Don't be too sure, remember where the last little Canadian Earthquake "hit"... http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/story/2010/06/23/tor-earthquake.html Does the St. Lawrence follow an ancient "fault line" in the Earth? The Laurentian Mountains just "appeared" or were they "pushed up"? http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.com/index.cfm?PgNm=TCE&Params=A1ARTA0007094 Like I said NEVER underestimate nature, one does so at their own great peril...

This is true...

Funny how big powerful nations, like the US and Japan can get "swamped" by their own Superiority Complex, and in much the same way... The US counted on some levies that failed to keep out water and people died... Japan counted on some sea walls that failed to keep out water and people died and are dying... Just maybe it's not a good idea to be too confident in mankind having all the right answers, eh...

Interesting TV today seeing Vic Toews getting grilled... Bev Oda's on for tomorrow I understand... Nice play on Vic's part using the "overwhelm with info" defence dumping a 1000 + page "financial report" on committee members to read, with no TIME to read it... Seems a little "last ditch effort" to me though...

Naaaa, I put a price on my humour, only your lack of a sense of humour is "PRICELESS"...

Nice of you to AGREE with my assessment of the Harper Regime...

Personally I don't much care whether we get an NHL team in Winnipeg or not... The Arena's been built and it's AHL franchise is doing just fine... Winnipeg back when raised over 10 Million Dollars a couple of hundred of which was mine, without any "Guarantees" to try and keep the Jets in Winnipeg in the first place... If/when Winnipeg gets an NHL franchise back it'll be just fine, but thanks for caring... As for the WHY no NHL team is in Winnipeg, one word, Bettman, says it all, the "economics" are all in place, and they do not involve any tax payer money except on the INCOME side...

You put Chretien into the same catagory as Bush? WOW! I'd never have guessed that Chretien had that much INFLUENCE on the United States and the world at large... How many wars did Chretien start again? Just so we can ALL see the comparison... Hell, I didn't even know Chretien was on a book tour like ol' Bushy, thanks for telling me, is Chretien getting his own Library built too? Where's it gonna be?

Japan's problems have pretty much "skunked" everything, including Canada's election talk... Lucky Harper... You must have me confused with someone... I've never peddled anything but a bike in my life... I also don't tell anyone what to do... Not even when they want to jump in front of an oncoming train... Free choice should be free right? Surely you'll agree with that...

GOOD'UN!

psst, just so you don't look stupid, Chretien isn't around anymore, you know, history, where-as Harper very much is "right now"...

I dunno, seems to me selling out Canada to US interests, same as MORONey did; like awards to Lockheed Martin the Mega US arms contractor, - Navy Refits, - Canadian Census, and now an "open ended at any cost" - F-35 contract, all without any "competition" seems pretty extreme and VERY "Right wing" to me... Of course thinking that "Harper Government" should replace "Government of Canada" on anything in any form is CERTAINLY EXTREME and seeing who's doing it certainly makes it "right wing"... Then there's copying the "methodology" of the "Sponsorship Scandal" to promote his Harper Regime, that's only Right Wing Extremism in thinking that he could get away with it... Then there's Harper's total contempt of Parliament, his stacking of the Senate and a whole bunch of corrupt and/or stupid people populating the Harper Regime benches... All in all I think my "assessment" is pretty much "on the money"... OH, did I forget to mention his unqualified support for Israel his distain for "Global Warming" and the environment in general, his being in bed with Corporations, his total lack of accountabitity for a RECORD $56 BILLION deficit, his trashing of the UN undermining Canada's seat on the UNSC and - - - oh never mind, there's just too much of it...

Hey, don't blame "us" for that, when Harper made himself "The Government of Canada" what else was there left to call it but the Harper Regime?

Turned on a TV lately? What "conspiracy theory"?

Hey, don't carp, quess or make up stories about it, look at the FACTS to see how closely the Harper Regime is following the "blueprint" of the "Sponsorship Scandal"... INDEPTH: SPONSORSHIP SCANDAL Timeline CBC News Online | Dec. 17, 2008 That's the best way for everyone to see what most Liberals already see of this Harper Regime... Two WRONGS do NOT make a RIGHT no matter how much the Harper Regime wants everyone to think so...

Why are you asking me and not the families of the people killed on the planes Ghadaffi Duck blew up? You see I really don't like the guy, never did, never understood why Bush did like him enough to let him off the hook... Just one more reason not to like Bush either... Yeah, you're right, Bin Laden was/is a bad guy, likes to plant bombs in places, lives and eats with his "brothers" in the desert and in caves, doesn't have a country to call his own, Clinton told Bush all about him... Now, Ghadaffi likes to hijack and blow up airplanes, likes to live large in luxury, uses a lot of "outside" hired help, has his own country with some oil, hmmmm, I wonder...

Some interesting comments, I still think it was stupid to reopen that can of worms, but when taken in context, not all that harmful overall... Taking the new Winnipeg Stadium into the picture, I think Winnipeg got "short changed" though, consisering it's going to be a UNIVERSITY Stadium along with being a "football" stadium... What bugs me is that it's not an enclosed stadium, for more BIGGER events in Winnipeg, that doesn't make a lot of forward looking economic sense...

Good post... "Pressure, pressure, everywhere and nary a moment to think." All things considered, Martin was the key to turning Canada's economy around, and Chretien was key in keeping the leeches off Martin's back while he was doing it...

Maybe, I wouldn't know since I'm not on the Left... The MIDDLE is the place to be, easier to see both sides that way...

Seems to me that there are quite a few votes to be had from extolling Harper being in bed with the Israelis, no questions asked, too... Echoing Americans, like Harper is, and not having an independent position in regards to issues like Israel/Palestine doesn't sound like a winning issue to me... Maybe it's Ignatieff holding on to that vote issue since he's certainly ahead on the Christian vote after Harper's trashing of KAIROS... Over all, it sounds like there's a few things that an election may expose, but probably more about the Harper Regime than the man Ignatieff is...

No, obviously you don't get it at all... Go read up on Liberal policies... Or wait a couple of weeks and you'll hear them... Whatever...

Nope, gave him a "royal blast" for going to see him, what'd you say to YOUR hero for pardoning him so that Martin would and could see him? - The reporter says about Qaddafi" --- "He was at pains to explain how he and President Bush were alike, saying "We are on the same wavelength". In all his years as a bad boy in the eyes of the West, he said, Libya was simply doing what Bush did when he invaded Iraq. "Bush is saying that America is fighting for the triumph of freedom," Gaddafi said between sips of tea. "When we were supporting liberation movements in the world, we were arguing that it was for the victory of freedom. We both agree. We were fighting for the cause of freedom." At the time, it may have sounded like the typical ramblings of the Libyan leader. But now, a year later, Gaddafi and Bush do apparently see eye to eye. On Monday, Gaddafi accomplished one of history's great diplomatic turnarounds when Secretary of State Condeleezza Rice announced that the U.S. was restoring full diplomatic relations with Libya and held up the Great Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya as "a model" for others to follow. Rice attributed the ending of the U.S.'s long break in diplomatic relations to Gaddafi's historic decision in 2003 to dismantle weapons of mass destruction and renounce terrorism as well as Libya's "excellent cooperation in response to common global threats faced by the civilized world since September 11, 2001." But as much as the Bush Administration would like to believe it, Gaddafi's decision to come in from the cold was not simply a response to the war on terror and the U.S.'s toppling of Saddam and the Taliban regime in Afghanistan before that. In TIME interviews with key Libyan players, including three with Gaddafi going back before 9/11, it was clear that other important factors were also at work. Foremost among them was the collapse of the Soviet empire, which brought down Gaddafi's once-powerful friends in capitals like Moscow, Prague and Bucharest. Another important factor was the rise of Islamic fundamentalists in the Middle East, which resulted in extremist attacks in Libya and against Gaddafi personally. - http://islamnewsroom.com/news-we-need/1507-qaddafi-qim-the-bush-of-libyaq ps - Getting Bush to go after Bin Laden, a sworn enemy of Gaddafi, two birds with one stone?

Honestly, I agree with you, so what? I don't care about Ignatieff one way or another... He won't be on my ballot, nor will Harper or Layton for that matter... What is it you don't understand about that? What would you like me to do about it? You seem to have a problem with Ignatieff, I don't, get over it... FYI I didn't particularily like Chretien either, again, so what?

The Cold War was the big mess, Vietnam was just another US commi hating part of that mess... I'd have preferred that Bush had gone after the Libyan fruitcake (yet at the TIME the REAL threat) instead of some backward hicks in Afghanistan... When he "pardoned" Qadaffi it really made me wonder if my personal "conspiracy theory" about 9/11 was really that that far fetched... But, it is what it is, then and now... I'd really hate to see Qhadaffi pull another rabbit out of his hat, especially now that he's "flaked out" and it's the young Qhadaffi that'll reap the "benefits" of daddy's "work"...

You do know what sarcasm is, right? Take another look... - In 2005, Ignatieff left Harvard to become the Chancellor Jackman Professor in Human Rights Policy at the University of Toronto and a senior fellow of the university's Munk Centre for International Studies. He was then publicly mentioned as a possible Liberal candidate for the next federal election. -
