Sorry, but that just smacks of outright bigotry. Freedom of religion in the US is a joke. As I said, it means Bible thumping Christian hypocrites only.

The pilot ADMITTED he had them deplane because they are Muslims. That is a violation of their civil rights.

They paid, and were cleared. There was no other reason but their faith for the pilot's actions.

I guess freedom of religion in the US is only for right wing, Bible thumping, biggoted, hypocritical Christians. The two men in this article were discriminated against only because of their faith. If they had been Christian white supremacists espousing racial hate on a plane, they would have been left alone. The pilot should be charged with "violation of civil rights". http://ca.news.yahoo.com/two-muslims-bounced-memphis-flight-despite-extra-screening-211817125.html

Well, at least he didn't have a stack of Bibles like that goofy Yank aa couple of years ago.

There is a plan to put a pipeline from the oilsands through northern BC to Kitimat for shipment to China. Enbridge Corp is telling us it is safe and good for the economy. In the end it will create no more than 10 jobs in Kitimat, so economically, it does little. As to safety, an Enbridge spokesman says "A spill is inevitable." If it is "inevitable" then why do we need it? I personally am against the pipeline, especially since the coasstline of BC is an environmentally sensitive area, as are the areas the line is supposed to come through. Most First Nations people are against the line, and I support them.

I don't know.

The leader promises a referendum on leaving the UK. Sounds kinda familiar. Only difference is that Scotland was an independent state prior to the Act of Union of 1707. Quebec was never an independent state. http://ca.news.yahoo.com/separatists-gain-scotland-awaited-referendum-voting-system-100256000.html

Is he going to teach "Tax Hikes 101"?

He IS an icon to nostalgic, old time Liberals, who worship his father as some sort of demi-god.

The NDP long ago ceased to be "the working man's party". They are now the "I don't want to work man's party". They view the working man now as a cash cow to be taxed, taxed and taxed again in order to support the lazy bastard that does not want to work. "If you make $50,000/year, you are rich and can afford to pay more taxes." is what Layton and some of his cronies have said. That is now about an average wage for the average working person.

Under the "Single transferrable vote" system, YOUR vote may be given to somebody you do NOT want elected.

Good bye, Ignatieff. You were in way over your head. Don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out.

The price of oil is dropping, but gas prices are still rising. First the oil companies said the gas prices reflect the rise in oil prices, then it was the crisis in Libya. So now that oil is dropping, are they going to tell us that gas prices need to rise to cover share price losses? The bastards will gouge us every chance they get.

Claude Choules was the last surviving WW 1 combatant. He passed away yesterday in Perth, Australia. Stand easy, sailor. Your duty is done. http://ca.news.yahoo.com/last-wwi-combatant-dies-australia-041304715.html

They had no candidate in my riding. I might have voted for them if they did. At least they are honest about being pirates, unlike the big parties.

As long as the Feds (no matter which party) keep giving Quebec goodies everytime Quebec whispers "separtism", the Quebecois will never leave.

So, will they award her seat to the BQ candidate, since he came in second?

Does the school bully recognize the rights of the little kid?

Libby? LOL! Somebody where I used to work coloured a picture of her green, and it is amazing how much she looked like Fiona from "Shrek"!

At least the CPC isn't afraid of their own shadow like the Liberals. The Liberals are so afraid that they will be told they are not being politically correct, that they have no guts to do ANYTHING except destroy Canada's military.

Her supporters gave her fresh flowers ? They killed a plant? Isn't that against their platform? LOL.

You can't see that the voters do NOT like the Liberals anymore? Look at their formeer leaders: Trudeau; Chretien. Arrogant bastards. So is Ignatieff. So is young Trudeau.

Justin will run on his daddy's name, and nostalgic Liberals will vote for him.

I have long said I would like to see them as the opposition, and tonight they have achieved it. This should bode interesting for the House. Well done, Mr. Layton. Your party has eaarned this honour. Sorry, Ignatieff, voters want a REAL Canadian as PM, not an American wannabe.
