What hate? I have every right to disapprove, with the lifestyles of gays. Is there a law in the books that states, 'gays are not perverts'? It could be the opinion of many that gays are depraved simply by being 'gay'. There are many in society who commit criminal acts which have nothing to do with being 'depraved'. Again you are giving by incorrect comparison, extreme cases of criminal actions, which again has little to do with one being 'depraved'.

A fact of what? The fact that gays are attracted to members of the 'opposite sex'.

Well , take solace in the fact that there are very very few sexually depraved gays out there. Oh but you should worry about the plentiful sexually depraved heterosexual people out there. IOW, dont create in your mind that which is not there. Gays are like women. Men turn them on. Is this not a fact? If it wasn't they wouldn't be called gays, right.

Don't be silly, Canada respects the U.S. 86%. It has no choice. http://www.buyusa.gov/canada/en/traderelationsusacanada.html

It's hardly your gay co-worker's fault, or the fault of homosexuals in general, that you can't keep your mind off hot man-on-man action. You are defining the major difference relating to the mind of a homosexual that "man to man' action does not exist in the mind of heterosexuals. This is one of the potentially troubling aspects that could occur when working with a sexually depraved homosexual third sex, misfit.

I agree, but at present cannot do much without the IP releasing personal information and the passage of this bill. But where will all this stop if this controversial bill is approved. Does this mean for instance the RCMP will have the legal capabilities, if they wish to do so, to write up a file, enforcing Charter rights by their own definition of wrong doing relating to what they consider is exceeding the limit of free speech? This is only a single example as their are many others relating to an infringement of personal existing rights.

According to Anne McLellan in 2005 said: "However, McLellan said that just like in the old wiretap days, police investigators will have to get the approval of a judge before they can have access." http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2005/11/15/...ance051114.html But the latest Citizen article contradicts that claim: "" At present, authorities must seek a court warrant before asking service providers to provide personal information. But under the lawful access bill, they would not have to seek judicial approval."

Was that for the entire regiment or just one battalion? A battalion usually numbers around 1,000 but a regiment can have several battalions. 4000 casualties for one battalion would be a lot, basically having to replace itself three times during the course of the war. Wikipedia is not clear as it states: "While other French-speaking units were also created, they were all broken up upon arrival in France to provide reinforcements for the 22nd, which suffered close to 4000 wounded and killed in the course of the war." It was WestViking who posted (with no confirmation), "Nevertheless, the two battalions that suffered the heavies casualties were both French volunteers from Quebec." I just was hoping WestViking would clarify his statement concerning 'what two battalions' is he talking about?

"The RCMP has urged the Harper government to reintroduce a controversial bill that would force Internet service providers to turn over personal information on subscribers, arguing the lack of such legislation has already had "serious consequences" on investigations, newly released documents show." " At present, authorities must seek a court warrant before asking service providers to provide personal information. But under the lawful access bill, they would not have to seek judicial approval." http://www.canada.com/ottawacitizen/news/s...87-97c613b70c11 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dion and the Liberals would also implement this law: "re-introduce, as the Official Opposition, the Modernization of Investigative Techniques Act - a Liberal bill that would have assisted in the fight against organized crime. This bill will allow the police and CSIS adapt to new communications technology. Telephone and Internet service providers will be required, subject to vigorous privacy safeguards, to include an interception capability in new technology, and make subscriber contact information available on request to designated law enforcement officials" http://www.citynews.ca/news/news_8753.aspx --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Could this mean the end to free speech: "The sweeping surveillance bill introduced in Parliament November 15,2005 called The Modernization of Investigative Techniques Act is a gross violation of Canadian civil liberties, of our Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and of our Constitutional entitlements. It must not be tolerated . Every politician who supports it is an enemy of Canada, our people, and our freedom. Every Canadian who cares about his/ her liberty must take a stand now. It is truly a question of liberty vs a police state. This Act is an attack on not only freedom of speech, but freedom of thought. It is Orwell's 1984 coming to fruition." http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?con...&articleId=1271 Police state is becoming a very common word these days.

Nevertheless, the two battalions that suffered the heavies casualties were both French volunteers from Quebec. The total number of Canadians killed at Vimy totalled 3,598 with 7,104 wounded. It does not specify how many of the the 22nd (French Canadian) Infantry Battalion were killed but only identifies 4000 as wounded and killed. Two hundred thousand French, British, Canadian and German perished at Vimy. Total casualties at Vimy including wounded totalled 800,000. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Vimy_Ridge http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_22e_R%C3%A9giment

The phrase is actually 'suffice it to say'. "Suffice to say" it appears is also correct. 1. "suffice to say" Also written and said more grammatically correct as "suffice it to say" or "(it) suffices to say", this term basically, literally means "it is sufficient to say"

This is easier said than done. To enforce criminal law via 'citizens arrest' the immunities and limitations must be clearly defined, which they are NOT. This is also greatly complicated by Charter rights. Your life could be at risk by trying to detain two muggers who could be or probably high on drugs. There is no safe way to detain suspected muggers. It is quite common for even police officers to have great difficulty apprehending suspects on drugs. The suspected is often so hyped up that when they are subdued they often die of a self induced heart attack and very often leaving the police department open to charges. What happens if criminals simply start to eliminate, one way or the other, people who 'get in the way' of criminals. Not so. We will point it out and be willing to try to change it. Authorities and politicians already know what causes societies rot and decay. But guess what? In reality they only turn around and actually encourage and feed the current problem, which is basically fueled by corporate greed.

Canada has already sold itself out years ago. To date, Canada has been unable to develop this land and as a result, has been only able to pander to the interest of our great Southern neighbour.

I guess you're part of the percentage group that can't identify the war of 1812, unless you don't consider Canada to be a nation yet at that point. It was to early as Canada only became a country in 1867. If you really want to go back it was the 'Battle of the Plains of Abraham' that formed the ground work relating to the origins of Canada's constitution. Both the war of 1812 and 'the Plains of Abraham', were both British efforts. It was only after the 'federal union' in 1867, that Canada became the Canada we know to-day. This is why the British are so important relating to Canada's basic origins and why they are an extremely important part of our history.

Where did you get the idea that Canadians are not proud of Vimy Ridge and Juno Beach? Is this the joke question of the year? Only 36% can identify any type of association with Vimy Ridge. In Quebec they faired much worse. http://www.ipsos-na.com/news/pressrelease.cfm?id=1474 Juno Beach failed the popularity test also. "Sadly, today, not a lot of young Canadians remember or even know what Juno Beach is. Perhaps only their grandfathers and grandmothers would know how important Canada’s role was in World War II. It is important for all of us to remember, especially now. By looking at Juno Beach as an example, we can remember how hard we Canadians tried to fight for and restore peace in our world." http://www.histori.ca/fairs/studentProject...omcat1?id=16009 Canada really does not have any war in which it fought to protect the actually country, to claim some sort of identity. The closest Canada could have came to this one IMV, was participating in the Iraq war which Canada declined. Both countries experienced loss of its citizens relating to '999' terrorist attack. Canada participating in Afghanistan is a noble effort, but is not on the same level as the direct '999' attack had on America, affecting both Americans and Canadians pertaining to loss of life.

And just how to you define healthy? Why don't you tell us about the diverse genetics that run in your family?

Man, is this what snorting does to a person. What is this man looking for? Maybe he 'can't get no satisfaction'. "He was cremated and I couldn't resist grinding him up with a little bit of blow. My dad wouldn't have cared," he said. "... It went down pretty well, and I'm still alive." Or was it all a joke? Ha-ha-ha: "(Richards' manager later told MTV News the guitarist made the comments "in jest" and he did not, in fact, snort his father's ashes.)" http://www.canada.com/topics/entertainment...8630e0b&k=60123

Depends how you view Iranian illusionary tactics. The timing says it all. Easter gift? I don't think so. This is simply making a mockery, out of the perception of good will. All Iranian smoke and mirrors, but is a smart move. In a short time the Iranians will insure, it will be pay back time.

Ottawa is the Capital City of Canada. It is a city like all other cities in Canada and supported by residents of Ottawa tax dollars. The federal presence in Ottawa and for that matter in unilingual French, Gatineau, Quebec and does make itself known with its discriminary 'official bilingualism' hiring practices. Do you really think Gatineau residents learned English for the benefit of unity and English speaking Canadians or rather for their own self interest and preservation, basically to obtain employment in English speaking jobs. Learning languages is a personal thing based on priorities. Canada is not Europe being a consortium of small countries incorporating different languages where it could be beneficial if one chooses to learn one or several languages for personal and economic reasons. In Canada the majority speak the English language, the same language of the ONLY country on its borders that stretches from sea to sea being the U.S. This nullifies any real reason to learn other languages a non issue for most Canadians as all or most economic benefits are based on the (no hassle) English language. I don't know how you can confuse 'the quest for money' and 'respect' as being related.

I suppose your right, as these days both types of firewalls is a good idea. I will be pursuing the hardware firewall recommendation. As far as programs go, my special net drive is pretty much clutter free of programs I don't use while surfing on the www.

That association is related in the case of Quebec. This is the reason for all the forced undemocratic bilingual policies, federal and municipal. Again, they are not trying to steal jobs by trying to force a government sponsored minority language to take these jobs. Newfoundlanders are competing fair and square for jobs out of the province of Quebec, in the majority English language. No problem there, as Ontario does not protect jobs according to a persons mother tongue like in Quebec. It is interesting, you being from Ontario would use the controversial word "Quebecois", rather than the word what most English speaking people use to describe people from Quebec, which is plain 'Quebecers'. Another give away you are a Quebec French nationalist. A job is not a privilege, it is a paid position for employment.

Why would you be opposed to a system that ensures your vote counts? Government state control is basically what we have now, PR is an electoral system and is used all over the world and gives fair representation. PR is used by most of the established democracies in the world, including Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Greece, Holland, Hungary, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Spain, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland, and Venezuela, to name a few. Do you mean "vote for a policy" or "kill a policy" during the course of a term, or pertaining to promises of a certain parties platform, prior to an election or what exactly do you mean? So do I.

Maritimes and Newfoundland do not try to take over other provinces economy with their language. They all speak English. English (outside of Quebec) is the MOST popular majority language of all Canada including Alberta, Newfoundland and the Maritimes. English will NEVER be dead in Canada. The only thing dead is your brain, not to recognize that fact. I realize this is hard for you to do when you are a bilingualism crusade. Good for you. You still don't understand that you can not force Canadians to learn a dead language or unwanted language. What the federal government is doing and even the City of Ottawa with undemocratic bilingual policies is denying English speaking Canadians their constitutional rights by not being part of the process that initially established these undemocratic bilingual policies. And that is the way it should be. If they want to work for private industry, outside of Quebec, anywhere in the country, one must be able to learn and speak English. Most radio stations, cable and satellite hate CanCon, as it FORCES ( a la communism) these companies to force Canadians to watch 35% of second and third rate Canadian entertainment. This is what they told me when I called my radio and cable company to complain about inferior Canadian programming.

Good luck with your new job. I would only like to point out that I have some reservations concerning the basic purpose of the 'Angels'. There are weak links with the Angels objectives being basically, being seen as 'rule by gang type enforcement' and the possibility of becoming over emotionally dominant and controlling carrying out the role of 'do-gooder social enforcers'. The basic point is the Angels are only masking or helping hide societies rot and decay and doing nothing to source out and rectify the root cause of social decay, which is the responsibility of our political leaders who are not doing their job.

The 'citizens' assembly a 103 member commitee created by Dalton McGuinty, will be proposing a mixed member proportional system in Ontario. "The plan would reduce Ontario's 103 geographic riding's to 90, but add 39 MPPs to be chosen by political parties based on the percentage of the vote the parties attract. The goal is to make the number of seats each party holds more closely reflect its actual percentage of the vote. The members who aren't directly elected could also be used to create a better balance of gender, ethnicity or regional representation." But the government is trying to discourage any type of electoral reform by putting in place a 'high barrier' to prevent change from the present 'first past the post' system. "A new system must be approved by 60 per cent of all votes cast and by a majority of voters in 60 per cent of riding's. It could certainly happen, though, because people are easily convinced that anything old must be no good. Any new system will be labelled "reform." It seems all the dissension against proportional representation is coming from the politicians themselves. Imagine that! I can't wait to vote on this one, if it ever gets to referendum stage. http://www.canada.com/ottawacitizen/news/b...797acffb0b4&p=1
