Separatist groups in Quebec will continue to use 'nation' according to their own definition no matter what Mr. Harper says. Oh sure, using 'nation' as in the sense of a country and as if no one is allowed to poke fun at Quebecers or their politics. The real traitor in this contest should have been George Etienne Cartier (one of the Quebec Fathers of Confederation) should of insisted with dealing with no other country but France. http://www.canada.com/ottawacitizen/news/s...b0-87705ce6d4e8 Just like the recent sign controversy outside Quebec city reading, 'Welcome to the National capital." http://www.canada.com/nationalpost/news/ca...67-7ef280341d6b One must ask the question, 'why do Canadians continue to tolerate all of this'?

Hey DA, you really are DARK!

"rather they just want to be treated fairly'. TALK ABOUT NOT MAKING ANY SENSE!

Not necessarily. We have a political party with roots in the province of Quebec that think they have no use for the common economic interest of the ROC and the U.S. Amazing, but true.

Consider yourself lucky then..if you have something to work with, unlike the poor crown prosecutor who goes home early because of nothing to work with from a partially done investigation caused by police being improperly funded. You might think that in your own mind, but I would say the way the Charter is written up and the lack of evidence produced by the Crown, you probably consider it a piece of cake. Maybe your living a little to high hog. But then again a first -class constable risk his life, is physically spit on, attacked etc. and you worry about bills to pay, from the comforts of your home office. You already admitted you spend three hours work per case, so add to that another 8-10= $1,000....not bad for 11-14 hours work. Oh, I didn't know that...are you in competition with the State. Yes they do. Are you telling me the aquitals are going to be responsible for paying millions of dollars in compensation to the tainted blood victims , in a civil case, if found guilty? Ha-ha-ha. Everyone knows Simpson's trial was the joke of the century.

Who the hell wouldn't like to live on 50-100 acres or more and call it home. I have no sympathy for farmers, they want their cake and they want to eat it to. If they can't compete with U.S. market, then they don't have the proper resources or the climate. Go pump gas and rent or buy like everyone else!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Energy_Program Quebec being in the energy business was left alone with its hydro electric projects (even though hydro electricity is classified differently than oil it should nevertheless be taxed) to export and fully profit from the sale of hydro energy to the U.S. The federal government never gave Albert a chance to be a key player in the aerospace industry. Alberta was not allowed to compete in the transcontinental line dominated by Montreal based Trans Canada Airlines also known as State owned Air-Canada. all Western airlines were eventually devoured by Air-Canada. Its a fact August, Alberta was not treated like Quebec by the Fed's, a small province that could also have used federal help and Quebec up to now was left alone to profit from tax payers initiatives and why shouldn't Alberta. http://www.albertaventure.com/abventure_47...tml?doc_id=6744

Its not an opinion its Charter rights. And besides Mc.Guinty continues WRONGLY to refer to Ontario schools as PUBLIC SCHOOLS and Ontarians believe that. Ontarians forget they are funding FAITH BASED SCHOOLS ALREADY.

There is no doubt about it that our dollar is unstable as far as purchasing power goes. In 2002 when the Canadian dollar was worth 62 cents U.S. a 567 gram loaf of bread in B.C. sold for $1.38. In 2007 despite the Canadian dollar being at par with the U.S dollar, ( 38 cents more that 2002 levels), which anyone can attest to, bread averages across the country at about $2.40, when actually because of the increase of the loonie, bread should have dropped to around $1.00 rather than increase $1.02 to $2.40. http://www.gordallan.com/ImmigratingBudget.php On top of this and just recently (unrelated) flour has gone up another $250.00 a pallet because of poor growing conditions and reduced supplied. Strange indeed when only a few years ago Western Canada had grain rotting in silos, because they could not get rid of it. http://web02.nm.cbc.ca/consumer/story/2007...ead-rising.html

No, you are wrong. And John Tory did the right thing by originally proposing to fund faith based schools for the religious minorities. http://www.tomorrowstrust.ca/?p=897

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/sto...PStory/Business I fail to see all the fanfare associated with the rise in the Canadian dollar, as we are still Mexico of the North with a badly lagging loonie relating to its purchasing power. If you check out on line prices of many products you will see savings are considerably more than 16 cents on the dollar even with shipping tagged on. On top of this 16 cents if you add the associated GST-PST most of us have to pay, purchasing power in Canada is even less to around 31 cents excluding all those hidden taxes on certain items. So in reality the purchasing power of a loonie in Canada is minimum 70 cents of a U.S. dollar depending on the item. By this logic our Canadian dollar would have to be worth $1.30 minimum U.S. to equal U.S purchasing power. http://www.canada.com/ottawacitizen/news/b...47-15902d0b405e

I agree Christians don't go walking down the street knotted in prayer beads, but what Canadians report what they are, Christian, that is what they are, Christian. If they were secular, majority Christian Canadians would classify themselves as secular, but probably don't for good reason as they don't want to be assoiciated with paganary and nothingness. Are you saying those who follow Islam are not extremely religious? Think again.

Quebec's top traitor would obviously have to be Canada. But I think the question should be properly be reworded to reflect Canada as a country. And that question would be: Pick Canada's top traitor and that would be 'Quebec'.

Well, you are being discriminated against because your public tax dollar funds English and French Catholic schools. I would say you are paying dearly for the absence of religious doctrine.

No , God has not moved on and is proven by the fact Canada is dominated by Christians and other religions totaling 83.5%, accordind to the 2001 census. I really don't know how you can continue to be so anti-religious and make ridiculous statements, when your tiny minority (no religious affiliation), is a laughable 16.5% and this is with a big 44.2% increase from your previous 1991 total of 12.6%. That 44.2% increase really sounds big, doesn't it. Even looks like Statistics Canada is glorifying those numbers. http://www.religioustolerance.org/can_rel1.htm It appears though according to this link that government actually hopes the country will fully become secular to overcome religious indifference between cultures and hopefully obliterate racism. Even the federal government itself, appears to have a high level of contempt against Christians.

The reason they were forced into residential schools is because they were savages. But it didn't do any good as they refused to learn and were not backed by their elders. I mean if you were walking on Crown land or thinking of building a little cabin and ended up with an arrow in the back because the Indians thought it was their land dramatizes this savagery. And to think this type of savagery still exist to-day but with guns, high powered cars, blockades etc. Aboriginals really don't have any part in this discussion and it is obvious they still adhere to their old ways and are not part of modern society.

The Charter is the root cause of this problem and it should be scrapped along with official multiculturalism and other aspects that are dividing Canadians and the country. I still believe though a system should be incorporated to lead children down the right path of life and what other system outside of religion can do this in the proper way, as it is part of the nature of man to believe in something that really does not have to be explained to provide us with an inner faith.

Excellent, jennie and why shouldn't they if they are not part of the system and discriminated upon? But the point is if the province supported faith based schools they would have to teach only what is in the Ontario school curriculum. Iam getting a little tired of this secularism bit. We have it with government, separation of church and state, but in schools only Catholics are funded and other religions are ignored. But the point is who is going to teach the religious aspect of life, faith and morals which many people need to survive. You seem and others seem to think it is the role of the parents when we know many parents are irresponsible themselves and some don't even bother to feed their own children properly much less teach their children to believe in a faith and have morals that help to achieve a higher level of common sense and understanding knowing right from wrong. The last thing I want to see is more secular arrogant pagan children running around with absolutely no clue what life is about outside of the popular cultural fantasies, music, drugs and sex that lead to a senseless immoral lifestyle. And some parents wonder why there children are out of control and they cannot do nothing with them.

Why are you so against official multiculturalism? Its here its real and personally I am against it but until the Charter is scrapped we have to accept it. French don't care about religion but use Catholic schools to promote their French language. Ontario has four constitutionally protected, publicly funded school systems: English Public, English Catholic, French Public and French Catholic. The schools in these four systems serve 95% of Ontario students. So why under our current system would it hurt to fund the other 5% of faith based schools? This is outright discrimination against the 5% of other faiths. Do you realize that if you do not fund other faiths they could or will operate their own private faith based schools with a curriculum that might not not be compatible with Ontario's curriculum and then you are looking for real problems.

It is obvious Sir guyser dies not know what congestive heart failure is.

I tend to agree with you. Emergency heart surgery does Not qualify for chest pain. But congestive heart failure due to clogged heart arteries does and means the difference between life and death. By all reports Chretien was not suffering from congestive heart failure.

The only problem I have here is an incompetent system of law and order being exploited by willing defense layers. Police have a hard time making charges stick and then are confronted by people like you armed with the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, accusations of racial profiling or or pinpointing technicalities that have nothing to do with the crime in order to get their clients off the hook. This is on top of a dysfunctional system of law and order that is drastically underfunded where police do not even have the resources to enforce municipal by-laws much less conduct a competent investigation in more serious crimes. In this country, currently our system of law and order is broken. Do you not understand that. Do you not understand people like you are exploiting our system of law and order for personal profit. How can that be when the system of law and order is underfunded and dysfunctional, crippling the powers of the Crown? More big words coming from the mouth of a lawyer. Relating to the 'tainted blood case' it would appear that the acquittal is a successful fraudulent cover up to avoid the payout of large sums of money to innocent victims. And Americans who think O.J.Simpson was guilty was a staggering 77%. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O._J._Simpson_murder_case

If that is what you believe, good for you. "Not shooting everyone in the back of the head," I said TERRORIST associated with mass murders caught in the act and even ones that write threats should be taken very seriously like this dunce in St.Louis who is now being held on a $1.1 million dollar bond. http://www.stltoday.com/stltoday/news/spec...B5?OpenDocument That is what you do, ""BAD guilty clients" will be afforded the benefit of reasonable doubt and a fair trial." You must think Canadians are a bunch of idiots to believe that the vast majority of criminals worry about receiving a fair trial. They want a 'not guilty verdict' and that is what they are paying you for. I can comprehend the justice system quite well, such as those found innocent in the latest blood scandal, O.J. Simpson and a host of others who make the so called legal system nothing more than a bad joke in many cases. And I know what a defense lawyer can be compared to, a corrupt loud mouthed politician in a black robe. The more you pay the more they bend the facts, all in the name of the almighty dollar.

Not really. But more in a womens case for certain as with a women the loss of her breast means the loss of her place in society in procuring the man of her dreams for providing her for what ever she considers important and also establishes and confirms her sexual identity as a women. Obviously breast play a very important part in societies sexual merrygoround as does the penis, but more so for women.
