Yes, the GG has shown a lot of support for the troops. They would love to see her.

An interesting letter concerning Remembrance Day protocol. I'll have to keep an eye on the guy, see if this is another new habit of the new government. I spent a while looking for some confirmation of this protocol, but could not find it. That of course doesn't mean it don't exist.

There is a Jewish lobby in North America with a pro-Israel agenda. I don't think it's fair to call it a "conspiracy" though.

If there are security concerns preventing Jean from visiting despite her pleas to visit, why were Harper, MacKay and O'Connor able to visit? They were there on business, not sight-seeing. Then what about the "House of Commons multi-party defence committee and the Senate multi-party national security committee" referred to above? Why are they blocked? The only people playing partisan games in this situation is the CPC. Don't tell me the GG is partisan or that the opposition has an ulterior motive for having her go there. That's BS.

First, how is this bad news? And second, stow the off-topic personal banter.

Maybe if you're going to post a topic you could do a little research. Posting a title saying that a bill is moving forward and then saying in the op you really don't know what's going on with it is a little....slack.

Odd how popular he is with the troops, and how the mention of Jack Layton's name brings sneers and contempt, eh? Odd that the first time I saw this expressed was on a military website, eh?

Isn't there a topic on this already?

I have no argument with your criticism of Indonesia. But they don't condemn Muslims to death for converting to Christianity. Compared to the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, Indonesia is a democracy. But they don't prosecute murders of Muslims who do convert. What?

It's all very well to engage in slanderous speculation. Will anyone accuse you of hatred, I wonder? A perceived ethical issue is fatal in an election. Dion will be hung out to dry on that very concept... on top of not being able to speak English coherently. "A perceived ethical issue", huh? Nevermind that Gomery announced that all cabinet members were free of blame/responsibility/negligence, let's just paint them all with the same brush. When it's politically convenient.

It's all very well to engage in slanderous speculation. Will anyone accuse you of hatred, I wonder?

Ahhhh.... the fact that Harper said something about Svend Robinson's arrest for THEFT was spun as homophobia. “I am sure the picture of the honourable member of the NDP is posted in much more wonderful places than just police stations.” You don't see the sexual reference in that?

The idea that everyone who voted CPC or polls for CPC is accepting of each and everyone of their policies is incorrect. As well, they publicaly backed away from abandoning our Kyoto committments, so not everyone knew it. It's becoming louder and more obvious that they're not going to honor the treaty, and the last poll of Canadians on Kyoto indicated that 75% (I believe) said they want Canada to meet the targets. So what does that leave for the CPC, 25%? Again, you cannot point at a single issue and definitively say that voters will stick or run based upon that. Chuck Straal is doing it with the CWB, stating that it's his belief people who voted for them supported that move. I'm not so sure. It is my belief that Kyoto is hurting their numbers now because it's moved much more to the limelight this year and they're taking critisism from all sides.

It isn't trolling if I point out your lies Gerry. It is called honesty and it should be welcomed here on this board. Are you so lacking in the ability to support your "facts" that all you can do is cry troll? To call what I said a "lie" and then ask me if I'm "blinded in your hatred of the Conservatives" is trolling. I will not have you accusing me of hatred anymore Ricki, so yes, I will cry troll. You are looking for a reaction, quite obviously. Now you've got it. You decide to begin it, and you can decide to end it. I called the Republican Party "Conservatives". They are conservatives. I didn't say "conservative party". You decided to take THAT and call me a liar and question if my hatred is making me lie. Classic trolling behaviour.

Trolling is very much open to interpretation. Yet again proving my point about special treatment here on the board. Other posters have been publicly admonished by Greg for accusations of trolling. Yet you are free to do so. What else would you have me do? Greg himself has called you a troll. Start to take the hind Ricki. Your personal stalking/attacking of me and accusations against this forum of bias are pure troll behavior. I'm quite happpy to co-exist with you here, but you seemingly can't abide it for some reason. Edit your post: "This Angus Reid poll from November 8th shows the Liberals up eight points."

There is no Conservative party in the US. Is that an outright lie Gerry or are you just too blinded in your hatred of the Conservatives to realized you are talking about American politics. I see you've decided to take up your trolling behavior against me again. Hopefully greg finds the courage to put a stop to it this time.

Hmm, two polling firms. One of whom released that November 8th poll. How do you define several? I am not speaking only of these two, obviously. I'm not even speaking of yours. I clearly referred to several polls that support the same trend that is demonstrated by this environics poll. Again you are accusing the board of bias, and again attacking me. Why can you not stop this behaviour Ricki?

You have been warned repeatedly about trolling. Why do you continue? And you might want to edit your post (again).

You are only posting the polls that support your beliefs. Of course you are going to interpet those favourably... Another reference to your Nov. 8th poll? It appears to have been a blip, since several other polling agencies are showing the same trend as shown in this one. And I'm free to post whatever I want and interpret it how I like. The fact that Canadians haven't gotten to know any of the Liberal leaders in any real detail is a valid analysis which sheds some light on the poll betsy is referencing. Once a leader is chosen, and some time has passed, such a poll might then be relavent. As for this poll, OBVIOUSLY it's favorable to anyone opposed to this Conservative government. There's not really much interpretation in that. Three polls showing a distintice trend of Cons down, Libs up.

Well that's interesting spin. I've seen the poll. It's not surprising that Canadians aren't feeling connected to the Liberal hopefuls prior to the leadership race. Bob Rae will triumph over Stephen Harper in stunning fashion, that's my prediction.

You haven't shown that it hasn't increased. My bet is you can expect a telegraph article by Bob Carter to be linked to now...That article was what started this widespread myth that temperature hasn't increased since 1998 Bob Carter, yes indeed. A die-hard liar/denier paid for by oil&gas. http://allpoliticsnow.com/content/view/27/1/ You probably called it. Typical left wing tactic of the gloom and doom industry and all originating from commie command and control at the cesspool of corruption. What is the "typical left wing tactic"? Looking truthfully at a source for information, and identifying when the source is a bought and paid for liar? Yeah, I guess it is. You are the one who chose to make Bob Carter your expert. That guy isn't a scientist, he's a PR man. And he gets his money from the energy lobby sector. I linked a source which contains various links to information on him. You might want to read it if you're thinking of posting anythign else from Mr. Carter. Unless you're not interested in the truth, that is. You might want to take a look at the facts. http://www.junkscience.com/MSU_Temps/UAHMSUglobe-m.htm You don't even know what you're posting. You didn't answer my question B.Max: Why do you deny the reality of Global Warming? Is there some financial concern to you, or do you find it unbelievable and overwhelming?

Um we didn't send any troops to Afghanistan until after sept. 11 so what you are you talking about? He didn't say otherwise, so what are you talking about? You've been told that the movement calling for Canada to get out of Aftghanistan existed prior to Harper taking office. I've seen the signs, heard the chants. Another poster did as well.

So speaks the resident grassrooter for the liberals. Coming from you that's hilarious. No, everything I said is true and you know it. Quite obviously when you said "the bottom line here is that the Canadian "peace movement" of late didn't aim at Afghanistan until the liberals left power." you pretended to know of something that you don't. Since you posted that two people have informed you that they've witnessed things that demonstrate you to be wrong about your assurtion. It is just a convenient claim to say the opposition is only there because Harper is in power, one I've heard before. The reality doesn't back it up, obviously.

Wow. What "wow"? You got something to say Ricki? Don't troll me anymore.
