She's just pasting stuff from one of the multitude of activist sites that she visits, a very annoying practice that really is no better than spam. Why people like this aren't banned is beyond me. This is a message forum, a place where people discuss issues--ie., they formulate their own opinions. edit: okay, it's from an e-mailed newsletter; whatever the case, annoying as hell.

The Liberals are going to get blown to pieces. Dion was a bad choice. The party needs to realize that it's a national party and they can't keep on trying to curry favour with Quebec by electing French-Catholic leaders.

In other words you want Canada to become another United States of America.

Everything they said while Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition was hypocritical. That's all part of the game, and enough Canadians were stupid enough to buy into it and make them the government.

I think shavluk's post just about sums it up. Personally, I think the Communists and Marxist-Leninists should be banned.

Just think what it could be were we not in Afghanistan and buying Globemasters and other overpriced military hardware. I suppose this could mean that we could see the other promised 1% point decreased in the GST, but somehow I doubt it.

More Japanese were killed during World War Two than Americans, does that make Japan the victim?

Ummm... it's not yet all that certain that there will be an election this fall, but whatever the case when I look at my riding I see that there is supposedly no Green candidate, but I know who the candidate is and will be. That's the case with many other ridings as well. Needless to say that the Greens have had candidates in all ridings in the last few elections and have had some very respectable results. The fact that they can field candidates in all ridings while the Bloc does not would seem to me to be grounds for including them in the leadership debate. One would like to think that in a democracy, all parties that receive official status should be able to present their platform to the electorate; the last thing we need is a two party-system like in the United States, and I'm guessing that even two parties is too many for you. Well, given the way that you are, I suppose I just wasted some of my time trying to present a reasoned argument. I await your juvenile response with much anticipation.

Well, the western world is sowing the wind by making China an economic powerhouse, and it's only a matter or time before we reap the whirlwind. Corporations want to export jobs overseas in order to exploit cheap labour and increase profit margins, well, I have no sympathy for them when it backfires. The sad thing is that the theory that the consumer can prevent the loss of jobs by buying products not made in China really doesn't work when there is no other option but to buy products made in China. For me something made in China has always meant that it is cheap, the Chinese gov't forcing corporations to publically apologize will never change that.

I don't recall you presenting anything of credible reliability. Just claims that the H. has lived along the Grand for who knows how long, something that is not supported by archeological evidence. Any university has the resources that will show that the H. did not reside along the Grand before the land was given to them; even so, I suppose that will make no difference because you will only believe what you want to believe. As for racism, really, the way you and a few others misuse that term really gets tiring after a while. If Indians who identify themselves as a group, do something that I do not agree with, I have every right to voice my disagreement. If you're trying to suggest that any expression of opinion about Indians is automatically racism simply because I'm (supposedly) white and they are Indians, then I'd say you've got problems. I'm sure, though, that all you're trying to do is deliberately be an ass to get under my skin. Well, people like you are a dime a dozen on the net and it doesn't bother me a bit. My suggestion to you is that if you have such a problem with the great nation of Canada, then feel free to leave; we don't need people like you here; the resources could be better invested in a person willing to be a good Canadian.

Yeah, I've watched it several times, in fact, as well as I believe every other documentary made about Oka. So what's your point? I try not to allow anything that reeks of propaganda--regardless of what side it takes--influence my attempt to develop an objective understanding of an issue/event. (Objectivity, it's safe to say, is a concept that is foreign to you.) As for these references to "Gary," please, don't feel that you have to provide any more proof that you're an idiot--that was established long ago.

I tend to not consider "overly idealized revisionist propaganda" the truth, which is why I don't refer to what I feel is the truth as "overly idealized revisionist propaganda".

The PC party certainly is.

Define "people like you". Don't give me cock and bull about being "of german [sic] descent". It's clear why you typed what you did.

the centre of the universe.

And you're the one calling me "retarded"? I think we've long ago established that your theory has no basis in fact. Just like all other Indians myths and legends. Your stories may be entertaining around the ol' campfire, but let's try not to stray to far from reality on here, okay?

Okay, Finland should be noted, but the others were essentially useless...

Personally, I don't think that MJ would know what to do if there was a constitutional crisis; she's more content to rearange the paintings at RH and go socialize than to really take her role seriously. In my opinion, her appointment was an attempt to make the GG office seem more trivial and redundant to the average Canadian. Martin was certainly no fan of our Monarchy, and I suspect Harper is not different, just more subtle about it. MJ really needs to be replaced with someone worthy of the position.

Yes, exactly, I've seen this first hand, but there are ways of getting around it, though. No educational institution wants to make an issue about this however because it would give them bad press.

Before you decide to mockingly write this way you should find yourself a nice objective history of the Soviet Union and carefully count the zeros in the figures used to quantify the number of people who were murdered for the sake of your beloved Communist ideology. The Nazi Regime may have been repugnant in just about every respect, but the fact that they singlehandedly took on the Soviet Union and kept it from becoming the global threat that it could have been is something that everyone in the western world should be thankful for.

Belinda Stronach crossing the floor is somewhat different to the doomsday scenario that you've concocted about a party making a concerted effort to hijack legislature. So parties under the current system aren't "very focussed and determined" to get people to vote for them? Parties would campaign no differently than they do now and the votes they receive would reflect what people think about their policies, leader, or party colour just like they do now. I wouldn't mind a less vague example about the potential doomsday scenario we could be facing under MMP.

Just caught the last two minutes of the Oka movie on CBC, and I could believe believe the claptrap. So that's what it's coming to in our country? Anything dealing with Idians is going to be overly idealized revisionist propaganda?

What rubbish. Do you really think that if a fringe group was trying to push some sort of "one-sided legislation" through, that the other parties wouldn't stop it? Of course your scenario is extremely vague, as are all such criticisms of MMP.

She avoids anything where she knows she'll come out looking bad. I'm still waiting for her to explain the contradiction between her support of "religious freedom" and the fact many recent immigrant women belong to religions where they are oppressed. In other words, despite claiming to be a feminist, she supports the right of religious groups to oppress women. Moreover, she prefers immigration to Canada by such groups rather than from more progressive European countries, whose people are more likely to readily adapt to Canadian society.

There are a lot of non-white men who feel miffed by the radical feminist movement. Why do you always pin things on "whitey"? That sounds like racism to me. Achieving equality means just that, but anyone who has done some reading on the feminist movement will soon realize that that it's leaders, while claiming to stand for equality, really want there to be a shift towards female dominance of power. As Michele Lansberg once said, the movement is about "deprivilaging men". In other words, reducing them to the status of oppressed. The problem is, that in order for men to be truly great leaders and providers, they need to be accorded privilage and respect. Many of the problems we have now with lack of political leadership and the declining status of the husband/father is the result of the undermining of maleness by radical feminism.
