Sir Bandelot

Good lord what a crew. I'd rather cut off my arm, before I would ever let it mark a vote in support of one of these. But then again, I won't let it vote for the other guys either. The sad state of politics in Canada

"Oh for the good old days". A lot can still happen before the next election. Seems to me as long as the GOP keeps playing the crazy card, and puts their "faith" in someone like Palin for example, real conservatives will not take them seriously. All it takes is for the Dems to come up with a strategy to appeal to rational conservative Republicans, and the whole house of cards will come down. Now I aint no Liberal there Pliny, so before yougo saying "You people.." let me say, I don't give a hoot who wins in the US, as long as they are competant. The GOP has to make some adjustments.

Mike Lux, a respected progressive political strategist and former adviser to Bill Clinton, attributed the retained Democratic advantages partly to "changing demographics and overall trends" as well as the harm dealt by "Bush and all the crazies" in the GOP. Crazies is right. The birthers movement and the fearmongering, as well as historical forgetfullness by the crazies has driven away the more normal, moderate Republicans. You can only fool some of the people some of the time. Normal people that is...

The general consensus amongst rational scientists is that there is no threat from a supernova beyond about 100 light years from Earth. Betelgeuse is something like 650 light years. But it would certainly be an impressive show!

Its simply that the tinfoil hat is on the other head, and this is the best they can do (for now). Any reason to give the masses, to inspire hatred of the opposition.

Racism is ingrained in all of us. Even when its not completely obvious in a particular interaction between people, it is still there, below the surface. There is a natural, or at least initial, distrust when encountering someone of a different race or culture, and this may be a normal defense mechanism. Since there has been such a long history of race hatred and misunderstanding, it adds to the distrust. But once we establish that the other person is not a threat, most people don't have a problem after that. I think thats the difference right there, between a normal persons reaction and that of a racist.

But then again maybe they don't really care, it does not matter what the public thinks in this regard so long as their voting base remains loyal.

There is no music, only "products" made for the purpose of business.

Exactly. So was Leni Riefenstahl

The best thing we can do to resolve racial tensions is to have more dialog. The world needs more beer summits... I suggest everybody get a six-pack and head straight for the Jane-Finch corridor, start knocking on doors.

There is no religion, just a product of our minds, thoughts, and deeds. Islam does not exist. Christianity, does not exist. There is only the mind of man and all the good and evil that comes out of it, the same in any society.

Or how Richard Nixon hated Pierre Trudeau, because he was smarter than Nixon. http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/prin...bhub=PrintStory

Are you still writing fortune cookie comments after everybodies posts?

Some of them certainly are, when it gives them political advantage. As is typical among American politicians...

Anti-Americanism is long tradition in Canada, and we are proud of it. I'm sure you-all can take some jabs from the little guys? Quite honestly, there's not much hope for Canada to survive as a country without it, at least to a certain extent.

Dr. Rolando Del Maestro says the lesion Holmes was diagnosed with is benign, and usually slow-growing. It typically does not require urgent attention, he said. "If it's a real emergency in the sense that the patient's visual function is getting substantially worse, the patients would be brought in immediately and would be operated on the next day," he said. U.S. doctors considered the cyst a tumour, and that it would cause death if not removed immediately. But neurosurgeon Michael Schwartz of Toronto's Sunnybrook Hospital says he's never seen or heard of a death from a Rathke's cyst. He told CBC News symptoms can be alleviated if the cyst is drained or part of it removed to take pressure off the optic nerve. "Then the person's vision almost always improves." "If somebody called me about a patient that was losing her vision or had a structural abnormality of the brain I would see them within days." Anti-medicare ad an exaggeration: experts In other words, a balanced response to the needs of the patient. However, being in pain for 6 months is hardly desirable. I suppose once the disease has been diagnosed, appropriate medications can be provided... again much cheaper in Canada.

Congratulations on earning more money. Things are looking good, for the next round of criminals to come into power. I'm sure many of you are getting excited about the opportunity to place your vote...

How do they know they are really 190 million years old?

They can raise my insurance, and other prices. I'm just gonna keep spending less, and less, and ...

Excludes? How is Canada excluded? We simply follow the US example- if any of thy laws offend thee, cast them out. Cast them out...

For USA, the chickens are now coming home to roost. Over the past 8 years, they have distanced themselves from their friends and trading partners around the world. They broke their trade agreements whenever it suited them. There is never a guarantee that they will honour their business contracts, and some doubt that they even can honour them now, if they want to. And make no mistake- If it suits their national interest to make you go away, you're a goner. But now looks like all those little chickens are coming home, baby.

That was the problem caused by laissez faire, without rules anything could happen. Laissez Faire is capitalism without theory. Every man for themself. As I recall they were the ones who were marginalized through name calling, called tin-foil hatters and such. Seems that the information media wants to deny or call in question that this crisis was seen coming, by many in fact. Shall we get the tin foil out some more?

Brian Mulroney killed the federal PC's. After him, they deserved to die as a party, and much of the blame lies on Mulroney himself, IMV. But there is room for another conservative party, eastern conservatives lets say. IE. More financial, less biblical...

I see no reason to be insulted, sir... rest assured there will be a response to this. Your insults have simply gone too far this time.
