Many people are imitating Chicken Little when it comes to discussing free trade among nations, especially China. Outsourcing, cheap labour, yadda, yadda, yadda...we're all going to die! "On April 5, 2004, the WTO published that China's imports increased by 40% while its exports grew by 5%. China leapfrogged three positions and ranks for the first time as number three among the world's leading merchandise importers. Please join us to examine how China can sustain its tremendous growth, the revolutionary reforms that are driving this economic powerhouse, and what business opportunities are opening up." Attention, all anti-free traders: China's BUYING is growing faster than their SELLING.

I agree with you 100% Nicely put!

Please spare us the drivel until you find the letter that gave flight numbers and targets.

"tolerance comes with experience not government intervention" Thanks Alliance. This should be tatooed on the forehead of every bureaucrat in the official languages and immigration departments. Ever since Trudoo-doo, the gov't has been clubbing us over the head to force us to like each other and it has only delayed natural assimilation and acceptance.

Some people here think that there is no limit to government resources. If you believe that every dollar you and I earn really belongs to the government, then that may be so. I guess we should be thankful that the tax rate isn't 100%. For the rest of us, we see gov't spending as making choices as to how to best use scarce resources. So I think August has a point. A heart operation for a child at Sick Kids, or rescue an adult that went to Iraq of his own free will? The choice is easy. Besides, with all this altruism going around, I'm sure you guys would have no problem raising the rescue/ransom money yourselves.

Come on, Hugo! The guy holds a press conference to announce his crime? Sorry, didn't look sincere. As has been said already, stop making excuses for the guy. HE'S the one who made a career out of telling everyone else how to live their lives!

On Wednesday Paul Martin confirmed that Liberals care little about, and may in fact resent Canadian history. Our 'Dear Leader' Martin was addressing the troops in Gagetown on Wednesday, throwing them a few long-overdue bones, when he described how, sixty years ago, we and the rest of the Allies stormed the beaches at NORWAY. He then confirmed his and his Liberal party's contempt for Canadian history by repeating the error. It even tops McCallum's Vimy/Vichy blunder. Liberals have done a fine job of erasing and trivializing Canada's history, as they bring in wave after wave of immigrants who aren't required to know or care either. The only time Canadian history is important to Liberals is when they are bashing the Europeans that settled this country as racists, sexists, etc.

Svend Robinson is one of the most strident, sanctimonious left wingers this country has ever seen. He never passed up an opportunity to lecture this country or the world about his left wing views, from trying to crash checkpoints in israel, to heckling Reagan in the House of Commons like a ten year old schoolboy. Heck, another socialist, Nelson Riis, even said Robinson would "drive a knife into your neck with no remorse" Spare us the crocodile tears and get lost, Svend.

No, BD, No. Please don't try to change historical facts on us, or confuse cause and effect in Spain. Let's review: Aznar was in fact headed for a victory. Spanish voters CHANGED THEIR MINDS en masse as a direct result of the train bombs. Giving up what you want in the face of physical threats is appeasement.

cgarrett, the least you could do is PRETEND you have a passing familiarity with the facts... Why do you waste our time with your made-up rants? Most European countries are in fact BELOW the US in per capita income. In fact, there isn't a major world economy ABOVE the US!!! (Which drives all left wingers and US haters crazy) www.worldbank.org/data/databytopic/GNIPC.pdf Oh, I forgot- liberals don't need no stinkin' facts

The US fought a war for independence, we did not. That's why they value freedom and independence more than we. The US got frisky and tried to invade. That's something liberals will NEVER get over, and why so many hate the US. (That and an inherent envy of success.) Overall we are lefties. Steal from the producers, give to the moochers. August, willy, good points.

Over to you, daniel.

Black Dog, IP, jccc: You all have an innate ability to display self-loathing and fear of freedom for all. When Muslims truly embrace freedom and democracy, let us know. Until then, you defend societies that believe in bending their citizens to their will through terror.
