  1. 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.
  2. Please spare us the drivel until you find the letter that gave flight numbers and targets.
  3. "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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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
  10. 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.

  12. 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.
  13. sir springer, you were darn close! Have you seen province by province results? I have the impression from what I've seen that Harper's support was pretty even across the country.
  14. Yes, I think the Liberals just may crash in the next election. Paul Martin can blame Liberal corruption on the House of Commons janitor if he wants to, but this time I think the s**t is going to stick.
  15. Thanks for your thoughts, Hugo, but I think PI and udawg are hard core left. For liberals like them, there is no place for logic. To paraphrase an expression, if Stephen Harper was to walk on water, liberal headlines would read "Harper can't swim". Some are just lost causes.
  16. Conservatives across Canada, from every province, now have a common voice to battle the corruption that is the Liberal Party. They now have a voice to fight for that majority of Canadians that know what is fair and just, and do not want or need to beggar their neighbour to get ahead. The kind of people that will oppose Stephen Harper and the Conservative Party are the ones who feel that it is the guaranteed right of one Canadian to live off the efforts of another. To these people, panhandling is not just a street activity, it is political philosophy. Sorry to all liberals here, but the pendulum is swinging back to common sense. Don't let it hit you on the way out...
  17. You sound like Marx speaking to Lenin the first time they planned the glorious system called communism. Why don't you "like minded" thinkers just PM each other and spare the rest of us a boring discussion about failed ideas.
  18. Do you think the practise of slavery originated in the United States? Do you believe that racism did, too? Absolutely shocking statements to make :angry:
  19. Speak for yourself, please. If you did I would be more than happy to agree.
  20. Hardly. It was a reference to the fact that the Left always has to scare people into voting for them. Somehow, if socialists aren't in power, the world is falling to pieces. Then, when they do get into power, they never solve any of those problems and merely bankrupt society. Nothing drive-by or smearing about it.
  21. Thanks Jim! I will never understand why the liberals here won't show us all how it's done by starting their own businesses.
