Remember,it WASN'T Harper that sent Canadian soldiers there in the first place,so perhaps you can direct some of your anger to that other guy....the guy leading the Liberals at the time.What's-his-name?

I doubt that you have ever even set foot on U.S. soil for you clearly know little about them.Out of curiousity,what are the countries that you truly admire?Is Venezuela on your list?

It's truly disgusting what this woman has been going through since she came into the spotlight.Journalism is just about dead it seems.It would be one thing if her opposition faced equal scrutiny and attacks from the media as she has faced,but the opposition got a pass.It's getting close to a year of this ordeal by fire for Sarah Palin and her FAMILY!After so many accusations and vicious personal attacks,where is the substance?Has anyone come up with something concrete yet,besides a DUI conviction from 20 odd years ago of hubby?Why have the feminist groups been silent?She deserves a fair chance,nothing more,nothing less. How does the gaffe prone Joe Biden get off so easy?

Are you one of those who choose to celebrate Adolf Hitler's birthday?

WHY DOES MANITOBA RECIEVE TRANSFER PAYMENTS?ANYONE?...

As I have written before,it's easier to balance the books for provinces that recieve transfer payments from provinces like say....Alberta.What part of this do you not understand?

Nobody,but nobody,can compare to the master of sleaze,LIBERAL Warren Kinsella.Remember him?No doubt you are a huge fan of his.

If you know anything about law and order in Canada,you must be aware that judges(most very left wing)are more often than not inclined to give the most lenient sentence possible under the law.....regardless of the crime.

Can you show us some peace oriented Palestinian groups or websites?

You already have that leader.You know,the guy that is a dead ringer for Lenin,Jack Layton.

Ever see the tv attack ad that left the viewer looking into the barrel of a gun?Care to guess which party was responsible for that ad?

We couldn't ask for better neighbors,party hard guys!!

With the exception of George W.Bush,has there ever been another U.S. politician that has been under such scrutiny or endured so many vicious,unsubstanciated attacks from the decidedly liberal media as much as Sarah Palin?What is it about her that so angers/terrifies the left?

Why is it so unusual for her to leave before her time as governor was up?If she wants more time to prepare for what lies ahead than more power to her.I seem to recall a person that became a Senator then promptly started to campaign for the Presidency.He devoted most of his time to furthering his career and not his constituents.Was it ethical for him and others like him to still collect a paycheck for not doing his job? By the way,things worked out for this guy,he ended up in the White House.

2009-2010 Quebec and Manitoba will receive the most from equalization payments in the 2009-2010 year.[3] In the 2009-2010 year, the following provinces will receive equalization payments: [4] Quebec Manitoba New Brunswick Nova Scotia Ontario Prince Edward Island [edit] Equalization payments in Canada – 2007-08 ($ millions) NL PE NS NB QC MB SK BC Total Equalization 477 294 1,465 1,477 7,160 1,826 226 - 12,925 Per capita $938 $2,118 $1,564 $1,968 $931 $1,543 $230 $0 It may be a little easier to balance the books for the have-not provinces.Gosh,do you see Manitoba in there?

So do you want the NDP as the federal government too?I never paid too much attention to the NDP until they came to power in Ontario.I don't think there is a single person that lived through that era that would not admit that Bob Rae(now LIBERAL!) and his merry band of Socialists were a complete and utter disaster.They managed to piss off everyone,right to left,no easy task.NDP?Thank you but no.

I think they found out that she is..........competant and honest!She is clearly much more intelligent than the liberal media makes her out to be.From the left wing perspective,this is unforgivable.

And how does Obama's level of experience stack up against Palin's?Why does charisma trump real experience in your world?

It's possible that racism in this case is a red herring.It's a sad fact of life that qualifications for a job are not the sole criteria for hiring or not hiring the person in question.Whether we admit it or not,who you know trumps actual qualifications for these plum jobs.Friends and relatives often have the inside track for the best jobs and this is true for much of the job market.I hate it,but it's a fact of life.I recall a guy I know who was pretty worthless(lazy,missed time,police record etc)as an employee but he spoke french and his neighbor who was with Public Works Canada gave him a copy of the french exam and boom,he is a public servant.Where does merit fit in?

Can you be more specific?What exactly made the test discriminatory?

Fact is,public servants are very well paid considering the actual amount of work they do.Why should they be immune from the pain those of us in the private sector are feeling?PSAC and all of the other numerous gov't unions need a reality check.We in the private sector pretty much carry the load of our massive,bloated gov't.I always remember my fathers first day in plant engineering at NRC.He told me they were supposed to start at 8am.When 10am came around,he asked "shouldn't we have started some time ago?",another piped up,"hey,what's your hurry?" Ahhh,the gov't work ethic.Did I mention it's also very easy to steal from the gov't?I say cut away...

On the other side,are there a lot of Palestinian organizations that openly oppose violence against Israelis?Is there a single one?Is it possible for any Palestinian to want peace without violence and not face death from his/her own people?

I think you just blasted that one out of the park!

Can you explain exactly what is racist in the statement by jbq?And by the way,there have not been "multiple senseless attacks" by Israel against the Palestinians,you have it backwards.

I shudder to think what Alberta might be like now if the Liberals or NDP had been in power for the last 40 years or so.Without question,they would be in much worse shape.
