  1. yet there is an Indian source saying the PM version isn't true...so maybe it's the Indians not wanting to put harper in an awkward position....
  2. fantasy...there will be no world wars over Iranian nuclear technology...
  3. it's a non-event...if americans flew drones into Iranian airspace Iran can shoot them down and the US has nothing to complain about, it's not even an escalation of tension....no wars are going to be started over shooting down spy planes, ain't gonna happen...
  4. I don't think the value of the vehicles is the issue, it's the cost of transport and were they needed at all if India offered acceptable replacements...bev oda's career ended due to OJ and limo rides most canadians were not pleased with her excess...how much does it cost to transport two vehicles to india (Oda's excesses come nowhere near this expense) and were they needed at all, these are questions we have a right to ask...if the Indians are lying about their offer of secure transport let's hear that evidence... if the RCMP can show the Indian vehicles were substandard let's see that too...if the those questions are answered satisfactorily then the issue can be dismissed ...
  5. this is the oppositions job, question everything, doubt everything, scrutinize everything...this is what should be done at all times and even more so when we have a government that like no other before seeks to control/limit every source of information... question the RCMP...well ya, they have proven very capable of lying in the past to cover their misdeeds, they don't get a free pass...
  6. hey I remember canada from those days i still recall being at a Bar-b-que with dief the chief...and what I recall clearly from those days is I'm glad they're far behind us, cultural/racial/ethnic/sexual intolerance oh ya it was fun times
  7. wildrose ...tea party, rob anders, fruitcakes...lot's of them....I never thought there would come a day that I would miss the old PC party but that day has arrived...
  8. ...missing the point entirely aren't you....why are we paying to ship cars to India when the Indian government has cars for such occasions...But an Indian bureaucrat with the Ministry of External Affairs told The Canadian Press on condition of anonymity that Harper had been offered an armoured Mercedes for his entire visit -- with the exception of a stop in Bangalore where it was the state government taking care of his car.

  9. Pakistan? mmm...how does that work when he is in India...
  10. Danielle Crittenden married to david frum
  11. yup you're guessing...I personally know three families that have purchased houses in the US none of them live there, all the homes were long term investments and are used as holiday homes...anecdotal but there's no guessing involved...
  12. and never touch your face with your hands...you do get fewer colds as you age apparently or when you do get one they tend not to be as severe...I think it has to do with immunity you've caught most of the cold viruses and variants of them in your youth
  13. seems to me it's a no-brainer.... slash military spending, raise taxes, pay the bills....
  14. an Indian version of events was they offered armored Mercedes for all of Harpers excursions, a PM spokesman denied this ...someone's not telling the truth...
  15. how does a pollster make that kind of error?...
  16. ya, we're all dependent on each others markets in both buying and selling...one hurts, we all hurt...
  17. in canada?I haven't met many adults that haven't...we're a nation of druggies ... I haven't done so regularly in 30 yrs...other than that wee bit in amsterdam a couple years back...
  18. OECD rates canada as the most educated country in the world per capita with 51% of the population having a tertiary education, Israel 2nd at 46%, japan 3rd with 45% and USA 4th at 42%...wooo hooo we rock!...
  19. now there's an interesting conundrum...is this the sort of thing that ends up in the supreme court?...are there going to be mj amnesties given out in wash. and col. ?
  20. ya... I read an article the other day by a MD saying it's true healthcare costs are going up( they are, as everything does) but increases are not keeping up with population growth...
  21. opinions aren't based on facts which sums up Fletch's stance on just about everything...
  22. well that backs my point that parties play with polls to scare/manipulate voters even when they know the polls are wrong...
  23. I'm sure the republicans were following him closely this time but admitting to it would suicidal their supporters wouldn't bother coming out to vote if they thought the election was lost, they need to keep up the impression/illusion they can win with polls that back them...
  24. we amateurs can be forgiven for doubting ourselves when the "experts" are saying Obama won't reach 300 or may even lose...I just did a simple count of states Obama was expected to win and was likely to win and kept coming up with 300+...one "expert" ( I can't recall who)claimed somewhere around 330 but he was obviously insane or an idiot ...
