  1. Are you sure people are that free anymore in the USA??? I would wager that there are many more Mexicans still sneaking into the USA to work illegally. Cubans are even poorer than the Mexicans ever were, So some people think the grass is greener on the other side. I have friends that have gone to visit in Cuba several times; the people are happy and friendly. Cuba is much better off than they were under the USA backed Batista government. Cuba is not invading any other countries.
  2. most of it is nonsense. excuses for those who like to do the crime but not the time. However, I would like to see those in prison to get more rehabilitation; not just punishment. I think they should be required to work and pay for the costs of keeping them away from innocent victims. It would teach them a trade to use when they are free.
  3. That information did come from a neurosurgeon.
  4. That is the problem; it is not straightforward. There are different opinions by different doctors. She has been fed jello successfully. Why will they not let the family give her water or jello???
  5. Mulroney; conservative. Harper lied about not wanting Canada to go with the USA on the invasion of Iraq. geesh. Seems like those without a logical argument tend to call others pinkos, lefties etc. How intelligent.
  6. Well, RB does seem to really think that women are being discriminated against beyond common sense. She ignores valid reasons for pricing differences. When she gets into pricing of food being discriminatory against women; she starts losing it. Women do have a voice and the same rights as men. There are many establishments that do charge the same price for men and women's hair; most women do not go there as they do not like the type of service. This can be true of men, too. My son likes to be pampered when it comes to his hair; shampoo and head massage and pays 75 dollars for a hair cut.
  7. That's not the information that I have heard. The pictures show that there is still a fair portion of grey matter left. These people on the show were declared to be in the same vegetative state; they are now doing very well; walking and talking and living a normal life. One had the feeding tube inserted without anaesthetic as they claimed she could feel no pain; she knew what was happening and felt it; she just couldn't communicate in any way. Starving to death could be very painful. I believe that it should be a family decision; not just one individual; and blood speaks louder than water. I believe her husband did the right thing in going on with his life but in doing so; the parents should have a right to be equal rights in any decision affecting their daughter.\ There are many questions that I still have. The timing between when Michael decided to allow her to die and when he found his new lady. Has anyone in the family tried to help Terri with physical therapy, etc. Has anyone tried to get her to eat on her own. What has been done to stimulate her. It seems that she has been not given much stimulation (no tv or radio; have they played music for her?)
  8. NO, where did you get that idea????? Variety is the spice of life. Canada is not the only country with more than one official language; a variety of cultures, and religion. Heaven help that we share one media. Fortunately, we enjoy not only our own heavily monopolized media (Can West) but can seek information from around the world from various media sources.
  9. That is one million three hundred reasons for letting her die and save these settlements for himself. She is only on a feeding tube; not on any elaborate expensive ventilators.
  10. Unfortunately, that is NOT clear. There was a lawsuit against a diet pill manufacture; who is paying Terri's bills??? Has he already hired an agent to sell his story. Seems to be the thing to do down in the USA. Husbands and wives come and go; there is only one mother who delivered that child and one father. I wonder if this is now a fight of wills between the two sides. There have been too many people who have been declared brain dead who have revived and are leading normal lives. Two on Larry King tonight.
  11. These soldiers are told to shoot to kill and have killed many innocent civillians at roadblocks. Others have been instructed to torture prisoners; then some are prosecuted for this same torture (scapegoats to take the pressure off their government) These persons joined their military under the belief that their orders would be coming from a civilized nation following international laws. They have been severely disappointed. They have a right to fight for their own lives and mental and physical health.
  12. Canada will welcome these conscientious objectors to enter Canada; just like we did during Vietnam. These are not persons who are trying to avoid service in defense of their country; they are being sent to die or be maimed on foreign soil for reasons they do not agree with. Welcome American soldiers who do not wish to die for American aggression and illegal invasions. The Bush administration are the criminals with their illegal invasions. The Americans who came to Canada to avoid being sent to Vietnams; have generally become very productive Canadian citizens. Unfortunately, man American soldiers who served in Vietnam returned to the USA with drug problems and mental problems. Remember Timothy McVeigh, who came back from the first Gulf War with an agenda of hate and revenge against his own country.
  13. Monty: remember this sarcastic remark over a misspelling: Yeah, right; I am sure it was Clarke's decision all alone. The error was yours; not mine. The lack of credibility is yours as it was on CBC forum.
  14. She really isn't being kept alive by extraordinary means; all she has is a feeding tube. True, the Bush intervantion is strictly politics. It is too bad that the husband and parents couldn't come to an agreement; I think it is now a fight of wills; Terri is just a point of contention. Just my opinion as neither side shows much real emotion.
  15. Warped outlook. I imagine they were rightfully protesting the illegal invasion of a disarmed country and the thousands of lives lost and many more maimed on bogus information. The Iraqis are NOT free; they are still occupied and will be governed by a USA controlled government. The infrastructures still damages; precious museum pieces lost forever; services such as hospitals and schools badly crippled; unemployment rampant and people dying at the hands of nervous American soldiers everyday. Others tortured by those same USA soldiers. Support for this illegal invasion is disgusting and anyone who tries to pretend that it was to "free the Iraqi" people is ignoring facts.
  16. Yes, you sure do. I believe he is the same one who got the cbc forum shut down for his trolling. When he get kicked out; he just returns with a different name
  17. Oh by the way; Osama bin laden did support Bush. try search: Osama bin laden supports Bush
  18. Remember Monty; Osama bin laden and the Bush family are friends. Bush allowed planes to fly the bin Ladens out of the USA while refusing to let Americans land after the WTC attacks. PS You are now fair game for spelling/typing errors.
  19. What defense umbrella?????? This arrogant aggressive American government which ignores International law and acts like a school yard bully is endangering us; not defending us. It is American actions that is bringing danger of terrorist attacks to North America.
  20. If there is any truth in this; sick American wannabee residents of Canada. They should be ashamed of themselves. Disgusting.
  21. That is the opinion of many experts prior to the USA invasion of Iraq. Now the country is awash in terrorists. You don't have to watch CBC for that information; just open your ears and listen.
  22. I don't agree with this at all. I am a BCer; we sure don't vote for the devil we know. We always say they can't be worse (But they usually are) Last election (federal); While we didn't know much about either as leaders; we did know there stand on aligning Canada with Bush; we figured we had a better chance staying Canadian with Martin. I didn't and don't care for wither of them but sure didn't want to go where Harper would have lead us.
  23. And just what does the USA have to snicker about. If I were a USA citizen with a president like Bush I would hang my head in shame and embarrassment. Cuba is not attacking other countries; Tell your USA government to leave Cuban soil; they are not welcome there.
  24. Just where did you get that little tidbit of information. To work for the federal government most position require one to be bilingual.
  25. Not as much as Bush and co rage against Cuba; what should he do; thank them. geesh Tell the USA to Yankee go home; get out of Cuba
