Do the words barrios, ghetto and the projects ring a bell? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yep/ Reminds me of Canada. EVen ignoring the cities, just drive through an Indian reserve sometimes. You'll have a better understanding then. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Kinda like how African Americans in the deep south are treated. And oh, U.S. also has Indian reservations.

Seems to me Expedia is an American company. Would it surprise anyone that they would place their own high on the list of their own survey?

Don't be playing party politics. It was Mulroney's group who instituted the age of consent in case you forgot. And the bill Casson introduced would have 14 year olds with a criminal record for necking.

There is a new movie coming out with Albert Brooks where Sony was pressured to take the word "Muslim" out of the title Looking for Comedy in the Muslim World. It's a comedy for God's sake and has absolutely nothing to do with politics or mocking their religion. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/film/4292976.stm

I guess I should not surprised, being an American joining a Canadian forum, that this sort of ignorance exists up North. There are others who do show sense. Clearly you must feel that the French solution to Islamo-fascism is the way to go. Start gearing up for your riots. Bush chooses to let liberty and freedom expose the lie of fascist Islam as opposed to bombing the Middle East into submission. Read and learn: www.logictimes.com/bushplan.htm <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No thanks. Any site that claims Ann Coulter is a brilliant thinker is not worthy of my attention.

Not all of us shoop.

Scarier still is wondering which country Bush will invade next.

Imagine that. A covert agency saying it never breaks the law.

[quote name=crazymf' date='Nov 4 2005, 07:00 PM Come clean on how long each poster here has been married and we'll talk. I'll actually listen to anybody married over 15 years, otherwise you should be listening and not talking. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 27 years here crazy. First and only wife I'll have. It sounds kinda hackneyed but communication is the key.

I think the effectiveness of the CIA was undone long before "slam dunk" Tenant came on board. Much of the strife in the world has been caused by this agency, from Central and South America to Iran and Indonesia, in addition to importing crack cocaine. Their total screw-up over Iraq intelligence proved finally that they are a completely useless component of the U.S. govenment. These "black sites" are in keeping with their dangerous philosophy.

Well, in all seriousness, how does one deal with this problem and still remain impartial and fair to the rest of the provinces/country?

The anti-Harper innuendo starts already... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I don't know how you figure that's innuendo. It would be a fact that the Conservatives would require Bloc support with a minority, as the ND's and Liberals would unlikely support Harper. I just find it ironic, given the talk in Alberta about separation.

These numbers do look good for Harper. My take on this is if Harper gets his minority, then he has to appease the Bloc to get anything passed. Sleeping with the separatists: Albertans will love that.

You make it sound like these folks (Moore, Striesand, Chomsky) are the "leading lights" of the left. Two out of the four listed are entertainers, and one's an aged linguist. Nader is just eccentric. Hypocrisy runs rampant on both sides (look no further than our former Liberal government). In Moore's defense, I probably have stock in Halliburton and don't know it. My broker handles my portfolio and I have little interest in knowing what investments I currently have. It will be interesting though to see how Mr. Moore will get out of this one.

Adam, just to be fair, the above is an opinion, not a fact.

I didn't say the Conservative didn't have policies. But you have to admit Harper's public appearances re the media pretty much show him whining about Liberals (my "false grounds"??). I have yet to hear a commercial or see anything in the media as of late where Harper talks about his great and wonderful programs.

Totally agree with that. Why isn't Novak being investigated? That was a reprehensible action on his part and it endangered the lives of many covert agents.

Uhhh, Gomery went out of his way to be easy on Martin. So yes, they could be in much, much more trouble. Ploy? Tactic? Manouever? Call it what you will, but isn't the job of Official Leader of the Opposition to present an alternative to the Government? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I had a chance to watch a great deal of the Gomery commission and read the accompanying text. I'm not sure I would say that the Justice went out of his way to exonerate Martin. The proof for that is not there. I also think that Harper is going to milk the report for all it's worth. If he loses the election this time, a leadership review will probably be in order. As far as presenting an alternative, all I have heard out of Harper is accusation and anger from day one.

Thank God for opinions! My take on all this mess is much in line with FTA lawyer. I thought that Martin could have gone a little further than he did in parliament yesterday re apologizing on behalf of the party. He was, as just about eveyone has pointed out, the Finance Minister at the time. If he didn't know what was going on, he should have. The unmonitored scandalship program was fostered under Chretien, and allowed to flourish with corruption by a relatively small number of people. Some of the accused were close to Chretien, but the vast majority of Liberal MPs do not deserve to be linked with this scandal. The problem, IMV, wasn't the sponorship program; the lack of safeguards and direction was the problem.

BHS, please read the following from the link you provided: Rosa Lee Parks (February 4, 1913 – October 24, 2005) was an African American seamstress who the United States Congress called the Mother Of The Modern Day Civil Rights Movement Duh?

Nice troll attempt.

My point was, I could write the same thing about any party and stupid people would take it as fact, when really it is trash, written by some lacky, with nothing better to do. It is worse than Canada's mainstream media. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You really make this article's argument with your comments. And I'd like to read your treatise on a left wing political party that is as comprehensive and intelligent as the article cgarrett presented.
