[Leafless]

"I think that what is being done to Omar Khadr right now rest squarely on the shoulders of Prime Minister Harper," Kuebler said.

This is to funny.

Khadr's lawyers it seems could be al-Qaida or Taliban sympathizers or worse still, could be directly linked to these groups.

Maybe they should start their own anti-Canadian political party.

Not a very flattering article for Harper or Canada.

You can make outrageous statements, but Khadr is our problem and will be our problem when the US shuts down the Prison camp in Cuba.

There is nothing "funny" about this.

In addition to that, the guy was 15 years old when the alleged crime occured. One can't credibly fuss about abstract child soldiers somewhere in Africa, and pretend case doesn't exist closer to home. That's a hallmark of Harpers' politics though, nobody should be surprised anymore.

Harper's politics have nothing to do with the evil foreign ideologies of terrorist organizations in Canada.

Nor is Canada a part of the U.S. and their political ideologies.

Both are members of the UN though aren't they, and being so they agree and comply with its' various conventions.

Most of those prisoners that were put in prison was done by the US offering rewards for terrorists to be turn in. The people needed money for food so they were turning in anyone and the evidence that he killed a US soldier and the person that supposely saw this is NOT true. So what is this 15 year gulity of??? Bush needs someone to point to and have something to put in his library as the job he did rounding up the terrorists. Harper blames the Libs for knowing about the torture of this boy and doing nothing, I would like to hear them explain that, but as the same time, what is Harper going to do for this Canadian citizen? Better question is why isn't he helping him?

Harper's politics have ....

to represent Canada on the world stage.

[Fortunata]

to represent Canada on the world stage.

Well his politics don't represent me, and I daresay, two-thirds of the population. He represents the herd which will probably gain him another minority term in office.

He does in fact rep you and everyone else in this country when he is out on the world stage. Whether you voted for him or not is moot.

He does, as prime minister - his politics don't. Last I heard it was a free country to agree or disagree with a political stance.

No, actually he doesn't. He's a politician; that means he only represents a particular faction of the Canadian population. He may represent the government, but he certainly does not stand as a symbol of all Canadians.

Um, he's the Prime Minister. When he signs onto an international agreement, you sign on to it don't you? Or are you saying when Chretien signed onto Kyoto, he didn't commit you as a taxpayer to buck up if targets weren't reached?

Treaties and tax amounts are not given authority by the Prime Minister's signature. He's just a minister, not the head of state.

How one can take up arms against his own country then blame the government for not protecting him as a Canadian citizen is beyond reason.

He is not going to remain in the US. The next President is going to make certain of this.

Howzabout we bring him back and he lives with you then?

[Argus]

Well his politics don't represent me,

Maybe we could lure Castro north to represent you and your buddies. He's not working, at present.

Of course... Castro would have simlply shot him out of hand.

No, Castro is no hero of mine. But to you and your buddies, anyone who doesn't worship Harper must worship someone like Castro right?

I like to not be part of any herd.

Then I gather you don't vote?

[Fortunata]

Then I gather you don't vote?

I do vote but I won't vote for one party only because they aren't the "other" party. I won't waste my vote because the CPC label themselves Conservative but don't act like it esp. fiscally. Conversely I won't waste my vote on Liberals because they claim "liberalness". There is no one party that I agree with all their policies so it is a matter of going through and finding one that is closest to my beliefs. From what I see on here and out in the big world voters get hooked on labels (i.e. parties) and then put blinders on so they can't objectively look at all the good ideas of all parties and don't see all the bad in their own party of choice.
