charter.rights Posted February 12, 2010 Report Posted February 12, 2010 He wasn't a fighter pilot. He flew challenger jets and airbuses. Save his stint as CO of Camp Mirage, he spent most of the past ten yrs as a student (Masters degree, French second language training) and a bureaucrat. The latest revelation.... Williams and Bernardo - the school girl killer - were buddies at the University of Toronto. I wonder if they both took Murder 101 together . That would really be something to link them to..... Col. Williams, Bernardo were 'pals' Quote “Safeguarding the rights of others is the most noble and beautiful end of a human being.” Kahlil Gibran “Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.” Albert Einstein

PIK Posted February 12, 2010 Report Posted February 12, 2010 (edited) The leftist media is really going out of it's way to discredit the forces with so much BS. Bernardo was his buddy, his father even called him on that and bernardo does not have a clue who he is. Not saying they did not cross paths, a lad that worked for me and is now running a major golf course in austalia , knew bernardo from accountant school and went out to the bars with him a few times, and said the guy was a babe magnet. So I better tell the police about this and check cold cases in austalia. Edited February 12, 2010 by PIK Quote Toronto, like a roach motel in the middle of a pretty living room.
M.Dancer Posted February 12, 2010 Report Posted February 12, 2010 Some info to ponder on.... My linkwww.theglobeandmail. During an interview with Canada's top soldier, General Walter Natynczyk, a national television reporter asked whether, given that he had placed Col. Williams in charge in Trenton, he had any words for the families of the victims. Midway through his compassionate response, the reporter asked, “Do you feel responsible?” The question's innuendo was barely camouflaged – do you feel responsible for the murders and the assaults? That question was the second “body blow” taken by Gen. Natynczyk in the past few days and was contemptible. To his credit, the Chief of the Defence Staff pointed out that he is responsible for more than 90,000 military personnel, regular and reserve. He avoided directly answering the question, which he should never have been asked. I saw that interview and MacKenzie echoes my thoughts exactly.

capricorn Posted February 12, 2010 Report Posted February 12, 2010 MacKenzie was interviewed by Mark Sutcliffe on CFRA this morning. He asked would the reporter have put that same question to the Governor General, that is, does she feel responsible? As MacKenzie pointed out she is, after all, Commander-in-Chief of the Canadian Forces. Somehow, I doubt the reporter would have done so. A podcast of that interview will soon be posted on the CFRA website. It's worth a listen. Quote "We always want the best man to win an election. Unfortunately, he never runs." Will Rogers
Smallc Posted February 12, 2010 Report Posted February 12, 2010 she is, after all, Commander-in-Chief of the Canadian Forces. Though in name only. I wonder if they'll ask the Queen if she feels responsible when she comes here later this year? Quote

Argus Posted February 12, 2010 Report Posted February 12, 2010 This seems an odd bit of quibbling. Until the accused is convicted, they are, before the eyes of the law, innocent. This makes "we know he's guilty" a bit paradoxical. One can "know" a man is guilty of a crime, for instance, if one sees the man doing it, but until he is convicted, in the eyes of judiciary, he is not guilty, and if for some reason your testimony is deemed unreliably, it's even possible that, despite your "knowing" his guilt, he will still be innocent in the legal sense, which, so far as society is concerned, is the only meaningful sense there is. Adolph Hilter, if he's alive, is innocent, then, right, because no official court of law has convicted him of any crimes?

I would say the reality of one's guilt or innocence is the most meaningful sense there is. Williams is right now either innocent or guilty, and a verdict either way is not going to change that. So it's not "quibbling" at all. It's a fact. It's not correct to say Williams is innocent; he is presumed innocent, and that's no more quibbling than getting on the media for saying "he murdered those people" vs. "he allegedly murdered those people."

dizzy Posted February 13, 2010 Report Posted February 13, 2010 Some info to ponder on.... My linkwww.theglobeandmail. I'm glad MacKenzie is still around. He's been a stable voice in the media for the military. My one complaint about his op piece was with respect to the reporter who asked the CDS about whether he feels responsible. It was a dumb question, poorly phrased, but it was just a question. The second “body blow” to be taken by Gen. Natynczyk in the past few days and contemptible? No. The CDS is a big boy who has to spend a lot of his waking life in front of the cameras. I'm sure he respects that the role of the media in a democratic society means sometimes crossing into grey areas, just as it does for the military. Quote

Natynczyk was to saying to the families. Quote

Uh oh, the only "real" conservative government scandal has nothing to do with the CPC. Their poll numbers are going to drop in record time. Quote
