Just as long as your support for Chairman Mao.

Why are you continuing to engage me in debate?

I have told you time and time again I will not debate with you.

Yes actually this famine thing was caused by a misinformation about protecting crops.

It was widely beieved at one time that many different species of birds fead on rice.This is partially true.

There was a huge campaign to kill off the birds.

This caused the insects that the birds also fead on to rapidly populate unchecked on in turn the insects wiped out the rice crops causing a massive famine.

Chairman Mao was not aware that this would be the outcome!

Aswell the same beliefs occured here with somewhat similar results.

The only difference is that it is covered up here.

How many salmon out there?

I heard you got skunked in a derby.

Ever hear the stories from the old timers about how many fish there used to be?

Ever heard of the great buffalo hunt of the late 1800's?

WWWTT

I certainly did get skunked in the derby…….And if you want to call it declining Salmon stocks I’m fine with that……..It sounds a lot better than getting my butt handed to me by brother in law, son, nephew, daughter and 80 year old father :P

Oh heres a good one.

After that pipeline was delayed in the US,Canada is now saying that we will be seeking to open trade with China for our oil.

I wonder how much longer our support for Isreal will last.

I wonder if Isreal buys much of Canadas oil?

Didn't you hear the news, TransCanada is going to shift the Keystone XL to address environmental concerns...

Then why was the premier of Alberta in Washington today telling the US they were going to seek Chinese business?

Hey I'm not saying that Mao was a nice guy.

What I m saying is that you should be carefull in what believe!

And similar environmental disasters have occured here because of ignorance of our eco systems.

Do you want to go over the kill death ratios of communist troops vs. Western forces? China just isn't as good at foreign intervention as the western world, and that's why we have south Korea and thank goodness for that.

:rolleyes: yup, absolutely no clue...

You’re preaching to the choir on the Environment……….The entire fam-dam-ly are members of the BC wildlife federation and we actively put our wallet were our mouths are every year………

If Iran attacked Israel and/or the West, there would be an immediate response……..Shock & awe redux………And sure, you could call it restraint if you wish…..but as I’ve said, if they wanted to show the ultimate restraint, they’d stop funding Hezbollah and cease their nuclear program…….I know if I were in the Iranian leadership, I’d take those demands to lengthen my lifespan.

By saying this you do realise that if Mossad's involvement happens to be true and they did attack that would be an act of provocation. Right?

Perhaps if you assure Iranians that it's not about drying them out of oil everytime the sh-t hits the fan and we have economic problems here and play the war drums "bombing the country to stoneage", when human rights card is played to justify your action you may be able to convince them that you are genuinely interested in them and treat them the same as other citizens of the world. But when you have policies that even interferes with internal policies of the country (such as removal of Mossadegh in 1953) then you will have a togh time understanding why things don't go so rationally. I am not condoning the actions of Hezbollah but am merely saying that surely these things should start with some good old housekeeping.

if you dont think israel has made plans you should shake your head

We were discussing Canada. (Our lack of "real democracy". How will the government justify war to Canadians? Remember?) So, provide the evidence, please, that the present government has plans to engage in war with Iran and, more importantly, that those plans are about to be carried out.

Ah, so your hyperventilation about the Conservatives being on the verge of dragging us "undemocratically" to war with Iran was all based on... Crap you dreamt up. Just as I thought.

Don't think for a second that Canada would not be involved in a war with Iran. Because a war with Iran means a real war, and the potential for a global war.

Be kind, crap is a major part of some peoples belief system.

Not entirely so.

Peter McKay did come out and say that Canada supports Isreal and the PM has done so on a number of occasions.

And so have other conservatives.

This does imply that any further actions taken by Isreal would be backed by Canada.

Aswell Canada was part of Afganistan and Libya(military actions) and it is pretty much accepted that if there was a conservative government in place(majority) in 2003 then Canada would have sent troops into Iraq aswell.

No I do not believe that this is something dreamt up.

It would be very safe to assume that if Isreal does initiate something and the US somehow helps,Canada will be asked to help aswell.

Question is if Canada will?

Maybe with the US now making it hader for Canada to do business in the US it is possible that Canada may retaliate and tell the US no thanks.

I know if Harper does continuing to help while losing trade with the US it will become an election issue!

There goes the speculation all over the place again.

It's almost like the chorus of Harper-haters are the ones chomping at the bit for war, just so they can have the self satisfaction of saying "I told you so!"

Yes and yes. But to go on as though war between Canada and Iran is right around the corner is ludicrous. There isn't even a definite sign Israel is going to make any kind of attack on Iranian nuclear facilities. They might, they might not. War might follow that, it might not. Does the current government support Israel to the point of participating alongside in the country's wars? If yes, what does that participation entail, exactly?

Too many unknowns to start lamenting Canada's march into conflict.

If someone opts to take out the nuclear development bases in Iran there won't be an Iran to go to war with. I'll be happy about that.
