betsy Posted January 28, 2006 Report Posted January 28, 2006 I watched Harper's press conference and he called the journalists attention about the reported statement made by the US Ambassador. Harper said regarding the arctic: The US will protect their sovereignty, and Canada will protect its own sovereignty. Some journalists are terming that as a "barbed" message towards the US? I don't see it that way. Do you? Quote

I don't see it that way. Do you? No, But the left wants us to...they want us to think Harper is being anti-American now... Jason Kenney said it best...he said, when you talk to your friends, sometimes you've got to show some tough love. I think he's right...

Canuck E Stan Posted January 28, 2006 Report Posted January 28, 2006 I just have to wonder why these "journalists" didn't ask the question in the first place. They seem to ask a lot of other questions of less importance. They made a point of asking Martin the questions when the US made comments during the election campaign. From what is being written, the media is on to the next election before Harper is even sworn in yet.

A journalist at Mike Duffy said that actually when the Ambassador spoke, it was just something that casually came out....that the journalists did not even think anything of it. Quote

Canuck E Stan Posted January 28, 2006 Report Posted January 28, 2006 WWF is World Wildlife Federation, the Wraslers are the World Wrestling Entertainment. World Wildlife Federation sued them a few years back and the wraslers had to change to WWE. One has to stay on top of this stuff.

Who's got the room? And try claiming the Harper child care benefit even if Tigger is under 6 and eating you out of house and home! Quote

fellowtraveller Posted January 29, 2006 Report Posted January 29, 2006 Contrived? Perhaps, but it was at least a direct response to actual comments made by Wilkins. Martin used to just lash out without provocation about the Yanks whenever the polls dipped .05%. Quote The government should do something.

You seriously need to grow a brain cell. Nobody is making Harper as anti-american. The press, left and right alike, are reporting on what he said. I didn't read a single paper calling him anti-American,. No posts either, aparrt from the delusional rantings of TML that is. The issue of Canadian sovereignty over ther Arctic is not a partisan issue TML. Get a clue. Quote

Its going to be an uphill battle for Harper now, he'll be damned if he does and damned if he doesn't. We do need to vigorously defend our territory, after all what is ours is ours and we should be vigilant and target intruders lest someone should sail right in and claim Hudson's Bay as their own, I mean, you never know about these things do you. As a matter of realpolitik, should we seek a deal with the USA such that they recognise our sovereignty in the area in exchange for a perpetual freedom of the NW passage for US shipping?

tml12 Posted January 29, 2006 Report Posted January 29, 2006 Boru, When did I say that Harper was being anti-American? But you're wrong, Boru, to conclude the arctic water issue is not partisan. If we arm up the arctic with ice-breakers it will, to an extent, cause international controversey. Quote "Those who stand for nothing fall for anything." -Alexander Hamilton

Until then, why bother? You just continue to waste my time. A common theme among your posts. Quote
