Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

“Mr. Dion, Mr. Duceppe, Mr. Layton take note”
If you won’t support our troops in Afghanistan you might just as well be standing in front of the Aussie Diggers, as Taliban allies !!
When politicians reject liberty and freedom as worthy of fighting for, we waste our time and effort trying to reason with them. Dion and layton are political animals who have one primary goal, “power”.
In my view these individuals throw a pallor of shame over our country and our troops.
It’s time to cast the terms, “Taliban Jack” and “stefan Surrender” in stone and refer to them in no other way!
This is a really terrific piece.
I strongly believe that the conversatives support for the canadian mission in Afghanistan has nothing to do with Afghanistan but more about how the conversatives like to view themselve as tough people who think that military power is good. They like Rambo!!!
They are far more concerned about how the USA will view Canada than they are concerned about the people of Afghanistan.
The hard reality is : Afghanistan mission close to failing.

You cannot truly change a society from the outside by bombing or killing a few of them here and there.
I am all for helping the Afghans the right way. But this is not the way.
When politicians reject liberty and freedom as worthy of fighting for
When Harper and the Cons cease curtailing liberty and freedom here, they can then go to another country and fight for it there. Scratch a conservative, find a hypocrite.
And of course we all know the “mission” is all about sucking up to Washington.
At 11:55 Quebec separatist appeared. There was no reaction for 10 minutes so manny came aboard. Still no reaction.
Are we getting good at spotting trolls or what!!??
*conversatives*
hahahah
I truly suffer from keyboard dyslexia.
I am not a troll… I am just expressing my deep opinions.
Why can’t we send Layton over there to negotiate with the Taliban?
And we appreciate them for what they are, aqs. The delusions of somebody who thinks the Nation of Quebec would be anything other than an impoverished socialist backwater populated by bigoted, unemployed knobs.
The Afghanistan mission is close to failing, say surrender monkeys…so obviously, the only choice is to run away like frightened little girls, eh?
“The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at best, knows the triumph of high achievement; and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.” – Theodore Roosevelt
“Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.” – Robert Francis Kennedy
“The probability that we may fail in the struggle ought not to deter us from the support of a cause we believe to be just.” – Abraham Lincoln
“Never give in–never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.” – Sir Winston Churchill
Ok, I will bite. So Jackass, you say the following:

Lets, get on with your “right way” what is it?
Hand holding? and a poky stick? Try looking at this link.

I will await your clear response.
Yes, they are trolls..as well as deluded, comfortable middle class Canadians who would not know what reality looks like till it explodes its bomb in their face..
Take the Burkhas off lads!..i hear the air is fresh and clear outside, does wonders for ones constitution!!!..
Oh, BTW Manny, Harpers goon squads have your IP address and are coming to take you away to the large concentration camp for asshats on Baffin Island…don’t say you weren’t warned..
This video shows the way you win a war. First by winning the hearts and minds of the population, while at the same time eliminating the threat. Just like the Aussies here are doing.
Stephane Dion’s alternative method would be to re-equip our troops with blue berets and white flags. As for Jackass Layton, I didn’t notice him in the clip rushing forward to negotiate with the Taliban that were spraying the MG and RPG rounds. These two are the best the leftbots have to offer us? God help us, and God bless our troops.
If Dion and Layton actually took the time to read some Canadian history maybe they’d develop some stones!
To win this mission is a concerted effort by ALL involved. This includes being worthy allies and not getting into the thick of things. The Canadians, Aussies, Brits, & Yanks were the tip of the spear in in WW1, WW2, and Korea. These other nations there need to learn from them.
Layton is a coward and Dion is a spinless confused hypocript.
Typo: I meant “This includes being worthy allies and getting into the thick of things.”
The term “support our troops” seems to spin of into various conetations. On the surface I think most any true Canadian would see that as the patriotic thing to do, “support or troops” in time of peace, emergency response both domestic and abroad, as protectors of our territorial sovereignty and in time of war also both domestic and abroad. The fact that Canada is part of various alliances, for the global good, means we pull our weight when required. I am gratefull that we have troops that are second to none. The point being though is that the troops do not in themselve create policy, that’s government. It seems to me that we can support the troops as well as not approving of the mission and as such that statement is double sided. For me to see and hears our boys and girls reflect on their observations, as to helping and making a difference there, satifies me that this mission is worthy of our efforts.
Thanks to Drudge one very brave young man (Prince Harry) will no longer be calling down air strikes on Taliban positions. If just one of those Taliban that now gets away kills an Afghan villager, a NATO soldier – or an AMERICAN soldier – Drudge will deserve a Taliban medal.
Having outed Prince Harry’s operational status and location, how long will it be before Drudge publishes the same details about any sons and daughters of US Politicians serving in the military… Not going to happen? Didn’t think so… That would be unpatriotic, as well as being plain bloody stupid.
Loose lips sink ships.
When I want to know how to surrender, I will ask the French.
When I want to know how to win I will not. Please go back to your panhandling.

Drudge was only reporting what was already revealed by the Australian media.
Address your concerns there.
Here’s how it’s being reported in the UK.

I hope he got an IED-maker, would-be suicide bomber or two before he was pulled. He’s one very brave young man and those of us who are British and have military family backgrounds are very, very proud of him.

The more I read the comments of the leftovers the more I favor euthanasia of the mentally retarded. Generation after generation can’t learn from their mistakes and the mistakes of their parents, GET STERLIZED. I wonder how many paleontologists lay awake a night?
“If Dion and Layton actually took the time to read some Canadian history maybe they’d develop some stones!”
I suspect that Layton’s reading is mostly Marxist. I also suspect that Dion has little interest in Canadian history, but is fully conversant with the history of France.
Both Layton and citoyen Dion are beneath contempt!!
