That's because the NDP are a branch of Hamas, aren't they.

They seem to have a lot of the same ideas.

Watching our new government in action is becoming very interesting. Do you get the feeling that you are watching a master at chess, manoevering their opposition into an untenable position prior to "checkmate"? We don't have to have "boots on the ground" to fight this war, the left will take the length of rope handed to it and hang themmselves. Heh, heh.

definitely calculated . no more PMPM running off at the mouth with slobber and hysterical eyes.

Ich ein Pure Laine !!! or drivel after dither.

There you have it folks, the NDP supports funding terrorists

What a bunch of idiots. Seriously, how do people vote for this party?

Bravo PM Harper

Jack Laydown is having a bad week . . first Buzz & the kiddies at CAW break up after years of heavy petting but never real sex and now PMSH backs his moralistic ass into a corner where he will have to twist & squirm over supporting Terrorists who teach their kiddies to blow up school buses and wedding receptions.

Have a nice life Jack. It's tough being a self deluding idiot but I know you have the talent for it.

It will be interesting to see if the wealthy Arab tates put their money where theirs mouths are and replace the financial support provided, up to now, by western democracies.

HANOI jack

jack layton serves a purpose . as long as he takes votes away from the liberals i can overlook most of what he says. fortunately i don't think he'll ever become more than a third party opposition leader. it is hard to listen to him talking tho . on the other hand i don't think prime minister harper takes 3 steps or says 2 words without thinking of the results or consequenses of his actions. now if peter mckay would start using crib notes .....

Oh please. Robinson doesn't even consider a vote for Harper innocent, let alone a vote for Ariel Sharon.

Watch for CBC to have a complete sh*tfit over this tonight, they won't be able to help themselves!

I hope Jack keeps yapping, should make for some great video footage during the next election.

Excellent decision Foreign Affairs Minister Peter MacKay and Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Finally, some adults in charge.

I am so happy to have a "common sense" government in power. What a delight! Actually standing for something... whodathunkit in Canada.

You said it Lanny...I'm proud of the leadership that Peter McKay and Stephen Harper are showing. As for Svend, he can just keep talking and digging a bigger hole.

According to the TorStar in the link, the Americans are following us in cutting aid to the Palestinian Authority. Sweet.

I cannot say simply that our Prime Minister is one strong intelligent man.Sounds like an understatement. It will take all of us awhile to get used to this. Why am I so excited when he makes these intelligent moves? I guess it just feel great to have world class prime minister in charge. It feels different, it feels great!

Where are my Jack-boots?

Bernie invokes Godwin's law, because Canada is not going to fund terrorists. Can you make the connection?

Bernie, they are next to your diaper and soother. Move to France and learn to raise your arms in surrender you puss! What a Wanker

"Jack-boots". Actually Bernie may have a good point. Sending money to a Hamas government is the exact equivalent of funding Hitler's Nazis.

Vicki Has the right tone. I have noticed a big difference in attitudes these days. People actually look proud. I love Harpers low ball pitch turn into a fast ball bullet. We might just get a Majority yet.

Its nice to know where standing by our allies. Is a joy to hold ones head up again after all the liberal cowardly actions & ducking of our treaty's obligations. Using there own timidity as an excuse too trash the States for there own political gain in Toronto & other bastions of Empire loyalists & shifty socialists.

Its an absolute wonder too watch PMSH stand up for the Military. My condolences to the soldiers family than was killed.We not only looose this fellow & his talents . We loose a part of this Country,s soul & moral fiber.Its these peoples guts, grit, & gallentry that keep our individual liberty & freedoms alive. G-D bless em.

Paul T. ,Gwerty,- Meant it as in give Jack the boot, like their campaign add, also I’m German, perhaps I should have been clearer.

It is still hard to believe! We finally have a government that is of sound mind. It sure has be great to watch this classy style of leadership. We have to remember that the gloves are soon to come off in the House of Commons. That's when it's going to get really good.

Let the ACLu, the labour unions, womens groups, Hollywood, the rainbow coalition and the NDP fund Hamas ... they are all friends aren't they.

Maybe Sanfrancisco and Toronto could team up and divert some of the money for the homeless and the drug users could be diverted to Hamas so they can carry on with their good work. You know ... the repression of women, the poisoning of the minds of their children and the bombing of Jews.

I've gone from leaning towards western separatism to being a proud Canadian. Thanks Stephen Harper. What a difference an election makes!!

Somehow I don't think that "to ensure all direct assistance" means buying more Jaffa Oranges.
but I wish it did, they're excellent...
oh wait, they were perfected by Jewish farmers, so I guess that's not ok for the NDP either...

I'm curious; if Hamas rejects all aspirations of violence, what will they "sell" to their electorate.?

When the wall is complete, and the border final and secure, what then? will they pick up the pieces of their arguments and grow something? build something? sell something? learn how to trade in worldly goods?

After the wall is complete, if the wall is breached, will Israel consider that an "act of war"? a pain in the ass to have to move that wall all the way to Syria...

Bernie...thanks for the heads up..all cool! Jackboots on a "right" site tends to bring out the opinions. I will leave Jack L. opinions to the mercy of the court of the readers!! cheers

Damned good show, Prime Minister Harper!
It's about time we had a PM who doesn't kowtow to terrorists. Makes me proud to be a Canadian, again.

I had to read the original media reports about this twice, I thought I was imagining things. Canada - first to take a stand? When was the last time that happened?

you should see the whiners on cspan right now. I think they actualy think people are paying attention to there lies and story twists. It seems they think if they scream load enough we will all of a sudden start trusting and listening to them. But, we know how much they truly need to go stand in a welfare line for a few years and learn if they dont tell the truth they can go to hell.

Just over a year ago I wrote a scathing attack on Canada and her policies in the comments which Kate found fit to promote to a post here. Lotta water under the bridge since then, huh? But reading your comments tonight encourages me to remind you that Americans are still paying attention.

My heart broke and my stomach churned when I observed how well the Liberals did in your last election. For many Americans it was another conformation of how divorced from reality and a moral compass Canadians had become. Why were the party of crooks, liars, and idiots not totally abandoned? It was a stunning disappointment.

But we've watched some of what Harper is doing. Obviously, not with the same level of interest as those he most directly effects, but we're still paying attention.

We cheered with you when he promised to strengthen your military into a once again useful force. And I watched your pride with joy. We were impressed with not only his visit to the troops in Afghanistan, but the strength and resolve in his speeches there. And tonight I'm enjoying your justifiable elation at the latest moral stance taken by your Foreign Affairs Minister against Hamas.

I'm reading your comments too. "Makes me proud to be a Canadian, again." and "What a delight! Actually standing for something... " And, perhaps most delicious "...the Americans are following us in cutting aid to the Palestinian Authority. Sweet." That may be the truth of the matter, who knows? God knows, I often have precious little faith in our State Department to do the right thing where the Palestinians are concerned. Perhaps Canada is actually beginning to wield some of that moral leadership that your terror supporting Cretin claimed to have. And I read the moving post above this one,"I believe in Canada" and my heart swells for you and your nation.

A year ago I wrote, "Canadians should have a crystal clear grasp of the damage that has been done to the relationship between our countries." And that was and is true. The images of the anti-American rallies and the ringing of the insults hurled contemptously by your politicians will not fade overnight. But like a call from an old lover who wants to rekindle that old flame, we feel that longing that maybe things can once again be as good as they were. There is still that slight distrust that maybe they don't really mean it. But we can hope for a renewal of the good times.

So let me share your joy, and appreciate your pride. May your country continue to regain the strength of character and righteousness for which it was long, and deservedly, respected. We need a strong friend and ally on a least one border.

Best wishes,

Bruce

i wonder why we're still sending $120 million a year to china and how much longer we'll keep doing that ? csl. is building ships there . i'd like to see the paper trail on that . just outa curiousity , of course .

Bernie - the 'jack boots' are in all hotels, in all public 'places', looking in your car, banning you from medical treatment, demanding your name so they can 'write you up', fining you for doing something that is legal, publishing hate literature against you, turning your children against you, trating you like 'scum', rediculing you in public.... In Canada. In our cities. Jack boots. 'They' are the Smoke police. 'They' are the self rightous. 'They' are elected officials. I am not making this up. 'They' ignore the rights of individuals.
You are a tobacco smoker arn't you Bernie?
Bravo to our new PMSH. He and his fellow Conservatives are making me proud to be a Canadian. What a GREAT feeling that is!!

Nothing wrong with Jack boots..just who wears them..

James B. Badger:...just read your older post for the first time...and this one of course...thanks for your thoughtful insight into our country. A lot of the 'Canadian core' are asking (and have been for years) the same questions and looking for the solution. With a huge group of US in-laws and many miles driven on your interstates, I grown, over the years, to realize that how ever much we are different, we are really very much the same.

Best regards!

** should read..."I've grown"

Hold on a minute. I watched MacKay get interviewed about this on both Duffy's show and Newman's broaaaaaadcast. It was clear to me that the government's position is exactly what Layton asked for. MacKay said that as much money as would have gone to the PA will go "directly" to the Palestinian people for such things as sanitation, infrastructure and institution building. It will be channeled through NGOs, he said.

There will be no consequences for the "Palestinian people" for their enthusiastic support of Hamas. Not from Canada.

I have to agree with surly. We're still giving money to the Palestinians.

I'm a big supporter of foreign aid through NGO's. I think we should be aiding the people of North Korea, Somalia, Zimbabwe, Iran, etc., because these people should not be forced to suffer because of what their governments do. And lots of great charities work inside these countries, and the money goes to actual people, not governments.

So please don't think I'm coldhearted. But giving the Palestinians aid I absolutely cannot support. They voted in Hamas. This is not a case of the government abusing the people; these people chose their government in a free and open election when there was a more peaceful alternative available.

The only way to help the Palestinians in the long run is to wean them off their dependence on terrorism. And to do that, we have to allow them to feel the consequences of their actions.

So the spigot should be closed now.

Bruce, as a fellow American, I'd advise you to not let the image of Canada be formed too much by their (like ours) left-wing MSM and their obnoxious, vocal(like ours) left wing.

In the past few years, I've been fortunate to cultivate the friendship of two terrific Canadians, conservatives who have helped me learn a lot about the Canadian people, politics and culture.

Main Street, USA and Main Street Canada share much more in outlook and values than is readily apparent through the distorting prism of the CBC and their similar ilk in the newspaper world.

Just as our own American left-wing media distorts America to Americans and the whole world, they no more reflect the bulk of Canadians than does CBS, Dan Rather, and Moveon.org. They have a Carolyn Parrish and we have a Howard Dean. They have a Jean Chretien; we have a Ted Kennedy. In these and many other cases, these individuals don't reflect the true nature of their nations.

Obviously, this isn't to say that America and Canada are clones. But in the big picture, we share far more in culture and values than the transient differences artificially (and hopefully transiently) stimulated by Canada's two major left-wing parties.

Like you, I'm very optimistic that with the new Canadian government, great things can now be achieved in our two nations' mutual interests.

the fact is, any money spent on infrastructure just frees up cash for weapons. iran will continue to fund and supply arms to hamas. not to mention russia and france via syria. inevitably, israel will deal with them on the ground, by the sea and from the sky. they seem to only understand death and israel will accomodate them when all other options evaporate. the palestinians are begging for the next plague and it will end only after their blood leaches into the holy soil.

um yisrael chai.

oh yeah, and prime minister harper rocks.

"Aid should go to suffering Palestinians..." Right, Jack. Those "suffering Palestinians" voted in those Hamas terrorists. You and the NDP are pathetic, Jack. Oh, wait. My mistake. That wasn't a quotation from Jack Layton. That was what President Bush said at his Freedom House press conference yesterday.
"US State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said the United States plans to increase humanitarian aid for the Palestinians but will not fund a government controlled by Hamas." (Deutsche Presse-Agentur)

Have people forgotten the Palestinian's dancing in the streets parting while the Towers fell, & 3000 died?

Islamofascism is the same no matter what garment they shroud their women in.

GAZA (Reuters) - The Islamist group Hamas defended on Friday a suicide bombing that killed four Israelis as "resistance" against Israeli "crimes", putting it at odds with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, who condemned the attack. Hours after the attack Israeli warplanes and artillery struck the Gaza Strip, though no casualties were reported. A car explosion in Gaza later killed a top commander of the Popular Resistance Committees, a group behind many rocket attacks against Israel, Palestinian security sources said. The group identified the commander as Khalil al-Quqa and accused Israel of being behind the explosion which killed him. The Israeli... +
