Hmmm.

My local paper announced upcoming military exercises to take place in an industrial location nearby in Oakville.
Posted by: Mississauga Matt at May 10, 2006 10:19 AMMore help, please: I am seeking a confirmation that, at the leadership forum of the LPC(O) in Toronto on Friday, May 5, Bob Rae likened the Prime Minister's softwood lumber agreement to "the Munich Pact."
via w kinseelya (iberal, but, not ibrano$)
Is Rae another one of those loony-left socialist power corp liberal party of toronto hangers-on; or is Rae a will-not-let-go socialist? Is Rae jewish?
Anywho, onward to this link from Worn's site: It's a must read... Scotty gets high marks for sartorial splendour, aka fop Oscar Wilde.
But... here's Rae Days "Munich Pact" crapola...
"Rae compared Neville Chamberlain and the Munich Pact/appeasement of Nazi Germany with Stephen Harper’s surrender to Bush on softwood. I thought that was over the line, you can do better than that Bob."

Maybe, should not give this ex-BCer any width?
Posted by: maz2 at May 10, 2006 10:33 AMForgive me for still not getting past this,but....that grand prick Paul Martin STILL owes this country an apology for his party's abhorrent and disgusting behavior the last two weeks of the recent electoral campaign.
Posted by: Canadian Observer at May 10, 2006 11:24 AMCan Bob Rae loose the disgust and outrage look that he has kept on his ugly mug for the past 15 years. The look that has kept Ed Broadbent thru to Jack Layton in front of the CBCpravda cameras for at least 30 years. serious brow and bugged out eyes.a scrum of the great ND party behind them in tweedy suits. you could almost get away with the same picture and just stick in new scripts of complaints.

Next, now they are going after Rona....
Does that industrial area resemble Caledonia,Matt?
Our troops need a good mock up area.
Posted by: Army Vet of FLQ days at May 10, 2006 4:42 PMAlthough it perhaps acts in her defense it was claimed that McLachlin herself, as one of the two dissenting justices in the Marshall decision spoke of the court creating law, rather than interpreting or applying it, in that decision.
If that's the case, it would seem that if she isn't inclined to write law there may be other justices on the Supreme Court that feel otherwise inclined.
Missipp...err Missisauga Matt...
ya forgot the cut line:
"this is happening, in Canada"
I'm not making this up...

'Just exactly what I noticed in his speech about the similarity between PMSH and Neville Chamberlain's comments after his meeting with Hitler. (There's that Heil Harper thing again, only slightly veiled...)
Sour puss, looking oh-so-serious and ponderous, like he was actually saying something of import. PLEEEEEEZE. What the H____'s the matter with far too many of Canada's politicians? They're such a bunch of sleaze buckets--stuffed into suits and ties and stuck before microphones at "important" events which are duly filmed and aired by their propaganda agent the CBC.
It is too much. And PMSH knows exactly what's going on, which is why he is such a target. Anyone who knows what's going on is a target, including people whose interviews and/or panel places are cancelled at the last minute. Why? Because they're likely to make too much sense, they look too normal--in other words, they're not drooling and spouting "down with the commies!"--and they have an opinion at odds with the news- and fem/gay-speak of the CBC.
The CBC is all for "tolerance," "openness," and "diversity" as long as people agree with them. If you fall on the 'other side' of the political spectrum, you're out: Goodbye tolerance, openness, diversity. The door is shut in your face and the receiver, slammed in your ear.
Did I hear someone say Gulag?
I was at the event in Winnipeg, called Exercise Charging Bison. The purpose was to prepare troops from the Army Reserves 38 Brigade (Sk, Mb & northern On) for possible deployment overseas, likely in 2008. As with any deployment of Reservists, it is strictly voluntary, none can be ordered to go if they choose not to. It takes an act of Parliment or an order-in-council to send reservists out of the country against their will. That hasn't happened since the Korean war.
The goal was to use an urban environment, and Winnipeg suited the bill nicely (so that Brigade staff could go home at night, all others were at one of four camps in the city)
The protesters that were there were ineffective for their purposes, as most people ignored them - except when they blocked traffic and angered Winnipegers. In fact, they unwittingly became a useful training aide, as they provided real situations outside of scripted events.
At one of the camps, protesters on bikes scuffled with police, and a few were arrested. When soldiers asked the police what they would do with protesters that got into the military compounds, the police told the soldiers that they become a 'military' problem. And this is true, since a military camp, even temporary ones like the one we had set up, come under federal jurisdiction. Anyone entering the camp, legally or otherwise, comes under the jurisdiction of the National Defence Act. If a protester had gotten onto the camp, they would have seen federal courts and potential federal incarceration, rather than violation of municipal bylaws.
One important think to keep in mind...an exercise of the scale of Charging Bison takes more than a year to plan and prepare. Permits and legal contracts, clearences from the city, logistical planning, scenario development, finding suitable sites, approvals from National Defence HQ, etc. all take a great deal of time.
Therefore, approval and planning, starting more than a year ago, came during the term of 'which political party?'
Oh yeah...the Liberals, who wanted
soldiers
Canadian soldiers
on Canadian streets
with guns
in Canada
I'm not making that up!

Posted by: Canadian Observer at May 11, 2006 1:43 PMI watched a news report today concerning Kyoto accord. A lot of European countries want Canada to give up it's seat as main movers of Kyoto. They say we are following the USA's lead and are too pro American and not independant. I see cracks in the Torry adgenda. They will be coming down like the Berlin Wall. Harper's destroying the good reputation Canada has with the real world........Not the American dream!!! Give the Tories another 10 mos and they will make any Party but them look good.
