Damn the Liberal Party for their lazy assed entitlement attitude under Chretien and Martin. Damn the NDP for glossing over the radicals in the Conservative Party and giving them a kind of tacit cover by their grandiose fantasizing about their own electoral glory at the expense of the Liberals.
Damn Stephen Harper and all his caucus and minions and all their supporters.
The country I have loved and been proud to call mine for all my 60 years is gone in all but name.
Now Canada condones torture. In fact we knowingly and gloatingly turn over prisoners taken on the battlefield to people we have been told repeatedly will torture them. We justify this by calling the country to whom we surrender those prisoners a "democracy". An equal horror is that there are Conservative supporters who trumpet our new barbarianism as though it were a sign of our advanced civilization
Now Canada doesn't care whether it's citizens overseas are sentenced to death in "democracies". Like, presumably, the democracy we know tortures the prisoners we turn over to them. Why? Because we have a "law and order agenda" and evidently state execution is an inherent characteristic of said agenda. Drip, drip, drip. Incrementally re-introduce the idea that state executions are not always wrong. Move from there to the idea that they're frequently right. And on from there to let's hang 'em all. Rah, rah, rah, pass the potatoes, god bless Canada.
Now Canada has a national state police force that is able to pretty much take whatever action it likes. We've seen many, many examples over the past couple of years. The murder of Robert Dziekanski is only the latest and most callous example. There will surely be more. Mr. Pritchard, who shot the video of the murder, should be paying extra attention to his surroundings for the next several months. He shouldn't drive his own car but have someone sober drive him always, or take cabs. He's a target now. By saying what I've said here today so am I and so are any other bloggers who get on this. Random pointless traffic stops and safety checks. Squad cars parked across the street. Pointed questions asked of your neighbours. They can make life quite uncomfortable while they watch for you to make a mistake. Do you think they've never done such things before when it suited their purpose? They'll pepper spray children when it suits their purpose.
I need sleep. I'm going to try again.
I grieve for Robert Dziekanski's mother.

I hope this helps your state of mind, it at least gives me a little hope that every one is not brain dead!
"The survey by the Strategic Counsel for The Globe and Mail/CTV shows the Green Party at 13% across Canada ahead of the NDP at 12%.
In the West the Greens are at 18% -- two per cent ahead of the NDP. In Quebec the Greens are at 10% while the NDP is at 7% and in Ontario the Greens and the NDP are tied at 12%. So the Green Party is ahead of the NDP in every region -- except Ontario where it's a tie.
So the GPC is, for the moment, the third national party -- ahead of the Bloc and ahead of the NDP."

When you are up to your ass in alligators it is difficult to remember that the initial objective was to drain the swamp
Linking such an act to any political party is the height of lunacy and only displays the limited intellectual capacity of the person posting such ... anything said after Harperite is justly ignored like any other post following of that there is little doubt

Clone old buddy when it comes to lunacy and limited intellectual capacity you by your posts have set the bar so low that anyone with an iq equal to their hat size trumps your efforts here

psiclone, you really didn't read past that point...you didn't notice the despare and snipe at each party.
If you stopped reading after the second line please refrain from trying to gather a following of nonreaders. I don't think you will find many willing to put your blinders on around this website. Or.... just...read the rest and comment about, how Canada has changed lately, in all aspects and extents of, the use of force.
When you finally see it, you won't be able to sleep either.
When "you" finally see it, it will be too late, I am sure.
Harperite?? We are on Harper's watch are we not?...and he does stoke the engine of extremism as we veer off to the right.
An example....Might is right...lets force those Afghanistan folks to change to a democratic society like ours...
What is ours really becoming like??? How do we stop the trend?
"By saying what I've said here today so am I and so are any other bloggers who get on this."
Yeah, and this is exactly what needs to happen en masse. People need to stop being afraid of who-knows-what all the time. Stand up for what you believe in. Don't be afraid of the police or the government because they are all just people like we are. Oh yeah and don't forget what Johnny Cash sang: 'You can run on for a long time but sooner or later God will cut you down.' Make no mistake, the evildoers will get theirs.
