I don't know his politics but he the firebrand that the Conservatives need. No mercy. No quarter given.
The Great Wall of Canada - sounds like it could be a great tourist attraction!
You mean to tell me they run stories other than US bashing???
Damn, Shermy, when I read that I flashed waaayy back to the days of Jean Chretien* together with Vicente Fox having a good laugh about how they were going to have us literally over a barrel. They were enjoying it immensely.
When you look at Hugo Chavez's psychotic rantings about cutting us off from oil to sell it all to the Chicoms, it can be a little alarming.
*Sorry about this spelling--when he was in power, I always just referred to him as Johnny Cretin.
That's a good question. I thihk that he was talking about the timber dispute. Personally, I agree with him on the timber dispute. I don't think it's really a US/Canadian issue. It's more a special interest issue. Most Americans don't want to spend thousands of dollars more for housing because we can't import Canadian timber. But the US timber growers and US timber workers have their hand out, and the politicians naturally react.
That IS how Canada defines itself. "We aren't the USA."
Wilkins did not name the prime minister directly, but he specifically targeted a comment made last week at the Montreal climate change conference in which Martin called on the United States to heed a "global conscience" and join efforts to combat global warming.
Says a country with a population less than California and an Economy 2/3 so.
Canada lecturing the USA on ANYTHING is like a 4-year old child lecturing his parents on how to drive.
If it wasn't for its proximity to the USA, Canada would have the political importance of Luxembourg.
You guys in Western Canada better get yourselves in gear and try to recover your country.
You're out in Vancouver? I would love to go there sometime. I imagine that there are plenty of girls into the 'outdoor scene' too- mtns, skiing, sea kayaking, etc.
When we go down to Canmore, theres plenty and they're all pretty cool. Around campus in Edmonton its a tough scene to try and meet any.
I agree with you - "The Big Lie" has been a tool of the Liberal government for so many years now.
My Mother-in-law is stil at home! No beds available yet. Today her Doctor simply prescribed pain killers for her. I could tell you more stories, but I'm sure you have heard them all.
Well, actually, no. I haven't heard them all before.
I have heard of very long delays for CT Scans that could diagnose cancer earlier but this is the first time I have heard of a patient with the potential of having an acute M.I. just left at home without any intervention whatsoever. Then again, my specialty is not cardiology so I never see those types of patients.
This is "medicine" straight out of the Middle Ages.
My advice would be to get a relative to drive your mother-in-law over the border into the U.S. and have her M.I. ruled out or ruled in and treated appropriately.
