[Princip. Conservative]

Another classic US vs Canada conservatism/liberalism clash. While the US has plenty of problems of its own, we're sharply more conservative than our Canadian counterparts on everything from gay marriage to prostitution to this, both at the legislative and judicial level. This message this knee-jerk liberalism of Canada's high court sends is clearly that political correctedness trumps national security. And, of course, it was a unanimous decision. Had it been 5-4 or something, I would have at least said there was some level of sanity in the ruling.

Also on this front, Canada is busy falling all over itself apologizing for imprisoning someone, while America is keeping the person on their most watched list.

With friends like these, who needs enemies?

2/3 branches ain't bad...

I thought Canada would start to wise up when they elected Stephen Harper. I know, I know, he's got neocon connections but he's an improvement over an admitted liberal.

Yeah they're just as bad as the frikkin Taliban, Osama, Iran, Russia, China and Venezula all rolled into one.
Why doesn't the US just invade and deport all these islamofascist commie-loving Kanuckistanis to Cuba, I hear they like it there!
Oh, and the Queerbeckers can all take a hike back to France, with the rest of the cheese eating surrender monkeys!
I just thank God the US is blessed by being led by a party with true conservative values.
Go Rudy in '08!!!

You are so right. Keep a watchful eye northward at all times. A lot of attractive real estate here, but way large a varmint population, and it is getting larger each day - and bolder. Should you need to invade to do varmint control, there will be a friendly flag and homemade buttered biscuits waiting in Ottawa on Riverside. Don't be long, now!

"With friends like these, who needs enemies?"

Given it's been repeatedly explained to you that virtually all the Canadian legal & social outrages you delight in pointing out also routinely occur Stateside and as well the significant differences in our governmental systems & why, with roughly 1/10 of America's population spread out over a larger land mass, 'local' stories tend to become 'national' ones up here much more readily, one can only conclude your habitual disparaging of one of your country's friends & allies is driven by compulsive xenophobia coupled with willful ignorance.

I'd strongly suggest you concern yourself with the likes of your own Judicial activists undermining the WOT & a Federal Judge in Massachusetts last week imposing homosexual indoctrination on its school children while resting assured Canadian conservatives are currently addressing similar seditious & morally bankrupt matters up here.

Right after a post on school punishments I read something about folks on detention.

No secret evidence? No indefinite imprisonment without charges? How Un-American.
