"Serious Looting" Underway in Ottawa, Canada
Fox News ^ | August 14, 2003

Subscript only at Fox.

I usually don't post such, but this one was to good to pass up, IMO. Plus Chretien thrice-changed explanation for the blackout.

If you use a credit card, the tax is automaticly deleted and you don't have to file for it, you also don't have to bother with the conversion to Canadian funds.

I just got back from Canada, and the changes in the last five years are amazing. This country has truly become a socialist state, whether or not the people want it.

How has Canada changed in the last five years?

Actually, because Canada is Socialist, we should let up on the Canadian looters a little. After all, they were probably just hunting for food

This is a lie! Everyone knows Canada is too morally superior to have looters! The looters were bussed in from Detroit! Bussed in from Cincinnati! Bussed in from Mexico!

That idiot, George Bush, set this up!

"Wanna bet that the slaves are sorry they gave up their guns?"

Before they can regret...they have to recognize the reality of their slavery. I'll bet the Canadians will never link gun control to a loss of freedom...nor will they EVER be willing to resort to violence to retake something they never had.

A bigger question is whether or not our society will do so, given a similar situtation. Right now, the AWB may or may not sunset; but we have a fairly friendly President as far as gun control goes....but not one that is proven when the chips are down. Still....it is inevitable that at some point, maybe in 2008....we'll have another RAT in the White House. Have we as a society (and I don't mean just freepers!), got the guts to really fight to the death...another American Revolution? I don't think so.

Hillary Blames Bush for Blackout (News Max)

"Just hours after the Northeastern power grid went down shutting off electricity for 50 million Americans, U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton took to the airwaves to blame President Bush and his administration's energy policies for pushing deregulation and coddling corrupt power companies like Enron.........

No? According to The Independent:
http://news.independent.co.uk/world/americas/story.jsp?story=434093

Ottawa - 23 incidents of looting
Toronto - 114 incidents of looting (including 38 arrests)

NYC - 1 incident in which 20 were arrested, in addition to a handful of other cases of looting

Sheesh, the New Yorkers should be ashamed of themselves. They've really gone soft.

Gun control means using both hands.

Gun control means using a firm hand and a good eye to shoot straight... :/

Concentrated pockets of window breaking and looting throughout city.

WTF? This makes no sense. Ok, we have concentrated pockets breaking windows. Do the rest of the looters have keys to the stores/places they are looting from?
