How amazing that is a short three years the Canadians turn coat. After 911 they were singing our praises and saying how sad it was that the US helps around the world and in our time of need no one so much as offered to come and help us.
What a bunch of hypocrites. With friends like them, who needs enemies. It seems to me ad least you know how your enemies stand, it hurts when so called allies back stab us. Maybe we should deport Kerry to Canada since they like to flip flop.

As I posted earlier, my T-37 Instructor during my Air Force Undergraduate Pilot Training was an outstanding Canadian Air Force pilot on exchange from the Royal Canadian Air Force, and since there were many Vietnam veteran American pilots also instructing us, it goes without saying the respect was mutual then, and I am sure it still is among those Canadians who still cherish liberty.
All I can say is, they need to decide whether they want to fish or cut bait.

I think the plan for the monument is great... 
It couldn't have come at a worse time for the Kerry campaign.....

Arthur : How would you ever get a government change if there are no set terms? Please enlighten me to how that works. ..other than the obvious "not well". People in America need to hear this everyday. What would all these liberals think if they couldn't vote every 4 years? And how is the health care system up there? thanks. CTW
Never Ever Kerry |
Hi CTW,
Sorry about the delay in answering your question, but here in Canada, a term in office is nominally 5 years (or 4) but it is not fixed and so what every sitting prime minister does is to call an election when he has the maximum political advantage. Our governments have lasted anywhere from 2 to 4 years. There are no set dates and while he must call an election after 5 years that has very rarely happened. The Liberals (Democrats) seem to have a strangle hold on Canada that has only lately shown signs of weakening. Paul Martin, our current Prime Minister, has presided over the theft of many millions by Liberal Cabinet Ministers and thanks to a predominantly left lib press he handily won re-election. American politicians can certainly learn about corruption on a massive scale from the Canadians.
Also with no term limits we can have the same prime minister for more than a decade. Pierre Elliot Trudeau, a Marxist Leninist during his youth and a friend of Castor, Mao and Brezhnev was in power for something like 15 years.
With respect to the public Health Care in Canada, it's a disaster. My sister died of breast cancer last year at the age of 50. She had to wait for 5 1/2 months from the time her GP suspected something to her first appointment with an oncologist. If you listen to a liberal they will tell you that health care is free and available to everybody and while that is true, they don't tell you that you also have rather long waiting lists up here for care of any kind. Hip replacements can take 2 to 3 years. Cataract surgery is more than a year away and MRI appointments take 4 to 6 months. Perhaps my sister would still have died had she been an American, but at least her chances would have been far better in an American hospital.
I apologize if I sound bitter, but after having lived the Liberal experience, I feel that I've been lied to, betrayed and sold out.
Cheers,
Arthur F. |
