Rockie -------- I don't have a lot of faith in ANY laws...American or Canadian. I related to you what is THE law in that regard and that not too long ago another President and certain members of his Cabinet did similar things. They all paid the price for it in some regard and it was Congress who mad...

Rockie --------they can do whatever they wish to do ILLEGALLY, but they can only do it LEGALLY for SIX months and/or until the President's budget runs out of money and he has to ask Congress for more. At that point he either lies again to get those monies or tells the truth. If the truth isn't what ...

Well Hedley, once you elect a bunch of creeps to Ottawa and they do so with a majority, then they don't have talk or deal with you for another 5 years. So if you don't like what they're doing or saying in the meantime, just how do you kick theie asses out of power anyway. If the Americans get pissed...

Hedley --------my friend, you've missed the point. It's not just us and the Americans that have that problem. Start checking 'Jolly old' and you'll find the same thing again. That's why I tell Canadians..'don't be pointing at other people and the shit they're standing in, if when you look down, you'...

Afer your all done barfing, you can start back in Canadian history with John A. MacDonald znd read forward in time. Bythe time you get to the present you'll be well into 'the dry heaves'.WhileChretin and Mulroney are as crooked as the letter "S", they're mere amateurs compared to their predecessors ...

Well wherever that valley is, Sarah Pallin should take all the other stupid politicians with here. If that's the case, then that valley will have a large city soon after.

Rockie ---------- understand your fears and your meaning, BUT the Americans have a 'trump card' in their political system that Canada doesn't have. The vast majority of Canadians attribute way more power to the White House than it has. They are constantly 'drummed-to-death' via the media about "the ...

There's been total diasters on both sides of the 49th. It doesn't say much for the intelligence of the electorate and a mistake made one time......well there can be misjudgements, BUT when you do it a second time and it's now back to back misjudgements? Rockie, I'm of the belief that based on the po...

Rockie----------AND you don't consider Richard Milhaus Nixon and his esteemed Cabinet, most of who went to jail, as disasters to the US and the world? What more do you consider they should have done to qualify for your list then? George W. Bush? Let's see now. Ran a company into bankruptcy and was b...

Heaven forbid, don't ditch the Monarchy. We've got to have at least one part of our Federal government that we don't vote for, gets to make laws we have to abide by, gets great salaries and only have to show-up for work one day out of the year to get that salary and the great pension that goes with....

Excuse me sir, but I thought it was understood by all that I was referring to "ON" the Reserve with regards taxes and a host of other things. I understood wrongly, will now apologize and correct that misunderstanding. Do NOT quote religously from the Indian Act to me because it is not to be taken li...

I just used cheese as a starter. Don't get me started on the rest. Once I need hip-waders to walk through the shit, I usually give up. Nobel Prize? I could sure use some of the stuff Alfred Nobel invented to dislodge some of the bullshit around here sometimes.......'cause it can get thick. :lol: :lo...

First all, Canada can't 'scrap' anything to do with Treaties signed by England or herself WITHOUT the approval of the natives involved. That is written into Canadian law itself and if anything was arbortarially changed by Parliament, it would find that item a subject of international discussion at t...

Driving Rain-------the world you are looking for doesn't exist and never will. That is why I continually keep trying to counsel Canadians to ease-off on that pointing of fingers southward because it would be best if they made sure that they weren't a hypocrite because Canadians have a tendency to be...

Fogducker -----thanks bud, but being a citizen of both countries and raised primarily in this one, I make it my past time to blow ignorance that I encounter out-of-the-water on BOTH sides of the 49th.........and boy are there some 'knuckle-draggers' on both sides too. Some even got university degree...

istp -------surely to God man you aren't going to use 'Wikipedia" as your source of accuracy to make some kind of point about aANYTHING. You can't possibly be that naive.....are you? Might as well quote from something you've read on the back of a cereal box. :lol: Even I can refute and 'blow out of ...

Carrier ---------sorry to crush an apparent real Canadian, but I've news for you. For years I flew the Arctic Islands in F/W and R/W. During all those years one thing was known by everyone, seen by me personally and was a standard sarcastic joke around Resolute Bay HQ for the Polar Shelf Program. Th...

JakeYYZ----------In answer to your first question: (1) "Yes". Vast sums of monies were spent by the Nixon administration cleaning-up after their Vice President Spiro Agnew. He makes Joe Biden look like a 'piker'. Or put another way, he makes Joe Biden look like one of the best VP's that the USA has ...

If, perchance, the foregoing was some attempt at condemnation of any country who has ever been involved as an occupying military in any situation, then it's a grossly misinformed piece of literature. It also appears to be some sort of veiled attempt by some 'American-hating' person who failed their ...

North Shore ------- I did read your post but took your meaning as some sort of surprise that this had taken place in dear old Canada. In otherwards, I took a different meaning from what you intended. My apologies for the misinterpretation.

So you run for VP of the USA.........and fail........as your Party does. Then you're raked-over the coals in many ways and reviled for a host of things.......BUT you still want to run for Presidnt of the USA. One of your first major problems before was that nobody had ever heard of you. So Sarah Pal...

Cat Driver ---------- I do believe Sir, that this is the very first time I've ever heard of such a thing taking place in Canada or the US. You and I are from the same generation, so I'm wondering if it's the first time that you've observed the same thing as I. You will disregard the dripping sarcasm...

Don't get your chest pumped-out too far there buddy. The Americans keep records of that kind of stuff.........our governments don't and we have troops fighting overseas too. So drop the finger-pointing at any other country and check whatever records you can find for the same in this country first. S...

Now that the occupation of Iraq by the United States is all agreed upon, I wonder if anyone can name the other western countries of modern times who have also done the same and for longer periods of time........and with the same results as the US to date?

Clauses built into contracts to protect teams AND players are as old as the hills. If the Senators didn't have one with Heatley and their other players then they deserve everything that happens to them for their stupidity alone..........and they should immediately be searching for a new legal team t...
