Iran's moral case
I rarely judge other counties as I am a firm believer in self-determination of nations. However I feel let down by Iran, even disappointed. Iran was a country bold enough to lecture the USA on principles and morality. Rigged elections places Iran fi...

Year-End Wish List
Here is my wish list:1) Bring the troops home, now!Warmongering and establishing Vichy governments is not really the Canadian way.2) Immigration designed around extending family instead of economics. My priorities tend to arts, sports, family, and cu...
Voting
I WILL be voting Green this election simply to guarantee that the global warming issue remains front and center. The world is out there and I do rather have a tendency to look past the end of my nose.However, future elections are up for grabs as Gree...

Another t-shirt to add to my collection. I bought two of these. One for Calgary and one for Nova Scotia. One can never say, "Bring the Troops Home," too often and in too many places.You can get your own from this place.And you can see some of my othe...
What is up with counter demonstrators?
What is up with counter demonstrators? If I am organizing, for example, a support local soccer parade, is it respectful for community hockey types to come out and attempt to divert attention and potential monies to their cause, instead? Or should...
The Tibet struggle is not my struggle
The Tibet struggle is not my struggle. Tibet is a part of China. I have no interest in fomenting dissent in a region of China by supporting a separatist cause. And I especially am not keen to endorse a Tibetan leadership based on sexism and relig...

Manley can say it. Why can't I?
Why is it that Manley can say we should pull out of Afghanistan (if no increased support) and I can’t? When I say it then I have icky-pooh logic. When Manley says it, he is perfectly correct. The difference is … ? The mission is not working b...
Icky-pooh Afghan thinking
Well, look at me. I am in “the icky-pooh school of the left” with my opinions on Afghanistan. This according to an editor of the Journal of Military and Strategic Studies – Jim Keeley. The Centre for Military and Strategic Studies at the Un...
Americans Assist Taliban
Well, well, well. Arthur Kent, PC candidate, writes in today’s Calgary Herald, “U.S. aid to Pakistan indirectly assists Taliban groups targeting Afghan civilians -- and NATO forces, including Canadians and Americans.” If I wrote that then I wou...
A tie for X-Mas
Last year I got a tie for X-mas. Really. And it wasn't from one of the kids, either, but from my Mom. Darned if she isn't going to get a box of chocolates this year.And while I am on the chocolate theme, I have noticed a long, triangular bar-shaped t...

Afghan poll and Vichy
Was listening with fascination to the poll taken in Afghanistan on how the population feels wrt government, foreign soldiers and the Taliban. And all I could think of was how the French citizens of Vichy France would have responded if German agencies...
The Peaceable Kingdom
I am not the only one who was extremely surprised to find a haven of honour, peace and tranquility within Canada. River of Mist was also pleasantly surprised. Welcome to Annapolis Royal where things have been done right: best small community in the w...
German Greens, good on ya
Good on ya, German Greens. Finally listening to the membership and refusing to support the war in Afghanistan.WTF were ya thinking supporting imperialistic warfare in the first place? It appears German Greens were brainwashed by various powermongers...
Prisoners? What prisoners?
Impolitical reminds us of our duty and obligation to protect prisoners of war. They keep disappearing on us. Wink, wink politics in Afghanistan does no justice to the situation. Where are the prisoners? Get out of Afghanistan, now....
UN Fails the World
I am dwelling on this too much, I guess, but why is the UN not encouraging the world to be belligerent toward the US through any and all means as a way of forcing them out of Iraq and to pay reparations? They certainly did it to Iraq when it invaded...
Boycott the US
I do not really understand why we are in Afghanistan, as so many of you warmongers have so often informed me. But what I know I do not understand is why the United Nations (and Canada) is not kicking American ass out of Iraq – where is the world-wi...
Thank you, Quebec.
Thank you, Quebec.Thank you for being largely a pacifist province. Without you Canada would probably be warmongering with American gusto-like panache all about the world. Thank you for being against every World War and every engagement since. Thank y...
