| To start with you can imagine whatever you want, look at your cereal box, the two official languages are there because the law requires it. Before Trudeau, it was still a dual language country going back to confederation, when the new government allow quebec to keep its language rights, thus english... |

| I find it hard to hate people I don't know, but look about at what America has become. I used to have respect for America and what they stood for, now I am living next door to two groups of people, the fear mongers who create imaginary enemies and the people who fear them beyond reason. America is b... |

| We live in a secular nation with the democratic right to chose and the government of this land in its wisdom has rendered its verdict as has the highest court in the land. In a secular country the law of the land comes first and the religious convictions are based on a belief system, and not a legal... |

| Well when these people are bitching saying english only, what about all those canadians who went overseas, who were chinese, or natives or blacks or whatever. Some were Ukranian kids who barely spoke a word of english, and never spoke english at home. We are a country made up of all kinds of people ... |

| I guess you gotta do what you gotta do. My father told me he joined to do what he could for the country and saw a lot of action, and at 95 he still questions whether it was all worth it, he lost a lot of friends and most of the things they fought for were forgotten when the final articals of surrend... |

| First of all justkate, this is not an english speaking country period, it has two legal official languages english and french, and that is the law of the land. Second I don't care what language anyone sings the song in, as long as they know the words which so many of our fellow canadians do not. I h... |

| These are the types of actions that get a government in trouble. If you eliminate protesters and those giving speeches, that have not committed a criminal offence, with violence, you run the risk of being labelled as dictators stiffling free speech and assembly. No they are not citizens nor do they ... |

If they wanted to conform to those rules they could do quite well along with Canadian investment. We would produce wealth in terms of currency, dependant on the wealth produced from natu... |

I would however be working as I farm and we export to more than America, all be it we do ship lots of product to the united states. It is time canadians looked for markets outside of the Sta... |

| Sometimes I am amazed at what I read, someone asks shouldn't the going to war be voluntary? Conscription takes all rights you might have had away and they put a rifle in your hand and show you the road to the front. I will bet many have never heard of the war measures act either. That is also Canadi... |

This kid needs serious help and a long term inside the walls of an institution. If he values a cartoon over that of a human what hope is there f... |

| Ipsos Reid is far more accurate than Decima and the only thing this demonstrates is the polls are very fluid indeed. If I were in any party, I would have have trouble sleeping if I thought an election was just around the corner. No one really wants an election right now and whoever touches one off i... |

With a new government perhaps they will return to the image of international respect but if the Republicans get re-elected their image will be tarnished. I am not always against everythi... |
