I'm just impressed this government made a decision to send the DART team. The last government waited for months to make the decision and in the case of Katrina, they team members finally went on their own. .. now none of the team might get into Burma but at least they made a decision. rr, your corr... |

Dude, the money's not going to the Burmese government, most of the money being donated by Canadians is going to aid agencies like the Red Cross or MSF, et al. Sorry Xerxes, while relief agencies are very professional and know their stuff, inevitably they have to deal with the government of the affe... |

Yet another attempt to bully and/or muzzle free speech in Canada by Islamists. No big suprise they are involving our quasi parallel legal system known as a Human Rights Commission.  |

When a country won't let aid in, or puts heavy restrictions on how, when and where it is delivered, you can be sure there is corruption, and the ruling elite are looking to get a big cut of whatever aid money and goods they can get their hands on. |

In the words of John F Kennedy "Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country" Compulsory service to Canada (not just the military) is a great idea for kids done of high school with no plans to go on to higher learning, no job prospects and not sure what to... |

Hard to believe that tripe got past an editor. Does the Sun outsource articles to a third world country? Is writer Mike Strobel 10 years old? Inquiring minds want to know.  |

Nope. The Libs would rather enable child prostitutes than restrict them. (That's one for you: xerxes) Yeah, because every Liberal/liberal is child molester right?

According to the news last night, the lion was tied up in the front yard. What kind of twit leaves a lion tied up in his front yard, with zero precautions to keep it contained besides a rope? |

Those all seem like very marginal advantages in relation to the massively higher cost of the C-17. Marginal? Those seem to be excellent advantages.
