| So you have one guy, an American, who claims the election was fair. The right-wing pro American candidate. He claims that all close races are marked by bitterness and protest. Actually that's not true. All elections PERIOD are marked by bitterness. People seldom actually take to the streets, though,... |

| The documentary I watched seemed to imply that the others were test beds that had been abandoned due to high cost of operation. The Chinese are doing it simply because they can. They are paying for it to run as a showcase of their technological prowess, and lose money on it every month. And my comme... |

| I really like the beauty shots the groundcrew took the time to do around the An-124 after they drove it off! Funny. Those guys look REAL proud and happy to get that tank :) It appears the new C2 has advanced add-on armour. How they have prepared the electronics and engine for the dust, though, is th... |

| What a bunch of nonsense, the unequal way these laws are treated is hypocritical. Do I see the RCMP hunting anti-Islamic websites? Tell me, what is the equivalent of an 'Islamo-fascist' in Israel? IS that what they call a Zionist? World War II is over, people. Jews are no longer persecuted, they hav... |

| Talk about embarrassing, I know. My bet is that this is a ploy to use up old equipment to strengthen the case for more purchases. Read my quote, Orwell wasn't joking when he said it. --- “The war is not meant to be won, it is meant to be continuous, the essential act of warfare is the destruction of... |

| China is also one of the world leaders in developing new technology, they have the only operational mag-lev train system, and are rapidly developing hydrogen fuel cell technology, for example. They are not STUPID or anything, they are doing the best they can. But modern civilization now comes with a... |

| Yes, a lovely snippet from the Associated Press: 'The dispute started as a strike by teachers, but spread as anarchists, students and Indian groups joined the protest, occupying the city centre and building barricades on some streets.' Again, they are not PEOPLE, ordinary citizens who have finally t... |

| I was appalled at the comments section on CBC Newsworld after the announcement of the British report, and CBC following up with a special on climate change in the Arctic. Nearly 50% of the posters still didn't believe humans had anything to do with global warming, and that this was all some kind of ... |

| I'm one Canadian who likes it, but only because he's right, and it's nice to see Jack with some fire in his belly for a change. People are sick of government humming and hawwing about global warming in order to make sure all private companies are not badly impacted, and the CEO has to cancel buying ... |

| Yes, and the use of language is appalling. The lack of mentioning the names of those SHOT TO DEATH BY GOVERNMENT HIT SQUADS, the portrayal of the protesters as violent and confrontational and the police as 'defending' but 'in control'. This could well be the start of a full scale Mexican civil war, ... |

| Afghanistan - where all obsolete Canadian equipment goes to rust, gather dust, and be quietly destroyed. I laughed when I heard the Leopard Mark I's were going there. They would be crazy to even think about using them - the Leopard was designed by the Germans for Western European warfare, it will fa... |

| The most amusing part was hiring Al Gore as Britain's climate change consultant! Strange. The 'ominous silence' from the US says it all. One major newspaper has already called for a ban on all global warming articles. In short, it don't mean shit if the US and China ain't listening. --- “The war is ... |
