| I would suggest that you look more closely at who actually owns your small town paper. I did and was surprised that it is either Canwest or the Sun Media chain. As far as the CBC, before they went on strike they were going overboard trying to give a voice to the most radical right wing voices in the... |

| You're article seems to concentrate on entertainment and you seem to have missed a very important point about the Canadian media. From what I can see, there is more than enough coverage and discussion (in terms of volume anyway) about Canada in our media aside from entertainment. I would agree that ... |

| Personally, I don't look to Canwest of any of the Sun papers for any sort of news simply because I can depend on them to give a privitisation/globalisation slant on everything and is clearly being used to promote a private agenda. This is most evident by their editorial and opinion columns, which ha... |

| Why spend billions of dollars and put their lives at risk for a country that is willing to give itself away; not to mention not having to worry about providing for any social or governmental costs that would go along with an invasion? |

| It's quite the laugh that the US even thinks they control the internet now. The fact is that it is not in the hands of any one country now and any politician who thinks otherwise simply does not understand how the internet actually works. All anyone has to do to escape the laws of one country is to ... |

The issue at hand currently is American ownership of and influence on our country, which he never seems to get around to dealing wi... |

| Okay, that is with your neighbor who lives beside you. Do you have such friendships with black people across the city if you are white and vice versa if black? Why not? Because you're afraid to go there and are afraid of that person (quite rightly so I'm sure) even though he is your countryman. Livi... |

| This is an important point. It shows a fundamental difference between Canadians and Americans; we aren't afraid of each other, Americans are. In Canada, I don't need a map pointing out which areas of my city (Calgary) I can go to (day or night) and which I can't. A few years ago I was driving throug... |

| This is kind of misleading in that it implies Celluci has had some form of epiphany and that he has now seen the error of his ways when in fact what he is implying is that detaining Arar with absolutely no proof of his involement with "terrorists" was right and proper. It is clear Celluci ... |

| My concern exactly, that we will be shipping off unprocessed logs to China. Martin is creating the exact same situation in trade the US has with China in which we send off unprocessed natural resources and the Chinese send us manufactured products worth 100's more than what we send them. This is exa... |

To the comment below, all the gas is indeed coming from Alberta to process oil sands bitumen, unless yo... |
