Colvin's testimony was alarming and the Conservative Party response, true to form, abysmal and disgusting. But there are shoes yet to drop regarding Afghan prisoners. So far the discussion seems to be around what happens to prisoners after Canada hands them to the ANP or ANA. The next shoe to drop will be when the stories come out about what Canadian soldiers have done to Afghan prisoners. Right now...

Canada is at war. It may seem hard to believe at times, given our remoteness from the conflict and the distinct lack of impact on most Canadians’ daily lives. But when our soldiers in Afghanistan are not helping provide schools, health clinics and training to the Afghan army, they are helping defend Afghan population centers against a predatory and nihilistic enemy. And when that thuggish enemy,...

The NY-23 special election is now over , again, but for the absurd conspiracy stuff LOSER Doug Hoffman is peddling to his know-nothing base so he can raise money for 2010. Congressman Bill Owens has gotten two excellent committees , given that his district includes Fort Drum and 100 miles or so of border with Canada -- Armed Services and Homeland Security. But here's what's more interesting than all...

The Conservative Party of Canada is showing its true stripes this week. On two equally disgusting fronts. First, the Tories are defaming whistle blower Richard Colvin because he implicated that government employees in both Defense and Foreign Affairs tried to bury the torture of Afghan detainees in Kandahar's prisons. Second, the Tories are continuing their relentless pursuit of the Jewish vote by...

I was going to call this blog entry “How liberals REALLY think” , but then I remembered how the liberals’ Canadian lamestream media division has been apoplectic this week and writing up a fake “news” story drummed-up by liberals and further lefties, concerning the Conservative Party sending out junk mail and (the lefties and their media say) how the Conservatives insinuate...

The United States and its imperialist partners are losing their war of conquest in Afghanistan and a further escalation is required. Canada’s Conservative Party government now faces the thorny problem of bringing its policy into line with U.S. plans. General Stanley McChrystal, the head of the U.S. armed forces in Afghanistan, says more troops are needed if the invading forces are to prevail,...

Subject: txt intl libs sclm bbro lbrty - The Social Democrats in the September German elections for the Bundestag did worse than in any election since the Second World War.

, The Big Dollop had a right good chuckle to himself when reading an article in the Times relating to the apparent demise of Margaret Thatcher which was understandable when the subject of the report actually featured the sad passing of a cat named Thatcher – Moggie Thatcher. The mis -understanding arose from a text message which was sent by John Baird, the Canadian Transport minister to a friend...

The Liberal's problem in nutshell is this. The Conservative party is part of larger conservative movement and very notion of liberal movement sounds well odd. Conservative party draws strength from the movement and movement in turn draws strength from having a party that reflects their values. There is no liberal movement in Canada and the Liberal party, especially under Ignatieff, has done nothing...
