    Canadian company wins Canada Student Loan contract

    http://biz.yahoo.com/cnw/061222/resolve_cslp_contract.html?.v=1 Well I am glad the conservatives appointed a Canadian company. It is kind of weird the nationalistic liberals had such an insatiable appetite for US firms which totally ran many of Canada's key sectors under their tenure. I am...

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/6108574.stm I wonder if there is any scrutiny of airport employees in Canada?

    Liberals, Tories in dead heat

    http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20061017.wxpoll18/BNStory/National/home I would agree with the bolded quote that Harper is catering mostly to a fringe group and hence the downward trend. Conservatives simply do not have the numbers in Canada they do in the US and so Harper...

    Canada [Harper] unhappy about U.S. handling of Arar

    This is a good step by Harper. I give him a B+ for this one. He should also have asked for monetary damages for Arar. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20061006.warar1006/BNStory/National/home

    Two Months Before 9/11, an Urgent Warning to Rice

    The difficulty with the neocon approach to 9/11 is that history needs to be totally rewritten to accomodate their version. Pre 9/11 Bush was not a nation builder and had no concept of international relations. This is from Bob Woodward's book...

    Bob Woodward on teh Bush White House

    http://www.nytimes.com/2006/09/30/books/30book.html?pagewanted=2&ei=5094&en=ef30f7bcfda57099&hp&ex=1159675200&partner=homepage And these are the people who conspired to create 9/11. Not a chance. One does have to worry about what Harper is trying to emulate.

    Liberals condemn Musharraf's anti-Canadianism

    Pakistan provided significant support for the Madrasas that trained the Taliban and they also provided the Taliban with continued military and political support pre 9/11. Pakistan still supports the Taliban and this is contributing to the increasing escalation in Afghanistan which is killing...

    Ottawa's $2-billion hit list

    Here are the cuts. Kind of like throwing peanuts at an elephant. These cuts probably took about 5 minutes to decide on and some are particularly stupid. And I am someone who believes that with technology we can slice the federal bureaucracy by 50%. 1) Cuts to museum assistance and the end to...

    What right does the public [Canadians] have to know?

    http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20060922.wxcna-main23/BNStory/National/home Canadians in general seem to be quite content living in a permanent state of amnesia about government affairs. Justice John Gomery wrote a scathing report about government corruption and the need...

    Pakistanis Find U.S. an Easier Fit Than Britain

    Justice minister hints at jail time for pre-teen offenders

    This is a justice department that does not pursue white collar crime or prosecute corrupt government officials. This is just a continuation of liberal stupidity. Apes could do a better job running Canada...

    Only 32% back PM on Mideast

    The conservatives have also slipped in the polls. My impression is that their continued support is due to the fact there is no liberal leader. Once there is a defined opposition I cannot see Harper surviving. Canada is moving in a scary direction that is not in the best interests of the...
