Trudeau enacted the War measures Act in response to information of insurrection (the silent revolution) thereby preventing what may have been. Bush and company - the narcissist state of arrogance - ignored warnings and intelligence from many sources and allowed not just ONE ... but FOUR airliners to "be stolen" from under their noses, flown in controlled airspace and at LEAST TWO strike their intended targets. US smart missiles don't have that good a record. Yet, Colpy, you insist Trudeau trampled rights but Bush was a genius? Can I have some of what you're on?
gerryh
Well gerryh I am , and my vote counts .The difference is that instead of voting in Ottawa ,where my Canadian home is ,I fly to Beijing and vote in a Canadian Embassy .http://forums.canadiancontent.net/reputation.php?p=1004145
Yeap I have stated my point of view .......I don,t need to back it up mister .
Well I have no pity for you, you are way beyond being a lost cause...I really pity you.
You are an idiot. If he has a home in Ottawa, he pays taxes. Thats contributing...Which, as far as I'm concerned, shouldn't be allowed. YOu don't contribute to Canada in any way. YOu shouldn't have the right to vote in this Country.

The Silent Revolution?
I believe you mean the Quiet Revolution.........which had absolutely nothing to do with insurrection. In fact you (and I) would have approved mightily......The Quiet Revolution was the movement of Quebec society away from the fascism of premier Duplessis to the socially-concious modern entity it is today. It was the movement of Quebec from a rigidly Catholic, extremely right-wing, zenophobic character to one open to the world, with a safety net, free speech,.....a dawn of liberty, if you will. It is generally accepted to have spanned the time of Premier Jean Lesage, 1960 to 1966.
Nothing to do with violence.
In a free nation, one does not spend all their time watching their citizens......thus guys with box cutters kill 3000.
I consider Bush a serious danger to freedom within the USA.....if you've read my posts, you've seen my attacks on military tribunals, and the Patriot Act......
But Trudeau could be even more of a tyrant.....compare.....the Patriot Act in response to 3,000 deaths (Bush) and full martial law in response to.....0 (that's nil, ziltch, none, nada) deaths........who is the greater despot?????
I'm not defending him or his situation, just telling you not to be a bigot/racist.property taxes...whoopdeedoo..... He doesn't live here...he doesn't work here...... but I'll lay odds he was educated here...took advatage of our subsidized education system and skipped the country to work else where....will probably retire here to take advantage of our social saftey net for seniors when the time come.... doesn't contribute sweet frick all to Canada during his working years but will take advantage of all we have to offer before and after the fact....a leach in other words.
Resent has nothing to do with violence? Keep twisting, it Colpy. One of these times you'll find it really was dry....
Perhaps you should actually read something so you have an idea of what you are talking about.
The Quiet Revolution ended in 1966.
Try again.

Perhaps your should quit interpreting. It gets in the way of facts. We know anything that isn't your narrow little view on things is wrong. When did the dissent really get started, Colpy? There was no sudden decision ... no trigger. Maybe that's what got you confused. It started heating the first time someone realized Quebec's power within the dominion was waning and started to boil as Quebec started getting a taste of renewed power. Maybe if you'd realize you don't really know it all, you might be enabled to learn.
What's this all about , Risus?Well I have no pity for you, you are way beyond being a lost cause...
You know, I originally gave you a respectful, polite answer.....but you seem to think being obtuse is the proper way to debate......you never admit you are simply wrong about the facts even when that is obvious, you just get your panties all in a knot and start spouting nonsense.......
You just described you. Why is it so hard for you to see a side beyond your own? You're supposed to be educated. In what?
Obtuse.... Does that mean not so gullible as to readily partake of your version of facts?
So, you think "dissent" is a legitimate reason to suspend all civil rights? I'd ask that you think about that.
I think paying attention to sign was a risk that turned out to be worth taking. Do you think ignoring the signs thereby opening the doors to 9/11 was a wise course of action?
Yes, there was some "revolutionary acts" in Quebec before the October crisis. A couple of mailboxes were blown up. I believe a man was killed in one blast.......but these were not the reason martial law was declared........fact is "dissent" was closer to the reason....PET was a goose-stepping despot.
Well I do pay taxes not only for my home but also for what I earn here in China . There are also other ways that I contribute to my country but I will not go int details.Which, as far as I'm concerned, shouldn't be allowed. YOu don't contribute to Canada in any way. YOu shouldn't have the right to vote in this Country.
Okay, I throw down the gauntlet.......
Shouldn't be hard to win an argument against a guy that believes in carbon taxes in a recession..........or socialist dogma, either one........
Exactly what makes Trudeau so great?
Name his achievements......
Kneel before his image, lift your eyes heavenward, throw up your hands, and cry out in witness to his greatness....
(This should be worth a giggle)
One at a time now, I don't want to hurt myself laughing.
I'm going to bed.....rebuttal tomorrow......

Man, you are too fast in making accusations which are not based on facts .
STUPIDITY PISSES ME OFF.
