Conservatives: Not our job to feed starving Canadian children

[Goober]

Spitfires!!!

You mean Sopwith Camels......

Those as well.

 

[taxslave]

I don't think so!

Don't forget this was the Canadian airfarce. We regularly have equipment that is older than the operators.

1. It was not "Conservatives" that said it, it was James Moore.

2. It was taken out of context.

3. Small "c" conservative give more to charity than anyone else..........

1. So if a Lib or NDP person says something that goes against the grain of Canadian values are they 'their own person' and not really expressing the attitude of their Party even though their Party has pushed values that reflect that same sentiment?


2. How was it taken 'out of context'?




3. Do you have a Canadian example?




Seems our Harper CONS just can't stop being wannbe Tea Partiers...............

Maybe she should be holding herself (and whoever the father(s) is(are) ) accountable. Maybe she should realize that if she can't afford to pay for that many children she should stop having litters of them! Having children is not the problem. Thinking that everyone else except for yourself is responsible for said children is a problem.

I agree...however that is not how she and many like her was brought up to believe. She believes somebody needs to pay for all her kids and all her suffering and somebody needs to be held accountable. Other than her and the fathers of course.

2. How was it taken 'out of context'?

When someone is talking about a specific breakfast program not being a good idea, and people turn it into 'they don't feel child poverty in Canada is the government's problem'..... the context may be skewed.

What did Moore say that goes against the grain of Canadian values?
And further to that, who decides these "air quotes:" Canadian values?

 

[grumpydigger]

since the Harper CONS have got their majority their MAIN goal is to change the Canadian values...hopefully people are smart enough to see this

Do you know this guy by chance?

Or this chap?

Or have you ever been in a dogfight with this guy.

I was going to say Brown but when I got the image, Billy Bishop's name popped up.
Brown, being the guy who is generally given credit for shooting down Richthofen (sp)

Yeah I know.

I think Canadian history kind of gave Brown the shaft and subsequently so did I by posting a picture of Bishop with the red Baron.

But let's face it Bishop is far more famous.


Have you ever had a beer with Brown or Bishop?

**** even Snoopy is more famous than Brown.

I wish I had but no. Bishop died in September of 1956.....about three months before I joined the RCAF.

There's a lot of controversy surrounding his claims.

I think he claimed 78 or 79 kills but quite a few people reckoned he was padding it a little. On the other hand other
people said he could read the slightest crosswind........important when you're flying an airplane where the top speed
and stall speed were separated by only fifteen or twenty knots

 

[petros]

Ultralights by today's standards.

Ultralights by today's standards.

Absolutely. A modern ultralight would probably out perform most of the fighters in WW1

Well without a doubt, padding or not, he is a staple of Canadian history. I would have been honoured to meet him.
