Canadian authorities have arrested US president George W. Bush in Ottawa.

He has been charged with several offences under Canada's War Crimes Act.

Vice-President Dick Cheney has mobilized the American military and all border crossings between the two nations have closed. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article7390.htm

DICK CHENEY IN CHARGE OF WHAT ?

ROTFLMAO

Re: RE: Should Canada indict

I don't think you realize how much economic trouble your country is really in, Martin. European economists have been comparing you unfavourably with South American states that are wards of the World Bank. They are starting to sound the alarm bells.

I don't think you fully realize how angry the world is at the US either...not just over Iraq, but over a host of things ranging from the landmine treaty to Kyoto to AIDS to GM crops to the war on drugs. That makes it very difficult for even sympathetic foreign leaders to deal with the US because their people really don't like it.

We gave George Bush two dates when he could come here...this one and another in January. Everybody thought he'd take the later one, but he chose this one. He did that, at least in part, so that the protestors would have less time to organize.

A week before the visit it was suddenly announced that day two would be in Halifax. Do ya think that George really wanted to say thanks three years later? Probably not, it buggered up those protestors though.

The real purpose for this visit was to soften up Europe before Bush goes there. Fewer protestors on the news looks like Canadians have accepted this guy.

That's all being done because Bush knows that he's hated and he knows how weak his position is.

Now was the time to say no to this man...to his wars and his weapons and his rogue nation foreign policy. It was the time for Canada to step up and make demands. If Bush refused to meet those demands then, "Sorry buddy, come here and we'll bust you for war crimes...probably best if stayed home."

The world would have backed us on that. It would have set a lead they could follow and would have impressed the hell out of other middle powers. Instead Martin folded up like a house of cards.

Old news, however, I will let you in on a little secret:

Every 30 or so yrs, the American Dollar is inflated just a tad to cover the expenses. The run up in the 70's allowed the for the redemption of bonds with cheaper dollars.

Only fools have bank accounts with dollars for the most part, REAL ESTATE, BLUE CHIP STOCKS, GOLD, SILVER and DIAMONDS is where the smart money resides when the Gnomes of Zurich and Wall Street start to play.

I realize the world attitude, I TRAVEL, but the majority of the electorate here in the States doesn't care.

I would like to to get with ANDEM and you and some other sometimes on the forum where we could treatise the differences and similarities between the States and Provinces and why certain attiudes have developed! I believe that there are three levels to the complex hate and love relationship between Canada and the US and even regions inside the respective countries where cultural attitudes are different:

1. Govermental Level
2. Business Level
3. Personal Level

How about it?

American's like to harp on about the whole defense thing, how we'd be taken over by Iceland if it wasn't for the U.S. What they ignore is that that's how they want us. If Canada mobilized on serious military buildup, the U.S. would do everything they could to convince us that we don't need to, they'll protect us. They like us not being a threat, then they slam us for it.

We need to remind them, and ourselves even moreso, that we SCRAPPED a fighter in the 1950's that would only recently have been obsoleted by the American made equivalent. I wonder what led to that....hmmm. :?:

Have you heard of the Industrial-Military Complex?

Re: RE: Should Canada indict

They'll learn eventually, Facts. The churlishness of the right in the US has repercussions.

I was just reading on another board how great it was that Bush was extremely rude to Jean Chretien at supper the other night. Funny...Georgie has to go and beg forgiveness and ask Chirac for help soon. It's on his itinerary. Do you think for a second that Jean's good friend Jacques won't be aware of how his good friend was treated?

The truth is that Chretien was well-regarded by all of those that Bush now has to go to, hat in hand. His actions will have repercussions and he's not enough of a statesman to realize that.

He's from Texas-explantion enough!

Re: RE: Should Canada indict

On November 30, as President Bush visited Canada to meet with Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin in an effort to improve the two countries' strained relations, right-wing pundit Ann Coulter and CNN Crossfire co-host Tucker Carlson ridiculed the United States' northern neighbor. On FOX News Channel's Hannity & Colmes, Coulter said that Canadians "better hope the United States doesn't roll over one night and crush them. They are lucky we allow them to exist on the same continent." On CNN's Wolf Blitzer Reports, Carlson stated: "Without the U.S., Canada is essentially Honduras, but colder and much less interesting"; he went on to say that instead of following politics, "the average Canadian is busy dogsledding." And on Crossfire, Carlson referred to the "limpid, flaccid nature of Canadian society.

Sick

Sadly, free speech even covers those who probably never went North of St. Louis.

When is it time to indict Putin?

If they ever did go north of St.Louis they would be given more than a cream pie for a greeting and a lesson in jouranlism by a comic.

"Hello, Mr. Bush, PM Rev. Blair here, gotta bit of a problem, theres 2 million Russian Troops in Nunavut and were a little low on ammunition right, now!"

I guess next summer when I visit Canada, I will learn to read the Cyrillic Road signs!

Oh Christ... another (explitives deleted)american who is under the impression that we NEED "americans" for defence. Give your head a shake. We didn't need the candy ass, chicken shit yanks in WWI or WWII. Just remember who through their hat in from the begining and DIDN'T make money by supplieing the enemy at the begining of the wars.

Parrish was right!

 

[Ten Packs]

Christ - only a matter of time before you showed up here..... pfft.


Have fun, guys.......

 

[Rick van Opbergen]

gerryh I don't think that's the intention of Martin's post.

 

[Reverend Blair]

RE: Should Canada indict

Why is it immediately assumed that we'd have to go to the US for help, Martin? Russia is even more prone to international influence than the USA, considering that they are trying to modernise and westernise even as Putin leads them back into dictatorship.

 

[no1important]

We should start getting more friendly with China, we may need them to counter balance America.

It is only time before America will come and steal our resources. After them always losing with Softwood and never giving up fighting us, the beef ban, potatoe ban that was on etc. They are no friends of us. Yet they take our fku shots and cheaper pills. Such hyporcrits.

The time has come to reduce our trade dependcy with America and start making new friends who won't screw us. China needs oil, steel, wood etc. Increase trade to them then it reduces our need to trade with America. As America will continue to screw us. Once there house building costs go up, power black outs , no clean water, the american people will rise up against their government and they will come begging for our resources or invade us to steal them. Thats why we need Big "Red China" on our side. They can protect us.

The Americans are scared of China. America talks about human rights, so on and so on but yet they wont go free Tibet or Taiwan. I know there is no oil but there was no oil in grenada or Panama either.

OH Wait! America only goes after who they think they can beat. I am sick of America being the world bully and they must be stopped.

China is quickly becoming a major power and it is "booming" over there now.

Sorry Rick... it's EXACTLEY what he meant. I see it more and more all the time... the "Canada would be a comunist country if it weren't for america"..... "America is the reason we won WWII...without us(america) ya'll would be speakin german"......

 

[moghrabi]

I agree with gerryh. It meant that way to me too Rick. Maybe because us Canadians are getting used to this kind of "hidden intentions".

 

[Rick van Opbergen]

Maybe ... but I have spoken many times to Martin, and it seems to ... I don't think he's such a person ... for crying out loud, he's a Democrat! :wink: (or at least, that was my impression, I recall him saying somewhere he really dislikes Bush or something in that manner)

 

[moghrabi]

Well what I said is it sounded to me like he meant it that way. But we can be all wrong. We have to wait for him to come online and clarify it. Not fair to blame hom when he is not here to defend his argument.
