Thread Name: BS: Give em shit, Canada
Subject: RE: BS: Give em shit, Canada
I am Canadian with relatives on both sides of the border, 1776 notwithstanding we can even talk to each other if we so choose. If the terrorists had knocked down the CN tower and destroyed other parts of Canada would some Canadians feel the need to worry about some persons rights who is still a citizen of another country. When the twin towers were destroyed with loss of life it created a knee-jerk reaction, if you don't think the reaction would be the same in Canada, then I don't think you know your country very well. Reactions to acts of terrorism usually do result in acts that would not have been done in times of less stress. After 10 years of military service and over 65 years under my belt I do not believe that I have the right to criticise the foreign policy of another country. As for our own countries deeds, at least the present gov't did something, if the previous gov't were in power they would still be forming a commission to assess if there was a need to form a commission to investigate acts of wrongdoing. Give your heads a shake the corrupt liberal gov't hasn't been out of power that long. Remember how many years it took to finally have an inquiry into the liberals theft of millions of dollars?
