. . . rose coloured glasses . . .
Thursday
July 5, 2007
by: Joe Hueglin
Niagara Falls :
The prime minister things that Canada is more unified than in the past 40 years. One wonders just what sort of information would bring him to that conclusions because it surely is not a realistic view of things.
Prime Minister Harper has committed Canada to war for two years beyond the current UN Mandate
Thursday
July 5, 2007
by: Eugene Parks
Victoria B.C. :
Canada is a lawful country and has engaged in this foreign adventure under a mandate from the United Nations. What we need to know is why is the reason for the mission some how becoming clouded with the fog of war.

European Union treaties and the affects on the Commonwealth
Tuesday
June 26, 2007
by: Philip Benwell BME

The United Kingdom has entered into various treaties with the European Union that clearly infringe on the sovereignty of the Kingdom and its subjects including Her Royal Majesty. Should we as Canadians or Australians be concerned about what this does to our constitutions?
