February 26, 2008
by: David Orchard
Borden: In the 19th century there was talk of Northern Europeans having the role of carrying out "white man's burden" of bringing civilization to the heathens of the world. It was just plain old colonialism and in this article David Orchard makes the case that what is going on in Afghanistan and Iraq is just plain old imperialism.

February 22, 2008

Victoria B.C.: Our people have done what was needed to be done, they have done more than we asked of them and its time to recognise that little more can be done in a country that has a tradition of constant civil war. It time to come home.

- Manipulative record necessitates sober second thought
- Tuesday
February 12, 2008
by: Joe Hueglin
Niagara Falls, Ontario: The Harper government does not inspire trust when it comes to making promises about its intentions. Their record in the past suggests that they should not be trusted and committing our military to a war in Afghanistan indefinitely seems like a very unwise thing to do.
