My friend calls this angriville, here is a funny video to get everyone to chill.

[parsley]

Harper talked publicly about how long the Liberal's war committment in Middle East would extend. He consulted Parliament. He spells things out.

He talked about the arenas. In public.You know about the discussions and you are talking about them! Iggy would reveal his deals AFTER the election.

harper said he would not form a coalition with the Bloc. He didn't.

Iggy did. Iggy signed on the bottom line a short time after he lost the election. He'll do it again. He wants the office, not the service.

Harper is a a decent guy. I don't agree with everything he does, but basically he won't sell Canada down the river to Libya.

Iggy would sell Canada to Bangladeish or Yemen if they could round up some votes for him. That's how I view him.

If you were to do a personal farm deal with Iggy or with Harper, there is no doubt in my mind who I would want to sign on the bottom line with. Ask yourself who you would want for a partner. Pars

Harper needs a majority to show what he will do FOR this country instead of always negotiating with a bunch of hacks.

When the US economy crisis hit Harper never had a clue what to do. They had to scrap their plan totally to keep things on track in Canada. We have to thank Paul Martin who had Canada in position to get through a bad stretch.

[HFL]

Paul Martin????? Please. Anything he did was on the backs of the Provinces and local Municpalities.
Parsley.......Hear Hear!!

Newguy.

If the conservatives were allowed to gut every single program like Paul Martin did with the majority under Chretien, the conservatives would not have had a deficit in the last two years.

Canada might have hurt for the short term but in the long term canada would have been closer to debt free.

"thank Paul Martin who had Canada in position to get through a bad stretch"

Canada was indeed in a position: bent over. So, here's Credit to Paul Martin: "Thank you Paul Martin for Adscam". Parsley

[newguy]

Chrietian said we would not go to Iraq and Martin told US banks we were staying our own. Looking back they saved Canada Billions.

I will take a look at your links. Thanks.

Now that you are entering an area that I have spent years looking at, I hope I can provide you with some links that helped educate me.

First, you must understand one very big issue:

The "radioactivity" coming out of these reactors and spent fuel pools contains "HUNDREDS" of different radioactive isotopes - not just iodine, cesium, plutonium, uranium. Dr. Gordon Edwards has an excellent presentation at: http://www.ccnr.org/stockholm-2007/

"A picture/slide presentation which is extremely educational." MUST SEE!

Japan's Fukushima meltdown is already worse than Chernobyl. The one thing that can be guaranteed is that the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Assoication) has put a tight noose on the information coming out. Every day, the releases accumulate. From a BBC news article March 25 example of their lies:
"Levels of radioactive iodine in the sea near the tsunami-stricken Fukushima nuclear plant are 1,250 times higher than the safety limit, officials say.

The readings were taken about 300m (984ft) offshore. It is feared the radiation could be seeping into groundwater from one of the reactors.

But the radiation will no longer be a risk after eight days, officials say."

As I said, iodine 131 is only one isotope of hundreds being released. Two - it takes 10 half-lives before levels reduce to negligible levels. Iodine 131 will bio-accumulate in the thyroid gland causing thyroid cancer (for one) see link below about documentary Chernobyl Heart. Pictures/video are worth more than words.

"Chernobyl Heart" - the consequences to health, and future generations, as a result of Chernobyl:

You may have to unblock popups on yellow tab top of page. It is not good! I have been watching here for days, and levels are up and down, up and down. Radioactive isotopes from Japan are making it to North America.

It may take a few years, but this disaster will have an effect on shortening life-spans, increasing cancers etc, around the world. Japan is contaminated (wide-spread), and has only been spared the worse by the "direction the wind is blowing". If it blows-back onto the island, things will change fast.

Not that I'm ra ra Paul Martin, but his biggest problem was Chretien backstabbbing. Other than that he was no idiot and aside from other things should be credited with putting the country in good shape, he made Chretien look better than he was while finance minister. Not sure of his role if any in adscam! If he were Liberal leader I'd consider a vote for him today.
Although, he may have intended to do things for the west but it didn't happen either.

[stubblejumper]

We in the west should be like Tom and friends in Alberta and form another Conservative party because the one we have now isn't working.
