Ag Canada to discontinue trees for farmsteads

[wilagro]

But, but, but...who or what are these big bad expensive jets to be used against?...North Korea or Iran or perhaps Martians?

We are becoming a nation looking for enemies to blow our money on.

You don't remember Afghanistan? Or Bosnia? No, of course not.

How's about all of these...

If we're going to continue to put our troops in harms way(and we will) we have a responsibility to give them the best tools available to get the job done.

It never ceases to amaze me how many Canadians hate the military.

As to the prisons, did you know that since 1996 the Feds have been putting criminals who have a sentence of two years or less under "house" arrest?

And how many of these go on to commit crimes, sometimes serious ones while they're under this "house" arrest? Lots of them. Remember the guy who just shot up the Eaton Centre in Toronto? Of course you don't. Well he was one of these guys under "house" arrest.

But yeah I understand, you'd rather get your welfare trees than lock up people who are a danger to society.

We come back to north against south so now we
know why we need to beef up the troops. Just in
case they find their way out of the bush and go
ape over my nice trees.

Trees improve the macroclimate and so if you
like to breath be happy that I am spending every
spare minute beating weeds with my disc hoe.
