As a kid I remember hearing news broadcasts about Japanese subs being sighted off Stanley Park and U-boats near Halifax and blowing up our transport ships in the North Atlantic. . Hitler had a huge military better armed tan any others and planes that could fly across the Atlantic and bomb Ottawa if they chose. And we are supposed to be frightened by a few returning jihad fighters? How insulting to sensible and brave Canadians.

But the good news is, as Prince Philip himself once told me, the good thing about school is that it's like beating your head against a wall. It feels so good when it's over. And I will celebrate Harper's fall with the biggest party of my life. I've told friends to expect it to continue for three days.

While harper is out banging his war jets, he is also trying to ram through changes to legislation which will enable the cons to steal what most feel is work product of media people. This man truly will not stop at anything. if they don't let him use their work product for free, he'll change the laws in this country.<br /><br />war is simply a way for stevie to try to get a few more votes. most people know how it turned out last time.<br /><br /> If Turkey, with the second largest standing army in Europe, isn't move one tank, one inch, past their border into Syria to save the people in the city which is about to fall to ISIS, then why do we in Canada need to sacrifice our young women and men, not to mention a shit load of cash. <br /><br />Things are very complicated in the middle east. Unfortunately harper and his herd don't appear to be able to do complicated. Ms. May, Mr. Mulcair, Mr. Trudeau, they know how to do complicated. .<br /><br />Now its time to go check under the bed for that ISIS person. I've locked away the chain saw and hedge trimmer and my machete. Out here on the west coast you just can't be too careful.

The US said, they did no such thing. What is Harper going to do, pound the rubble into pebbles? There is nothing left to bomb. Besides which, the bombing isn't doing the job. Now they are talking boots on the ground and we all know how, Harper treats our WW2 Veterans and our Veterans of to-day.<br /><br />Harper was itching to bomb Syria. You know, the Syria where little children didn't wake up in the morning because, of poison gas? The fool Harper that called Russia and Putin evil Communists? And then, Harper sells Canada to Communist China? Are the Chinese evil Communists too then?

She claimed that the NDP and the Liberals were on a teeter totter and that one would steal the votes from the other. Which in itself was not entirely wrong (at least it seemed to be the conventional thinking) except that she had predicted that the Cons would do really well in Quebec. The latter would have of course logically suggested that both the NDP and Liberals were doomed. Well, how did that go? <br /><br />If Chantal could get it so wrong about the NDP capturing the large majority of seats in Quebec, and she is supposed to be an expert on Quebec, it reminded me of all those financial experts who had failed to see the financial/economic collapse in 2009. No, I am not surprised at what she just said about Justin when I put it into the previous perspective. Harper will wear this bad decision: even Leon Panetta, former CIA chief, had said that it would take 30 years to defeat ISIS.
