"Hands up - who believes terrorists hate us because we value freedom, democracy and the rule of law?"- Rest assured, my hand is down.

toronto kicks ass, but montreal, thats another kettle of fish.

shit better then me man!

i think being a professional destruction durby participant would be cool

goddamn it!!!!!!!!

I didn't think you were that ignorant. How do you figure there wasnt the diplomatic approach to our current situation? I meant in this current situation. I just realize how my post sounded. I am not saying that with for example Hitler there was much of a diplomatic solution. However, if countries didnt support him and realized before the Rhineland something that was right infront of them ( his ambitions that is) then they probably could have stopped him with much less bloodshed. But i am not here to make what if's, i am here to explain what i meant by my post.

Seriously, I totally want to join now. It just sounds so...awesome. i too want to join this giftmas... so long festivis, hello giftmas!

I have many friends and family who live in Toronto so i claim 50% of my opinion to matter ;)

Although ecnarf, is it honourable to invade, and control a country killing thousands of civilians? I find it funny that people call guerilla warfare cowardly, it's not cowardly, its the sometimes futile resistance to a horrific occupation. Roadside bombs are no doubt horrifying, however bombing, raiding, is just as horrifying. I'd say whats more cowardly is not useing diplomatic options, when they are availible, and they always are.

"Reports of "imminent danger" are greatly exaggerated. Best thing we could do to make Canada safer? Get out of Afghanistan." Exactly. Imminant danger is horseshit, and we still don't know the whole story yet on the materials, so seriously we cant say anything for sure right now. Id like to know who is saying that these citizens and non-citizens had training camps?

yay for exogenesis!

Coincidence? I think not...

I agree i was glad when i heard that it had been stopped. But id be weary and skeptical of anyone who starts giving you numbers on how many terror cells there are: "its a fact that many terrorists and terror groups (i believe the number is around 50) are in Canada right now." This is just what they tell us, it could be less it could be more, i just dont trust the government all that much. What im worried about though, is due process, i dont want us to end up like other nations ( we already have in many ways) and throw our liberty's away. Liberty is what makes a democracy a free nation, let's all try and make sure that we can keep it that way.

with the plan

like so much

possibly, i guess when we see some fine details we'll see if there are loopholes etc.

Oh see thats a big problem too, if we can't bring down the gov't by a vote of non-confidence then future PM's can ram-road any friggin legislation they want like in the U.S. That would friggin suck.

I totally agree, i was saying for more of the sake of argument that it wont necesarily happen, although it is likely. Its doublespeak.

I'll have you know Torontonians widely regard that as the ugliest building in the city. It's true they do, i remember going to see that school its funky-dunky, and i thought pretty cool, but a lot of them don't really like it.

Yah i dont want my streets littered with stupid ad campaigns for a year, i would be some pissed.

Thats just it, when the U.S. said it wasnt going to follow international law and the Geneva Convention they were saying this doesnt mean we're going to torture it just means we're not going to follow it. And we aren't necessarily going to torture, nor necessarily ( although id say likely) is the Karzai government going to. But if it does occur we or the Karzai government or the U.S. gov't will not be held liable simply because we just dont recognize it. EDIT: I think there must be some confusion over this whole thing, i have an article saying we wont be following the Geneva Convention and Cherry Poppin' Daddy has one that says the opposite, and i am for one comppletely friggin confused. Maybe it's that we will follow the GC in the actual apprehension and then hand the prisoner to the Karzai gov't? weird.

It's one of those "the spirit or the letter" of the law. So i mean it's breaking the Geneva Convention to torture inhumanely, well if we are sending over these prisoners to the Karzai government they will almost definetely be tortured. I understand, literally speaking, that the GC does not protect them, but in these situations it ought to be extended to them for protection. I know that, well it is the way it is, but it can change, and i think if we protect these people from torture its showing good faith for occupying their country in the very least.
