Where is Canada heading?

A once progressive society is now lost in bad politics

By Thomas Terrio

                 The more one studies the politics of the day, the more one becomes distressed in the direction of the country.  While the government holds onto an explosive situation in Afghanistan, the media assisted Opposition runs loose at the mouth with rampant tales of scandal regarding Taliban prisoners handed-over to the Afghan government of Hamid Karzai; a government suspected of torturing Taliban prisoners in Afghan prisons.

                 For eight years, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and ISAF, the International Security Assistance Force mandated by the United Nations, has propped up the government of Hamid Karzai, which has resulted in nothing more than a miserable 133 Canadian soldiers dead and a $20 billion plus war deficit. As far as the Afghan people are concerned, the Canadian Armed Forces and its NATO allies are simply one of many armies passing through in the course of a torrid history.

                 What does Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff and the NDP led by Jack Layton expect the Conservative government of Stephen Harper to do, set up a Canadian Guantanamo Bay in downtown Canada at the expense of more taxpayer dollars to prevent Taliban prisoners from being tortured by the propped-up government of Hamid Karzai?

                 Yes, why not build a prison in downtown Canada for the evil Taliban who throw acid in young girls faces, who destroy elementary schools and subjugate their masses with terror and the fear of God; yes the Taliban who have nothing more in mind then to kill and maim Canadian soldiers and bring jihad to our very doorstep.

                  We could build the Taliban prison in Vancouver, Calgary or Toronto; forget Montreal, Quebecers would never have it. After all, we know how to do it thanks to the federal Liberals. We could set up a two for one sentence structure for time spent in custody and give the Taliban a comfortable prison, I mean corrections facility. We could offer them computers hooked-up to the Internet, healthcare, television and the right to practice their own religious fanaticism, simply to demonstrate our dedication to free speech. We could even provide cash in brown paper bags to their families back home in Afghanistan, to help support the opium trade while they are imprisoned here in Canada. The cash could be conspicuously handed-out by the Liberals and NDP at local mosques. Let’s not forget the right to vote.

                  Why not build a new university as well in Canada, for men only, with no music of any kind allowed, to educate the Taliban. Perhaps a Taliban detainee, once released after serving only one third of a 10 year sentence or less as an enemy combatant, could run as a Liberal or NDP candidate in the next federal election. All at the expense of taxpayers; after all, isn’t this the Canadian way?

                 In my opinion, the Opposition led by the federal Liberals is nothing more than a eunucharchy of socialist losers attempting to confuse the public into supporting a new Green Shift, carbon neutral, harmonized sales tax regime, based on a policy of globalization, which will reduce the Canadian taxpayer to a slave of the United Nations General Assembly; where the parliament in Ottawa would be overridden by agreements amended at the UN, such as the Kyoto Accord. Many people are not aware, the Kyoto Accord was the first agreement signed by the Canadian government which could be amended at the UN—without the consent of the Canadian parliament.

                 In my view, the Opposition should be focusing on issues which relate directly to the well-being of Canadian citizens, rather then the state of Taliban prisoners once handed over to the government of Hamid Karzai. The Taliban does not recognize the Geneva Conventions, only radical religious dogma based on Shari‘a law.

                 As for Canada’s reputation in the global community, it is being discredited as we speak by liberal socialist cowards such as these. What about child poverty in Canada or the discussion of Canada’s own energy security aside from the Americans and the Chinese?  What about the national debt and the faltering healthcare system?

                 The sooner we realize Afghanistan is a blood sucking money pit in the sand, the better-off Canada will be. How did capturing or killing Usama bin Laden and the destruction of the Taliban and al Qaida, turn into re-building Afghanistan? Indeed, how can one re-build what was never built to begin with?

                 In the past six months, if it were up to Michael Ignatieff and the Federal Liberal Party of Canada, Canadians would have spent another half-billion dollars more on yet another federal election and a worthless inquiry into Afghan detainees. What nonsense. Yet, the federal Liberals have the audacity to complain about the Conservative management of the federal deficit. What hypocrites. A once progressive society is now lost in bad politics. With loyal Opposition like this, who needs enemies like the Taliban or al Qaida?

 

Canada still needs the monarchy because of the existing eunucharchy in Ottawa.

Nothing is more useless in developing a nation’s economy than a gun, and nothing blocks the road to social development more than the financial burden of war. War is the arch enemy of national progress and the modern scourge of civilized men.
