From where I view things that opinion couldn't be further from the truth. The esteam of Canadians abroad has been in steady decline after the fall of the Cretien government. Every year we were proud of our "A" list in our standard of living and our peaceful tolerant nature. I now believe, and I'm sure that statistics would back me up, that this country went into steady decline in the last five years under the Harper regime. I have travelled in a lot of places and have always made sure my wife and daughters wore their Canadian flag to show their standing. Now we open ourselves to ridicule from those who are aware of our right wing leanings. I'm not very proud of Our Country at the moment and even less after the Harper Government's rejection of the Palestinian push for Statehood. The list of things that make us a laughing stock nation is too big to list here but suffice it to say, it is huge.From Copenhagen to Guantonimo, our shame will be everlasting and the damage irremovable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7180592942896724433.post-3862064598313066572011-07-07T11:08:23.977-04:002011-07-07T11:08:23.977-04:00snip snip: Steve Harper and the boys made this man...snip snip: Steve Harper and the boys made this man (Don Cherry) a lot of money.

Well, that's certainly a pressing public health issue and a most worthy cause to pursue, but, um, Don? Isn't placing scores, perhaps hundreds, of portable defibrillator units at public expense to protect the lives of Ontarians something a progressive, SOCIALIST government would do???ThinkingManNeilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10233707013338083180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7180592942896724433.post-31764384946829195812011-07-07T09:43:12.216-04:002011-07-07T09:43:12.216-04:00I fear that I'm turning into someone who can&#...I fear that I'm turning into someone who can't separate the politics from the person.<br /><br />I'm aware that right-wing people are capable of the ability to be reflexively polite and sunny to people in their immediate vicinity and in their own circle of family and friends.<br /><br />It's when people willingly and deliberately hold on to inhuman thoughts and beliefs out of spite, self-interest, or stupid bull-headedness, that separates a decent person from an ideologue. And most studies have shown that the authoritarian, violent, unthinking personality types occupy the right-wing more than they do the left.thwaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15399550285738440669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7180592942896724433.post-77759776796071124142011-07-07T08:30:42.395-04:002011-07-07T08:30:42.395-04:00that is exactly how i feel...my family has always ...that is exactly how i feel...my family has always liked don cherry..not everything he said but as a person...my uncle played for the boston bruins and he and my aunt knew him personally...<br />now it is not only sad but also dangerous...he has the ear of alot of the public...maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14978676800774567657noreply@blogger.com
