Travesty Of Justice

<b>4Canada</b> <br><br> I get the NYT Headlines every day in my email and have been reading Krugman's column for years by now and I'm, still looking forward to every new one. <br><br> He's hard hitting and right on the mark (I think) and not afraid to speak up. <br><br> Another voice in the wilderness worth reading is George Soros, <i>yes the self made billionaire and one of the greatest philanthropists ever</i>. <br><br> Try: <br><br> <b>The Bubble Of American Supremacy</b> published very recently. <br><br> Of course there are many more. Like <b>On Globalisation</b>, well worth reading. No kidding. <br><br> BTW Soros doanted 150 (or was it 250?) million US dollars to some organisation dedicated to defeat GWB. <br><br> Soros thinks he's dangerous and so do I.

I do like Paul, I don't read everything by him yet I can't really imagine having his viewpoint and living in such an insane world. One would think you'd constantly be questioning your own sanity. Is it me? Or, is it them?

Soros donated to MoveOn.org. I do frequent their site as well. They put out some Bush in 30 seconds ads. Their web viewers were asked to submit the ads and then they had a competion for the best. Maybe you know this already? Anyway because I'm living in the wilderness and still on dialup I didn't have the patience to watch all of them but the ones I did wait for were very good.

Krugman's lonely voice of reason resonates with many, many folks partly BECAUSE he is swimming against the current. How tragic that Canada's brilliant Naomi Klein may soon be forced to serve a similar role as a 'voice crying in the wilderness' should Canada make this tragic move rightward.

As a Yank who has always looked northward with admiration, respect (and - yea, okay; jealousy!), I'm confident that Canada would never move to the quasi-fascist extremes that we have here (though I am aware of that Alberta thing)...but closer "alignment" with the U.S. regime will, I am convinced, mean that Canadians themselves will have less and less choice in the matter. And THAT will be the real tragedy.

Thanks for the kind words, randyvo, they are most encouraging and inspiring. I wish more of my fellow Canadians saw, and felt like you do!

I agree Dave and I wish more Americans would also speak up because although we are waging our own desperate war to save our country, the American influence is spreading from continent to continent like a very bad epidemic.

I just had a two day discussion with a fellow about Bush, he is American and claims that Bush is acting in a Christian manner, thankfully saving the world blah blah; so I being a Roman Catholic and he also, declared that his argument was extremely flawed and of course I sited various text from our shared Catholic teaching to show him that this war is anything but 'just' and certainly not Christian...ok that isn't the debate here but the point is our argument was about whether Bush was acting in a Christian manner, finally when he could disbute my argument no more...his answer...you are clearly anti-American and are acting just like France and others....

So when all else fails and if we don't agree with the corporate global takeover, we are the enemy, we are anti-American....and I must say I never once said I was Canadian, nor made one reference to Bush being American, I did dispute his references to American history and how they saved us all from evil during both World Wars...but really it seems that certain Americans have tunnel vision and refuse to see that the selfish acts of a few are not helping the situation for the majority in the world.

Frustrating, you bet..

If I stand for my country today...will my country be here to stand for me tomorrow?

Thanks, Wheelan, for pointing out just one more of the astonishing inconsistancies of the ideologues. Without this mindset, how could people like the Busheviks get away with (to take just one example) responding to the 9/11 commission report that there was NO Iraq/Al Quida link by stating emphatically that, "well, we know there WAS a link" - end of discussion?

That last great cop-out excuse, "if you disagree with me you must be anti-American" is so pathetically common. I had one guy use it on me. It is very funny to be an American and to be called "anti-American", but the nonsense of this does not begin to register with such hard-core goosestepping 'patriots'.

What an absurd time we live in!

have they arrested the people who bombed the library in montreal yet? have they arrested the people who desecrated the jewish places of worship in toronto yet? oh by the way hows the health care system doing there last time i checked my doctor who once lived in canada said its goin broke and would be broke if canada had to pay for a real defense budget themselves instead of relying on america? please let me know if they,ve arrested anybody for hate sopeech when they shouted down israeli speakers in montreal . i know how canadians love to consider themselves sooo tolerant.

Yep the whole world is evil except for a few of our more intelligent followers who can see the light, which we happen to be shining for them, see clear as mud, you just aren't part of the intelligencia so you can't see it...you great big evil anti-American!

We are the only ones deemed worthy of making the decision about who will live and who will die,we have the technology because it is ordained thus, so we must use it to rid the world of all that we deem evil...if you aren't with us you are the evil enemy!

You're dishonest or ignorant to say Canada has substantial hate crime, financial, or health care problems. Furthermore, Canadians will continue maintaining and improving the national defence of CANADA, but refuse to become errand boys for imperial American, British, or Israeli force projection. Overall, considering the hard winters, Canada and Canadians are terrific, despite your breathless venting as if everything here was so horrific. Why not compare Canada to, say, Latin American nations that the US has forcefully oppressed. You have the sort of attitude that's typical, for example, among the unscrupulous denizens of Miami Beach penthouses who insist on manipulating, bleeding, and exploiting much of the rest of the World.
