But I have to agree that it is a nice scrabble word you used to put a name on us. But national anthems don't have their place in a sports game. You want to think about something else than your life or than this war, and they put you national anthems...

I am a Qu?b?cois and I'd like some excuse for this word, obnoxious. We didn't change the names that include the word 'America', unlike the French fries stuff and I'd like to see if the americans still french kiss...

I wonder if it was Canadians or Pakistanis who would have droped a bomb on US soldiers, by accident, what would have happened in the american public opinion.

"North Korea exports missiles" That's nothing new. Besides, the first exportation of the US is weapons or military-related. I don't see why the Americans are fussy about other countries having nuclear military capacities, since their country has the most and the most weapons and their economy...

I don't mean to defend the chechen commando, but what the russian military is doing in Chechenia is also terrorism in my opinion.

Left or right would have been just good. Republicans vs Democratcs is a US concept. Here, Democrats would still be considered to the right of center.

Well it is a theory, because in those cases here, if that happens, you can be sure that the media will talk about it. They won't make the mother a kind of "superstar" by getting her on interview on national television and they'll probably won't even show the tapes (that's private stuff), but...

I don't why that story has gone on international TV. The same thing would have happened in France, Germany or South Africa and no one would have cared

Chr?tien is not a socialist at all and that question dosen't matter anyways. You don't need to be a socialist, anarchist, all the other ists than capitalist, to critisize the western world's policies. I've seen a lot of capitalist people, a lot of bourgeois (I worked in a lawers office) saying...

... when I was a KID, not a pid (what's a pid anyways ?) Cheers

When I was a pid I used to go at a woman's house. She looked after me while my parents were working (downtown Montr?al while our house is in the suburbs). She was from Chile, she left Pinochet. She didn't talked to me about it, because I was too young to even know what was Chile, but I recall my...

I saw parts of that movie, on TV. I don't wee it anti-american at all and I certainly don't see why people started bashing themselves on the other thread, especially when they never saw the movie wich is an extrapolation. I saw it as a message saying "Sept. II is one thing, but the rest of the...

On the other september IIth, I973, perhaps more dramatic than last year for millions of people, Pinochet took power in Chile, overthrewing democratically elected Salvador Allende.

I don't know what happened to Canada in the last week (Kyoto and now marijuana), but I like it :)

This s indeed a good news about Germany. They were (and still are) deeply affected by the floods in Europe. The summit in South Africa isn't only simply about environment and how to protect it, its about devellopment, energy, etc... Its a shame that President Bush, of the United States, isn't...

Finally, Jean Chr?tien is putting his boxers. The Canadian Parliament will sign Kyoto before the end of 2002. Global warming is a fact (despite some private US lobby at the Earth Summit trying to persue that is don't (???)), northern Canada is litteraly melting up, ask farmers of Saskatchewan...

The I994 strike killed people's interest in MLB in Montr?al (not in baseball, like some people like to say).That strike and its consequences is the reason why not much people show up at Expos games. Again, people here disaprove MLB and its mentality, not baseball. some people just can't figure...

It is a classical quote, but he is more dangerous dead than alive.

I'm not out of my mind, I'm just questionning things I don't really get. Things like showing tapes of Al-Qaeda members testing chemical products on dogs. Showing dying dogs on CNN, a world-wide broadcaster with an american point of view (does that seem paradoxal to you) under the label : "This...

Hello, I saw something on television that was originally aired by CNN. Its tapes from Al-Quaeda, showing them testing some bacteriological or chemichal stuff on dogs, and also showing Bin Laden visiting his troops, military demonstrations, etc, etc... There is a pretty big media halo around...

Is the State and religion is separated in your country ? A sermon to God is obsolete anyways, I'd rather make a sermon to citizenship. Atheist president or not, if he/she don't do the job, get out, if she/he isn't responsible in a national and international view, what's the point of being...

I read in the newspaper today, and I still don't know why did they bother toprint that stuff, that the US Government will spend 30 millions dollars in order to convince the 'young' people not to have sex before marriage. The reasons : try to put a stop to unwanted pregnancy and all the bad side...

This will be just a little 2 cents, I'll write something more detailed later on tonight (it's 1:00pm now) but about taxes... my province is the place in North America where people are the most taxed, but we now enjoy the best employment-rise in North America now, people are investing more money...

Pretty peculiar that the tpic is 'The American Freedom ?' and that it turned out into a debate on the gun issue. Personally, and that is my opinion and I don't know numbers or economical impact of having guns at house, but I'm strongly against it. What's the use ? To get back to the original...

Well I don't know what is GST, so... It was more of a question than a "I want it serious" stuff... Well, some Canadians have private health insurance, I guess, but that is for what the free health-care system dosen't pay, mostly "secondary" products. Free Health-Care, in my province...
