    Therefore ... we should stay in Afghanistan

    I believe that the motion is well written and reasonable for any reasonable party to respond to. However, we are talking Liberals under Dion.. which doesn't mean reasonable. While the motion itself will very likely not be voted on if the pin gets pulled via the two other confidence issues before...

    Maj. Raymond Ruckpaul -August 29, 2007

    The Major traveled the Highway of Heroes today. Those who turn out in Northumberland County had only two hours notice before the plane landed in Trenton but we managed to turn out a respectable show of support for him. I just hope further west they were able to also respond rapidly and show...

    What MP Dr. Keith Martin didn't say about Afghan healthcare

    Accurate or inaccurate, Dr Martin's article did one piece of good work. It elicited a response from a government official which actually talked about real work in Afghanistan and the good Canadians are doing there. We need more of that ... a lot more! Patti

    Fallen Soldiers to get Special Tribute

    Afstan: A Liberal and a far left view

    <donning flack jacket> I personally wouldn't vote for Harper if you held a gun to my head. <removing flack jacket> However, I support our presence in Afghanistan. (yeah, believe it or not, liberal types do). The more I read of the media, the more I get angry at their ham-handed manner that is...

    CdnArtyWife thank you for the link to your hubby's blog. When you posted his entry about the ramp ceremony for Cpl Megeney the thought occurred to me that I'd like to see more of what he wrote. I came across another's post about the ceremony -- http://straightshootinghick.spaces.live.com/blog/...

    Response to the Ruxted rebuttal of Jack Layton in the Toronto Star

    :cdn: Layton showed me his attitude towards our military past and present when I watched him at the national ceremonies commemorating the end of WW2 held in 2005. The other political leaders picked up the wreath they were to lay and did so with some pride and reverence. Layton had a cadet carry...
