A CALL TO ACTION TO ALL CANADIANS
| Message Board > Controversy and Quarantine > A CALL TO ACTION TO ALL CANADIANS |
| Lordpatch User Info... | A CALL TO ACTION TO ALL CANADIANS Saturday, August 12, 2006 at 11 a.m. Parliament Hill, Ottawa Rally to demand that Prime Minister Harper call for an immediate ceasefire and rush humanitarian aid to Lebanon. PLEASE HELP PUBLICIZE THIS EVENT TO ALL CANADIANS Print the details above and put up posters throughout your community. It can be difficult to find a spot to post larger signs. Little quarter sheet posters are easier to work with and can be very effective if posted at bus stops, at pedestrian crossing signals or anywhere that people are forced to wait. I remember my frustration in 2002 when Israel re-occupied the West Bank. I was not well connected then and I would hear about the rallies after the fact in the newspaper. Polls show that Canadians are not pleased with Harper's position on this. Put up a sign and give them a chance to show it! Many demonstrations have been held over the last few weeks but were mostly attended by Lebanese and Arab Canadians. So if you are NOT Arab, please make every effort to attend this demonstration. Our fellow Canadians of Arab origin need our support for their just cause and we all need to show Harper that we don't want our government to take orders from Bush. If you are confused about the Ceasefire proposals and Harper's position, please visit http://www.canpalnet-ottawa.org. All the information you need is right there on the front page. Print this PDF file out also and make copies:http://www.montrealmuslimnews.net/LebanonNews.pdf - Wed, 9 Aug 2006 7:21am | ||

| Doc User Info... | You know Lordy no one here cares about this issue or your crusade. I admire you for standing up for your convictions but they are not going to hel in this situation and I'll tell you why. Harper and the conservative government don't want to anger Bush because they want to be in on the cheap oil when the US conquors the Middle East. Plain and simple. U think we should concentrate on convincing the government to withdraw from OPEC, begin filling our own fuel needs domestically and then cut off all exports of U235. I think that we would find suddenly that Canada had a much louder voice on the world stage - Wed, 9 Aug 2006 1:27pm | ||

| kyle User Info... | Hahahahahaha... CNN. What a fucking joke of a news network. Right before I clicked on the 'post-message' button, I thought, "I bet someone will call me either ignorant, redneck, fascist, or some combination of the three." Congatulations Andrew, you win the tiresome cliche award in the lame, half-assed insult category. I find it extremely amusing you called me a narrow minded redneck, simply on the grounds that I am obviously not a socialist. That was (unsurprisingly) very narrow minded of you. Can you tell me WHY I am a redneck? Or narrow minded? Tsk tsk. I usually expect better from the politburo of Victoria. Asshole. - Wed, 9 Aug 2006 6:07pm Edited: Wed, 9 Aug 2006 6:12pm | ||

| kyle User Info... | P.S. The Harper/Bush comparisons are getting tiring. If you do your homework, you'll find out Conservatism in Canada and the U.S. have very different histories and are different ideologically in several areas. Bush is a dink. Harper is a Conservative Canadian politician. Comparing Harper to Bush is an unfortunately very effective scare tactic used by the Socialist elite (or not so elite in Lordpatch's case) in this country to sway votes in the direction of the Liberal and NDP parties. Words like "fascist," "American," and "redneck" get thrown around to give anything even remotely connected with Conservatism a bad connotation. It is a cheap, un-intellectual SCARE TACTIC, and it turns the uneducated and truly ignorant into zealots of the socialist cause. Look at what happened to imperial Russia. Socialists are cowardly opportunists. End of story. - Wed, 9 Aug 2006 7:12pm Edited: Wed, 9 Aug 2006 7:27pm | ||
| Doc User Info... | While the history of the 2 parties (Republican and Conservative) may be quite different, there politics are rather similar. Both are socailly conservative on issues like abortion and hosexuality and both favour capitalist/corporatist economy. The direct Bush/Harper comparison is a little stale I'll agree, there are similarities in their polotics (though Harper wins the inteligence and personality prizes hands down). As to that "Facist" buzz word bull-shit, try reading up on Facism, the similarities between it and the currnet polotics in North America (of most of the parties) is scary. I commented on this in the Lordpatch ID theft thread. I'm not saying that I support facism (I don't) or Socialism (Marx was a twit) but I think that we need some serious changes in our political system and Conservatives are NOT the answer. Whar would really benefit us right now would be a few years of government with a majority seat in Parliament. Years of ineffective minority governments in Germany and Italy paved the road for Hitler and Mussolini to gain power. If the people loose faith, they will begin to look for another answer and then God help us all. - Wed, 9 Aug 2006 8:53pm | ||
| kyle User Info... | I can't take you seriously. Learn how to spell. - Wed, 9 Aug 2006 9:02pm | ||
| Doc User Info... | Good comeback. Nice rational arguement. TWIT! - Wed, 9 Aug 2006 9:25pm | ||
| Andrew User Info... | kyle, where did i say anything about you? It isn't all about You, ya know? Calm down my friend, have a midol. (=) :) - Thu, 10 Aug 2006 5:23pm | ||
| kyle User Info... | My apologies, I misinterpreted your response. - Thu, 10 Aug 2006 11:37pm | ||
| MikeyCade User Info... | If you don't want to read things that will offend/piss you off, maybe the Controversy and Quarantine section is not the best place to visit. And, really Kyle, your arguement has good points, but then you go saying something like socialists are cowardly opportunists, or, fuck all socialist assholes. Making your views just as unreasonable as the ones you hate so much. And lastly, politburo? Really kyle, enough with the Russia comparisons. - Thu, 10 Aug 2006 11:50pm | ||
| Mofo User Info... | So MikeyCade, by your rational its okay for Andrew to go hurling insults like "fuck all narrow minded rednecks that believe their fucking 6 o clock cnn news" but, its not ok for kyle to respond to such an obviously biased (and desparate) insult? - Fri, 11 Aug 2006 10:29am | ||
| MikeyCade User Info... | I didn't say that, I spoke specifically to kyle because his statements interested me. I didn't want to have to address each person specifically because I assumed you'd all understand that while it was directed at kyle, it was a general statement. Is everyone just looking for a fight? - Fri, 11 Aug 2006 2:32pm | ||
| kyle User Info... | Yeah. You wanna go? - Fri, 11 Aug 2006 3:19pm | ||

I honestly dont give a fuck about politics, the only thing that i spend this much time thinking about is how they get the caramel in a caramilk (tm) - Thu, 17 Aug 2006 11:07pm | ||
