Good News: Global National viewers leaving Canada



Reported on todays episode (and I say episode because it's so fictional) of Global National they had a story on Canadians leaving the country because of the sponsorship scandal.

Apprently these were regular posters on the Global National website complaining about Canada's "Socialist Utopia" in this counrty. Well if the Sponsorship Scandal is causing Global National viewers anger about our "socialist country" then perhaps it's all been worth it :D

p.s.

Thank you Paul Martin (and George Bush for all the left wing Americans who are trying to move here) ;)

p.s.s.

There is no archive of last weeks topic where the posts I discuss occur however here's a link to the topic this week if you want to add a progressive voice:

Alliance Cons/Bloc damage our dollar with show vote



The Canadian dollar fell after Parliament passed a motion calling on Prime Minister Paul Martin's government to resign, ahead of a formal no-confidence vote later this month over a corruption scandal in Quebec.

The motion by the opposition Conservatives, instructing a parliamentary committee to recommend the Liberal Party-led government quit, passed in a 153-150 vote in the House of Commons in Ottawa. The motion sets the stage for the vote that could oust the minority government.

``It certainly intensifies political unrest in Canada,'' said Monica Fan, global head of foreign exchange strategy at RBC Capital Markets. ``This is very bearish for the Canadian dollar, particularly for investors who had been somewhat sanguine'' about the political situation. Fan, who is based in London, spoke from RBC's office in Sydney.

“It’s not a Christian-Jew thing, it’s Evangelical Christian vs. everybody else,”

Sooo..... Evangelical Christianity in government. Now it's being pushed through the millitary. So much for a free country...

“It’s not a Christian-Jew thing, it’s Evangelical Christian vs. everybody else,” he stressed. “The viciousness is as bad against mainline Protestants as it is against Catholics as it is against Jews. … For the last 10 to 15 years, maybe more, [the academy] ignored this growing cancer of Evangelical intrusion."
A sign placed on every plate in the cadet dining hall and in posters throughout the academy announced a Christian-themed program pertaining to Mel Gibson’s movie “The Passion of the Christ” and stating it was an “officially sponsored USAFA event.”
An Air Force Academy chaplain, Maj. Warren “Chappy” Watties, led a Protestant worship service, then directed the cadets in attendance to proselytize those who did not attend. The penalty for those who failed to accept the proselytizing was to “burn in the fires of hell.”
