Re: al Qaeda claims involvement in attack - with help of Pakistani ISI

Benazir Bhutto’s death was a great tragedy for Pakistan and for the world. While the world mourns the passing of what may have been Pakistan’s best chance at true democracy, questions remain as to what happened.
While the government of Pervez Musharaf vehemently [...]

With the unfortunate slaying of Benazir Bhutto at the hands of the Taliban and Al-Qaida, I hope that finally, some of the leaders in this country like Jack Layton and Stephane Dion will finally realize how much these terrorists organizations need to be defeated.These people are very evil and will stop at nothing to murdering, [...]

The plaintive wail of the pipes
and the beat of the muffled drum
echo in the morning mist.
The Maple Leaf snaps in the breeze
above the bowed heads of the
mourners while John McCrae’s
immortal words are read.
As the bugler sounds the Last Post,
the youngsters fidget,
and look forward to playtime.
The oldsters shuffle, and look backward
to wartime.
The past and [...]

Re “Immigration, not Blair, changed face of Britain.” (June 26).
Hundreds of years of togetherness having failed to blend the English, Irish, Scots and Welsh into a British identity, it’s a little late in the day for British academics to start worrying over how to preserve something that never was. The last time that [...]

Re ” Harper softens his tone on war.” (June 23):
Surely there’s enough confusion among Canadians regarding our involvement in Afghanistan without Harper flip-flopping on the issue. We keep hearing that Canadian troops are in Afghanistan to liberate the people there from tyranny. We also hear that they are there to fight [...]

Re: The ‘Boycott Anti-Troop Toronto’ Campaign
Like all Canadians who support the soldiers serving in Afghanistan, I will never step foot in the city of Toronto after what you and the rest of city council did this past week and today. Shame on all of you.

Mayor Miller:
Leave the decals on.

Even if you don’t support the troops or the mission, let the emergency services show their support for the troops.

Mayor Miller:
Reference: Your move to remove Support our Troops Decals.
To quote comedian Ron White: “you can fix a broken leg…you can fix a broken nose…but you can’t fix STUPID.”
You have joined the ranks of Fred Rose. No need to tell you who he is…you probably have a [...]

Dear Editor:
Re: The ‘Boycott Anti-Troop Toronto’ Campaign
I am disgusted with the decision by the City of Toronto to remove the
Support our Troups Decal from emergency vehicles. This decal is a show
of support for the troops and their families. It isn’t about support of
any war anywhere.
I am cancelling a planned trip to Toronto [...]
