The sound of Canadians going about their regular business."== <BR/><BR/>I agree, Wrestler. But it's not the average Canadian I'm worried about. It's the Harper wingnuts who think we've had a 9/11, and who now will plan to ram through whatever civil liberties restrictions they've been drooling over through the history of their party. :-(Phylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847701912261320347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708375.post-1149489641762898872006-06-05T02:40:00.000-04:002006-06-05T02:40:00.000-04:00The right is so giddy because they think the anglo...The right is so giddy because they think the anglos will finally rise up and kick the brown Canadians out (at least the non-Christian ones).<BR/><BR/>What's that sound?<BR/><BR/>The sound of Canadians going about their regular business.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708375.post-1149471612956709332006-06-04T21:40:00.000-04:002006-06-04T21:40:00.000-04:00Dare I say we dodged this because of multi-cultura...Dare I say we dodged this because of multi-culturalism.<BR/><BR/>Because of multi-culturalism, we have Mounties and CSIS agents the speak any one of the 141 languages spoken in Toronto, know the cutlural norms of those in these groups and have connections back to the old country. I will bet that at least a few of those 17 were either undercover or informants on the inside.<BR/><BR/>And remember, CSIS originally started watching these guys after a group of teens discovered the questionable eschanges on internet sites and reported it. Chances are those teens were Muslims too and knew these guys were wrong. I can't imagine that happening without the multicurlturalism and understanding in our country right now.<BR/><BR/>No, this plot was <I>stopped </I>by multiculturalism, not caused by it.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06941875334878452635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708375.post-1149439005095015512006-06-04T12:36:00.000-04:002006-06-04T12:36:00.000-04:00Did you hear Michael Enright and his guests on "Th...Did you hear Michael Enright and his guests on "The Sunday Edition" this morning? First, his guests seemed to suggest (which Michael seemed to accept) that "everything has changed" and then that multiculturalism "doesn't really work." And *then* Michael talks about how Canadians have now "lost their innocence" this weekend.<BR/><BR/>Gah! It's like we're those virgins who keep re-virginating ourselves after every sexual experience, so we can "lose our innocence" for the nintieth, the hundredth time!<BR/><BR/>So I wrote the program, reminding them that we Canadians were NOT asleep during 9/11, nor the Millennium terrorist plot, nor the Air India saga -- and remember the FLQ crisis??<BR/><BR/>Human nature being what it is, of *course* there are always people plotting to kill someone else because they don't like society's rules.<BR/><BR/>The arrests demonstrate that the law enforcement and legal system ARE WORKING. Sure, they'll miss the occasional one, but they STOPPED THIS PLOT.<BR/><BR/>Our freedoms are preserved WITHOUT OUR DESTROYING THEM OURSELVES.<BR/><BR/>But you can bet Harper and his crowd will be trying to destroy them with much more vigour now.Phylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847701912261320347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708375.post-1149434116367517102006-06-04T11:15:00.000-04:002006-06-04T11:15:00.000-04:00harper will use their fear, whether it's gays or m...harper will use their fear, whether it's gays or muslims.<BR/><BR/>i doubt these "sources" adding info on the arrests. i wouldn't be surprised if csis is playing the crowd.riley doghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13208748097542964030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708375.post-1149432675856958832006-06-04T10:51:00.000-04:002006-06-04T10:51:00.000-04:00Don't you get it, CC?
