#2 Actually, CSIS has a good working relationship with US intelligence agencies and theyâre pretty highly regarded for their work.

My father had a problem with a former Pakistani employee and reported him to the Canadian authorities. CSIS contacted him back and asked him a series of questions about the guy. The agent also said that they are watching a lot of these people and they do acknowledge that it is a problem and even a threat within Canada, but they arenât supposed to discuss it publicly for âsensitivity reasonsâ (i.e. they donât want to offend anyone).

The main problem with Canada is the people in charge who either seriously donât have a clue, are outright delusional or donât want to do anything about the situation just so they can spite the US. Chretien is a vestige of the old Trudeau leadership, and we all know what he really thought of the US.

Point is, they know what's really going on, but are saying the opposite for a variety of stupid reasons.

I hope things change when Paul Martin takes over, but I donât really like him either. Itâs a shame that John Manley bowed out of the race because he really took this threat seriously. Still, anyone (except for Sheila Copps) would be better than the buffoon in charge of Canada right now.

#3 Amen SL. Chretien is treated like a god because he won several elections in a row. But in reality there was no alternative to Chretien in the east, and Ontario consistantly kept forming the federal government. In fact the last federal election had the lowest voter turn-out ever, to illustrate this. I never voted for him; never liked him from the beginning. He can't go away fast enough. Unfortunately, I have my doubts about Martin as well, but we'll see...

#4 When Mounties turn rogue... I expect that anyone losing their job due to this will find work in the U.S.A., perhaps with the New York City Police Department.

PM Cretin just plain gets on my nerves.

#5 I actually voted for Cretin the first time. Not because I really agreed with his policies or anything, but I was disgusted by the PCâs âis this the face of a leader?â campaign. It was pretty disgusting.

Then again, I was young, stupid and didnât know much about politics or the man himself and just about anyone seemed better than Kim Campbell.

Look how it all turned out. Cretin has been a disaster from the get go and an absolute embarrassment.

Youâre right, Rafael, in that there is simply no alternative and just the way the system is in Canada virtually guarantees that the Liberals will be elected time and time again. I like the Alliance, but they just donât resonate with voters in the East, who are much more left-wing. Wish the Right could just unify and make a united stance just to get those bastard Liberals out of office.
