King will hopefully stay home and replay his bit for himself, then take himself to the woodshed for lying to his viewers.

Sad to watch.

It is a gross misrepresentation to claim that the Canadian system is working. The Williams case is one of hundreds of thousands of examples of very serious cracks in the foundation. People wait for a year to get operated on, . . . for ONE. Lack of facilities across the country, . . . for TWO.

AND it's getting worse, . . . http://pacificgatepost.com/2008/05/canadas-breaki...

It's a simple matter of enough money, taxes, feeding the system, and millions who pay nothing are depending on the system, . . . even when they don't live in Canada.

Windmills to replace oil? Someone isn't doing their homework. Wind farms are boondoggles, and a plight on the landscape. Ask Californians how they feel about thousands of broken down giant windmills, financed with write-offs generously provided by idiotic politicians and bureaucrats.

If Canada wants to counter the onslaught from the Obama fiscal lunacy that will impact ALL North Americans, it should consider nationalizing fresh water, ....... and SELLING IT.

‘Water is not for trade’ - This is a Canadian myopic and very misguided sentiment. Why is it that OIL is OK to trade, but WATER is not? Why is it that in Quebec, an area the size of England was damned around the Hudson Bay so that electricity could be sold to the U.S.?

The Canadian government should establish a national policy, and it should take control of fresh water sales.

The revenues from this infinitely renewable resource will enable funding of Medicare and Education at a time when the rest of the world's economies are heading into the tank.

Suggestion:

<a href="http://pacificgatepost.blogspot.com/2008/03/water..." target="_blank">http://pacificgatepost.blogspot.com/2008/03/water...

.... and don't believe the politically motivated and warped pretense that there is just not enough fresh water to sell.

The mullahs may have long feared that change would eventually come in reaction to their abuse of the population. Many have moved the proceeds of their pilfering offshore, “just in case.” Some have built themselves Los Angeles and West Vancouver mansions, in anticipation that the gun might eventually not suppress the crowds in Tehran.

The potential for change is directly conditional on the persistence and endurance of the youth filling the streets of Iran. It will be unstoppable if the demonstrations move to the poorer rural regions of the country.

Kevin,

Agreed. ... And yes, Paul makes a great deal of sense.

Also, there appears to be NO primary school where illegal drugs are NOT available.

Mr. Anthropic,

Very well said, "Legalize it. Tax it. Regulate it. Get over it."

There is no worthy argument against the repeal of prohibition.
