Stock in our former prime minister Chretien keeps going up - he found the balls to tell Bush tht we wouldn't go to Iraq with him. If only Tony Blair had been so resolute.

They are leading the charge in Afghanistan as part of the NATO mission, which was authorized under Chretien. The refusal to follow Bush into Iraq was, in part, because of the failure to get authorization from either the UN or NATO.

Please, explain you to me now: What political affiliation belong you to, REALLY? I read that you say that your location is: "Wolfsschanze". Was it not the bunker of the Fuehrer? Ja? Therefoer I wonder if you are a Nazi?

Now to Kanada: We must sing the song together from the South Park episode that is called "Blame Canada". It cames to my mind suddenly. Like a blitz.

Also you must know the reason why Kanada needs not to go to IraK:

"Canada's proven oil reserves were estimated at 179.2 billion barrels as of 2007, placing it second only to Saudi Arabia.

Over 99% of Canadian oil exports are sent to the United States, making Canada, not Saudi Arabia, the United States' largest supplier of oil."

This I copy from the Wikipedia source.

When I was 20 I considered joining the (Canadian) army. After deliberating for the better part of the summer I decided I was ready to do something for my country, but the recruiting officer said they weren't currently 'hiring' and that he was being 'laid off' by labour day weekend.

That's what kind of a military we have. Although they did deploy a mobile Tim Horton's unit to Kandahar so our troops could have their daily fix of shitty coffee.

Also, the Brits were getting thier butts kicked so badly in that ill fated war that shortly thereafter they signed a peace treaty and all went back to how it had been before the war.

To view it [1812] as a US victory is pretty absurd.

Thats a mischaracterisation. For most of the war the major British forces were busy with Napoleon, so Canada was defended by a majority of locally recruited troops and militia. This included many "United Empire Loyalists", who had the same colonial origins as the citizens of the US, but a different viewpoint on their relationship with mother Britain. Many of them originated in the US, having retreated to Canada after losing the war of independence. There were also plenty of French-Canadians fighting under the British flag, even while Britain was at war with France.

US government expected to walk in meeting little resistance. Instead they found the locals were loyal to Britain and put up a spirited defense that caused the invasion to rapidly grind to a halt.

You would have thought the Americans would have learned from this. Then again, perhaps not.

First of all, anyone who referrs to themself as "The" Billyvassi has some serious issues that should be dealt with before debating politics on a porn forum.

But let's cut to the chase: Are you suggesting that not one of the millions of American GIs in World War Two were volunteers? Do you mean to tell me that each and every one of the several hundred thousand men who joined up on December 8, 1941 were conscripts??? Or that the Army that saved Europe and your beloved Commonwealth went to war unwillingly?

Go back to your Tundra, Billy. You know nothing about History, World Events, or neighborliness. Neither do you know anything about decent looking women, judging by the crackwhore in your avatar.

Your amusing and the fact you got worked up enough to fire off in a grade school "that avatar looks like a crackwhore" gives me a boner

you cant be reached.therefore i wont try and root out the cocks from your ears long enough so that you can reasoned with, as you appear to dig having cocks in whatever hole you can fill for the time being


as for the whole "i see iraq as"..ditching out on moving.

i see it like. well, you know some people have that drunken asshole friend who, sometimes when you go out for beers, has always been the clown to pick moronic fights because hes a tool when he gets some booze in him?
generally he/she is sober,good person...stand up people...
.... but once and a while you'd go out for a few wobbly pops and bam, couple hours later he is shitfaced, picking a fight with a dumpster in the alley hes so drunk. ends up punching it till he crys and the cops show up and pepper spray him ...

next day you get a call and everything is back to normal "fuck bud, thanks for hanging out dude, what did i do last night?"
still hang out with the person, even love their kooky antics..but everyone knows they get kinda stupid sometimes.

thats what america invading iraq was sweetheart

If you'd ever bothered to read (or were even able to read) any of my prior posts, you'd know that I'm a lifelong Democrat. Suggesting that supporting one's Country in time of war is rooted in some narrow ideology clearly reveals your ignorance and intelectual lazieness.

Going into Iraq without a coherent plan was one of the worst blunders in modern American Statesmanship. But pulling out willi-nilly like a bunch of scared little girls would be disasterous. As it stands right now, the Western World is probably in for a century of warfare with the Muslims. if we were to pull out with our tail between our legs, that figure would double, maybe triple.

As for Afghanistan, you forget the participation of other nations like the Dutch, as your Countryman Lance points out. Hell, even the Japanese are trying to get into the act, going so far as to amend their pacifist constitution to do so. Joining in on a fight when even the kids on crutches are getting theirs in isn't much to brag about, Billy. Standing by the people who rescued you through Two World Wars, right or wrong, speaks volumes. Tony Blair got that. Your guy didn't.

The fact that you of all people think you have standing to criticize anyone's spelling just proves my point. I don't know who taught you the phrase "geo-politics," but clearly they didn't teach you anything about the subject.

Billy, stick to making crappy porn with Arizona Hookers. It's what you seem to know best. Leave the politics to people who actually understand the issues and can debate without resorting to knee-jerk dogma, regardless of which side of the issue they take.

Terrace Mutiny
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Terrace Mutiny was a revolt by Canadian soldiers based in Terrace, British Columbia during World War II. The mutiny, which began on 24 November 1944 and ended on 29 November 1944, was the most serious breach of discipline in Canadian military history. The mutiny was triggered by the rumour that soldiers based on the home front would be deployed overseas.

Root causes

Main article: Conscription Crisis of 1944

As had occurred in Canada during World War I, conscription was a divisive issue in Canadian politics. During the election campaign of 1940, Liberal leader William Lyon Mackenzie King promised to limit Canada's direct military involvement in the war. This was possible in the early years of the war, and those who were conscripted were deployed on the home front. However, as the war progressed, mounting losses combined with a lack of volunteers put greater pressure on the government to send conscripts overseas. Facing pressure from his cabinet, in late November 1944 Mackenzie King agreed to a one-time assignment of conscripts for overseas service.

At the time the Mackenzie King government was reconsidering its conscription policy, the 15th Canadian Infantry Brigade was stationed in Terrace, located in north-west British Columbia. At that time, the town had less than 500 residents. The 15th Brigade, which numbered approximately 3000 men, was composed largely of conscripts, with a significant number of French Canadians, most of whom were uninterested in fighting in any theatre of World War II. The morale of the 15th Brigade was low, largely due to the poor relationship between the soldiers and the local populace, the isolation of the post, the damp weather, lack of recreation, crowded facilities, and the distance from home for most of the men.

Mutiny

Many of the officers of the brigade were in Vancouver when news that conscripts might be deployed overseas reached soldiers stationed in Terrace. Many of the soldiers began to disobey orders of those officers who were present. On 24 November 1944, members of the Fusiliers du St-Laurent who were part of the 15th Brigade moved to resist any efforts to deploy them overseas. A number of the men seized weapons. The mutiny spread to other elements of the 15th Brigade as news came in of resistance by conscripts of other units stationed elsewhere in the province.

By November 28, the mutiny had begun to wane. The officers, led by Major General George Pearkes, were able to regain control and restore order to the troops. Many of the men returned the seized weapons. By November 29, the mutiny had exhausted itself and some units, such as the Prince Albert Volunteers, were already being shipped out of Terrace.


Cover-up

The government and military were fearful that the mutiny would spread and impair the war effort. The authorities pressured censors to apply federal defence press censorship regulations more strictly. These efforts were largely successful. The mutiny did not come to be well known among the general public and the event came to be an obscure event in Canadian history.
