Reduce Armed Forces

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle?
This is either an editorial to the Toronto (Red) Star or an article by one of the top writers for the Star but lately, I can not tell the difference. This article is nevertheless typical of writings of liberal authors in Toronto and more recently, major urban centres of Canada. I have chosen this article specifically because it exemplifies such liberal rhetoric and should be discussed. Changing Canadian values and shoving it into our faces is the task of this article as well as criticize Canada's military as to abolish it completely. This is a typical liberal fantasy which I am glad Bilal Abdullah has mentioned because this is a fantasy at the back of every liberal's mind. By trying to eliminate all Canadian values of the past, the Canadian Armed Forces are one of the few Canadian institutions left that stand that symbolize a Canadian culture and value that have not been tampered yet. This bothers progressive thinkers who want to move Canada into a direction of no symbolic value that eventually leads to unity problems in the country such as with Quebec and most recently Western Canada. Let us attempt to break down Abdullah's argument. "To spend money on the military is akin to tossing this money into a bottomless pit. Canada is not a war-like nation. We enjoy one of the the highest standards of living in the world and should use precious resources to further enhance Canadian lives." This leads to the previous case that was discussed that showed that liberals view enforcers of values as immoral and not human. The lives of the Armed Forces are just as important as any other. I guess liberal penny pinching of the Armed Forces is justified in this case. "We need a force that is perhaps as small as one-fifth of the present number." Military expenditures count for only 1.1% of Canada's GDP. Let us do the math. The author is proposing a $2 billion budget for the Armed Forces. To put things into perspective, this is the cost of the current gun registry. Not a lot of money for a functioning unit of people is it? How a bloated, bureaucratic mistake such as the gun resistry can be equal to a proposed budget of fighting, honourable Canadians is another topic in itself. "A truly Canadian force would be dispatched within Canada to aid victims of natural disasters and abroad to aid humanitarian efforts." Even if the Armed Forced are "forced" to only do humanitarian work, a C-130 Hercules, used frequently by The Armed Forces for specifically humanitarian work costs around $48.5 million. With a $2 billion budget, I am sure the author has this all though out. Are we to reuse all of our old equipment and have more of these atrocities? I guess the old liberal adage of reduce, reuse and recycle applies to our Armed Forces as well.

Officer Charged in Tasering of Teen in Police Cell

Liberalism at Its Finest!
This involves all of the previous post combined. Zero liability of offenders, spin doctoring, ideology and journalism that all contain the perfect example of why I continue to write on this blog. This article is about a police officer that has allegedly used excessive force on a young offender. "'I think it's excellent -- I think it's about time an officer has been charged with assault for Tasering someone,' said the boy's mother". This is the liberal mantra of how authority, specifically police officers, are always threatening their way of life. Liberal media, out of all things, helps portray this image even more and view police as "dishonest people" as this article states. The spin doctoring and journalism is quite phenomenal in this article in particular. The whole piece speaks mostly about the testimonial of the "victim" and his mother while only one sentence mentions how special this officer really is, recieving a medal from the Royal Canadian Humane Society for "rescu(ing) an assault suspect from a burning apartment suite". This man is a hero and awarded for it while saving an assult suspect. If he saved a assult suspect, do not you think that he will know what excessive force is? Police risk their lives every day to protect our freedoms and defend society against the real "dishonest people". This officer did everything in his power to ensure the welfare of the detainee while keeping his own safety in mind. This is dangerous work that officers do all the time. Unfortunately, this has been turned into a more serious case then it really is by liberals. It is quite a shame to see an officer of this calibre have to suffer under the hands of politics but I guess this is just liberalism at its best, treating police officers like dirt. If I were in his position, I would have given him more then just a Taser to the back of the leg but I guess that is why I am not a police officer.

US Deserter Bids to Remain in Canada

The True North Strong and Free?
Here we have a case of US war dodgers trying to find refuge in Canada. They must have taken example from the many terrorists and drug addicts that have tried the similar strategies to try to escape to Canada where judicial hearings will be more lenient toward their causes then their native countries. In this case, the United States of America, where if found will probably be sent to a court martial and never be heard of again. For starters, the United States Army has been an all volunteer service since 1973. Did these persons join the army thinking that they will not have to fight? How can they claim refugee status if they have volunteered for this? They can not even use the excuse thay they were drafted like when 40,000 to 60,000 U.S. draft dodgers fled to Canada during the Vietnam War. What is the excuse of these people? They don't wan't what they signed up for? This article is not trying to glamorize war but obeying the law, fulfilling obligations and having responsibility for one's self. You must finish what you start and these people have not done so. The second problem that was hinted at in the beginning of the article was the harbouring criminals from other countries as well as our own for liberal political benefit. Trudeau worded the Canadian constitution in such a way to include all 6.5 billion people in the world are protected by it as long as you are inside Canadian borders. Any criminal or war dodger is protected under these rights. Are these the type of rights that we want Canada to be known for? Keeping criminals safe? This may be the true north strong and free, but not a revolving door for criminals of other countries. The bottom law is that the people in this article broke the law and are trying to hide in Canada. The liberal media tries to make these people look like heros because of the circumstances around it. The law is the law and it has been broken. If there were any justice in Canada, these persons mentioned in the article would be sent back to their home country for judgement.

Book of the Month February 2006

Who Killed Canadian History? by J.L. Granatstein.
This book of the month branches off from January's book to explain the loss of Canadian integrity due to liberal governments. This case in particular deals with how Canadian history has been compromised by such policies such as multiculturalism. History depicted today is of Canadian white men through all of Canadian history as racists, bigots and sexists against all others. This is not only the policy of liberal governments but twist history for their own personal causes such as feminism and minority rights. History is not what it seems and J.L. Granatstein opens the lid on this liberal farce. Granatstein also discusses how very little people know about World War II or any significant events in Canadian history. All history is in today's society is an assortment of facts that do not correlate to any real significance but only to liberal causes. There are also suggestions as to how to correct the atrocity that is occuring in Canadian schools today in the text. This is a must read if you are wondering where Canadian culture and history has disappeared to as well as learning about the foundation of Canada and the history that matters to Canadians.
