A NATIONAL LOSS

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20080415.whillierstatement0415/BNStory/National/home?cid=al_gam_mostview

With the resignation of Rick Hillier comes the loss of something this country desperately needs, real leadership. Gen. Hillier was the pinacle of leadership in a sea of partisan baffoons (on all sides of the political spectrum) and silent bureaucrats.

Let us hope that his successor is cut from, if not the same, a similar cloth. As such let us hope his replacement is Lt. Gen. Leslie. I've met Gen. Leslie a few times and truly believe he will continue Gen. Hillier's legacy of leadership.

AMERICA'S BITTER PILL

Only in America would Barack Obama's comments below be considered controversial:

[He was trying to explain his troubles winning over some working-class voters, saying they have become frustrated with economic conditions:

"It's not surprising, then, they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations." ]

He's 100% right. This has nothing to do with being elitist, anti-god or anti-gun. This is an honest statement about how people, downtrodden and forgotten by successive US governments feel. I think, based on his comments, he's the most 'in-touch' of the US Canadidates. Makes we wish I could vote for him!

Instead of saying to people who do feel put out and bitter 'its ok, its just the american way' and continuing with business as usual (ie Clinton and probably McCain), Obama has said it like it is and isn't talking down to people.

I hope now more than ever he gets elected!

ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF CONSERVATIVE 'LEADERSHIP'

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20080401.wflag01/BNStory/National/home

This is a disgrace.

There is no other word for it. Something tells me that if anyone should be taken off the list its senators and MPs not workers, firefighters, or military personnel. After all its not MPs and Senators who actually make this country what it is, its everyday people who make extra ordinary sacrafices. That is what should be recognized.
