When I hear Kerry, it seems to me that he's pandering to the same kind of isolationist sensitivities that led to the gutting of our military. He talks large about his military record, while claiming that the US shouldn't be 'over there', while claiming he will hunt down terrorists and kill them (over there, perhaps?) I admit, just the fact that he appeals to a group of voters that is highly responsive to self-destructive policy (Central and Eastern Canadians) makes him suspect.

I hope it doesn't come to that. Canada is so ****ed-up that, in geopolitical terms, we respond to a threat by chewing our own nuts off. I was not joking when I said we are unable to defend ourselves. The threat to us all is very real, and a strong military is just one part of the required response.

You're welcome to come up for a visit. And since my favourite beer is draught, we'll have to split cab fare home.

Curling? With the NHL in lockout (bunch of millionaires arguing about how to split up the money they get from the fans who don't get a place at the bargaining table!), maybe I'll check it out. But it looks to me like a game invented by people who don't get out enough. Picture shuffle-board played on a frozen bowling lane with granite rocks?? [/font]
