I want to... but it seems they don't bother to even listen to their own people, what's a simple Canadian going to do...

I think we totally pissed them off with our Olympic Hockey win.

I've never seen such a pressing need before now, but then again the country is so caught up in quiet and private interests that they could build a nuke plant and people would just pass it off as a new factory! More jobs, thank goodness, the locals would think. We're such a sleepy, peaceful country. My folks would rather watch Seinfeld and movies than pay the least bit of attention to pressing problems, and when one comes up, ignoring it and silence seem the preferred methods of dealing with it.

Our culture is so effectively divide and conquer that we can't see past our friendly cliques to even meld a collective patriotic spirit against oppression. May as well go watch a Leafs game then! This time, I say not. Before a month+ ago I didn't care either, so I won't presume judge my fellow man. I will say that it's no longer the time to hide from the facts that will soon bludgeon us. It'll be a "Hey, what happened? Thought the government didn't really exist here" kind of thing. So sad.

This is their plan...


No matter how much you protest or call or vote or email, you are going to get the same response the Americans did. "We the Goverment will tell you what you need"
First they have to build it so the people can wake up. Then will see what happens.

When fighting the monster, don't become the monster. Thoughts of murder access the gates of heaven not. Justice though, there's the rub. God will repay. If they see the whites of my eyes first, I guess I'm the fortunate one. I'll be more use on the other side anyway

Oi, yes I do ... it's at the bottom of the article, but true should be included in this thread. I wonder if private mails, a general address, or multiple mails are best?
