    They didn't because at that time, Canada had the largest standing army in the world, they could not nuke their own land and they needed maple syrup, hockey players and beaver

    Yawn... Another piece of propaganda written by corporate PR firms to justify murdering millions of people in the name of "democracy" when the real agenda is the imperialism of the world. Wake the and pull your head out of your anal orifice. The US foreign policy since WWII has been a plague on the world, and on the American people. Each and every one of us Americans share in the same of the murder of 10 million people in the wars, coups, and illegal incursions on other countries for wars of profit. It makes me sick. Anyone who supports these wars for profits is as evil as Hitler or Stalin themselves.

    The purpose of the police is to keep the masses under the jackboot of government so the wealthy can rob them blind and to keep the wage slave system going into the foreseeable future.....

    Have you ever noticed that the day light is longer during the summer months than the winter months ?

    Have you ever noticed that liberals actually believe they lose an hour of time when we go from day light savings time back to standard time. :roflol: No (*)(*)(*)(*), they really believe it.

    The U.S. didn't just decide to develop the most powerful and capable Military in History....we were kind of forced into it.

    Two World Wars....Soviet Expansionism...etc.

    Now....does anyone here actually think the world would be a better place if it was under Soviet of Chinese rule?

    Perhaps we should ask all those Chinese kids in that square awhile back when....oh wait....they are all dead.

    Seems a bit hyperbolic to me.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Also hyperbolic.

    Yes or no-do you believe law enforcement serves a valuable function in society? Note Im not asking if you "like" them.

    Being a libertarian, I realize it is a tactic of government to keep the wage slaves stepping and fetching... Hey lets make these idiots turn their clocks forward and backward for no reason.... if they fall for it lets tell them the wealth will trickle down....:roflol::roflol::roflol::roflol:

    What the HELL are you talking about???

    I live in Mass. and in the winter on a cloudy day it get's dark at 3:30 pm.

    Fortunately they moved forward the date of Daylight Savings thus in the Spring and Summer people have more light to stay out and do things and have fun.

    In the winter because of the kids going to school they need extra light during the early morning.

    If you live down south it's not as big of a deal...but up here it is absolutely needed.

    It "could" if it were properly administered and used to keep the peace.. As it is, it does far more harm than good.

    Basically to protect the lives of those flying.

    When the inconvenience is measured against the possible disasters....well...there you have it.

    So your premise is that things would be better without a police force than they are now?

    Have you been paying attention to what Baltimore now looks like, with police standing down?

    Seriously?

    Your nation's streets are a riot with racial tensions not seen in 50 years, your education system is (*)(*)(*)(*)ed, your tax system, electoral systems are (*)(*)(*)(*)ing jokes, you have 500,000 criminal Mexicans streaming across the border every year and you are losing the war on terror...and your issue is daylight saving time.

    Weather and climate ARE major things on the total scale of things.

    What makes you think that the climate changing cannot present some of the most significant problems we can possibly imagine?

    That would explain defensive weaponry but not offensive weaponry.

    I recently read a powerful case that the F-35's and F-22 Raptors are far more advanced even than the fighter jets built by our allies...… the implications of this is that America is quite well equipped to be the world's number one mass murder detective!

    http://www.politicalforum.com/canad...orrect-abt-f-35-being-best-our-air-force.html

    Could P. M. Stephen Harper be correct abt the F-35 being the best for our air force?



    I have ran for public office as an independent three times.

    In 2009 I decided to join Canada's Liberal Party partly because I really like the fact that Mr. Stephan Dion proved that his party takes climate change very seriously.

    Also, I was extremely impressed by the way Mr. Michael Ignatieff responded to the 2009 budget. He termed it a relatively "liberal" budget considering that it was tabled by the Conservative Party and P. M. Stephen Harper.

    It immediately became obvious that the centrist Liberal Party is the place where somebody would fit best who believes that our political opponents should be given credit....... if and when they actually deserve it.

    Does P. M. Stephen Harper deserve credit for making it clear that he prefers the F-35 over any other jet?

    Here is a specific case where America and Canada and our allies could cooperate to rescue populations that are in serious danger.

    What I am proposing though would be done through private sector film production companies and cooperatives working together. Also...… this sort of project would require cooperation by the leadership of some Christian and LGBTQ groups if part of the idea was to rescue 937 people through the film that reasonably well represented the populations in most danger. Refugees that are LGBTQ are in every bit as much danger as Christians....(perhaps even more so)..... so if ten percent of the population is LGBTQ then 94 of the actors chosen..... should be LGBTQ..... to be fair! (In an emergency it is difficult to be perfect so let's say 70 to 110 rather than the specific 94)!


    http://www.politicalforum.com/canad...ts-take-937-those-syrian-refugees-canada.html

    Mr. Justin Trudeau, let's take 937 of those Syrian refugees to Canada?

    The police is usually justice, protection of people. USA empire of evil. The USA constantly for the sake of own profit plunders other countries, overthrow the power, kill people by combat drone etc.
    And after that someone asks, Should America be the World's Policeman?
    The truth the wise speak about rich, their cynicism is boundless. They for the sake of own wealth will commit any crimes...

    That is certainly an idea, I do applaud you for coming up with an innovative idea, and one that combines various groups for good. I would never have thought it up.

    It may be plausible (i'd hope it was), but my concern is that Syriac Christians are fairly orthodox, and socially conservative in a region where LGBT (dont know what the q stands for) is frankly scorned. I don't know that they'd want to cooperate. And thats not just Christians but the regional culture generally.

    You as a kiwi have benefited enormously from a strong US presence. As a small nation, dwarfed even by Australia-I'd think you would realize this.

    Empire of evil? Really?
