Members RA1 Posted May 16, 2013 Members Posted May 16, 2013 We could always have another go at the part of Seward's Folly he failed at the first time: buying British Columbia. Too bad. I like Vancouver and Whistler's peak. However our friendly Canadians seem to have things under control. Best regards, RA1 Quote

Guest rimchair Posted May 18, 2013 Posted May 18, 2013 Todays joke should be the right-wing (read 'conservative') Mayor of Toronto! ***credit: RawStory*** Reporters from the Toronto Star newspaper claim to have seen video of conservative Toronto Mayor Rob Ford smoking a drug that appears to be crack cocaine. A report in the Star published Thursday details the investigation of the video, conducted by reporters Robyn Doolittle and Kevin Donovan. “Working with my colleague Robyn Doolittle over the last two months, I’ve been investigating Mayor Rob Ford and allegations that the mayor has a substance abuse problem of some kind,” Donovan explained in a video message. In the process of the investigation, the two reporters had “an unusual meeting” in the back seat of a car behind an apartment complex. “We were shown a shocking video which appears to be real,” said Donovan. According to the Star, the video “appears to show Ford in a room, sitting in a chair, wearing a white shirt, top buttons open, inhaling from what appears to be a glass crack pipe.” “I’m f—ing right-wing,” Ford appears to mutter at one point. “Everyone expects me to be right-wing. I’m just supposed to be this great.…” and his voice trails off. At another point he is heard calling Trudeau a “fag.” Later in the 90-second video he is asked about the football team and he appears to say (though he is mumbling), “they are just f—ing minorities.” Quote

Members RA1 Posted May 29, 2013 Members Posted May 29, 2013 Not funny... I agree it isn't funny and our civil liberties are under attack but one site that I read said that FL spent $45,000 more than it saved in this process. Could there be some hyperbole somewhere herein? Best regards, RA1 Quote
Members RA1 Posted May 29, 2013 Members Posted May 29, 2013 This statistic also seems to be suspect. Every one of our Presidents has likely had one or more embassies under some sort of duress. How many ambassadors were killed and under what circumstances likely is the question. Not in terms of human life but in terms of political importance, the embassies have relative rank. Also, how many of them asked for help and were given the bureaucratic "brushoff"? As you know, AS, I am not picking on you. I am more than willing to read about some more "proof".
