Comments on: Bush admin back to blaming Canada for terrorism [page fixed] http://www.abandonedstuff.com/2006/04/30/bush-admin-back-to-blaming-canada-for-terrorism/ News, Insights, and Humour Mon, 08 Sep 2008 02:13:45 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: Abandoned Stuff by Saskboy » Blog Archive » Kill those mosquitoes & Terrorists http://www.abandonedstuff.com/2006/04/30/bush-admin-back-to-blaming-canada-for-terrorism/#comment-1682 Abandoned Stuff by Saskboy » Blog Archive » Kill those mosquitoes & Terrorists Sat, 03 Jun 2006 21:38:57 +0000 http://www.abandonedstuff.com/2006/04/30/bush-admin-back-to-blaming-canada-for-terrorism/#comment-1682 [...] Let us go back one month to a story brought to you by the US right wing government. “Canada is a haven for terrorism,” they said, and CSIS who has jobs that rely on the public being willing to spend money on forgeign and domestic threat intelligence, eagerly agreed in the media. That should be a clue, because the only time CSIS wants to be in the media, is when it serves their goals personally, not necessarily all Canadians. Did Superman want his identity and methods revealed, and to stir up a media fuss when the bad guys were underground? I think not. The real good guys don’t like media attention, they only like busting the bad guys and having the resources to do so. Today a group of about 20 homicidal male idiots, likely manipulated by a few pursuasive adult terrorists, were caught in Ontario trying to assemble a large fertilizer bomb with an unstated target(s) in mind. Were these youths and adults terrorists? Most certainly they were. Does the presence of 18 arrested Fundamental-Islamic terrorists in Canada, the Khader family, and a mistaken arrest of Maher Arar make Canada a terrorist haven? No, it is not proof of Canada being a terrorist haven. Canada has problems with our immigration system allowing some people who are criminals to slip in without detection, but that doesn’t mean our immigration system is broken. {It’s broken for entierly different reasons.} Our immigration system needs more resources and also to process the obviously non-threatening immigrating grandparents and spouses of landed immigrants more quickly, so we can focus on keeping out criminals. Stop deporting families with Canadian children, and start deporting only drug dealers, gun runners, war criminals, legitimate suspects of terrorism, and mosquitoes.

Todays events don't change that either. You're blowing it way out of proportion. A moderately sized group of whack jobs were stupid and tipped the authorities off as to their deadly plan of destruction. That happens every year, except the usual suspects are biker gangs, or other gangs that kill hundreds of people every year. The total terrorist deaths in the country from the past 5 years totals likely less than a dozen. If it were a haven, don't you think we'd have heard of a successful attack in the past year. You're being played by CSIS and the Cons. who want to pour money into a resource that already has about as much as it needs here. Yes I can Caught ‘Em. Todays events don’t change that either.

I hate to be pessimistic, but I just don't see how to make it work. Luckily the nuclear option is still on the table, right? Scruffydan -

A lot of Canadians watch US TV and news. It has me wondering if Bushboy & Co are working with the Harper to brainwash Canucks into thinking that the Harper is as liberal as the Liberals.
