Can’t See The Forest For The Trees
Ian @ September 30, 2006 # No Comment Yet
Bullying is not something we should ignore. Too many are now dead because we have ignored it, and perhaps this is just one more example of Man’s Intolerance to Man, simply because they are afraid of us. Why I haven’t a clue really but it does make you wonder at times. I see Stephen Harper with his vehemence or George Bush and his, and I wonder, what the hell did Gays ever do to them? What is it that makes them hate us Gays so much?

Public Apology
Ian @ September 29, 2006 # No Comment Yet
It is refreshing to see that when someone or some department does something wrong, that the people in charge assume responsibility and acknowledge it publicly. More is when they apologize for the mistakes and show that they are attempting to correct the problems that gave rise to the incident. True, it isn’t going to get [...]

Tell It Like It Is?
Ian @ September 28, 2006 # No Comment Yet
I am tired of seeing tax dollars pissed away on phoney staffing when in fact we don’t need 1 RN’s per 4 patients. We need to have more orderlies doing their job, more practicle nurses than we need an RN. I spent over 100 days dealing with the hospital care and I watched my father give up because of it. That isnt to say we don’t need RN’s but we need to make all nursing reasonable and responsible, as well as make it responsive to the needs of the patients.

Harper Doesn’t Get It

Kicking down doors, firing off rockets, artillery is one way to win the battles. But to win the war you need to get the people behind you. You can’t do that if you ignore their needs, and if we want them to fully embrace the ideals of Freedom, we need to help them now, with schools where they can learn, with hospitals where they can heal, and with simple respect for those things they believe in. That is what Chretien pointed out and it is what Paul Martin is pointing out now. We need to do more about those areas if we want to bring our troops home and not send them back a year later or when ever the next 9/11 happens.

Stretched to the Limit
Ian @ September 26, 2006 # No Comment Yet
Given how managed both Bush and people like the Pope are, it makes you wonder just how these gaffs happen. Rice and her open mike in Russia, then Blair and Bush on the plane home. I don’t know, but it seems like a grand chess master setting the board for a game. In all honesty, is war that far off where the sides aren’t about ideals, or good vs evil, but instead about whose side God is on?

Follow That Ball…
Ian @ September 26, 2006 # No Comment Yet
Many nations hate, and I mean literally hate, the United States. Do we want Canada to have the same fate simply because we want to spread our views, our philosophy of tolerance on others? Come to think of it, how does that sit with our own perspective of tolerance? Surely it is an act of Intolerance more than Tolerance, so how can we support it?

Cut and Run

Besides, let’s be serious here. What criminal who wants to come into Canada is going to sit patiently and wait for the border guards to return? LIke when did criminals follow the law? Isn’t that why they are already criminals, because they BROKE THE LAW ALREADY? Seems rather stupid to believe that putting some stupid barricade up and a Closed Sign is gonna work. Now armed RCMP Officers or such would. Though I have to ask as well, why the friggin hell didn’t the cowards call the cops to begin with?

Friendly Relations With The USA
Ian @ September 24, 2006 # One Comment
To be friends, it has to be a two way street. What has the USA done for Canada on a friendship basis? Has it paid us back the $5 Billion plus its owes Canada on the softwood lumber rip off? Has it quickly recognized Canadian participation in the fight on terror such as in Afghanistan? I mean sure Rice came 5 years later to thank us for our help during 9/11 but it took FIVE YEARS. The head of Afghanistan has thanked us, but the USA has condemned us instead for our immigration policies. Are these actions of a friend or just some street bully?

The Devil - Bush or Chavez?
Ian @ September 22, 2006 # No Comment Yet
Keep in focus that his country is the 4th largest supplier of petroleum and guess who is his biggest buyer? Yep the good old USA so it begs the question, why ignore the guy when he twists your tail? Even a dog or cat will snap back if you do it, yet here is Bush, Rice, and even Bolton making light of the whole episode.

Look Inwards First…
Ian @ September 16, 2006 # No Comment Yet
IF one truly believes in the doctrine of Christ, the guiding principle is clearly that GOD GAVE MAN FREE WILL. Simply put, if I choose to believe or perceive GOD to be other than what Pope Intolerance thinks, that is my choice and GOD IS OKAY WITH IT. He gave us Free Will for a reason, to nurture our souls to be free, to be able to think, to make choices and to reason. HE knew that his messages of love, of charity, of hope, of compassion, were strong enough that man would ON HIS OWN CHOOSE HIM. That is Free Will and why it stands the test of time, yet again we see POPE INTOLERANCE showing why MAN is FAILING GOD.

Where To Draw The Line
Ian @ September 15, 2006 # No Comment Yet
The holding of suspected Terrorists without trial, without evidence or the protection of civlized behavior only adds to the reasons why these people should fight us in Iraq, Afghanistan. When they can point at us and say, well we do more than you, and they are right, or when they say we talk a good game but don’t practise what we preach, they gain more followers and we lose more troops in attacks.

Home Care Nursing
Ian @ September 13, 2006 # No Comment Yet
Seriously, I mean why bother? Both nurses asked numerous questions that had been discussed and recorded at the beginning. So why continue to ask the same questions over and over again? Do they think the initial reports were lies or something? Fact is, in watching the two recent nurses, I have come to the obvious conclussion. They simply didn’t do their homework. They DIDN’T READ the previous notes.

Reflection of Time Gone
Ian @ September 11, 2006 # No Comment Yet
THe problem is that while we call the Taliban repressive and a throwback to the dark ages, our own land is under the same type of hysteria that these regimes or groups use. Just as the Taliban ignore International Laws or Saadam Hussein, or the regime in Iran, so to does our own current crop of leaders. Bush has ignored the US Constitution so many times it is rapidly becoming a forgotten document. War is not the same as peace, but the laws that govern a nation in peace are still needed even in wartime. To ignore those laws now, makes us no different that those we call evil, call the Axis of Evil actually.

Horning In On The Act
Ian @ September 9, 2006 # No Comment Yet
I simply don’t understand this whole crazy nonsense. Israel removes its blockades before the UN Force is fully in place, thanks to pressure from Kofi Annon and now Annan is trying to negotiate for monitoring? Like will he ever do what the resolution calls for or just browbeat Israel until the next flare up?
