Chretien give Uncle Sam the finger
The Liberal government of Canada is now flaunting, with some considerable joy, the imprudent anti-American prejudices that pollute their party. It is endemic throughout and the latest insult, at Cabinet level, comes from Herb Dhaliwal. This process of flippant slander directed to our best friend, ally and customer, the Americans, has served to expose an […]
‘Americans have lost focus on the war on terrorism’: MP John McKay says President Bush has failed to make his case for a war in Iraq
OTTAWA–Liberal MP John McKay does not support the war in Iraq because he believes U.S. George W. Bush’s case for getting rid of Saddam Hussein has been a muddle. The veteran Ontario MP from Scarborough East, who also chairs the Liberals’ Ontario Caucus, is one of the many so-called doves within his party although he […]
Useful idiots
Regarding the letter “‘Bastards’ controversy continues,” (The Hill Times, March 17). Having read Mr. Marcotte’s letter regarding “useful idiots” and “naive dupes,” may I bring to your attention that a previous prime minister of Canada, Pierre Elliott Trudeau, also used the expression, “useful idiots” to describe his need for such people on his rise to […]
Harb signs up members in effort to out-flank takeovers: ‘I don’t want a situation where any one of leadership factions would be tempted’: Harb
OTTAWA–Liberal MP Mac Harb says he’s actively signing up new members for his riding association in an effort to ward off any temptation from any of the federal leadership campaigns to take over his riding association. This is the latest in the never-ending saga in the highly-coveted Grit riding. Mr. Harb (Ottawa-Centre, Ont.), who is […]
Manley’s team doing fine
Regarding the Heard on the Hill column “Manley’s team slow on the memberships uptake,” (The Hill Times, March 24). As someone who is intimately familiar with the process, one has to go through in order to pick up membership forms in Martin-dominated Alberta, I found Sean Durkan’s article a bit misleading. Here are the facts. […]
This week
Some of the bills on tap this week include Bill C-20, the child protection bill, Bill C-23, the sex offender bill, and Bill C- 13, the cloning bill, which is at third reading. Friday is a day off because the Bloc is holding its national congress. The House will stand adjourned until Monday, April 7. […]
Being a true friend of America
OTTAWA–The invasion of Iraq has increased the risk of terrorist acts against the United States even by the admission of America’s intelligence agencies. The war has, in fact, become a school for terrorists far more effective than anything a bin Laden could have built. It is a sickening thought that this school now promises to […]
MPs vent about broken-down estimates process: ‘We can ever forget the role of an MP is to keep government to account’: Valeri
The process for holding the government to account is “boring,” “frustrating” and generally ignored by most House committees, said several veteran Liberal MPs last week who also complained that Parliament has completely failed to prepare new MPs to stay on top of the billions of dollars spent yearly by the governing party in power. The […]
Strongly rejects Jones’ column
Regarding “Don’t blame the French,” (View From Washington, D.C. column, The Hill Times, March 24). My eyes just could not believe what I read in the article by David Jones. After a long list of poor “arguments” (which are more feeble opinions than facts or rational), the author finishes his paper by a sentence that […]
