Man! talk about holding a a grudge. Willfully blind? Get a grip woman! And yes the past is the past, imagine if we could all change history certainly the rest of us can't, I don't see why the native American should be able to.. The fact that I was born in Canada as were my parents, makes me every bit as native as you.......I'm pretty sick and tired of seeing your whining posts on how the natives should own everything and the rest of us should go jump in the lake. It is the Canadian and American people as a whole who made this continent what it is today. Get over it, why don't you start by being part of the solution instead of part of the problem.
I keep my bow and arrow locked and loaded at all times.... It just makes good sense. If that should fail I keep my trusty henckle knife near by as a back up.
Yeah that's true Somechick, But in this country they make pretty good squid, why can't they buy it like everyone else. Nobody likes it when their politician's take advantage of a situation. I see no difference.
VANCOUVER - A U.S. Army deserter who fled to Canada three years ago has been deported to America to face possible court martial or a return trip to Iraq.
The Canada Border Services Agency confirmed Tuesday that Robin Long was removed from British Columbia. He claimed refugee status in Canada, saying he didn't want to take part in an "illegal war of aggression" in Iraq.
It's looking like Canada is not a viable option for skipping out on your war tours.
TUSCALOOSA, ALA.–Manuel Castillo drove through Alabama in a truck filled with onions and left with a $500 ticket for something he didn't think he was doing: speaking English poorly.
Castillo, who was stopped on his way back to California, said he knows federal law requires him to be able to converse in English with an officer but he thought his language skills were good enough to avoid a ticket.
Still, Castillo said he plans to pay the maximum fine of $500 rather than return to fight the ticket.
"It just doesn't seem fair to be ticketed if I wasn't doing anything dangerous on the road," he said.
An Alabama state trooper thought Castillo, 50, couldn't speak English well enough to drive an 18-wheeler when he was headed back to California from picking up onions in Glennville, Ga. A driver for 20 years, Castillo was stopped in west Alabama for a routine inspection.
Castillo, who says he speaks English at roughly a Grade 3 level, said he understood when the trooper asked him where he was heading and to see his commercial driver's licence and registration. He said he responded in English, though he speaks with an accent.
Castillo wasn't speeding, and the inspection and computer check turned up no offences, so he was surprised to get a ticket for being a "non-English-speaking driver."
Federal law requires that anyone with a commercial driver's licence speak English well enough to talk with police. Authorities last year issued 25,230 tickets nationwide for violations. Now the federal government is trying to tighten the English requirement, saying the change is needed for safety reasons.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has proposed rules requiring anyone applying for a commercial driver's licence to speak English during a road test or vehicle inspection.
So many ideas so little being done about it. When the almighty buck stops ruling the world, things will change. Until then the status quo shall prevail. I refuse to feel guilty about using energy, when something comes along I can afford that is better for the environment I shall be the first in line to use it.
Don't worry my American friends, we have legislation just like the Pariot act here in Canada. I guess the Canadian government didn't want to feel left out in locking people up without charges. I say give it a few more years and they are going to take away our right to breathe.
Perhaps it's time to turn my garage into a stable and start cutting wood in the summer. I'm thinking that will happen before the oil runs out simply because of the cost of fuel.
It is just a movie folks, great entertainment perhaps, but when it comes to truth it is absolute BS. The fact of the matter is the planet has been cooling for the past decade, but they don't say anything about that, do they?
It has never been about the people Leo. Like I have said many times on this forum, if they call it democracy why do we have to fear the people we elect? Only the squeaky wheels get grease, so if you want something you had better get sqeaky. Goos luck.
I can't help but think there are a bunch of skunks buying up all the oil futures and artificially driving the price up. $10 in one day? Something has to be going on.
Well. When I can can put something other than gasoline in my automoble I will gladly do it. But at this point there is nothing else to power it with. Everyone sits around and complains about fosil fuel use, yet where are all the bright ideas? There is no magic bullet here folks, hydrogen is a viable option, but demands massive amounts of electricity to produce. We make that by burning coal which of course another fosil fuel.
If we want cheaper oil, the only way to achieve it is to flood the market with oil thus lowering the demand and the price.
I do think that alot of this stuff will at some point level out to sane levels, but it's not going to happen over night. I remember the 70's oil crisis, like that this too will pass.
Well our health care system is not all it's cracked up to be. It's very slow and underfunded. Governments are not good at running anything without screwing it up, but it's a lot better than no healthcare.
