[Robert Dabkowski]

I think that the "Lying Liberals" should live up to their promises. Starting with "Cretins" pre-election promise to scrap the GST.

Twelve years (and how many deaths/injuries ?) to sign a new helicopter deal ? Cdn. naval vessels tied up/mothballed since there is no defense budget to pay for crews ? The pitifully small (and old) F-18 fighter fleet cut from 108 to 37 aircraft TO PROTECT THE ENTIRE COUNTRY when the current terrorist weapon of choise is airliners ! The F-5s retired and replaced with a few Hawk trainers ? Our tank force eliminated in favour of wheeled, lightly armoured "assault guns mounted on Strykers ? Spending billions on the US "missle defense" system that doesn't work ? Only 9 Aurura patrol planes to overfly the entire northern boundry of Canada ? Subs that kill their crews ? And lets not even start to talk about the almost Cdn.$2billion spent on the gun registry.

I'm glad that FINALLY, a Canadian has had the guts to stand up and call the Liberals to account. We've been lied to for so long that we seem not to even notice/care anymore. Even Sheila Fraser's report couldn't convince the Canadian population to vote them out of office. Trust the "Newfies" to see clearly and sensibly when the rest of us cannot ... and to point it out to us in a novel way.

I too have taken down my Canadian flag out of sheer embarresment. Not that the Provincial Liberals here in Ontario are any better about lying to the voters than the Feds are !!!

But I'm not bitter ... Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year to those
so inclined.
