Ottawa, April 2, 2003
Canadian Alliance leader Stephen Harper lashed out at the defence minister yesterday, calling him an "idiot" and a "clown" over the government's position on Iraq.

Harper started his verbal assault on John McCallum by shouting "idiot" during heckling in the House of Commons.

Outside the House, Harper acknowledged that frustration with the federal government got the better of him. But he then went on to insult McCallum further.

"It was probably not an appropriate term, but we support the war effort and believe we should be supporting our troops and our allies and be there with them doing everything necessary to win," Harper said.

"Then this clown gets up and makes these ridiculous defences about how you can have troops in the field and somehow they're not your responsibility and somehow you're not part of the war."

Harper said it's hypocritical of the government to have exchange officers in the war against Iraq while at the same time opposing the conflict and maintaining they're not combatants.

"Frankly, any minister who has any integrity would resign from his position if he was forced to parrot lines that stupid."

Canadians support Iraq invasion, Alliance leader Harper tells U.S. television
By Colin Perkel, Canadian Press Newswire, April 3, 2003

TORONTO Most Canadians outside Quebec support the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq and Ottawa's position on the war is hypocritical, Opposition Leader Stephen Harper told an American television network Thursday.

In an interview with Fox News, Harper tore a strip off the Liberal government, saying he was speaking for the "silent majority" of Canadians in endorsing the war.

"We have a government here that says Saddam Hussein is a war criminal and maintains diplomatic relations with him during the conflict," said the leader of the Canadian Alliance.

"We have a government that says they're not supportive of the conflict but it becomes more and more obvious that we have Canadian soldiers and sailors involved in the conflict."

While there are Canadians who oppose the invasion, Harper said they are a minority, as are those who are anti-American.

"It certainly exists. But in fairness, there's an anti-American sentiment among the American left in the United States itself. We have some of that here. But that's a minority sentiment."

Only in Quebec, with its "pacifist tradition," are most people opposed to the war, Harper said.

"Outside of Quebec, I believe very strongly the silent majority of Canadians is strongly supportive."

The segment, to be broadcast across the United States and in 41 countries Friday night and repeated on the weekend, is aimed at providing viewers with an overview of Canadian sentiments on the Iraq conflict.

"We're up here judging the mood of the people with regards to the war in Iraq and Canadians' feelings about whether they should have joined the coalition or not," said Andrew Fone, a Boston-based network producer with Fox News.

"You see clearly that there is a division and it's very similar to the division in the United States where you have people that are dead set against this war and those that believe the administration is doing the right thing."

Even among those opposed to the war, Fone said he didn't pick up an anti-American feeling among the Canadians he talked to.

"People were very affable."

Some Canadian politicians, such as Alberta Premier Ralph Klein and Ontario Premier Ernie Eves, have warned that Canada's failure to endorse the war effort could create a backlash in the U.S. and hurt business and trade ties.

But Fone said he's detected no such backlash.

"I don't think people are beating Canada up down there in the U.S," he said. "It's really an issue that hasn't received a lot of play."

On Thursday, the Alliance put forward a motion aimed at getting the Commons to "repudiate a number of anti-American statements that have been made by some of our opponents."

Liberal MP Carolyn Parrish and Natural Resources Minister Herb Dhaliwal have recently sparked controversy with strong statements against U.S. President George W. Bush and the war.

"The other parties are clearly a bit frazzled by that," Harper told Fox. "Public opinion in this country has turned very much against those who have tried to promote anti-American sentiment."更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net

许多人离开了中国的“和谐”社会，来这儿找不“和谐”，这倒是加拿大政府始料不及的；城市问题就象是女郎的容貌，十年二十年，一个世纪，年龄不饶人啊，只要不恶化就谢天谢地，而保守党就是要把不年轻的女人口袋里买口红的钱也要榨走！

本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛1镇压少数人权利,她是稱老大，加拿大自由党政府在1923年 7月1日通過1923年華人移民法案（又稱爲排華法）。 镇压在加華人的公民權利 令當時的反華情緒變得更激烈。因爲當時大多數華人都不可以說流利的英語，他們都要躲避在唐人街。 由於當時的加拿大已經有很多條例禁止華人從事多個行業，華人只可以做一些白人不願意從事的工作，例如洗衣店和三文魚加工。直至到戰後，加拿大的華人社區是可以稱爲一個單身男子社會。

她不想平反，还搞出个原則性協議
华人应感谢她，
如果没有她， 整个华人社区的政治醒觉性不会提高，
民意不会一边倒。
自由党在过去十二年执政时，在人头税问题上拒不向加拿大华人道歉赔偿，还说甚么“道歉意味着法律责任”，对于华人对加拿大建国的贡献一笔抹杀，更不承认人头税对华人造成伤害，连一句“对不起”也不肯说，态度可谓恶劣，难怪平权会要向联合国人权委员会投诉。

2. 自由党领导白人至上主义充分表现在2005年，几个自由党领导人对华人的公开侮辱，正是白人至上主义的充分表现。先有万锦区部长john Mccallum对待中文报纸记者的恶劣态度，又有国库局长 Reg Alcock 奚落华裔国会议员的基因，再有执行副主席将华裔比作狗。
我们如横沟指望 他们认 认真真地对待新移民？!更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net

本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛1. 从历史大事来看觉得自由党盲目讨好米国。例如1998年,加军没有获 美国邀请， 在自由党党领一声号令, 轰炸机 立即出动炸 Kosovo小国，为了讨好米国不惜卷入 劳民伤财的不义之战。
不惜凌驾于国会之上，尽管吃力不讨好，誓要做 美国的应声虫。

她坚持加拿大在国际舞台上有自己的声音。不惜搞出众多funds,
结果联邦赞助丑闻令政府丑态毕露。意外打败伊朗、北韩和美国等“强劲对手”，独占鳌头的获得“世界愚蠢奖”（World Stupidity Awards）所颁发的年度“蠢蛋政府”（the dumbest government）奖。
反映了自由党政府在世界的形象。
2.自由党的分 fund 政策从来都是在四大政党中最”出色的”。自自由党2004年上台以来，她的政策又再是搞多fund，准备戍立child care fund，这个fund个那fund，钱在她手里任她分，亲朋戚友优先分。
她不幸被三党拉下台，分fund理想难实现，誓要支持她重上台，好把俺的Fund拿过来，让 口袋里的钱多一些。 3. 承诺好听不实现！十二年前要选票，答应除掉GST。
自由党政府曾许诺会承认移民的专业资格认证，但至今没履行承诺。
工程师、医生和其他专业技术移民很多还都在打Labour。
每年都没法完成移民目标，到现在还有70万积压案。
新移民想要担保父母移民，要面临可能长达5年的等待。还不如脱衣舞女的特别签证，持着它路路通！

每个新移民在申请移民时都要交975加元“登陆费”，这是自由党政府造出来的收费名目，
虽然不叫“人头税”，只不过自由党管它叫“登陆费”而已。 财政赤字是减了,可是每一个新移民在没有享受任何加拿大福利之前却都要凭白无故地为此付出975加元的代价。真是毫无道理
4.GST及PROPERTY TAX收入丰，但不能停止大学学费账单涨，更把医疗服务搞得一团糟，还被病人告一状。
原因是硬要病人等待一年以上去享受医疗福利，他自付费求医行不通，病人受不了疾病痛苦把它告，结果被病人打败她，只好低头让他跑！
今天承诺多又多，她的党领拉票来，说是错收了人头税，又逍谦来又许诺，老汉不会被愚弄，跟他说：道谦该在国会里！十多年里你不做, 现在道谦也不会选你。
一次不忠百次不用! 难说服别人再来选她!

还有3条可以说服一些人来选她:

1 持家有道应该选她, 用买一条新潜艇的钱, 去买了四条旧的, 虽然一死多人伤在回途中, 死伤不是问题, 省军费是她的”功劳”

2 她的女党干麦莉兰表示，司法工作坊中有大量年轻党员，通过大麻及卖淫合法化是意料中事。

3. 她的党领是生财有道的好榜样，马丁先生是比布什富很多的大富翁,管你大小生意交税多与少。他的公司开在BARBODOS，不用给加拿大交一分钱的税。
所以很多人都模仿他。

这么多的好处, 怎么可以不选她?

-万锦和士嘉堡的华人社区邀请侯选人辩论，唯独保守党人缺席，傲！
-自由党把拖了几十年的人头税问题向前推进了一大步，哈泼顺水推舟随口许诺更多，可传真给华人媒体的政纲中，只字不提，虚！
-当年为了得到党魁的位置，满口答应支持他的党内员老不和极右的加拿大联盟合并，权一到手，马上食言，诈！
还没上台就这样，上了台会更好吗？
本不打算投票，但为了不让哈泼为所欲为，再投出个少数政府，互相有牵制，对大家都有利。爽！
