“Having deemed Canada - Canada? - too dangerous, Dick Cheney has cancelled an April speaking appearance in Toronto because he's worried a bunch of mouthy ruffians who oppose torture and support elemental human rights might bother him like they did last year in Vancouver. May the circle around him tighten till he stays in his cave.”

9/11 sucked, so then what about this?: "Did you know that today 27,000 children will die of preventable diseases such as diarrhea, measles, and malnutrition? That's the same as if an airplane full of children crashed every 16 minutes, killing everyone onboard." - Aug. 2005 edition of 'Warcry', official magazine of the Salvation Army

I'm not really against water boarding / torture but I am against Dick Cheney and his phoney war in Iraq.
Glad he's staying on the other side of the border.

Looks like Mr. Vice President Cheney was right based on the violent bonfire in London, Ontariario.

So when do we send NATO troops in to help the rebels?

NATO should send troops to the US to support the Occupy rebels that are still being assaulted by a police regime that doesn't believe in free-speech.So when do we send NATO troops in to help the rebels?

BC, if the US would look after THEIR own people and keep out of other countries business, unless asked, perhaps the world would see more peace in the world. As far as what happen in London, it was wrong, but YOU shouldn't talk or do you want to talk about the US in the 1960's or were you born yet?

Now let's pretend it's 1938...the last time America decided it was not going to police the planet.

If the left had their way, they'd make it so everyone that they disagree with wouldn't speak in Canada. In this case, it's just a pre-emptive shout down, which would have happened anyways. It's all part of their tolerance, and willingness to hear other ideas.

I don't blame him and you are right on the money.The last time he 'spoke' in Canada he was held for 7 hours before the lefties would disperse enough to allow safe exit from the venue.

Good thing they did in Europe or it would have all been red.

Wow! When you pile it THAT high aren't you worried that it will tip over on you.
Seems to me the REAL 'assault' on rebels is happening in Syria, Egypt, Iran......
Western countries have rights for law which demands response if laws are broken by so called demonstrators, some with malicious intent. The USA like other democratic countries,is conceding occupiers latitude for demonstration and free speech within public laws OUR laws and constraints which the police are duly expected to enforce.
Your assessment is rather jejune and whiny.

Nah...there would still be Canadian strike aircraft dropping bombs in other countries to "protect human rights". Thanks for the peace!!

Not only was I born, but the Americans knew how to throw a much better riot for a lot better reasons

Bit by bit, the right to protest and free speech is being eroded in the USA and Canada.
