Minuteman Project on USA-Canada border

The core purpose of this group is not focused towards Canadian citizens - who already have become very well-educated in the realities of U.S. homeland security law by such episodes such as the Michel Jalbert incident in 2002 - but towards the many undocumented persons who may have less-than-honourable reasons for illegally entering the USA.

Strangely, about 45 people attended a protest rally, at Peace Arch Park, rallying against the Minuteman Project's presence on the Canada border.

I guess a lot of people just don't think there should be a border... read the MSM story at http://news.bellinghamherald.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20051002/NEWS03/510020371/1016

Giving back Congressional pork barrel??

"They can kiss my ear!", responded Representative Don Young (D-Alaska) when presented with pleas by thousands of Alaskans that their state voluntarily relinquish the staggering amount of transportation pork barrel money, to provide desperately-needed money for Gulf-coast Hurricane Katrina relief.

GG Michaëlle Jean's big mouth

Gov. Gen. Michaëlle Jean's recent disparaging remarks criticizing Parti Québécois leadership candidate André Boisclair demonstrate poor judgment in handling her position. Mme. Jean is supposed to function as Queen Elizabeth II's ceremonial head of state in Canada, and not muck about in partisan politics or personality attacks. Her smart-aleck remarks aoubt M. Boisclair and about the PQ separatists are simply adding fuel to the fires of separatist rage. It is difficult for anglophones to comprehend why many Quebecois francophones publicly support separation - this is an issue I'm eager to begin exploring more thoroughly - but I believe it is a terrible, foolish mistake for Canada's GG (who was handed her well-paid hyper-prestigious job "on a silver spoon" as a patronage gift from an admiring PM Martin) to embarrass the Queen and the people of Canada by shooting her mouth off on subjects she is not qualified to comment on. Here are some MSM links regarding the
