Taken from an article titled "You won't recognize Canada when I get through with it" written by D.L McCracken (Thurs April 27, 2006)
www.halifaxlive.com

Three ads in particular stand out - Stephen Harper is quoted in the first ad as saying, "America, and particularly your conservative movement, is a light and an inspiration to people in this country and across the world";

from an article in the Washington Post in late 2005, "Canada may elect the most pro-American leader in the western world. Harper is pro-Iraq war, anti-Kyoto and socially conservative. Bush's new best friend is the poster boy for his ideal foreign leader. A Harper victory will put a smile on George W. Bush's face.";


and finally this little gem, "Canada is content to become a second-tier socialist country boasting ever more loudly about its economy and social services to mask its second-rate status. You won't recognize Canada when I get through with it".

"i want to state the situation as i understand it and i want the honorable member to correct me if i am wrong ?. The war was against liberal democratic values and the things we stand for ? that was the motivating factor for that war ? where did they come from Afghanistan ? if it is an illegal war my understanding is it is sanctioned by the UN ? and the objectives is to destroy those terrorist camps and remove the government in power that protected those terrorists ? and bring civilization and some badly needed things to their society ? to me there are wars that are very questionable in history but if my facts are correct on this matter i have a lot of problems trying to find out how in anyway this war is illegal or evil or wrong this is a war i think we should be proud to be involved with and we should solidly stand behind those men and women who are fighting those values in Afghanistan and i would just like to ask the member opposite if i have got any of these facts wrong could he correct me"
MP Brian Fitzpatrick (Prince Albert SK) April 2006 Take Note Debate

Ujjal Dosanjh Defense Critic replied - "far be it for me to correct you ..."

You've got to remember that west of Winnipeg the ridings the Liberals hold are dominated by people who are either recent Asian immigrants or recent migrants from eastern Canada: people who live in ghettoes and who are not integrated into western Canadian society.

Human rights commissions, as they are evolving, are an attack o-n our fundamental freedoms and the basic existence of a democratic society... It is in fact totalitarianism. I find this is very scary stuff.

"The Europeans came to this country 300 years ago and opened it up and settled it and because we didn't kill the Indians and have Indian wars, that doesn't mean we didn't conquer these people. If they weren't in fact conquered then why did they allow themselves to be herded into little reserves on the most isolated, desolate, worthless parts of the country."

- Athabasca MP David Chatters on Aboriginal people

"Mr. Speaker, the issue of war requires moral leadership. We believe the government should stand by our troops, our friends and our allies and do everything necessary to support them right through to victory."

- Stephen Harper, supporting the American invasion of Iraq, House of Commons, April 1, 2003.



"Thank you for saying to our friends in the United States of America, you are our ally, our neighbour, and our best friend in the whole wide world. And when your brave men and women give their lives for freedom and democracy we are not neutral. We do not stand on the sidelines; we're for the disarmament of Saddam and the liberation of the people of Iraq."

- Stephen Harper, Friends of America Rally, April 4, 2003.
