This is the crux for the liberal party, the Harpercon regime and their allies cannot be allowed to demonize the word anarchy: liberalism must defend the philosophical higher ground in honour of Ignatieff and the Academy. The continuity of education as the alternative to war and prisons and the rich getting richer, <br />The NDP will be blind-sided by history as they prove more ineffectual in parliament, stymied by Harpercon denial, which is where liberalism's opportunity exists: the chance to differentiate anarchism from libertarian corporatism. <br />That is the crux of liberalism's claim to the radical centre. The NDP dare not go there. The Greens have inherited the conscience of the nation in default of the NDP's grab for power, which leaves liberalism defending philosophical thought itself: beginning with anarchism, and why it should not be turned into an Orwellian term of badness: take the highroad" embrace intelligent and do it on the street: define a Canada that possesses non-corporatist, free enterprise independent communitarian liberty, in which Anarchism is not defamed.Jerry Pragerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09054428435443042500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-11960545794297681302011-06-16T19:39:54.469-04:002011-06-16T19:39:54.469-04:00Canadians won the game

No the police was not prepared and didn't even try.<br />it was a mass hysteria in the media leading up to the games and I really think the media incited some of the flames.. when you see on tv small children are screaming into the microphone that was a sign of sickening feeding... Idiots should be punished really hard.. And the only winner the owner of the team should pay most of the damages.. <br />well hockey is a very violent sick game itself and the funs are damged goods.Damehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15548065189088501935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-50102135745331623552011-06-16T18:19:59.403-04:002011-06-16T18:19:59.403-04:00Marp

I would have thought preparation for the worst case, that was surprising and unfortunate.Steve Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04871113039374739208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-32131385657324077662011-06-16T18:15:43.010-04:002011-06-16T18:15:43.010-04:00It is difficult, as a Vancouverite, to see and rea...It is difficult, as a Vancouverite, to see and read about all of this.<br />This is not reflective of Vancouver, the city nor the support we show for our teams. It is wonderful, and was throughout the Canucks playoff run, how people could gather and celebrate. This started in the Olympics and it was cool to watch that we could do this for our team.<br />This would have happened whether the Canucks won, or lost....this was premeditated, planned.<br />I should note that most Vancouverites would vote for ANY Canadian team who made the run. We voted for Calgary, Edmonton in years gone by...I was voting for Montreal as well...would have been great to see two Canadian teams in the finals.<br />Disappointing to read the multitude of disparaging remarks about the Canucks...how people were cheering for anyone-but....a bit shallow in my view.weeblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03591531825570909900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-16470710541499132052011-06-16T18:01:03.145-04:002011-06-16T18:01:03.145-04:00Out of that hell comes a kind of cleansing.

The same area of riots is now one of healing messages on boarded windows and young volunteers picking up garbage and cleaning graffiti from fixed surfaces. Where there was a kind of forlorn despair this morning, there is now a renewed sense of pride and determination to continue on. Too bad you won't hear much of these wonderful people in the news. You rarely do.Jim Parretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15331887342292476909noreply@blogger.com
