IN QUEBEC: WHAT THE NON-FRENCH
SPEAKING CAN DO
"Electing the PQ without
Rene Levesque's respect on equality is a joke.. Whatever happens giving up your
right to speak and serviced in English is what it counts.. If they are inspiring
for a separate nation they should consider tagging us along with them before
2020, as the number would show by then they will be the minority. For now, the
Liberals can do the job of governing us." 3/13/03

THE U.S. MUST OUST SADDAM HUSSEIN NOW!
"Leadership is not an easy place where one could be,
especially the US presidency, but it's not from a bunch of U.N. member that
decides what George W. Bush should do. It's what he thinks is the right thing to
do. The UN is a watering hole for representatives from independent countries
around the world, mostly composed of the most corrupt and vicious, so called
educated con artists that waits for any opportunity to suck blood out of
anything... wonder how much it cost to out bid the US, to give Hussein more time
to play the world with a violin playing in the background. The US should go now!
No more time to waste... And, it's not nice for Canada to object... The
Americans no matter how arrogant they are ...are still our dear friends and good
neighbors and most of all, an ally at all times". 3/12/03

THE SYSTEM IS
UNDER LABOR UNION CONTROL
“Labor union demands have been long fulfilled; gap on wages is way too far
from ordinary group of working people. So, whichever politician say's he can fix
this problem must be dreaming. An illiterate garbage collector or bus
driver (no pun intended) gets $10,000 a year more compared to an office manager,
a university graduate that makes $22,000. The union turned this country into a
socialist state. I thought we got rid of the communists?” Jashua 03/11/03

QUEBEC: A SUFFOCATING HOUSE TO
LIVE FOR ANGLO AND OTHERS
"Those Anglos and the
others should know, no matter what the polls show should elect Jean Charest and
his party that promises something to prolong their survival in Quebec.
Martha Hyer, Montreal 3/09/03

US EXTENDED
ULTIMATUM TO FOUR ADDITIONAL DAYS - NOW MARCH 21 BEFORE THE SLAUGHTER BEGINS
"If the Americans
could only end the conflict between Israel and Palestine, peace with the Moslems
could start happening. How? Take all the money away that supports both."
_______________________________________________
WE ARE WITH YOU MR. PRESIDENT
"Saddam
Hussein is not disarming. This is a fact. It cannot be denied. We want to see
people stand up and say what their opinion is about Saddam Hussein and the
utility of the United Nations Security Council. And so, you bet. It's time for
people to show their cards. When it comes to our security, we really don't need
anybody's permission. Saddam Hussein and his weapons are a direct threat to this
country." US President George W. Bush
3/07/03

ON
ATTACKING IRAQ: MR. PRESIDENT, CAN YOU WAIT A MOMENT?
"The
tasks spelled out by that resolution are not completed yet. We are still working
hard for a political solution and trying to avoid war. ... At this moment, it is
completely unnecessary to put aside Resolution 1441 and introduce a new
resolution and should be strengthened. We have to continue the inspections until
we get to the bottom of this. Every effort has to be made to avoid war because
war does not serve the interests of any country in the world. Instead, it would
produce a ‘catastrophic humanitarian disaster’ and destabilize the political
landscape there. It would also hurt global economic recovery. Tang Jiaxuan,
China’s Foreign Minister, speaking on the current resolution being carried out
by UN weapons inspectors. 3/06/03
_______________________________________________
CONTINUING
THE KILLING NOT GOING FOR PEACE
"The attack in
Haifa is yet another Palestinian bloodletting of innocent Israeli civilians.
Israel will not tolerate this terror, and will continue to take the necessary
steps to eradicate it." David Baker, an official in the Israel prime
minister's office 3/05/03
_______________________________________________
MAKE SURE THOSE SUICIDE
BOMBERS DON'T MAKE IT TO USA
"Another important
suggestion since all Moslems living in the US are saying they are ready to
cooperate is simple; dress like anyone else.3/04/03
_______________________________________________
ON THE SECOND THOUGHT
"For 30 billion
dollars, the Turks are not going to let it go... the first vote was just a show
off, but wait until tomorrow or next, the mighty green bucks will prevail.
Saddam Hussein, should know that nothing could stop the Gringos to get him out
of Iraq, pronto." Charles McDimon, Montreal 3/03/03
_______________________________________________
THIS IS WHAT THE TURKS SAY
BUT THE U.S. CANNOT STOP NOW. GET SADDAM NOW TO AVOID MORE DISASTERS
"We
have always said that they cannot carry out policies despite the will of the
people. They have created a crisis of confidence." Mehmet Agar, the leader
of the True Path Party of Turkey’s parliament. Polls shows 94% of Turks
opposes US War on Iraq. 3/02/03

JEAN CHRETIEN PICKING FIGHT
WITH GEORGE W.?
"Just kidding...
Chretien is not serious trying to stop the US changing the regime in Iraq,
eh?" Marshall Hallow, Montreal 3/01/03
_______________________________________________
THE WAR IS JUST DAYS TO
START
"What those who pretend and wish
not to understand (but) should know.. The War On Iraq is already decided.
Whatever Saddam Hussein does it won't stop the invasion. If they say Iraq won't
change that the US is just after oil, lest one forget the rehabilitation of
Japan and Germany... completely two different people and history. Democratize
Iraq now and all of them will follow...global integration of the Arabs
could lead to world peace, just look at them in the U.S. and Canada, they are
honorable people.. At best settlement of conflict in the Mid-East is
important where the democratic Palestinian state is established, and we could
count that America is doing that right now, as their foreign policy have been
changing during the past two years. JT, CM 2/28/03
_______________________________________________
QUEBEC LIBERAL GOT TO WIN
"What
accomplishment the Separatists have done to Quebec? Only one, and that must be
taking all the english out of the province... That's a nice try... all those
towns and cities that got francophonized
are now bankrupt... and Montreal is the only one that could withstand this, it
got to remain bilingual. Whatever, I encourage that Jean Charest's Liberals get
elected come election day. Sylvie Parliamente, Quebec 2/27/03
_______________________________________________
ELECTING THE PARTI
QUEBECOIS
"Bernard Landry
should be elected to govern to even a minority government, he has done some
improvements that the Anglophone and other ethnic minorities make sense to the
future of Quebec. Other parties will just make it a divisive province, just like
the previous ones that didn't know what to do." Jane Wolfesein, Montreal
2/26/03
_______________________________________________
FOR CERTAIN, THERE WILL BE
WAR
"No matter what
comes out of the UN Security Council, its hard turning back, all the boys are
ready, majority are supporting George W. Bush, and Tony Blair, openly or
standing by behind the curtain, but the decision has been made.... Canada will
follow...Saddam Hussein is toast." cdb 2/25/03
_______________________________________________
AFRAID OF
IRAQ WAR THAT MAY KILL A LOT?
"Don’t
worry. It’s almost a daily ritual for the Israelis killing Palestinians for
any excuse they could get, and same, with the Palestinians who do the same
through their own suicide bombers rewarded with 74 virgins after death. Stop
this first before starting another! Want
to read the latest slay?" cdb
2/24/03

WHERE ARE THOSE WE
SUPPORTED BEFORE?
"I was so saddened
to see so many in our nation not supporting our troops and our country. This is
very uplifting." U.S. Naval
Warrant Officer David Wolff, a Desert Storm veteran who arrived at the Pensacola
Anti War rally in uniform that turned out about 2,000 protesters yesterday.
2/23/03
_______________________________________________
OUR PREMIER HERE IS NOT A
MORON
"Maybe,
okay....that our good premier Bernard Landry was a little bit off beat or
something poetic, but definitely he's an intelligent man that most media,
political opponents, and Anglo leaders are always trying to find anything to
shame him. Of course, even animals with a bird brain feeds their young and human
should not be deprived of seeing theirs starving....especially in a country like
ours." James McTeal, Montreal 2/22/03
_______________________________________________
HOPING SADDAM HUSSEIN WILL
UNDERSTAND
"This war is getting
too political for both President George W. Bush and Prime Minister Tony Blair.
Getting rid of Saddam is what it counts.. The two could be sainted.. after Iraq
is democratized. John Singers, Montreal 2/21/03
_______________________________________________
WHICH WAY PRESIDENT GEORGE
W. BUSH SHOULD GO?
"Stopping the U.S.
ousting Saddam Hussein now could be be more fatal in the final analysis( later).
Canada should back up President Bush, with no question." Sydney Lopez.
Montreal 2/20/03
_______________________________________________
DON'T
CHANCE IT
"Once
again, because you were already forewarned last year... if you look like Osama
Bin Laden, and not born in the U.S., even a Canadian citizen, don't go
down south, the enforcers of Uncle Sam for sure will treat you like one of Bin
Laden's followers... very humiliating... and you'd hate them for a long time
(for sure). This kind of over reaction and treatment of those who
looks Mid-Eastern or Indian, is just adding to "hating America" drive.
President George W. Bush, and assistants should talk to their enforcers....(to)
get them loosen up a little." JB 2/20/03
_______________________________________________
THERE
GOES THE LEGACY OF JEAN
"The
only thing that Canadians would remember of Jean Chretien, is gone, (his)
promise of scrapping or getting rid of Brian Mylroney's GST... the principal
reason he got elected as prime minister. Well, there goes another lie
politicians make." Brenda McKeenang 2/19/03
_______________________________________________
BAGHDAD SHOULD HAVE NO ILLUSIONS
“Baghdad disarm "immediately and
fully or face consequences. Baghdad should have no illusions. It must disarm and
co-operate immediately and fully." United European Leaders 2/18/03
_______________________________________________
GOD IS GREAT, THERE MUST
BE PEACE
"The French and the
Arabs are somewhat too complicated to understand. The comparison is not on
political or human rights, it's just France doesn't look back...is backing off
supporting the countries (U.S. and England) that once saved her and had more
than 50,000 lives wasted... while the Arabs have been learning so much hatred
and have to kill from teaching of their leaders that take advantage of their
innocence. Would it be economics for the French, and the Mid-East Conflict for
the Arabs? But, at the end of the day, Saddam Hussein, must go, to avoid further
misunderstanding and all of us would be considered history." JB 2/17/03
_______________________________________________
DESPITE THE MILLIONS
THAT SAY'S DON'T GO: SADDAM MUST GO
"Ridding
the world of Saddam would be an act of humanity. It is leaving him there that is
inhumane. That is why I do not shrink from military action should that indeed be
necessary" Prime Minister Tony Blair, told a conference of his
governing Labor Party in Glasgow, Scotland
2/16/03
_______________________________________________
PRESIDENT
GEORGE W. BUSH: WHAT'S RELEVANT
"Saddam
Hussein has to go, but how? It seems almost all Iraqis are terrified of him, and
there's no way considering all those past take over and assassination attempts
can make him end his brutal dictatorship. His past history should be considered
very seriously before any of the Big Countries (?) stops the U.S. in invading
Iraq. U.N. members of the 'Free World' should support George W. Bush. Canada
should not even think twice. Let's leave it to the hands of the American people;
they are the only one who should stop the
war. cdb 2/15/03
_______________________________________________
THE UNWILLING (CANADA)?
NO WAY!
"Canada, cannot be one
of the unwilling, or we become the unforgiven. They tried to conquer us twice,
so let's not wait until they come the third time. Economically, we are already
taken, so there's no choice, let's stop the music already, we cannot be
left alone to do the dancing. America is great! Viva George W. Bush!" cdb

OSAMA
BIN LADEN SAID THESE? C’MON…PROBABLY BY A CLONED OSAMA, IF YOU WANT TO
BELIEVE IT.
"It
matters not in these circumstances that the interests of Muslims and socialists
converge in the fight against the crusaders. It is going to be a great battle,
and we are going to defeat the enemy.” 2/13/03 _______________________________________________
THE
WAR ON IRAQ: BUT, WE MUST SUPPORT GEORGE W. BUSH, DON’T WE?
“If
Washington ignores world opinion and acts unilaterally it will unleash a kind of
cultural hatred that will spread around the world, and that hatred will be
against American culture. That's the kind of danger the Americans are facing.
Recent opinion polls in Canada showing that two-thirds of Canadians opposed U.S.
unilateral action against Iraq, this strong tide of opinion is running against
Washington in Europe and elsewhere.” Liberal
backbencher John Bryden
_______________________________________________
OOPS! OSAMA BIN LADEN’S TAPE IS A FAKE
“The
Alleged Recording had some flows. Osama, had been killed during the U.S.
attacked in Afghanistan. What’s the U.S. intelligence talking about? Al Qaida
followers produced the message to scare the Americans." 2/11/03 cdb

GROWING ANTI-SEMITISM BY
EX-PRIME MINISTER BRIAN MULRONEY
"Kissing ass for
economic reason in most time (is) acceptable, but, saying anti-Semitism is
growing in Canada?... that's B.S. ...In Canada, the Jews are well placed, doing
well and successful. Reputation of someone known to have almost put away (for
good, a political party) the Progressive Conservatives to oblivion cannot be
forgotten for a long, long time. It could even affect the possibility that a new
political party in Quebec (ADQ) is elected instead of Jean Charest,
identified as one of Mulroney's most ardent supporters. Canadians from West to
East, just want to to be left alone by Brian Mulroney, for good. He can enjoy
his millions, can't he?"2/10/03 jt
_______________________________________________
WHAT
ABOUT FRANCE?
"There
is still an alternative to war. We haven't gone to the end, far from it. France
believes that between the existing inspections system and war, there remain many
methods of disarming Iraq." France President Jacques Chirac, commenting at
Élysée Palace, on U.S. President George W. Bush’s “the Game Is Over”
statement.
_______________________________________________
THE GAME IS OVER – "SADDAM HUSSEIN MAKE PEACE WITH YOUR
MAKER"
"Saddam Hussein can now be expected to begin another round of
empty concessions, transparently false denials. No doubt he will play a
last-minute game of deception. The game is over." U.S. President George W.
Bush

EST - February 5, 2003 - U.S. State Secretary Colin Powel, delivering speech at
the U.N. Security Council, accusing Iraq of deception and non compliance of U.N.
Resolution 1441, justifying war declared by President George W. Bush. China,
say's not yet...let the inspectors go back to Iraq and finish their
job..seconded by Russia... the English backs Powel...plus 10 members of the
European Council... so, would this mean Saddam Hussein has to take his last
feast? cdb

WHAT’S
THIS GUY TALKING ABOUT?
"Unfortunately,
I witnessed firsthand the mishaps of the Canadian justice system The authorities
tried to indirectly link me to al-Qaeda, and when that failed, I was slapped
with a mischief charge. While in jail, I was treated very badly. I was a guest
in this country . . . but I will never forget these events, I came to Canada to
improve my English, and I felt his mischief conviction was a sign of political
influence on the judiciary. Unfortunately, there's no separation of power in
this country. "It was because I'm a Muslim and I come from the Middle East.
They're calling us terrorists, and your legal system is trying to serve
it." Norouz Barghi, Iranian professor, convicted for mischief claiming he
didn’t use the right English word. Click

THE GST
"The
GST, is Brian Mulroney's legacy, now if John Chretien is looking for one, then
he's got to fulfill his promise to scrap it. It's easy, nothing to worry, too
many other taxes are collected and there will be no deficit if the next prime
minister knows how to balance the budget. After all, it made most of us
cheaters, take this out already." cdb
_______________________________________________
THE BEST THING THAT GEORGE
W. COULD DO
"War with Iraq
could be out of the question, but still to save President George W. Bush, from
failure to shoulder the burden himself in removing Saddam Hussein's regime is to
give the go signal to Iraq's Opposition Revolutionary Army to start marching
onto Baghdad. If, Saddam Hussein survives, George W. is toast." jt

FORMER MONTREAL MAYOR
PIERRE BOURQUE
"Bourque's run for
Quebec MNA office to regain control of city hall as Minister of Municipal
Affairs, could make life of Mayor Gerald Tremblay a little complicated (if
elected for the ADQ) but that's a wish that would never happen as Mario Dumont
is not going to be the next premier." jt
_______________________________________________
U.S. ECONOMY
"American politicians
should consult with their ever genius economists, what they should do now to
avoid total collapsed of the U.S. Dollar, for it already begun... The War On
Iraq is just a blessing to start the phenomenon. The Montreal Tribune had said
it before that dumping could occur due to overflowing the world for the past
forty years. Buying of gold and Euro Dollar is extensive." cdb
_______________________________________________
DEVELOPING COUNTRIES DEAL
ACCEPTANCE
"All treaties or
agreement signed by the U.S. with any Third Countries always comes with payoffs
that's already flooding the whole world with the green bucks that sooner or
later will become worthless, replaced by the Euro Dollar, as international
medium of exchange. At the moment the U.S. Dollar's worth is based on faith
alone. Will any of America's economic experts say something about it? cdb

ELECTION IN QUEBEC
"The best bet if an
election is called is Jean Charest, who possibly can protect the rights of the
minority and being a veteran politician coming from federal politics that
underwent a very rigid learning of Quebec Politics 101, could deliver a normal
government without controversy." cdb

GEN. ARIEL SHARON'S WIN
SOLVES NO PROBLEM
"Ending the
conflict in the Mid-East is far from over since Sharon's policy of confrontation
won't end the suicide bombers mind of retaliation. Killings on both sides are
not going to stop... unless a very comprehensive diplomatic solution is
implemented. Vague? Maybe, but there got to be some ways to get the Jews out of
the Occupied Territories to continue talking peace again. Jack Macknife
_______________________________________________
WAR IS ALREADY DECLARED
"The Iraqis should
not play around anymore, they should execute a plan now on how they could exile
Saddam Hussein somewhere in order to avoid a situation that could escalate into
bigger conflict. But, on the other hand this war could start the democratization
of the Arab countries" Irish Megan, Montreal
_______________________________________________
THE CONFLICT THAT STARTED
IT ALL
"Forget talking
about history on (both sides) Israel, and Palestine, right or wrong is not
working since 1948. What about having the Free World get together, and ask
Israel to leave the Occupied Territories. Just like what Yitzhak Rabin was about
to do before he was assassinated, what about that, geniuses of the world?"
cdb
_______________________________________________
SCARED AS HELL, COME AFTER
MONDAY WE COULD BE AT WAR WITH SADDAM HUSSEIN
"Check all the
headlines, with all the preparations and everyone on alert status, Saddam's time
will begin to end... But, will it be just him and his die-hard followers that
will vanish? If the answer is yes, then it's (probably) justified...Whatever,
how about considering our casualties after... not counting the Iraqi
civilians...that could be terrifying. This is where prayers are needed, since
diplomacy collapsed where madness has prevailed." cdb
_______________________________________________
THE ONLY BEST THING OUR
POLITICIANS CAN DO
"For the last
thirty years the only thing our politicians did was to think of how they can tax
us more. Don't they have a little bit of brain to know how most of us are very
depressed already?" 61% are already on welfare..! Hello, Hello, Hello? cdb
_______________________________________________
I am really disappointed
that George W. Bush put family first over country
Economics calls it
"guns and butter"
Yes, the US will need
some time for it to financially recover. Bush is hoping for a war to
distract the American public from the bleak growth picture and high
unemployment, especially in the tech sector. There is a lot of tax money
generated from that sector that won't be there for the next upcoming years.
Therefore, it is prudent for Bush to try and generate income from the war sector
of manufacture to try and balance the budget, but that is short-lived economy.
Economics calls it "guns and butter". It has been long
proven that growth comes from butter not guns.
Anyway, I won't repeat
my mistake and vote for Bush again. I am really disappointed that he put
family first over country, and it appears that was his true motive for the oval
office. RM, Raleigh, North Carolina

NOW, WE ARE SCREWED...
"WE CAN NOT BE THE
"UNWILLING NATION" - WE HAVE TO JOIN THE U.S." Tim Osburnes
"President
Saddam Hussein is not disarming his nation and time is running out. We have to
disarm Iraq with a 'coalition of the willing'." U.S. President
George W. Bush
_______________________________________________
SERIOUSLY SPEAKING
"Mr. Jean Chretien:
Backtrack a little bit, fulfill your election promise in 1993, before we elected
your party to power... get rid of the GST! That will be your legacy which
will be remembered for a long time. Nothing else you could leave us but untangle
us from Brian Mulroney's stupidity." jt
_______________________________________________
FREEDOM OF SPEECH
"What we should say
that doesn't discriminate or isolate or spread hatred but merely giving our
opinion on something we disagree should not be curtailed or taken away in a
democratic society. Without that basic right, we are for sure become part of a
system that only one judgment reign." cdb
_______________________________________________
HOW TO AVOID THE IRAQ WAR
"Maybe Saddam
Hussein is just waiting for Canada to offer asylum, if this wasn't done yet,
then send the invitation. We have a lot of people that changed their lives after
they got here. The Soviet Union begun disintegrating from an operation that
started here by their ambassador, who is now considered a hero of that
revolution." Riche Morgan
_______________________________________________
THE EURO IS COMING
"The way things are
coming, five or ten years from now, the Euro Dollar will knock out Uncle Sam's
Dollars out of power...Imagine it's flooding the world already and only faith is
keeping its value. Wake up America!" Evelyn Simms
_______________________________________________
NICE
"The first American
of Jewish Faith (Orthodox) to run as president, could be just a wishful
thinking. Is the U.S. ready to elect a Jewish president ? If so, then Yasser
Arafat is toast." Madeleine Gasphart
_______________________________________________
U.S. WAR IS NOT ON IRAQ
"If anyone could
help out ousting Saddam Hussein, then the U.S. doesn't have to spend too much
both on life and money. But, how?" Joseph Phantas
_______________________________________________
PEACE TALK AFTER TERRORISM
STOPS? IT'S LIKE THE MESSIAH IS STILL COMING

ON ECONOMICS
Canada should carefully
study new American Economic Plan. Most could be used to booster our own. Tribune
experts say Canada will soon become totally a WELFARE STATE in ten years.
_______________________________________________
"Why on earth the
Anglophone group (Alliance Quebec) hasn't brought in at least 75% of all English
speaking people together to fight for their equality in Quebec? Norman Leargin
We don't know. But,
probably they are just avoiding confrontation with the Separatist group or
together they just cannot agree on anything, including who should be heading the
lobby group.
_______________________________________________
"Is someone from your
staff really serious (suggesting) that Celine Dion's husband Rene Angelil, be
awarded the Order of Canada? For What... Marrying her?" Rene Levante,
Montreal
Maybe not the Order but an
award for his marketing skill, one of those that had successfully promoted a
talent across the world that earned Canada the prestige and a lot of U.S.
dollars at that.
_______________________________________________
QUEBEC
ELECTION - CHANGING THE GUARD?
"Electing a new
comer like Mario Dumont, is like seeing the ghost of the late Robert Bourrassa,
who culminated to French nationalist strategy making the life of Anglophones
miserable as it is now, and if its Jean Charest, (remember this is Brian
Mulroney's boy) and that's not going to be a good thing to do. So, there you
are...unless, there's any changed from the Liberals then think about what
Bernard Landry could do...he will run a more improved dedicated government,
afterall, the Parti Quebecois is the best that Quebec ever had, sans their
stupid language law." Irene Goodnite
_______________________________________________
GETTING RID OF GST COULD
STILL BALANCE THE BUDGET
"JEAN CHRETIEN'S
NEW YEAR RESOLUTION SHOULD BE GETTING RID OF THE GST. HE PROMISED DIDN'T HE?
AFTER ALL THE (THE GST) IS BRIAN MULRONEY'S LEGACY."
_______________________________________________
I WISH IT'S TRUE
"I wish all those
economic experts, media, including Statistics Canada are telling us the truth
that our economy is really doing well. I hope it's not like the Canadian dollars
being pumped up every now and then by the Bank of Canada. Divisive or
delusive?" Carmen Mirendas
_______________________________________________
THE BOOM THAT WASN'T
"Come 2003, the
world will find out what the Mid-East Conflict had done to our economy."
Joshua Tanembaum

IS CHINA FOR REAL?
"They have been stealing intellectual
properties since I remember. Look at the market now, they are flooding it with
counterfeit goods. The Western World should question their membership at the WTO."
Stella Marris

JUST GET SADDAM HUSSEIN
OUT OF POWER
"Warring Iraq
because of Saddam is not a simple game.. switch to plan B, ask any of the Arab
countries (to) accept him, his family and followers for safe haven... pay
(bribe) his way if necessary. It's only money... thousands of lives are at stake
on both sides... not counting the number of U.S. and allied soldiers that are
also at risk. Any taker? Sylvia Sims

Provocateur-at-large Jaggi Singh
Violates Israeli Court
"Most
of the soldiers who man checkpoints, who are involved in dealing directly with
Palestinians, are 18- and 19-year-old kids. They're nice guys and girls when
they don't have their uniforms on, but they're not the sharpest knives in the
drawer. I’m in a town near Bethlehem and believes authorities may come looking
for me. Although you'd think that the Israeli occupation forces and the Israeli
police have better things to worry about. I'm not here committing any crimes.
I'm here observing the situation and if they want to come in and get me, I'm not
going out of my way to hide." Singh
told Montreal radio station CJAD
___________
“If this man is arrested
I don’t want my money used to bail him out of his stupidity. Canada should
leave him there for a while or maybe we could forward him (like we do to
unwanted e-mails) somewhere else where he could show his expertise…where they
need people like him doing his stunt.” Joshua
Tanembaum

THE PROBLEM WITH SADDAM
HUSSEIN
"It's going to be a
real disaster in disposing this dictator of Iraq. Unlike another killer Idi Amin
(Uganda), he did not try to attack another country to conquer, that's why when
his end came, Saudi Arabia gave him a place to retire.. with Saddam, none
wants him around even Mohamar Khadafy is afraid of him." Johsua Tanembaum
Celine
Dion
The
best we can produce..
Congratulations
to Celine Dion for having achieved the pinnacle of the entertainment industry,
and Rene Angelil for his superb marketing ability that placed this talent
among the best in the world.. Order of Canada should be conveyed upon this man.

MONTREAL TRIBUNE PICTURE OF THE WEEK. LOOK, THIS YOUNG LADY IS A FIND
The
beautiful face decorating the cover of The Tribune belongs to Jacinthe
Baril.
Born in
Montreal on January 18, 1979, grew up at nearby City of Chateauguay,
earned her
bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science, with specialization on Clinical
Exercise Physiology, at Concordia University. She is presently pursuing her
Masters in the same discipline at McGill University.
She
supports her study working as fitness specialist at Montreal’s Cummings Jewish
Wellness Centre for stroke sufferers, people who underwent hip and knee
replacements and senior citizens. Yes she is single, "too young to get
married yet", she once quipped with a smile, maybe until she gets her Ph D,
and be called a "Doctor"... and.... why not?

THE FIRST LINE OF CHANGE
IN THE U.S. POLICY
"The U.S. Immigration
(INS), got to check their attitude in treating visitors at the border, as
if the U.S. is the gateway to heaven. Be more respectful as countless of
foreigners had been (purposely) humiliated during the past three decades. Great
Majority of Americans doesn't know this.. they are greatest people amongst
democratic countries, and of course second to Canadians, eh?." Joshua

THE
APOLOGY ON HITLER FRYING THE JEWS

"Accept
the apology already. Civilization hasn't been completed yet.. Reconciliation has

SIMPLE ECONOMICS, EH?
BUT WHERE'S THE BOOM?
"Income gap between
organized union and ordinary workers is about 200%, in some cases its three
times. Imagine, an illiterate worker gets $46,000 (per year), compared to
someone with a bachelor's degree at $21,000? Only in Canada, eh? Can any
politician make the difference? No, there's nothing anyone can do but what's
amazing is that the union delivers small portion of vote politicians needs to
win. Hey, what's happening with the majority...? Is it because bunch of
con artists are running our country after Pierre Trudeau retired? Any comment?

everything had been done to keep peace amongst themselves but the hatred is so
deep that this conflict will remain forever which already escalated to worldwide
terrorism... giving birth to many groups such as the one created by Osama Bin
Laden. So, what can be done? Back to diplomacy, step one is for the U.S. to ask
Israel to give back the occupied territories and the killings could fade away,
but we are not going to see that... our grandchildren will. It could also be
that Israel could cause the finality of the world. The Arabs only want to

the word itself, more or less he meant "that Fidel Castro lover"
because Canada didn’t follow the U.S. policy toward Cuba, at that time. But
this one "what a moron" , was uttered without malice. Why do we have
to worry about what political pundits like Patrick Buchanan thinks? It doesn't
really matter. They are just looking for subjects to talk about. Drop this
already. Our dear friend U.S. President George W. Bush, is not worried about

Conrad Black what he thinks of reporters like this? It's something that

also men of peace. Bush, the pharaoh of the century, is killing our children in
Iraq and Israel, an American ally, is bombing homes with elderly women and
children inside using American planes in Palestine. This is enough for the wise
of your leaders to stay away from this band of terror." Chief investigative

laden is still around for economic reason, just like the conflict in the
Mid-East... they just have to keep continuing the killings, and watch out for

being used as an alibi by the fragmented Arab Muslims on its continued hatred of
the the U.S.? Would it not be wise for the Free World or the U.S. to solve
the problem where it started? Simply command Israel to get out of the Occupied
Territories that may spell the beginning of peace? But peace without the 2.5

surplus..we ended up with (wow!) $9.8 billion, and hey what's happening?
Our dollar is (still) almost half the value of our neighbors from the south
...It should have been at par a long time ago since signing the Free Trade..
That's why the Americans are playing tricks on us because we are doing it on
them. So what do you say, Mr. Jean Chretien, would you sit with George W. Bush,
and discuss a better understanding, rather than send your so called
international trade minister to do the job?" cdb

"You
are heading to a disaster the moment you start thinking you are less of
importance or value now than before. That will build an inferiority complex upon
yourself, which will lead you to regrets and miserable life. So, pick all the
pieces, tell yourself, you didn't lose anything but gained a lot to be proud of
what you are now than before." Brigitte Desmarais, businesswoman, Canada

"In
life we take a lot of risk, not only in our jobs, school, family but in our
decisions as well...But in the end, the most important thing is not whether you
made the right decisions or choices, but on the thought that you actually have
the courage to take the risk and you essentially found the answers to the
missing link in life's endless puzzle. Besides mistakes in life are lessons
learned and most often the hardest regret a person can have is not the
things he had done wrong but the ones he didn’t do... Just do that you
think makes you happily and what is right...We paint our own destiny... But
in case of doubt...suspend the action… it’s as simple as that." Riche
Batiancila, 25, professor, college of pharmacy (Far East)

"I
will probably join the separatist in Quebec, establish a republican state
with a weird sense of humor, and make the Americans irritated once in a
while. Why not?...After all they had been making laws thinking that it will
benefit them in the future. In fact, almost about everything works against
them, just check the future, (and) that's later...Ben Bernard

"Israel's

about?" Ted Burner

"History
say's I told you so. When the Conservatives in the early late 80s and early 90's
headed by then Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, were talking about free trade with
the U.S., a writer named Joshua Tanembaum, say's < look, think
about it first, get the best experts advice because no matter what it is, it's
like signing your name with the devil.> Now, was Joshua, almost right? Check
it out... Mulroney practically sold this country to the Americans...He even left
this once grand political party of Canada almost a foot note, or gone with
history. Now, they (U.S.) don't have to finish their revolution against the
British it's already done." cdb

"Yes, I still depend
on my parents. It's not something I am proud for everyone to know. But what can
I do with the system that we are having here in our country, even (us)
professionals are under paid. I don't think I am spoiled. I guess my
parents just knew that I won't survive without them. That's why I'm aiming to
get out of here, as a pharmacy professor and a law degree on hand what’s my
chances of getting hired in North America? Would anyone be interested to hire
me? For goodness sake I am only 25 years old and already have a huge
problem." Riche Batiancila

"It's "May Day" today, a
very special day to all nations outside North America, and they call it
"Labor Day". Without those organizations protecting workers,
nothing could have improved the lives of those who leads now. Congratulations

"If
the Americans are just going to use us a target practice, we might as well leave
them alone fighting what they call terrorism. Let's keep our armed forces out
from their reach. We need them here for ourselves." Martin Waters

"Israelis
made a huge mistake when they handed Gen. Ariel Sharon, carte blanche to attack,
occupy and massacre so many Palestinians, to stop the suicide bombers. Well,
this time he just added another 50 years of more killings on top of what was
before. If (only) the Jews could have just walk away from the occupied
territory, the conflict could have been shortened by five years." Gwen

"Ariel
Sharon just added another ten years of retaliation from relatives of those he
had massacred in Palestine. If he had killed 500 by average 5 relatives per
Palestinian would avenge the mayhem. That's an additional potential
suicide bombers of 2,500 and this time the target would not be confined on
Israelis alone but to those innocent Jews around the world, especially the ones
in the U.S. Now, how can the Americans fix this problem? Not in our life, they
won't. "I will have all my boys sacrifice their lives for Palestine, say's
