[VegChat] From Michael Moore, to Canada

[K]

Beg to diifer.  During the US primaries, the websites of the candidates clearly demonstrate that south of the border, they still have not come to terms with basic human rights issues, which have long been part of our national fabric.  Why during the reigns of Carter, Clinton, both dems, did national health care become a reality?  No.  And their atttitude towards the right to bear arms?  As for native issues....we are light years ahead in progressive thinking...would they ever make concessions to those mexicans they displaced when the us invaded texas?  would they ever recognize the spanish language or culture of others?    no canadian party remotely approaches the right wing philosophy of the us dems.

The Conservative Party intends to cut funds to First Nations, cut social programs, support private medical care, and they are going to dismiss the Kyoto Protocol, as Michael Moore said.

  Our "Conservative" Party is far more Liberal minded than the alleged "left" party of the US - the Democrats.  Stephen Harper is not George Bush.   And he is a hell of a lot more Liberal than Kerry.    Kilometres apart.   You didn't see Harper out shooting a goose during the campaign to appeal to the pseudo-he men voters the way Kerry did - Kerry the great democrat - we all hoped he would beat Bush.  But Kerry who spoke out against Vietnam because too many people died, goes and shoots a goose to prove he is a "man".  What pandering.    That was the only life that goose had.  What right did he have to kill it?   A mere photo op for the Neanderthal voters.
   
  Michael Moore has vilified vegetarians in some of his books.  If he is such the great activist, why not go further and demonstrate that he really does care for the planet (and he is one person who could really use a veggie diet!) 
   
  Michael, don't tell us how to be.  We are light years ahead of your "democracy".
