If you listen to the liberals and what they are saying about the F-35 fighter jet contract.
"The Liberals say that if they form the next government, they will put on hold a much-rumoured $16-billion sole-sourced fighter jet contract..."
This sounds familiar, to all of us. It was when in 1993 Prime Minister Elect Jean Chretien cancelled the EH101 helicopter contract, costing us taxpayers $500 million, just to cancel the job. Over the next several years the Chretien government cut back on healthcare (remember the '95 budget when Paul Martin cut $25 billion) and Defense. What happens next is there would be a terrorist attack (9-11) and Canada would be asked to send 1,000 troops into Afghanistan. But there was a problem. We couldn't move them. Not the troops or any equipment. It could be embarrassing. There we excuses by Chretien himself who said that most countries don't do their own deployment that they usually ask other
countries to do it. He said the U.S. and Britain are the only exceptions. But to myself I would ask, even if that were true, why wouldn't we do our own deployment anywhere, including our own Country. We have a small population, but Canada is still very wealthy, very rich in resources. It is a very huge land mass. to cover, and protect. And these liberals want to leave it unprotected by taking apart it's Defense. Again.
It's easier to take something apart then to build it.
What's more, it costs more. The liberals have always been against the Armed forces. So who are they to criticize this Government over it's acquisition of fighter jets? It may cost more, even more then what people wish for or expect. The latest figure I've heard is $35 billion. But ask this: Would you spend the money to feel protected and even to feel a little bit of pride knowing that our Country is protected from foreign enemy? The same fighter jet (F-35) that costs maybe $35 million today will cost $40 million in another year or two. The liberal way is just cancel the thing and it costs nothing.
But let's go back to that penalty for cancelling that EH-101 helicopter program. $500 million dollars. Did it make a difference? Did taxes go up? Well, I think the liberals would have done what they were going to do, with or without that contract. But the difference is that we did without that helicopter and instead we were stuck with those Sea King Helicopters which we knew, could not do the job. It could not do search and rescue missions, it could not deploy any troops anywhere, not from one city like toronto to halifax. It costs so many more millions just to just to keep them afloat. For years, the Conservatives told them to spend more money on Defense. Prime Minister Stephen Harper when in Opposition promised he would build the armed forces back to it's respectable image it once had.
I'm not going to pretend I know everything about this subject but I do know that liberals have never supported the armed forces. They cancel current military contracts, they cut their budget, there are soldiers' who waited for years for compensation for being injured in the line of duty, which during the 1990's was mostly peacekeeping missions. There was no new equipment, no recruitment, just an excuse from Jean Chretien said we don't need a Defense. We don't need a new tank.
If there were going to be a layoff in the Chretien Government, Art Eggleton (Minister of Defense) would have been the first to go.
One other thing, the '95 budget the liberals cut $25 billion dollars in Healthcare spending. That's a lot of money. That will make a big difference in how our healthcare is delivered. What if there was no Doctor or Ex-ray technician. What if we waited for hours to see a Doctor?
Can the liberals honestly say that they wouldn't cut what Canadians call our most sacred social program in the Country? The answer is Yes they would, they already have. They will do it again. I'm not
saying there should not be a private system. If it would cost less. A lot less. It's not the end of the world.
We'll be okay. Jean Chretien said in '93 he would get rid of the GST. I'd like to see what liberals will say when Healthcare is gone. Here is the latest:

Star's Stories are foolish.
Hello everyone and I hope you're having a nice time and a good day. I'd like to comment on the Toronto Star which is liberal and is why you hear very little about McGuinty's resignation and the people like Gerard Kennedy who want the Premier's chair and office. The Star does take shots at the Conservatives and their mideast policy and why they say it only isolates Canada from the rest of the world. There's a couple of topics I'd like to cover which are both on the same page of the newspaper.
I'm glad that this Conservative government has chosen to take a side, which is to support Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The other subject is about legalizing marijuana. And it comes from someone who smokes the stuff.
The first subject the columnist (Haroon Siddiqui) says Canada, once an honored place in the world has supported Israel. But in doing so it has turned it's back on the Palestinian Authority. That is how it is suppose to work because they are enemies of Israel. We cannot support Palestinians because Canada is allies with the Nation Israel. That's not a bad thing. But the UN vote over the recognizing of the Palestinian State, was favored 138-9 with 41 who abstained from the vote. I believe Australia was one of those abstaining. But again, is it such a bad thing to vote against even though most people favored? Yes! It is is okay to stand alone. Because if you're right, if you're honest, you will, maybe eventually, become favored among the people. Dare to be a Daniel. If you're interested in reading the Bible look up Zechariah 2:8. You will find that anyone who hurts Israel will offend God. That's serious. But this writer and probably that newspaper doesn't look at that or believe in it really so they do things according to their own policy, which is foolish. They are a liberal supporting newspaper.
Which brings me to my next point.
Who here has smoke pot? most people have. But I haven't since 1988. Okay so I have but according to
Michael Ashby, the Director of the National Pardon Centre, well, he still does smoke the stuff. When no one's around. His argument, "Legalizing marijuana is not about good vs. bad or right vs. wrong." He in fact says it's about a person's ability to make the decision not to do so, or maybe that we'll do so responsibly. But that being said, let's legalize anyway. I immediately think of verses in the Bible where "God gave them over to a depraved mind to do what ought not to be done." (Romans 1: 28). They did not retain the knowledge of God. The knowledge of God is in the Bible. "Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools." Romans 1:22.
It could be said that legalizing it will save from the courts who impose sentences for people who do. Or that legalizing could mean revenue from taxes, and even though the writer says forget about that stuff, I know he still supports it. What I think this writer needs to look at is this.
MARIJUANA IS BAD!
It makes people do bad things because their mind in directly influenced by a controlled substance. It makes people do foolish things like drive a car, fall off a building. Climb to the top. They are not in control. It makes them happy. Until they do something foolish. The foolish thing could get them dead. It can hurt someone else. And that is why I wonder why he supports this and why the Star allows this in it's edition. Most of us have never been the victim in a crime. Thankfully. But if there are people who are victims, an example being a lost love one from a vehicle driven by someone intoxicated, it can also happen by someone under the influence of the controlled substance. The person under the influence can also die in an accident. There is a reason why we have laws in place to protect us from ourselves, which reading down to the 3rd paragraph, Ashby says we don't need that. I guarantee you this.
There will be more people kept alive if this drug stays illegal then not.
And again, about the Tories support of Israel. They have the right to defend their land from foreign enemies. I would be proud to support them.
Take care,
Have a nice day.
