It must have been hard for Mr Cannon to grovel at The Colonel's feet.

Perhaps he will get the opportunity to attend his funeral.

It sounds a bit tinfoilish, but maybe that's one reason why the government was so quick to jump on the "Let's bomb Libya" parade.

Placating Gadhafi was very popular until recently.

Isn't it amazing how there seems to be so many people that want to dig up dirt about the current government. These are, more than likely, the same bunch that dug up dirt about any of the previous governments,

Canada has always played the role of peace-keeper, trying to keep the bully from beating up the weak one, If Canadians had the guts we would act as peace-keepers between the US and so many countries,

Every country has played both sides of every conflict when it has benefited them so lets not jump on the bandwagon and judge political agendas
