Rex Murphy had his say on the Vancouver Riot. Please Click HERE
After listening to Rex - here's the only reply I have.
It was absolutely awful - you reap what you sow - remember this is exactly how the government acted at the G8 G20. If Rex replaced the pictures with that event - we could review how ordinary citizens holding a peaceful and legal protest were treated like they were in a third world dictatorship. People rebel against such government tyranny.
Is this an excuse? No! Should we expect it? Probably. Stephen Harper will strip all pride from the people of this country and people without pride do awful things.
When the Prime Minister is in contempt - what should we expect of citizens?
When the Prime Minister lies - what should we expect of citizens?
When the Prime Minister ignores the law - what should we expect of citizens?
When the Prime Minister travels to Boston on our dime - in our jet to watch a hockey game while his Minister of Finance is delivering news of massive program cuts - what should we expect of citizens?
Take a long look at Vancouver - Canada - this is just the tip of the right-wing fanatic revolution.

Sue: I think are on the right track. I also suggest that when the rioters are apprehended, an analysis be made of their characteristics. I believe we would find that the rioters are fed up with a system that offers youth little hope for their futures and little sense in the way the country is run with all its lies, hypocrisy, lack of opportunity, fairness and common decency. I'm old but would not wish to be young today. Bill McKinnon, Halifax, NS
When Newfoundland and Labrador was brought into the Canadian Federation, basically because it was chock a block full of natural resources and having the perfect location which saw Canada complete from East to West and as far Northward as it could go in Eastern North America, and then the receiving country, Canada, set out to pilfer those natural resources and depopulate it of its human resource for the benefit of creating vibrant economies in the other provinces, without first giving thought to building a vibrant economy in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador from its own resource base, the image you should evoke here with that knowledge is that there was a lot of corruption going on for such a despicable thing to happen. AND what type of government and politicians would allow that to happen? Not very trustworthy I would say and how can it be given the tilt that is in the House of Commons with 308 MPs and just Seven of these MPs belonging to the province of Newfoundland and Labrador. A very simple question needs to be asked, and maybe that is where the Inquiry should begin, and the Terms of Reference around that Inquiry should be limitless.
After all according to the Prime Minister of Canada in 1949, Louis St. Laurent in his speech to the Canadian Nation said that Canada had dreamt of acquiring Newfoundland and Labrador to that point for 80 years, since Canada's inception in 1867 and, in my words, it finally got it through hook or crook.
