A free public service offered by Paul Kemp - Central Nova - Nova Scotia There are ten steps, or stages, to the evolution of a practical and efficient form of representative government, and these are: 1. Freedom of the person. Slavery, serfdom, and all forms of human bondage must disappear. 2. Freedom of the mind. Unless a free people are educated -- taught to think intelligently and plan wisely -- freedom usually does more harm than good. 3. The reign of law. Liberty can be enjoyed only when the will and whims of human rulers are replaced by legislative enactments in accordance with accepted fundamental law. 4. Freedom of speech. Representative government is unthinkable without freedom of all forms of expression for human aspirations and opinions. 5. Security of property. No government can long endure if it fails to provide for the right to enjoy personal property in some form. Man craves the right to use, control, bestow, sell, lease, and bequeath his personal property. 6. The right of petition. Representative government assumes the right of citizens to be heard. The privilege of petition is inherent in free citizenship. 7. The right to rule. It is not enough to be heard; the power of petition must progress to the actual management of the government. 8. Universal suffrage. Representative government presupposes an intelligent, efficient, and universal electorate. The character of such a government will ever be determined by the character and caliber of those who compose it. As civilization progresses, suffrage, while remaining universal for both sexes, will be effectively modified, regrouped, and otherwise differentiated. 9. Control of public servants. No civil government will be serviceable and effective unless the citizenry possess and use wise techniques of guiding and controlling officeholders and public servants. 10. Intelligent and trained representation. The survival of democracy is dependent on successful representative government; and that is conditioned upon the practice of electing to public offices only those individuals who are technically trained, intellectually competent, socially loyal, and morally fit. Only by such provisions can government of the people, by the people, and for the people be preserved.

Canada backs Israeli attack on Iran?

 
 

Canada backs Israeli attack on Iran?
Sun, 01 Mar 2009 12:39:56 GMT

Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper says he will side with Israel against Iran in the event of war.

Canada casts new aspersions on Iran's nuclear activities, vowing to throw its weight behind Israel in the event of a military conflict.

In his harshest rhetoric so far, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper vowed steadfast support for Israel and claimed that the Iranian government has "evil" purposes for its technological achievements.

"My government is a very strong supporter of the state of Israel and considers the Iranian threats to be absolutely unacceptable and beyond the pale," said The Canadian prime minister, the Wall Street Journal's online edition reported.

The comments come while The Islamic Republic has long been a supporter of peace in the region and is among the states that have never invaded or threatened to invade another country.

"It concerns me that we have a regime with both an ideology that is obviously evil, combined with a desire to procure technology to act on that ideology," Harper said.

Western accusations against Iran gathered pace, after the country staged successful tests at the 1000-megawatt light-water reactor facility in Bushehr, stimulating fuel rods with lead rather than virtual nuclear fuel.

While the pilot operations were seen as a milestone in the construction of Iran's first nuclear power plant, it provoked a tidal wave of criticism from Israel and its Western allies.

The US, Israel and their European allies accuse Tehran of making efforts to develop a military nuclear program. Iran, however, dismisses the allegations, saying it will prove the civilian nature of its uranium enrichment in future negotiations.

Canada has been Zionist occupied territory for some time now. People in Canada have to face up to the reality that Stephen Harper gets his marching orders from his masters who answer to Tel Aviv first. When will Canadians wake up and fight back against this criminality?

Harper is a Nazi Bilderberg puppet and he does not speak for the majority of Canadians. He and his freemason friends are setting Israel up to be wiped out. The Nazis who run Bilderberg tried before to wipe out the Jewish people and now they have Israelis trapped inside a wall built by themselves, waiting for the final solution. Israelis need to wake up to this before it is too late.

It took Iran a while to respond to the Gaza occupation. Too long. Highly suspicious activities going on among the leaders of all these nations. Stinks of secret collaboration. Iran has a future, but Israel does not. That is the plan being instigated even by the current rulers of Israel. Truth is stranger than fiction!

What a gratuitous sucker, that Harper. He supports Israel who is fresh out of a genocide and calls Iran, because Iran condemns the genocidal, illegal zionist regime. Well, Iran is not evil. Iran is a just, peaceful country that is standing up to the Zionists and their ilk. That is what drives stooges like Harper mad. So be it, that Canadian sucker.
Canada is about to join the Criminal State(Israel)

I am a Canadian and as far as I know Harper is a Jewish slave. What do we expect from a Jewish or a Jewish slave. We all know Israel is wrong and has no right to attack Palastine or Iran. Why does Israel get to get anything they want and not others? This not Justice. Death to Israel and to its stupid and fool supporters.

"By deception shall we do war" is how Zionists work - we need to be vocal in the face of the shills who try and cause confusion and rattle on about their self created "islamofacism" red herring to try and distract people from the truth. Zionists want global government and they are trying to cause (another) world war to move towards that. Stand strong against them.

In Reference to P.M. OF Canada I don’t know how this SOB thinks that he has a mandate to dictate the foreign policies of Canada on behalf of Canadians as he has never received a clear majority in parliament. If he is so keen to throw his support for Israel against Iran then I recommend he get himself a gun and join the I.D.F because Canada has no need for lose canons here.

Harper was a member of a coalition party that was fronted by insurance companies (no fault of our own , cha-ching!) working to destroy the Canadian health care system. His main job is to increase corporate control over Canada politics.

About 80% of Canadians are not on the Israel wagon. Harper is so dillusional now, the conservative party so full of itself that Canadians are beginning to wonder if there will be anything left when he leaves. Harper is a corporate cult member.

I always thought Canadians were smarter than Americans. Were there really that many Canadian morons that voted for this guy (Harper)? Were your elections rigged? He may actually be as stupid as George W. Bush!

Harper, and his idiot "defense" minister, Peter McKay are two of the last neo-cons still standing. We Canadians must remove them. Israel, the "mad dog" state must be caged; maybe like they have done to Gaza. Quarantine, boycott,sanction.

Back Up everyone. If any of you knows history, you will know that Canada is a peaceful country. We Canadians do not like Israel We know they are the real theat.

Four Canadian soldiers were killed and eight wounded yesterday when they were mistakenly bombed by a patrolling US F-16 jet during night training near Kandahar, southern Afghanistan. The soldiers were on a live-firing exercise in the desert nine miles south of Kandahar at a former al-Qaida camp routinely used by western forces for training.

Harper obviously sounds like a total lackey of Israel. I wonder how Canadians tolerate his foolishness. He certainly talks like a complete fool rather than a statesman. Jewish money apparently goes a bit farther in Canada than some other places. So help them God. I am really amazed at the RUBISH and total non-sense this "learn the truth" guy it posting here. Wow, he seems so far behind...

as far as I am concerned Harper only speaks for himself, for the obvious reason that he has the minority Government, and believe it or not next election he will be booted out!
