Probably because of the fact that the Conservative party of France together with their president Sarkovy have won by landslide and that the Philippine government itself is conservative. Gloria is pro-Bush. Sarkovy is too. What's good for them Canadians is that the new Conservative government of France supports Canadian federalism, is anti-socialist, anti-communist and anti-Quebec separatist. The Socialist presidential candidate Royal lost because of her support for Quebec separatism which level headed French would outrightly reject for being "subversive and unpatriotic". For the French, socialism is Quebec separatism. Democracy is anti-separatism. Simple as that kind of equation.:armyLol: I also get non-stop provocation, harrassment, and threats everywhere i go because of this poem. They're everywhere. Tens of thousands of them. Socialist Party of France, Parti Communiste du Quebec, Parti Quebecois, separatist businessmen, con artists, hookers, bullies. Everybody is trying to get me because of this poem. I'm better than James Bond. A VERY CRITICAL AND DANGEROUS THREAT what shall be our solid assurance from Royal that the missiles of france will not be directly aimed at hamilton or at the busy streets of halton what then shall be our guarantee from the socialist separatists that canadians shall not be her colonial slave protagonists like what villainous de Gaulle did to Vietnam and turned her into a bedlam while we give equal status to the french language our sincerity and good faith Royal refuses to gauge while we give quebec and lucien autonomy in french language we study taxonomy others think you are one of those breeds of racists social and language barriers that make you antagonists you are lucky you are not in a communist state you are lucky canada has been in a tolerant state for you had been in iraq and not free to the guillotine you go or get hanged on a tree so be satisfied with the status quo and mind your own business and watch liberty grind

No problem but unfortunately I don't know anything else. Whatever I got was from a couple GoodSearch queries and a visit to Wikipedia. Sorry. :/ |

That's one angle. Or maybe, the French govt need to learn something from us on counter-tero. Training or either cooperation like with the Aussies. There are a lot of Moslems living in France by the way and as per report they are beginning to become a source of irritation to the govt. The Moslems are asking for more privilege to enjoy living the Islam way. Remember the news about the Moslem women were being advised or encouraged not to wear veil to help curb terrorism? The Moslems outside of France reacted negatively enough. |

Meir Dagan of Mossad, our reliable partner in counter terrrorism advised all intelligence agencies all over the world to "liaise with Securitae" as a potent force in combatting terrorism to which I give my assent. You are right, Sir Flipzi. I have confidence with them because the Conservatives have taken hold of government instead of the Socialists who has sabotaged almost every effort to combat terrorism. Example, why not ask the troops if they want to go to Iraq? Why ask the activists? |
