This is Robtard Ford we're dealing with. He's stubborn and pig headed. Back when Chief Blair said TPS had the crack tape should have been signal enough for Ford to resign immediately. But he has no dignity, no shame. He will do the public perp walk when it comes and will not surrender because...

Edward Keenan has a good article on Ford in this week's eye: http://www.eyeweekly.com/city/notebook/article/109102 That article sums it up for me. Ford's clearly a facile fool, but that's irrelevant. He's a populist conservative. Just does as the "people" say, just 'cause they say it - it...

All politicians are all about themselves without exception at any level of governance! It's so Canadian to resent that!

How sad. Human Rights Watch.org is an ideologically-based organization. HRW.org was expelled from Venezuela for breaking Venezuelan law. And HRW.org was harshly criticised by 118 luminaries and academics such as Noam Chomsky and Oliver Stone here.. Humanrightswatch.org sources' were...

I understand your point here. However, everyone likes to bash Chavez for being dramatic and outspoken, so what if he talks for hours on public television and insults Bush. There is little understanding about how terrible it was for the majority prior to Chavez. There were NO social programs...

Mot, ShonTron, DarkStar, KeithZ: Do you people accept Jimmy Carter, and his Carter Centre as a fair arbiter of legal and transparent election processes? If you DO accept the Carter Center's efforts as an accurate measure of electoral validity in Venezuela (as the Carter Centre was asked to...

Venezuelan elections are monitored by international groups, the Carter Centre disagrees with your claim of voter fraud. Also, El Universal is an escualido publication. Reporting misinformation against Chavez is their policy. This is a load of crapola. Please, truly think about it for a...

Hipster certainly did not. No one posting so far on this thread has given me a concrete example of Chavez's supposed misuses of power. Funny how no one cares when George W. Bush misuses his power, they only raise a stink when a Latin American leftist leader invests in his own country and Canada...

Found some info on Venezuelan recycling programs and environmental issues: http://www.venezuelanalysis.com/analysis/797 cell phone recycling program in Vlza: http://www.recellular.com/about/news36.asp http://www.venezuelanalysis.com/analysis/3324 There's also a quote by Marc...

They should, of course, institute recycling programs, hopefully that will come soon. Look how long it;s taken Canada and we're not even as efficient as we could be, it varies from city to city here, Ottawa does nothing, toronto is more forward thinking with respect to recycling programs. But...

If by 'fooling the poor' you mean instituting access to healthcare in the barrios and beyond, literacy programs, communal hydroponic and community gardens, then so be it. I call it social programs which benefit many many previously ignored, people. Please give an example your so-called...

!Y QUE VIVA CHAVEZ!

yeah that

On an internet forum quoting the rules of logic is exactly like a Board of Directors referencing Robert Rules, when the only time a Board uses Roberts Rules is when it's completely dysfuntional! You were using Pinochet's name and banking on many people's ignorance of what he did, using...

:X

For the millionth time if I have to, Chavez is a democratically elected leader. Not a dictator. If the people decide he can have more terms as president it will be a decision made by the people. Not a top-down, imposed one. Chavez is loved Urban Toronto readers, dearly and vehemently, in...

Yeah cause the internets knows everything, even colloquialisms specific to non-English speaking countries. The term came into use to describe the opposition because Chavez once used it in a speech, not directed at anyone at the time, but it came into use that way. The 2002 attempted coup was...

No actually, as I stated above, escualido means "those in the corner"

You name dropped Pinochet after I referenced the established Latin American practice of leaders conversing with their supporters during speeches thereby equating democratically elected president of Venezuela Hugo Chavez with the dictator Pinochet. You could have used Che Guevara as an example of...

That's like saying Pierre Trudeau and George W. Bush are one and the same because they both ruled countries in North America. Equating 2 Latin American leaders merely because they were leaders of countries in South American smacks loudly of raciscm. Chavez helped Venezuela establish a...
