183...Peter Van Loan, Please, Snap Them On

Your testicles that is.

Story from www.CBC.ca this morning stating that Canadian border guards abandoned their posts early Monday at a U.S. border crossing at Cornwall, Ont., after talks broke down with Mohawk officials over the arming of border guards.

First off, why is the Conservative government so afraid of 400/200 angry non Canadians? Mohawk leaders from the Akwesasne Mohawk territory, which straddles the borders of Quebec, Ontario and New York, say they don't want the guards to be armed because it would violate their sovereignty and increase the likelihood of violent confrontations. If they, the Mohawks are a sovereign nation, and I will give them that, why are they dictating what our [bigger by the way, we have an army and everything] sovereign nation can do to protect our borders?

Public Safety Minister Peter Van Loan's office said the issue is out of its hands.

Whoah, repeat that.

Public Safety Minister Peter Van Loan's office said the issue is out of its hands.

One more time.

Public Safety Minister Peter Van Loan's office said the issue is out of its hands.

It is not your problem PVL, well, if it is not your problem, who's problem is it?

Ask your legislative assistant where he keeps your testicles Petey, snap them on and get to work.

180...Either It Is A Country, Or It Is Not

I love the Mohawks and the Akwesasne Nation, I really do. They have stones. Big ones, really, really big ones.

In today's Ottawa Citizen they, the Mohawk Warrior component of Akwesasne, are talking about shutting down the border with Canada if the Canadian border guards starting carrying guns, as planned, at midnight tonight.

Fair enough.

Except for a couple of things.

First off, the Yankee guards have been carrying since 1789; how come the Mohawk Warriors are not and have not shut down that border? Could it be that the United States government scares the f'k out of them and we, well, don't? If we don't, shouldn't we? You know, Teddy Roosevelt, "Walk softly, but carry a big stick."

Secondly, well, either they are a country, nation, state or not. Geez, isn't time for the Canadian government, that's you Prime Minister Steve, to man up here?

This nation within a nation thing, both for Quebec and Akwesasne is getting a bit tired. And, when you consider Akwesasne is partially inside Quebec, well, now you have a nation inside a nation inside a nation.

Confused?

I am.

Stay tuned, the s't is supposed to hit the fan at midnight tonight.
