Geez, the Mulroney government IS alive and well in Canada.

Looks like the Oak Leaf on Canada''s flag just dried up & blew away in the wind.

The United States does not engage in torture because Bush said so. So there, neener, neener, neener.

[l8c6]

So political pressure forced Canada to deny their honest assessment?

Just because the U.S. was removed from the list does not mean that Canada doesn''t believe they torture. They obviously had the guts to put it out there to begin with and let''s face it, even for a short time it let people know exactly what we think and know.

Who knows what Bush was doing after he heard this. It may not be that Canada has no guts, it may just be a matter of keeping peace with our neighbors until the idiot is removed from office. I don''t think you want to be warring with another country at this time, do you?

Canada continues to sell itself and its citizens down the fascist Washington toilet:

It is following the CFR policy for hemispheric integration under the Security and Prosperity Pact signed in March, 2005. Canadians, like Americans, will enjoy open borders and pay for the construction of massive infrastructural projects such as the North American Corridor.

Ok, close your eyes and pretend that there is no torture in Guantanamo, even though the CIA already admitted to drowning people for fun. Close your eyes and go to your happy places to eat happy meals and pretend 9-11 never happened. Society is doing an awesome job pretending there is no war in Iraq right now, nobody really cares what happens to those that weren''t smart to go to college or didn''t have the money, they already assume they are cannon futter and don''t have the guts or brains to do anything about those poor illiterate souls. Society only cares about the oil price, getting their 5 extra bucks with lower taxes, social responsibility is null. It''s the same to have a dictatorship with rigged elections.

What a bunch of cowards up there in Canada, the world knows what our so called government is doing.

[neoconrcrazy]

"It also named Israel, Afghanistan, China, Egypt, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Mexico and Syria as places where inmates could face torture."

if memory serves, we sent guys to a couple of those countries to be "interror-gated" and even cited their "confessions"!

does that not smack of hypocrisy?
