Ashcroft Says U.S. Needs Canada's Help to Thwart Terror
http://ap.tbo.com/ap/breaking/MGBK141VM0E.html


OTTAWA (AP) - Attorney General John Ashcroft on Friday said the United States needs Canada's help to thwart terrorism and to secure the vast border between the two countries.

Ashcroft, who met with Canadian Justice Minister Irwin Cotler and Deputy Prime Minister Anne McLellan, said it's possible a terrorist could enter the United States from Canada.

Ashcroft said the United States can't by itself secure what is called the world's longest undefended border.

3. Ashcroft, Ridge and Celluci have all been shilling lately...
they are pushing for MDS, creeps. All this "we need Canada" is simply to push for us participating in MDS which most Canadians are against.

One would think at this 'dangerous' time in the US, according to Ridge, they would be back in the US workin to catch the terra-ists!

4. Is he saying * is too weak to protect me????????????
Canada has to protect me from "tairarists?"

Whatever happened to the global test and not turning our security over to foreign countries?

France has the flu vaccine, and Canada has to protect our borders?

Jeez!

14. He got his in DC - but check his luggage, he's likely to be smuggling.
A republiCON never misses an opportunity to turn a buck in war-time, ya know.

6. I Am Disappointed That Mr. Ashcroft is Compromising His Family Values!
Edited on Fri Oct-22-04 05:43 PM by coreystone
I would believe that the Attorney General of the United States of America, having spent so much money of the taxpayers money to “drape” a work of art in his “briefing room” of a “nude” sculpture, would have more sense than to support a request for help from Canada. It surely seems as though he willing to “sleep” with the enemy of “family values”. Well, I guess that he comes from the “show me” state. Harry Truman took responsibility for what he had seen.

Oh! John……maybe the buck stops in Quebec, but, I can’t believe you would be willing to deal with such “anti-family” family values.

CANADA

“Prostitution Status: Prostitution is legal; pimping and operating or being found in or working in a "bawdy house" (every place where one or more prostitutes regularly work or where "indecent acts" are performed) are not. Solicitation in public is also illegal, which covers street and hotel prostitution. Massage parlours which provide handjobs or more are semi-tolerated. Generally the best bet are outcall escort services (which operate on shaky ground also, but are legal for both the prostitute and the customer) and independant call girls. There has been one report about a sting operation in Ontario, directed against an owner of an escort service. A detailed analysis of the Canadian laws is available. A coalition to Reform the Bawdy House Act has been formed. For more information on the legal situation in Canada, check the web site of the Sex Worker's Alliance of Vancouver.”

10. Actually, there's a precedent for this.
Several years back, some Palestinian terrorists were caught trying to get through Canada into the States with fake Canadian passports.

15. they should have thought of that before they pissed off the Canadians!
the Bushies have been SO rude and arrogant and obnoxious to Canada that I don't think they can expect any assistance, despite Martin's pledge.

Typical Bush foreign policy: Undermining the things that really help keep us secure: good relations with close allies.

22. Not to worry Dem2
Any decision to abett the terrorist Bu$sh Been Hidin in Canada would be political suicide.



If BBH gets elected again think "1812" ... we are ready and willing.

21. Little Johnny Asscrack a delusional religious nut-case
Edited on Sat Oct-23-04 06:08 AM by saigon68
An underling in the family of Bush Criminals. In the deck he is something like the 8 of clubs.

He is not an independent thinker. After losing a senate race to a dead man who outpolled him. Asscrack sold his soul to the Bush Criminals. He like a good Nazi, obeys his masters to the most minute degree.

24. What? After we kicked Canada like a dog over their ...
"3rd world tainted, terrorist poisoned prescription drugs", then wanted ALL their flu vaccine (give it to us NOW!) we want them to help us out now?

I am sorry, I think Canada, who has been the best of neighbors, ought to tell us to fuck off.

Saying no to our demand for their flu vaccine was a start...tough love is needed from Canada now.
