This Will Backfire On These " Multi-cult-ural " Communities. Operative part of that word being " CULT ". They come to Canada, many trying to get away from oppression by leaders of cults that have them making war on each other for wearing the wrong clothes or attending the wrong gatherings, only to find the Canadian Govt.'s policy of Multi-cult-ural-ism allowing the very same things to go on here, all well concealed within their " communities ". It is T-R-I-B-A-L-I-S-M by any other name, and as long as the Govt. continues this practice of funding and encouraging communities within communities within communities, this will be just another episode in a very long string of episodes , both past and present. It is well known in the " communities " that it is " them " against " us ", unless of course things get out of hand within the collective ( ie : Sikhs agi'n Punjabis ), and they then need " our " help.But still no one will speak for fear of being offed in the middle of the night, or in broad daylight for that matter, by enforcers of the tribe. Anne McLellan, should NOT bow under pressure of those who shout : RACIST!!!! at the drop of a hat when they don't get their own way. However, I would love nothing more than this to escalate to the point where tribalism amongst " ethnic communities " is brought to the forefront of discussion in this country, and this doomed to fail " OFFICIAL MULTICULTURALISM " is addressed openly without fear of being considered racist. Canadians won't be holding their collective breath on that one.We are " toooooo nice " apparently to address a growing problem in this country that will lead to fighting in the streets between gangs. OH WAIT! That is already happening,but the mainstream press won't even identify it for what it is.They won't even print the names of people involved in the gang and tribal wars for fear of inciting a racist backlash against them. This will only get worse Darren. Hey look! We actually agree on something!! LOLOLOL!! E'M'

Any liberal lovers care to comment? NATIONAL POST Latest News canada.com Sub fleet will prove its worth: Graham Dirk Meissner Canadian Press Tuesday, March 29, 2005 VICTORIA (CP) -- Canada's beached submarine fleet will prove its military worth once the investigation into last October's deadly fire on board the HMCS Chicoutimi is completed, Defence Minister Bill Graham said Tuesday. The Canadian Navy is anxious to get the Chicoutimi and three sister subs back into service, he said. But it is awaiting the results of a broad investigation into the accident and examination of safety and operational issues. An electrical fire during the Chicoutimi's maiden voyage to Canada from Britain claimed the life of Lieut. Chris Saunders and injured eight other crew members. "I believe this fleet will prove its worth to Canada and we're anxious to get it to a position where it can do so," Graham said. The defence minister was in Victoria visiting CFB Esquimalt, the headquarters of Canada's Pacific fleet. He made the comments about the submarine fleet while on board the destroyer HMCS Algonquin. "Clearly we are all anxious to get the submarines back at sea as quickly as we can," said Graham. "The most important thing for the navy is the safety of our men and women who serve." A date for the release of the inquiry report has not been set, but there has been speculation it could be as early as next month or some time this summer. Graham said Canada's four submarines, all docked since the Chicoutimi fire, will play a vital role in strengthening Canada's military presence at home. "They can be used as part of the maritime surveillance in a very effective way," he said. "I regret very much the terrible accident that cost Lieut. Saunders his life." A large wave is believed to have washed over the submarine last Oct. 5, allowing water to pour into the control room, soaking an electrical junction box, which shorted and caused a fire. The Chicoutimi was travelling on the surface with two large hatches open when the wave hit, something submariners say is not considered safe while a vessel is under way. The used British-built warship, one of four acquired under an $891-million lease-to-purchase program, had a history of electrical problems. © Canadian Press 2005
