Compared to the Liberals who were in power for 13 years George is a newcomer. We have 13 native reserves where the natives water went bad at the beginning of the Liberal Rule, and 13 years later, they still had to boil water to take a bath. Imagine living in a place where all the water is bad, all the time. So bad that you cannot afford to let it touch your skin or you can get sick. Hundreds of Canadians don't have decent water to drink. There was a dispute 10 years ago about a place called Ipperwash, a man died, shot by a policeman. There is no doubt it belongs to the natives, but the Liberals wouldn't settle their claim. It has been going on since 1945, and it is their land, there is a treaty guaranteeing them it will be returned, but it has live ammunition on it, and the government doesn't want to clean up the mess they made. While our natives live in hovels and have huge problems with flooding and suicide and drug Use, the Canadian government donated a village to a country in Africa, complete with Cable, air conditioning, and telephone hookups. But people who live in canada have nothing. natives end up evacuated 2 or three times a year from one reservation. Our Armed forces have Helicopters that were bought when Kennedy was president, the helicopters are called Sea Kings, but they don't float and they keep falling out of the sky, the Liberals Cancelled the replacements when they came into office, and never bothered to source out new ones. Prime Minister Chretien did buy himself a couple of new jets to keep up with Bill Clinton though. When Canadians were sent to Afghanistan, the US had to give them a ride, because we couldn't transport them that far. The best ship in the formerly great Canadian navy is called the Haida, it just got a new bottom, it is also a museum. The Liberals bought Used Submarines for the navy, and then left them for years in England. Now they don't work, no use makes them rust. We have health care, sometimes the wait for an MRI is 6 months, the waiting list for Cataracts under the liberals is 3 years. You are not allowed to get them done privately if you have the money, because the doctors cannot do them. When my Dad needed a knee he was refused, too old. 6 years later he is still in pain, and still can't have a knee he is too old. People die in Canada waiting for health care. We cannot buy it if we can afford it, but the politicians go to the front of the list, they have no idea what life is like for the rest of the country. We have Canadians buying health care in India for heavens sake. We go accross the border and get an MRI and then bring it back for the doctor to read. But we bring in all kinds of refugees and supply them with everything, while seniors are losing their homes because the taxes are so high. I live in an older home, it is not luxurious, my property taxes are $4000.00 a year. Canada has become so generous to everyone but the people paying taxes that taxes consume 50% of every dollar earned in the entire country. Do you realise that the man at the center of the oil for food scandal was the mentor of the last liberal Prime Minister? In Ontario they bought hundreds of acres of rain forest for Ontario Hydro, no one knew why, and no one knows what happened to it. No one asks. Now we have an occupation by natives of some Property in caledonia. Their advisers are the palestinians. The Brantford reserve is the source of guns for criminals in Toronto. They smuggle them in from Texas. The prime minister Martin was of the opinion that the Americans need to better patrol the border so natives don't smuggle guns into Canada. They have taken no responsibility for anything they have done. Do you know who pays to protect Canada from the world? Not Canadians, and our soldiers do the best they can believe me. But it is the United states that pays to protect Canada. Canada used to pay less for it's armed forces than Denmark. This is just a short list of what has been going on here under the Liberal Government.
