Now here is an article in today’s paper that I agree with, well part of it.  I think Harper did the right thing in saying what he did.  First off there is no way we can win this war for Afghanistan.  If they want a good country to live in they are going to have to get off their buts and do it their selves.  We and other countries have helped them to much as it is, and the more we do the less they will do. That is fact.  Anyone can see that if they take a minute to look.  Some say why it took so long for Harper to see things. That’s a real dumb question, as he wasn’t the one that put the troops there to begin with.  Takes time to make things right, so no way can folks get to blaming him.  So take a look at the article for what it is worth.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s candid statement that the Taliban cannot be defeated — and that responsibility for the war must instead be given to Afghans — was endorsed on Monday by John Manley, who chaired an authoritative 2008 investigation into Canada’s mission in Afghanistan.

But others are asking why the Canadian government has taken so long to admit that NATO’s military efforts are not working.  As I said what a dumb question I sure would like to see who is doing the asking.  My Opinion Only.

RRSP deadline midnight tonight, and a lot of people aren’t investing in them anymore.

Hmm, seems I have been tellin’ folks that they aren’t the best thing one can invest in for years. Also seems that folks might be starting to think my way too.  My advice is to invest in yourself, pay off debts like your mortgage and credit cards. .  If you do have some extra cash keep a bit on hand for emergencies and invest in land. Forget the RRSP.  The only one that gets rich with them is the financial institutions not you.  My Opinion Only

Now here is an article I like.  For once Canada has stood up for itself.  Oh and they were right in doing what they did too.  Figure this if it would have been the other way round and in their air space they would have shot us down no questions asked.  Take A Look.

Four Canadian and U.S. fighter jets were scrambled to meet two Russian bomber planes found flying on the edge of Canada’s Arctic airspace

Toronto’s home sales drop 69%

Well I only got one thing to say on this topic.  In my eyes the prices for homes in Toronto are double the price as what they are really worth. Oh maybe one more tiny little thing.  All homes through out Canada will have to be dropped in price, as what we are paying now for a home is just crazy.    My Opinion Only

You know for the last few years now folks have been steadily running down old George Bush.  Thing is he is a pretty good guy.  I would  have to say he has helped this country we call Canada more than any other president going.  Also put us on a path, that is safe to walk down.  I know there is a lot that would have you think different but I would have to say their thinking is a bit clouded.  They also have complained about all the troops in the Iraq. Well if Bush could have been in power any longer, he would have had them taken out in the near future just as the new President is doing, well thinking of doing.  Time will tell on that subject.

Any ways for those that have complained for so long about old Bush.  You now have a President that says he will pull a few troops out of Iraq and once done he will put a few thousand more into Afghanistan.  My way of looking at it, nothing is getting done, just taking it from one hand and putting it in another.  My Opinion Only. Here is the article for what it’s worth:  Take a look.

President Barack Obama on Friday fulfilled the defining promise of his campaign, announcing that all U.S. combat troops will be withdrawn by Aug. 31, 2010.

I sure like that word Defining.  LOL
