Interesting item on trying to control what is on the net as if that were possible but I guess people will try.

I always viewed the Torys as being the next best thing to a Republican and certainly not anti US. Anyway a view from outside is always interesting if not refreshing.

Bob,
Tory is a moveable term. In those days, they were the Loyalists. The ones who hanged Patrick Henry and would've done the same to the rest of our "Founding Fathers".
They went up to O when they lost - and were all the more bitter because of it.
If you travel along the Loyalist Trail (i.e. the northern shore of Lake Ontario) even to this day - you will "taste and smell" the bitterness of a defeated people. I never believed it myself until I did so. It's weird - kind of like going into a historical "time warp".
As to the other commentaries - as per my first post in this thread - I don't like current US politics either. I'm a liberal Democrat.
But I know a red herring when I see one. There is an election going on right now in CA and the usually shoe-in Liberals are worried because of various scandals that keep popping up. Hence,their party leader, Paul Martin has been beating an anti-US drum as a rallying point (and as a means of distracting the voters from the sleaze problem). And, lockstep the leftish T.O. media, which dominates political discourse in the Anglophone part of CA, is doing all it can to ensure Martin's Liberals remain in power.
Not necessarily a bad thing, perhaps, but it goes to show, world over, pols are pols and will stoop to whatever to stay in power.
Gosh is this way OT or what - anyway - I posted my first poor effort at a Cafe shot on Joe's thread. Hope I can get a better one before month end!
Back to your RF gear everyone - we have a shooting assignment!
