Having recently lived in Toronto, and been an every day subway user, the system is very safe, other than at certain stations and on the final two or three trains of the night.

Gopher has every right to bring the stabbing death up. Other things he could have mentioned that the guy was an immigrant, that he was caught because of surveillance cameras, and a number of other things.

The larger issue I see in these recent posts by gopher, and his view that everything is anti-american, is that he is using a tried and true political strategy of diverting attention from a real issue, and an important one, by creating others. Anyone ever see the simpsons episode about proposition 24?

There is a major problem with guns in the US. The foreign policy is a disaster. The social policies domestically have also been less than successful (see no child left behind), and economic policies of massive deficit and debt speak for themselves. The United States is the world's most important country. As it goes, so too is the world likely to go, or at the very least to feel the repurcussions of what the US does. This makes American affairs a major concern for the entire planet, and therefore gives the entire planet not only the right, but the duty to point out problems. That said, a fair number of posts and commentary on this board do border on, or constitute anti-American rhetoric, but honest, factual and legitimate criticisms do not, and there are also a fair amount of those.

Not that anything that's said on this board will influence or impact american government policy, but I would say that by diverting attention, and deflecting criticism from major issues facing the United States, Gopher may actually be doing a disservice to his country, rather than being the patriot I get the sense he considers himself to be.

All that aside, I would love to see more discussion of international issues, and/or issues in other countries, rather than the mundane threads on Bush et al, all the time.

Women's rights predates the '60's, clueless ones.

As did the civil rights movement.

Neither was the exclusive domain of liberal concern. Indeed, in the early part of the 20th century, 40% of blacks voted Republican.

But I'd concede that progressive ideas were more closely aligned with liberal ideas. However, until the late 1960's, religion was an integral element in the movement. That's a point atheist leftists conveniently overlook.

Way too patriotic, defensive, and hypersensitive to legitimate criticism, Conservative.

I just want to talk about Canada and its problems, that is all.

By the way, thanks for the lesson. One can always learn something new.

Actually the most common form of murder in Canada is a baseball bat, (or so the stats I read in 2000 said). The bottom line is that Canada has had similar incidents like this as recent as last year. The exception is that Cho killed a lot more people. If you want to get a gun in canada, just go to the same place you buy your dope.

I tend to think left on most issues, but I dissagree with gun control as it currently exists in Canada. But I am also disturbed at how easy it is to carry a gun in the US. I have trouble making up my mind on the issue.

I really don't think it's time for American Bashing here.
