• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

If you want to be the GG better get a resume to the CBC

First, A lot of things are unfair , this ain´t one of them.

Second, I could not give a squat what other countries think when they look at "us". In fact, 99% of countries out there couldn´t hold a candle to Canada.

Third ,according to the 2000 census, 85 % of Canadians are Caucasian. You do the math.

oh oh!!!

Separatist and Terrorist Sympathizer???

The call comes after an article in a sovereigntist publication that says she and her husband supported Quebec independence and that Ms. Jean's spouse, filmmaker Jean-Daniel Lafond, was friendly with former Quebec terrorists.


They say that we can't get quality people to run in politics because they don't want to put up with the stuff that comes with the job.

If the above turns out to be false or overblown we may have problems simply appointing people.

"Want a senate seat zoziw?"

"er...no"

They'd probably track down that I post here and find my most ill-conceived posts and print them in every newspaper. The CBC would then turn them into a dramatic radio play about the haunted and shallow life of a loser.

Speaking quite figuaratively. Under the Liberals we've freefallen on the UN's list of top countries to live in.

Hey pal, ever been south of the Rio Grand ? The world is a dark and uncivilized place. Libs or no Libs (preferably no libs), Canada´s still the pooh.

We used to walk away awards for best contry to live in, country with the highest quality of life, etc etc -- now we're consistently ranked somewhere between 4th or 6th or so.

Clearly, there are literally hundreds of conutries in other parts of the world that simply aren't in the same ball park, but as far as developed conutries go we seem to excel at mediocrity.
