…he makes says the right thing now. The problem is, Peter MacKay from 2 years ago feels he is also emboldening the terrorists. The USSR didn’t manage to conquer Afghanistan, so why would the Taliban forces that beat them be defeated by a USA led force that (from what I understand) is not even as [...]

… Rabble Election Blog has a valid point! Yes, that their point is valid is what is startling; that it isn’t just more Green Party bashing. In this case, the site takes aim at CBC (darn liberal media) for not properly covering the election in Central Nova. Elizabeth May, and Peter MacKay are squaring off [...]

“Taliban Peter” MacKay Threatens People of Newfoundland and Labrador
Abandoned Stuff by Saskboy (Free subscription) | 06/10/2008
Peter MacKay is a disgrace. He’s a mouthpiece in the Conservative Party that is attempting to advance anti-democratic ideas. How dare he threaten the people of Newfoundland and Labrador with no consideration from a Conservative government if they don’t elect Conservatives! Whichever party is elected into power must listen to the representatives of a region [...]

Talking to the Taliban - 2008
liberal catnip (Free subscription) | 06/10/2008
It seems Peter MacKay now supports talking to the Taliban . The Conservatives have softened their position on talking with the Taliban after a British general said that Western forces will never win against insurgents and negotiations may be necessary. NDP Leader Jack Layton jumped on that Sunday, saying he was "heartened" by British Brig.-Gen. Mark Carleton-Smith's comments to a London newspaper....

'Taliban' Peter MacKay Open To Talks With Afghanistan Rebels
Buckdog (Free subscription) | 06/10/2008
Remember when all of the Conservatives and right wing Liberals ( who should be Conservatives ) were attacking Jack Layton because he said we would probably end up talking to the Taliban - so why go through the deaths of Canadian men and women and move the talks up front! WELL ... the Conservatives went crazy and right wing Liberals were beside themselves. So ... who was correct two full years ago!...

Peter MacKay Caught 'Bending' the Rules

Tory Minister of National Defense Can't Find The Arctic Ocean!
BigCityLib Strikes Back (Free subscription) | 07/09/2008
He [Peter MacKay] got his speaking notes for the Northwest Passage mixed up with his speaking notes for the Arctic Ocean, and I think that's pretty appalling given the importance of this particular issue for the long-term interests of Canada. You can't assert sovereignty over it if you can't find it. Can Canada afford four more years from a government in which the players--other than the PM himself--are...
