POPSAfghanistan Coalition About To Burst Below, is what I actually wanted to clip, but I couldn't find an English version. This is from a leading national news source in Denmark:. "The coalition is about to burst in Afghanistan, and the mission nearing an end, assesses an Afghanistan-researcher. That is the assessment from Gen. Henry Jedig Jorgensen, Acting Head of Research Unit Danish Institute for Military Studies after the heads of military command and officers today in the Jyllands-Posten have expressed great skepticism about the Afghanistan mission. He stresses that the countries behind the Afghanistan mission are about to ."

POPSClimate 'Debt' Transfers Billions To Developing Countries
But as much as anything else, the Copenhagen treaty calls for the payment by rich countries of what can probably best be described as climate reparations. It would be "impossible to craft and draft" a detailed plan to effectively combat climate change in time for December. "That is not possible. But it is also not necessary," Mr. De Boer said. "I think what Copenhagen has to achieve is a basic political understanding." "By 2020," the treaty insists "the scale of financial flows to support adaptation in developing countries must be at least US$67-billion in the range of US$70-to US$140-billion" every year. If Ottawa signs on to Copenhagen, the size of our resource-based export economy means Canada may pay more dearly for the UN's latest climate-change arrangement than almost any other country on the planet. And in the end, because it may only shift carbon-intensive production from cleaner countries to less-efficient ones, the entire exercise may do very little . . .

POPSPresident Obama and The Three Amigos Mexican Summit
The agenda called for the three men to discuss four main topics: 1. NAFTA and what the second A really stands for. 2. The Swine Flu Epidemic aka H1N1 which started down in the vicinity of the Mexican volcano El Popocatepetl (The Petey). 3. The unbelievably high price of tequila. 4.

The Canadian Mallard Ducks for Mexican Burros Trade Agreement. 2. The Republic of Mexico's request to be allowed to purchase all of the Taco Bells in the United States. 3.

POPSCanadian Prime Minister Endorses One World Governance
Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper spoke to media at the conclusion of the G8 meetings in L'Aquila, Italy. He said, "It is critical that (banker bailouts) intervention reaches it's conclusion...." That conclusion according to him is "some substance of global governance." These masters of the universe will use any crisis possible to advance their global one world government agendas. He continued to use the term "unregulated capitalism" that caused the financial problems throughout the world as the reason for massive government bailouts of banks. What he fails to point out is that banks ignored existing regulations and loaned money to those that could not afford to borrow. Right now the only person that has been prosecuted for fraud is the man that confessed Bernie Madoff. Where are the other prosecutions? Bad business practices by bankers is not the citizens fault. That is the fault of greedy bankers and Wall Street manics that don't want to eat their bad business decisions.

POPSCanada Fills Obama's Leadership Void Today, Obama is paying only lip service to that trade goal while two finished free-trade treaties with friendly American allies Panama and Colombia sit in his desk drawer, unvoted-on in Congress. He speaks of the U.S. being "distracted by other priorities" but in reality he's only "distracted" by listening to Big Labor, which has tried to shut Colombia and Panama out of free trade. Canada, by contrast, is taking the lead. Prime Minister Stephen Harper said his top priority at the Summit is to champion free trade, in line with the will of the region's real democracies. "Our focus for the Summit of the Americas will be about free trade and avoiding other countries moving back to protectionist measures," Harper's spokesman said. "Canada's position is that we must not allow the impact of the (financial) crisis to reverse our hard-fought progress towards freer trade and investment."

POPSBad day for Canadian democracy. Sour puss rules again!! The governor general's decision may or may not have been cowardly, but it was certainly a poor one – one that disrespects parliamentary democracy, disregards the will of a majority of MPs, and puts government on hold at this time of economic and financial crisis. Either Jean should have dissolved Parliament and called an election, or she should have given the coalition the opportunity to govern. Instead, in granting Harper's request, she has given the Conservatives exactly what they want, including a decisive advantage in the campaign to come. Basically, she has saved Harper's sorry bacon, evidently putting his interests before the interests of the country. It is a sad, sad day for Canada.

POPSCanada PM delays imminent defeat This man once professed admiration for our little Johnny Howard. The inspiration doesn't appear to be lasting. Howard modelled himself on the biggest bludger of a PM that we ever had, Pig-Iron Bob Menzies. Sold scrap metal to Japan in the lead up to WW2. No "f" in brains, is there.

POPSCanadian PM Apoloizes for Native School's abusive practices. A very good article, worth the whole read. "The government now recognizes that the consequences of the Indian residential schools policy were profoundly negative and that this policy has had a lasting and damaging impact on aboriginal culture, heritage and language," Harper said. "While some former students have spoken positively about their experiences at residential schools, these stories are far overshadowed by tragic accounts of the emotional, physical and sexual abuse and neglect of helpless children, and their separation from powerless families and communities."
