He wasn't there in his capacity as Minister of Public Safety at all. No, he wasn't selling Canadian sovereignty down the river that leads to the US, just Canadian products. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the link to this, anonymous.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09811694143714068436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17909993.post-1159479498989814322006-09-28T14:38:00.000-07:002006-09-28T14:38:00.000-07:00Stockwell Day has denied there was a secret meetin...Stockwell Day has denied there was a secret meeting in Banff September 12-14, 2006.<BR/><BR/>http://www.pentictonherald.ca/article_2081.php<BR/><BR/>Now comes the coverup.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17909993.post-1158984331400121052006-09-22T21:05:00.000-07:002006-09-22T21:05:00.000-07:00I called every newspaper, emailed my MLA and MP, c...I called every newspaper, emailed my MLA and MP, called the GG (was surprised to be answered by a real live person and invited to leave a voice mail on the GG's personal line. I declined (come on, a nobody like me to talk to the GG?), and preferred to let her secretary take the information which she assured me would be investigated and all info given to the GG), I called Ujjal Dosanjh and also was treated with respect and info taken down; the best reception I got for all efforts was with the Canadian Taxpayer's Adam Taylor who seemed quite interested in the matter and who said his organization would put in an Access to Information Request regarding the travel expenses claimed by O'Connor, Day, and Hillier. He took down the web addy's of the reportage and said he would get back to me. Reluctantly, I did give my name and location. I do hope this was not in vain.<BR/>The people I have personally told are scared, concerned, some unbelieving. <BR/>As one of those freedom-loving West Coasters I am expecting the Georgia Straight to come out with something. Alas, the day I called them their paper was already on the stands. Perhaps next Thursday they will have something on this issue which affects each and every Canadian, regardless of political affiliation.<BR/>How does it feel to be manipulated by big business, behind the scenes politicos? It feels way bad. Off the scale bad.<BR/>Canada deserves better.<BR/>Canada is a country, with rights, and with people willing to stand up for it. Some people might be playing this war game only to ensure Canadians are not "engaged" or involved with what is taking place in our Gnu Government.<BR/>I was appalled when I spoke to some of the people who should be in the know, and they knew less than I did.<BR/>I await on tenterhooks the outcome of all this spilling of beans.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17909993.post-1158895321969109832006-09-21T20:22:00.000-07:002006-09-21T20:22:00.000-07:00Well, I must admit, I thought maybe it was a lost ...Well, I must admit, I thought maybe it was a lost cause until.....<BR/><BR/>World NetWacko Daily picked up the <A HREF="http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=52063" REL="nofollow">story</A>.RossKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07677239332112652522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17909993.post-1158891251896318652006-09-21T19:14:00.000-07:002006-09-21T19:14:00.000-07:00Good luck with the "forcing the media" thing.The T...Good luck with the "forcing the media" thing.<BR/><BR/>The TO Star, which one would think would be all over this story, had the op-ed piece by Maudie but that was all.<BR/><BR/>Nothing whatever in the Globe or any of the CanWest papers. <BR/><BR/>I sent this email to Ed Greenspon at the G&M, link to the Banff paper at the top. <BR/><BR/>"They claim to have the list of attendees and the agenda.
