Peace in our time
June 17, 2006
A Department of Peace?
Give it a rest.
Such a thing is a bit 1970's.
It does sound like something the Liberals would do, eh? Spending on a department that wouldn't accomplish anything tangible for the country except sending tax dollars into another bureaucracy.
Peace only works if there is co-operation from both entities in the conflict at hand.
Billy Cunningham? I thought it was Bill Cunningham, but whatever the proper name, I am surprised he's still interested in playing full-time politics. It's pretty clear that his vote in 2006 was down from what it was in 2004, and one might think he would be ready for a different vocation.
