As for charging them well you could... but they have already been charged, and sentanced - all through the Canadian military criminal system, the civilian criminal system, and finally through the then proto-ICC (well all those competent enough to stand trial). As for declaring them persona non-grata... no need, because of the charges leveled against the people in question they are forbiden from leaving Canada and are on probation for the rest of their lives.
Blah blah blah. We should just charge you persona non-grata and then start going through your population, especially the military and charging them with war crimes.

Of course this is all ridiculous but I'm sure an extremist like you does follow the "do as I say and not as I do" philosophy.

I'm an extremist now? When did this happen?

As for the rest I'm actually a big fan of the "Lead by example and precept" concept...

Okay, while Pike1483 shouldn't have said what he said...how does slandering Arkansas make it right? The whole STATE isn't uneducated. In fact there are some very good education programs here. Yeah, we do lack in the elementary and secondary education department, but there are still some very good schools in the state, and colleges as well.

A question for our Canadian friends

My local newspaper says

1 - the age of consent (for sex) in Canada is 14. True?

2 - all kinds of abortions (incl. partial-birth) are legal. True?

Just curious.

1 - Yes. Between the ages of 14 and 18 though, there are limitations, and having sex with a minor is still risky business.

2 - Yes. There is no abortion law in Canada. Abortion is a surgical procedure and is usually treated as such by the medical profession.

Actually, health care is a provincial responsibility, and I'm not certain if abortion is covered. Anyone else know?

As far as I know, it is goes with that equal full coverage thing as well as births (which can cost up to 10K US if you have a baby in the US).

I do believe there are medical limitations for late-term - depends on the province again ...
