Another Day, Another Harper Government Secret
This would be hilarious if Harper’s government wasn’t so deadly serious about it.
The Canwest News Service is reporting that the Canadian military is refusing to tell Canadians how many bullets it fired in Afghanistan in 2007 because it considers the information to be a military secret. Uh… OK… Why is it secret? Well, apparently, that’s also secret.
From the Canwest piece (found on the Ottawa Citizen’s site here):
The Canadian Forces has deemed the number of bullets it fired in Afghanistan over the past year a military secret.
But in an explanation worthy of a scene from Joseph Heller’s classic satirical novel Catch-22, defence officials are claiming the reasons for that secrecy are secret.
The Brits and Americans always release this type of information. I wonder what’s so special about Canadian bullets?

I am extremely impressed with your writing skills and also with the layout on your blog. Is this a paid theme or did you customize it yourself? Anyway keep up the nice quality writing, it is rare to see a great blog like this one these days..

Have you ever thought about adding a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is valuable and everything. However think about if you added some great images or video clips to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with pics and video clips, this blog could definitely be one of the greatest in its field. Fantastic blog!

In this grand design of things you get an A with regard to effort. Where you confused everybody was first in all the details. As they say, details make or break the argument.. And that could not be more accurate here. Having said that, allow me tell you what exactly did do the job. The writing is actually very engaging and this is possibly why I am taking the effort to opine. I do not make it a regular habit of doing that. Secondly, although I can see the leaps in reason you make, I am not really certain of how you seem to connect your ideas which help to make the conclusion. For right now I will yield to your position however trust in the foreseeable future you actually connect the facts much better.

My developer is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the costs. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress on a number of websites for about a year and am worried about switching to another platform. I have heard excellent things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress posts into it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I believe one of your advertisements caused my web browser to resize, you may well want to put that on your blacklist.

Today, I went to the beach front with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to tell someone!

I have been browsing online more than 3 hours lately, yet I never found any fascinating article like yours. It is pretty value enough for me. In my opinion, if all website owners and bloggers made good content material as you did, the web might be a lot more helpful than ever before. “Wherever they burn books, they will also, in the end, burn people.” by Heinrich Heine.
