Campaigning in St. John's, Prime Minister Paul Martin was asked about allegations that private aircraft chartered by the CIA have been used to ferry suspected terrorists through Canadian airspace.

Martin said he has "checked with the Deputy Prime Minister , checked with the officials in charge, and there are absolutely no indications that anything of that kind is occurring."

And though she says there's no evidence of such planes touching down in Canada, McLellan, says she is investigating some 55 questionable takeoffs and landings.

"We are now in the process of following up on what we know about any of those, but as you can imagine, 55, it takes time to determine whether there's anything unusual in relation to any of those named flights," she said.

Double speak gone mad.
How is one going to find evidence if one doesn't look?

And Canada must submit the names of all passengers to the US authorities or their representatives if a plane is entering US airspace but a US plane can land in Canada and no one knows the identity of those on board!

1. The best way to not know about something

that is going to bother you is to not look. The reality is that if the allegations are true and if the public knew about it, Martin would be expected to do something and he doesn't want to do anything - so he'd rather not know.

2. You can't say anything negative about King Paul here...

How dare you.


Look at the the top threads in this forum...childish, petty attacks on Harper is what is expected...

Don't you have a funny pic of Stephen to post instead?

3. Do you think Harper would investigate or give bush the green light

to do whatever he wants anytime, anyplace?

4. No, I don't think Harper would do anything either

and Layton might just go overboard and start arresting people without an investigation - such is the state of Canadian Politics.

5. Harper would open the doors wide and say, "Can we supply you

with waterboards?".

6. Lighten up, Francis

There's an awful lot for us to laugh at in this country, from every end of the political spectrum.
