ST CATHARINES RIDING CANDIDATE’S DEBATE BLOG NOTES/RECAP

admin @ September 24, 2008 # One Comment

Live Blogging From debates is only truly useful to an extent, but it’s hard to ideally pass along links and fact checks in real time. The following is a recap of the live blogging I was going on behalf of some online based U.S. blogs curious about the St. Catharines’ race - particularly due to the proximity of St. Catharines to the the U.S. border, including the close race b/w Lastewka (Liberal inclumbent at the time) and Conservative challenger Rick Dykstra. After that very close race, many people will be watching this rematch.

Rick Dykstra unseated Lastewka’s 12 year incumbency by 244 votes on Jan 23, 2006

Op Ed Guest Presidential Candidate, David Jon Sponheim, “On the Destiny of US Involvement in Iraq”

admin @ September 22, 2008 # No Comment Yet

Unlike the plan to build a tri-state government in Iraq, I don’t want to force the Iraqi government to adopt any government devised by the U.S.. That can only lead to more hostility and sectarian violence. Separating people that once lived side by side in harmony makes no sense. We all have seen what the break up of Yugoslavia led to. That pattern is not the pathway to peace. It is only a new path to War.

I would offer the Iraqis a simple solution to their deeply troubled Nation. I propose that we assist the Iraqi’s in building Weapons Free Safe Zones where they can prosper in Renewable Energy Villages far away from any threat of Terror.
