Harper is un-Canadian. Shameful that this harms brave people like Chris Teske
MisterSlacker 2 years ago
It was announced this morning that Christopher Teske and others would not be deported if the new coalition was voted in. Unfortunately, Harper, since he closed parliament undemocratically, won't let the people vote for the coalition. They say they will protect from militarism. But knowing that Harper wants to keep in power until the North American Union is solidified, therefore nobody will have anywhere to turn.

we do have a choice... and that should be to do everything we can to ensure that NO VIOLENCE IS EVER ACCEPTABLE. EVER. THAT'S IT. THAT'S THE SOLUTION. Jesus told us this truth over 2000 years ago, and still we refuse to accept the REAL consequences of our choices. May God Bless us all

Soon the day will come when we (humans) will realise how our so-called authorities (Governments directly sponsored and dictated to by global commercialists/elites who were the original warmongers)are processing us like macdonalds happy meals and convince us that we have no other choice but to submit..

Wow. Moving. It's good that there are still some honest soldiers left, with pride for what they are trained to do, and a concience that keeps them from going too far.

I found this video Part I and II, as well as Stephanie Teske's comments very moving. Their sharing was revealing, though not surprising to me, and needed to be said and viewed. My only hope is that this news gets out to the people, as a majority of Canadians will understand and agree with the couple's comments. They are most courageous and their take on the situation in both countries in the East is right on. Bravo!!! cjts
