hehe awesome. i had japanese ones stalking me when i lived there...and they would ring and knock for like half an hour while i pretended to not be home, it sucked. once i told them i was sick and to go away...they came back with a fruit basket for me lol

i understand now... thanks.

ok cool. i always thought that you were in charge of the site, not some other people.

thanks, those were the instructions i got before from bradm. but if you are in a private topic you don't have "options" right? i was trying to put one in a private topic. plus, that embed code in the template is pretty ridiculously long. there must be an easier way for us.?

would it be possible bouche, to put a little square on the menu (where the squares are to insert an image, url, bold, etc) to insert a youtube video? i can't get it to work and even though i asked help with the template it still doesn't work. that would make it so much easier

happy birthday!

he was in west africa, not south

oooh. good idea.

wow, this is really cool. very impressive! best of luck kid, best of luck!

sigh... sanctions. i don't feel good about this. i mean the US has had sanctions against them for the past 20 years and it had no effect. canada's help can't amount to this. The Honourable Maxime Bernier, Minister of Foreign Affairs, announced yesterday that Canada is taking the “toughest sanctions in the world†against Burma . "The strongest message has to be sent. Sanctions are the means by which we, not just Canada, but the international community, can best exert pressures against the military junta," the Minister told in a private meeting with Burmese Buddhist monks and dissident leaders yesterday morning in Toronto. CFOB has constantly lobbied the government to impose stronger measures against Burmese military regime. Canada only imposed selective economic measures in the past including putting Burma into ‘Area Control List’, withdrawing Burma ’s ‘General Preferential Tariff’ (GPT) eligibility, cancelling multilateral assistance through international financial and suspecting bilateral aid. “Now the dream comes true,†said Tin Maung Htoo, executive director of Canadian Friends of Burma. “We welcome these strongest measures and thank Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Foreign Minister Maxime Bernier, and Secretary of States for Multiculturalism Jason Kenney for their leadership role.†“The whole Burmese democratic movement are now very encouraged by this action and will appreciate Canada ’s role in their struggle for democracy in Burma ,†added Tin Maung Htoo. On Oct. 17, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper tabled a motion in the House, calling for conferring Canadian Honorary Citizenship to Burmese Democracy leader Daw Aung San Suu Kyi. The motion was unanimously passed. “We also thank all institutional and individual supporters including Members of Parliament for providing moral and material support for our work,†said Tin Maung Htoo. “Now, we’ve accomplished something for Burma , but still have to work for the achievement of democracy in Burma †The sanctions include: · Ban all goods exported from Canada to Burma , excepting only the export of humanitarian goods · Ban all goods imported from Burma into Canada · Freeze assets in Canada of any designated Burmese nationals connected with the Burmese Government · Prohibit the provision of Canadian financial services to and from Burma · Prohibit the export of any technical data to Burma · Ban new investment in Burma by Canadian persons and companies · Prohibit Canadian-registered ships or aircraft from docking or landing in Burma · Prohibit Burmese-registered ships or aircraft from docking or landing in Canada and passing through Canada .

Dear friends of Burma : Please see the special program broadcast yesterday on Global News Channel. It is now available online http://www.listenuptv.com/programs/071111burma.shtml and detail program information below: Remembering Burma – Listen Up TV Today - a special Remembrance Day edition of Listen Up TV. More than 2-million Canadians are being remembered for their service in times of war and peace. Today we’ll bring you greetings from soldiers in Afghanistan . But we’ll also travel back through the decades and visit with veterans of what’s been called “ Canada ’s Forgotten War;†Burma , where Canadians still lie in unmarked jungle graves. While Canada ’s mission in Afghanistan has been mired in controversy, most Canadians concede the desperate humanitarian need there cannot be ignored. We’ll have more on that story in an upcoming Listen Up, with our producer Dave Pascoe back from assignment in Afghanistan Caring for the human cost when there is no democracy has always been what’s driven our soldiers to sacrifice. Case in point, today’s veterans call to remember the Forgotten War - the 1940 to 1945 campaign for Burma ’s independence. Veterans of that war are still leveraging their concern for the people there. Burma ’s military junta recently brutalized protestors who demonstrated against a 500 % increase in the cost of essential goods. Led by peaceful Buddhist monks, the Burmese were protesting forced labor, political prisoners, the regime’s violence, and a lack of food and widespread poverty. It all brought back memories for Burmese refugees to Canada . Today, Burmese refugees in Ottawa pay tribute to Canada ’s care for freedom in their homeland. GUESTS: Lt. Col. Edmund Blais Veteran of Burma Campaign Dr. Robert Farquharson Author, Pilot, Veteran of Burma Campaign www.trafford.com In 1941, at the age of 18, Robert Farquharson went to Britain with the Canadian army, then transferred to the RCAF and spent the last year of the war as a pilot with an RCAF transport squadron in Burma . After the war he took his PhD at the University of California , Berkeley and for the next 28 years was a professor of German Literature at Victoria College . After retiring in 1988, he devoted himself to writing For Your Tomorrow: Canadians and the Burma Campaign, 1941-1945. Tin Maung Htoo Director, Canadian Friends of Burma www.cfob.org Rev.
