Burma--- dead range from 22,000-400,000 and many more to die ....and the "leaders " were worried about "elections"???

"The auditor general's report this past week noted 63,000 illegal immigrants were under orders to leave Canada, but that the Canada Border Services Agency has no idea about the whereabouts of 41,000. That should set off alarm bells if we can't even deport a convicted terrorist here for 21 years".
Some politicos think money grows on trees.Others would probably like everyone to only ride bikes in the city.If you don't pay attention to how your money is spent, others will gladly spend it for you.
