1 dead as car plows into Mexican bike race

The 28-year-old driver was apparently drunk and fell asleep when he crashed in the race, said police investigator Jose Alfredo Rodriguez. A photo taken by an official of the city showed cyclists and equipment launched high into the air by the collision.

Rodriguez said Juan Campos was charged with murder Alejandro Alvarez, 37, of Monterrey. Authorities said the wreck happened 15 minutes in the 34 kilometers (21 miles) race Sunday along a road between Baghdad and Playa Matamoros, across from Brownsville, Texas.
Campos said he is a U.S. citizen living in Brownsville. The USA Consulate could not immediately confirm that.

Seeing these tactics, when an election hasn't even been called, just make me loath Harper and the Conservative Party.

Actually this is in response to the attack ads that the Liberals are already running.

Sorry to say that this ad makes a good point. Where was Ignatieff for most of his life? Certainly not Canada

Originally posted by Abercrombie You precicely get my point. There have been other protests a few months ago by other potentially aggressive groups with some also waving recognized terrorist flags, that are probably kicking themselves right now not having thought of it first, and now may likely employ such tactics in the future. Other groups are watching these events unfold with a keen eye in planning their next one to test their boundaries. It's only going to escalate.

Why do i get the feeling that the taliban and hamas could stage a similar protest and actually get sympathy from elements of canadian society and politicians?

Are we really that much of a self loathing country?

Originally posted by Jayx1 I think there are a lot of legitimate people protesting who are getting swept into the politics of their so called leaders in a quest to gain political and monetary advantage.

I think you are describing almost every event in every political situation pretty much, worldwide... come on, you are not normally the Captain Obvious type.

hmm at this rate, the war there might be over sooner than we think..

Tamil Tigers nearly completely encircled

But we are talking about a terrorist organization acting within our own country and causing a disturbance. People need to be reminded that this type of thing can and does happen here too. Sympathizers need to know what they are sympathizing with.

I guessed you missed that, we're talking about terrorist organizations here. Hezbollah flags were waived a few months ago.

I love how everyone ignores the fact that the Sri Lankan government has banned any international aids workers from entering the country. The same goes for any international journalists (who could verify EXACTLY what's going on there); meanwhile local journalists who don't write favourable articles about the Sri Lankan government end up assassinated. Go figure

I guess you missed that all those children out on the highway the other day are not actually terrorists themselves, as much as some of us would like to lump everyone and everything into neat little labels for sensationalism

yay for this black and white world where everything fits in neatly to labels for convenience' sake and nobody has to think about individual situations anymore, right.

Originally posted by Jayx1 I think a great way to stage a national protest is to just shutter every business. National strike = national holiday. But about Canadian issues. Non violent, makes a point, and a day (or a week) off. You can bet that when the government stops making tax revenue that they will act.

People are too self interested to do this.
One day of work = guaranteed revenue/pay
One day of no work = guaranteed lost revenue/pay, with potentially nothing to show for it.
