The Falklanders will speak clearly
The Globe and Mail (*) editorial published Sunday, March - As a country that with some justice prides itself as a global beacon for democracy, the United States should abandon its equivocation over the status of the Falkland Islands and agree to throw its considerable weight behind the winner of the referendum asking Islanders whether they wish to remain a UK overseas territory.

Disclaimer & comment rulesTo the world, this talks democracy,
Mar 05th, 2013 - 01:05 am - Link - Report abuse 0And all these countries that was built on democracy and freedom, will support this free referendum,
Those that don’t do not believe in democracy,
You cannot under any circumstances support countries like Libya Egypt Syria Iraq afghan,
In support of freedom of speech and democracy, then bloody well deny this to the Falkland Islands,
Any country that refuses to recognise this result is nothing short of a hypercrit,
And great Britain, should refuse to support any country that refuses to support democracy, and that includes the Falklands.
Freedom and democracy,
Or
Tyrants and dictatorships.
just my opinion.
First class article . Canada remains a true friend of the UK . Remember when the OAS discussed the Assange case -- which had nothing to do with Latin America - it was, again , Canada who stood by the British position all the way while the USA dithered .
Mar 05th, 2013 - 01:31 am - Link - Report abuse 0Why are the Brits crying so vociferously at the USA?
Mar 05th, 2013 - 01:31 am - Link - Report abuse 0I thought the eternal line was that the matter was between the Falklands, Argentina, and the UK. I guess not then.
Very clear!!!!
Mar 05th, 2013 - 05:38 am - Link - Report abuse 0Last June, the US government opted to abstain when member countries of the Organization of American States, at its General Assembly, held in Bolivia, voted to readopt a “Declaration on the Question of the Malvinas Islands,” which backs Argentina’s call for negotiations between London and Buenos Aires.

Why are you people so desperate to post on this English Language site?
We don't go on your Spanish sites, armed with 'google translate' do we?
Like the 'TROLL' part of your handle, very apt.

Mar 05th, 2013 - 08:03 am - Link - Report abuse 0They are getting desperate now the date for voting is looming, the RG government and political wings are showing signs of panic.
The Gurkhas are waiting for the fishing boats to arrive in FI to pull some kind of stunt, I love the clip when the Gurkha commander has to tell the severely peeved Gurkhas that the RG's have surrendered, gold, they really wanted to meet them. I put my house on it, they will like a ignored middle child try to pull some kind of desperate stunt, whereas its CFK that is the desperate stunt :)
The USA-UK 'special relationship' is purely a case of do as I say not say as I do. I hold no affinity for the US Government and it's foreign policy. As far as I'm concerned they can sit on it and swivel. Nothing but a country founded by the rich for the rich under the cloak of democracy and self determination.
Mar 05th, 2013 - 08:41 am - Link - Report abuse 0There is an argument the USA needs us more than we need them these days. It may be a small one, but it is growing. Probably why they are rushing to try get a free trade agreement with the EU (everyone seems to be doing those these days... might as well just abolish import/export tax!).
The 'special relationship' much like the Falkland Islands is a historical stance that current presidencies dare not change out of fear from upsetting the established order. Their hand will be forced in a weeks time and if they still abstain it still really changes nothing, the UN and international community recognise the referendum; but most importantly the UK recognises the referendum and the Falkland Islanders rights.
People in this world may choose to be uncivilised but as Brits, we shall rise above it.

Wasn't it Winston Churchill who said “you can always rely on the Americans to do the right thing, just as soon as they have exhausted all the other possibilities”.

Interesting last paragraph in the below article... “Self-determination of peoples is a fundamental right”...
Mar 05th, 2013 - 11:17 am - Link - Report abuse 0'Alicia Castro: “the referendum is irrelevant since international law”
The Argentine Ambassador in London said that it is a “perfectly predictable” result vote.
The Argentine Ambassador in London said that the referendum in the Falklands has no effect. When missing five days for the referendum in the Falklands, so its inhabitants speak out about the legal status of the Islands and their relationship with the United Kingdom, the Argentine Ambassador in London, Alicia Castro, said that “it has no effect from the point of view of international law, which is what governs the relationship between two Nations”.
“It is a referendum between British inhabitants of the Islands, only they participate. It is a referendum organized by British, for British, to say that they want to be British. The result is perfectly predictable”, he said.
In dialogue with La Red radio, Castro said that the vote “is not approved or supervised by the United Nations” and that Britain sought “or even” so out “because they know they will never get it”.
“Self-determination of peoples is a fundamental right, but it should not be used to break the territorial State sovereignty, as it is the case,” he added.

@12
Mar 05th, 2013 - 12:07 pm - Link - Report abuse 0So Alice is saying that the islanders would normally have the right to self-determination as it’s a fundamental right, but because in this case there is a sovereignty dispute and a question of territorial integrity it doesn't apply!
Maybe Alice should read the following documentation from the Fourth Committee (Special Political and Decolonization) that states self-determination is more important than territorial integrity.
'By the terms of the amended resolution, the Assembly would further reaffirm that, in the process of decolonization, there was no alternative to the principle of self-determination, which was also a fundamental human right.’
www.un.org/News/Press/docs/2008/gaspd406.doc.htm
A change of strategy from the implanted population argument, for why self-determination doesn’t apply? They really are desperate.
Can anyone remember Canada invading Saint Pierre and Miquelon?
Mar 05th, 2013 - 12:09 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Can anyone remember Canada saying her territorial integrity was compromised by Saint Pierre and Miquelon?
As the successor state to the French colonies in North America, has anyone heard Canada claim Saint Pierre and Miquelon as their possession and the inhabitants as invaders?
Perhaps Argentina could indeed learn a thing or two from Canada. I'm not exactly sure what the Mounties have to do with this. Canucks maybe but not Mounties.

Mar 05th, 2013 - 12:20 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Indeed good people, great country.
Interesting that you look to “chocke to dead the geopolitical ambitions of an European power”, rather than look at the Newfoundland example.
Newfoundland, a self governing dominion that held a referendum on its future...and joined Canada. Such results can be achieved through trust and respect...
...Argentina certainly has much to learn from the “mounties”.
Quite, - Firstly, find somebody, anybody, who trusts them...............
Mar 05th, 2013 - 12:45 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Hard one that.
@2 WE, i.e. the UK, should not be thanking Canada. It is the people of the Falkland Islands that should be thanking Canada. And remembering the “position” of the United States. WE should remember that it is only our “face” that might suffer. For the people of the Falkland Islands, this represents their country, their land, their homes, their occupations. Perhaps even their lives. Who can doubt that any argie “government” of the Islands would see brutal repression, theft, of land as well as possessions and property, crushing taxation, “estates” with argie overlords and overseers and the “expropriation” of the Falklands gas and oil industry? Just what “rights” do argies have that cannot be swept aside in a moment at the behest of the ruling “elite”?
Mar 05th, 2013 - 01:23 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I say “Thank you” to the Canadian people for supporting the Falkland Islanders. To the United States I say, “Are you once again putting money before principles? As you did between 1939/41?”

Mar 05th, 2013 - 01:29 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Of course, it is “ interesting” to learn from Canada's bright example of how to “chocke to dead the geopolitical ambitions of an European power”
The similitudes between the Saint Pierre and Miquelon & the Malvinas Islands Issues are more than evident....:
France had great geopolitical ambitions in the North-West Atlantic....
Lately, they tried to use the ~6,000 French residents of the Saint Pierre and Miquelon Islands as a spearhead to advance on those colonial ambitions.
They failed......... miserabily.
The U. K. has great geopolitical ambitions in the South-Atlantic....
Currently, they are trying to use the ~3,000 British residents of the Malvinas Islands as a spearhead to advance on those ambitions.....
Theywill fail......, miserabily.

Only the most shortsighted would not recognise that.
What distinguishes the 10 BOTS from the remainder of the “independent” territories is that they choose to remain linked. In 1814 Argentina could have chosen to remain linked to Spain.

If your first statement is true, that the “islands are Argenine”, great, you continue with that notion and we can continue to do exactly what weve done for the past 180 years.
If your statement is that the “islands are not Argentine, never have been, but youd like them to be”. Also great, we can agree that is also true..

Status quo is fine by me. Things tend to come and go with time anyway, and LA have many issues that are far more important than those islands. Problem is that one of those problems is what those islands are currently being used for. 2000 Brits will declare themselves Brits next week or so. That's really not a big issue. Should 3 of these Brits vote against logic, it would be considered a major win for Argentina, people would laugh a bit and a linear amount of local lunatics would expose their stupidity to mankind. And like a fart in the open, it would dissolve. The UK will of course use this “massive outcry for autoconfirmation” to prove why they have the right to keep invading and occupying, all while the rest of the world will, again, give up trying to find those fabled islands on the map.
Mar 06th, 2013 - 12:48 pm - Link - Report abuse 03 people voting not to remain British would not be a major victory to Argentina, if 40 out of 2000 voted NO the result is the same, its a kind of vote, a show of hands.

Hey nothing wrong with using translate, I wouldnt attempt to post in spanish on a foreign forum, but i suppose i am not paid as a troll to do so.
Try confirmation, with an “i”. The act of confirming something. Auto-confirmation means to confirm oneself. Seems you should try learning your language in our schools instead. Why on earth would a translate function start spitting words out of your imagination, is beyond me.

What “special relationship” is the author referring to?

Mar 06th, 2013 - 02:35 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Point still valid, it isnt a phrase used outside describing a email function.
'A translate function doesn't spit words out of your imagination' - a very strange statement, its not correct english.
you type your rant in a foreign language , google translate doesn't quite work and sometimes puts in the wrong words or similar words but not in the correct context.
eg - 'I would have to raise the barrier to late primary school' ...... doesn't make sense trust me ...go back to google and spend more time in drafting your posts.

Mar 06th, 2013 - 04:13 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It's “an email function”, not “a”. I may sometimes put in, but never “puts in”.
Finally you are not too familiar with the commas, in your latest post you put them after an empty space or just leave them out altogether. My excuse is that english isn't my first language. What is yours?

Mar 06th, 2013 - 05:41 pm - Link - Report abuse 0don't get cross, you can't write a coherent sentence
so your killer blow is I used an inappropriate comma when you can't even grasp the basics of English I.e the post actually makes sense Jajajajajajaja
Now stop the distraction and let's get back to the topic in question, don't cry about lack of intelligence. now I have had a hard day at work and will now log off, just try not to post tripe.

A linear amount means an equal amount in comparison to the totals. The outcome being a function of the input times a constant. Local lunatics means local lunatics, or, in plain english, local lunatics. Your local lunatic, regardless of where you may be from. Still don't get it? Don't worry, let it process. By sunday afternoon, you might get an aha experience.
a linear amount of local lunatics does not make sense. fact
Mar 06th, 2013 - 06:11 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Agree you are using words, but they need to be in the correct order and context
Would have to raise the barrier to late primary school ....
.again all words but again iam afraid it's total crap, what is late primary school ??? A dead primary school?? An after school club???
Epic fail
It depends on where you are, Santa Fe. Ususally, primary school is to 6th grade. Late primary being 5th-6th grade, early being 1st-2nd. In your case, it's somewhere midways through university.

It was Argentina that invaded the Falkland Islands, not the UK that invaded mainland Argentina.
It is Argentina thjat wishes to be a colonial power. The UK gave that up at least 50-60 years ago.
CLEARLY the GLOBE AND MAIL is the America's best newspaper!
