Intimidated by Militants

The word militant sounds ominous. It is, after all, related to the word military. Le Devoir reports how militants in the Liberal Party of Canada ran over Cabinet Ministers on missile defense, among whom our Minister of Defense, Bill Graham. Graham has even admitted to losing "the war."

But militants in the Liberal Party of Canada are not what the militants in Mao's Communist Party were during the Cultural Revolution. And, considering that the Liberals have never really been a grassroots party, it is of concern to see that a bunch of loud youth is all it takes to scare the defense minister of this country.
