The Conservative government will table reverse onus legislation forcing repeat violent offenders (convicted of a third sexual or violent offence) to prove why they should not be jailed indefinitely. Currently, the Crown must prove that an offender should be deemed dangerous.

CTV is giving major coverage re: Harper's remarks on the Libs being anti-Israel. Jane Taber is delighted that all this is 'helping Ignatieff'...say what?...on and on ad nauseum. Did our Prime Minister's UN speech, or his stand at the conference in Belgium get this much air?

The CTV Mike Duffy fill-ins were an interesting study.
Dave Rutherford and the Graham ( can't recall his exact) guy came off as half reasonable in their questioning. Sadly Tom Clark has an in grown bias he cannot hide.
And lastly silly Gidget is so bloody biased that she deserves to be put in a corner with a dunce hat, not let loose in front of a TV camera to discuss serious political issues.
Geez it would be a pleasure to have a Laura Ingraham or a Bill O'Reilly type broadcaster in Canada.
Will it ever happen?

Watching Giggles on Mike Duffy is a real treat. Yesterday she was refering to Harper's stand at the Fracophonie conference and she didn't have any idea what it was all about.

Huh? Here's somebody who makes their living as a talking head on the Canadian political scene and she doesn't have the foggiest idea of what the Prime Minister did when he stood up to the whole group of Israel bashers and shamed them into including Israeli suffering into the motion. Unbelievable.

Joe: Will it ever happen?
No, Reason why I say this, If there ever was it would be the Canadian version of Your Fired.

I know we all tend to disagree on polls, however go to the CTV.Ca Canada Am poll. Did the PM cross the line, NO.
He has called it like it is.

Janey-poo is looking very 'Belinda' with that haircut. Libs have no worry about self destructing when the media focuses on damage control for them.It is extremely difficult to watch MSM...but we have to tune in once in awhile just to see what the 'mainstream' are being fed.What bothers the Libs and media most is Harper's firm grasp of foreign affairs.
BTW...did anyone hear about the announcement re: crime legislation reverse onus on the perps?

I saw that vf.
The CTV talking haircut last night was positing that by Harper slamming the fiberals on the preposterous Israel smear that Iggy was given a free pass for, Steve was in fact aiding the libs.
Dream, untill your dreams come true!

This morning when the biased MSM tries their gotcha journalism tactics on the Priminister, Steve should calmly read half a dozen of the crazed UN resolutions supported by the liberano$$ that were nothing short of cooked up absurd smears of Israel.
They'll walk right into it!

North Korea threatens New York, Washington
WorldNetDaily.com ^ | Posted: October 12, 2006

Posted on 10/13/2006 6:32:43 AM PDT by jasoncann

As reports circulated of a second imminent nuclear test, a high-ranking North Korean official who is called the unofficial spokesman for Kim Jong-il issued a not-so-veiled threat to the United States today in an interview with South Korean radio.

"Everything will be settled in a week," said Kim Myong-chol on KBS Radio. "That is, whether we, Korean people, will remain as we are now, or lose, or New York will lose, or Washington, D.C., will lose, it will all be settled once and for all."

The report was carried in Chosun Ilbo, a Korean-language newspaper in the south.

The South Korean government is trying to verify intelligence that North Korea is to conduct another nuclear test soon – possibly in the next two or three days.

Quoting a reliable source on North Korea, the report said: "Many indications from North Korea point to the high likelihood that North Korea would conduct another nuclear test in two or three days. We received intelligence Oct. 11 that says the North Korean military is showing unusual movements."

Alexander Downer, Australian foreign minister, said yesterday, "We have intelligence that North Korea would have another nuclear test soon. We are very concerned about it." ...-

CBC, this am about 7.00, in reporting on the US resolution for sanctions, the babe said, sanctions against north america, instead of north Korea. I agree our PM shoud read all the resolutions against Isreal voted for by canada, and all those they voted against. Notice Pres Bush is fighting back by using facts, as he call it, stmts made by his opponents, and how they voted on certain bills. Can't wait to watch the faces of all the msm in the US on Nov 7, if the republicans win and keep the congress and senate, with gains. The same can be said when Harper gets a majority next election. Better have lots of EMS people around to handle the heart attacks and strokes.

Any Albertan's catch Colby Cosh's column in the National Post on Weds.? - Dinning's little orange button. Apparently it's an attempt by Dinning to be responsive to the Chinese community. Very interesting. It was available without subscription. I'll give a link if anyone wants.

On the same day Dave Rutherford discussed candidates. One caller brought up MLA support of Dinning and how it seems to actually be putting him behind in the newest poll (as it should i.m.o.). Most callers preferred Morton next Oberg, both of whom are tied in the poll at 17 perc. each, Dinning at 16.

I was astounded to hear one caller (m.a.w.g.) who advocated for Dinning because there's nothing wrong with the way the P.C.'s have been running things, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Status quo, auto pilot.

TDH, Liberal lobbyist-grant writer, seems to have a problem with see-sickness. TDH can't see the shore; he's at sea.

Ohhhh... ? TDH says he is a dog lover, too. Dion, dual France-Canada citizen-citoyen, named his first-time pet dog: Kyoto; in French, c'est, Kyoto...arff...-

October 13, 2006 - Friday The 13th bullets for the morning:

• There is an official appeal that has jointly been forwarded to the Liberal party by several leadership campaigns questioning the validity of the British Columbia Bob Rae delegates that were signed up by Mason Loh. Watch for a MAJOR shift to occur as a result, and stay tuned to TDH Strategies for the decision rendered by the party.

• I have been told that before the scrutineers from all the camps begin their tedious days of monitoring the counts of thousands of ballots at the party office (the BC rural ridings only have results coming in now), this website has in the past popped up on someone's laptop, and is even at times read to the amassed group. So, to Roy Bornman, brother of star witness for the crown Erik Bornman and Ken Dryden campaign worker, I want to say hello.

• I guess that at this point, creative fundraising streams by all campaigns are going to be necessary to try and help out delegates from across the country (and particularly from British Columbia) reduce their costs associated with travelling to the convention in Montreal in December. Yet, when I look at this idea, I understand how truly brilliant the Michael Ignatieff online auction was. I mean, I'm a dog lover - so am I now supposed to be propelled to offer up some money to the Stéphane Dion campaign because there is a photo of him and his dog Kyoto circulating? I don't quite get it.

• Does anyone else find it interesting that the day Stephen Harper took a thinly veiled shot at Rick Mercer, Bob Rae showed his bony ass to the country ...-

Scott: 9.25, That is like Craig Oliver saying he did not watch PM Harpers speech to the UN, with a smirk on his face. Someone should tell these idiots that if they want to comment on something with intelligence they should at least watch it.
Does Don Newmans pronounciation of BROADCAST at the start of his program bug anyone but me. He is so pompous, but it reminds me of scratching on a blackboard.

Coyote, sda is one of the best blogs in North America, .. for a reason. I think of it as a MEDIA AUDITOR. Kate, is to Mainstream Media as Sheila Fraser is to Canadian gov'ts and politicians. A service like this is critical to maintaining Democracy. Let's not dillute it !!

What is Algore saying about the storm in Ont. Is that global warming in reverse.

Anyone catch iggys attempt to apologise for his stmts re Isreal and war crimes. Anyone out there an expert on UN resolutions slamming Isreal and supported by Canada during the past 13 yrs. CBC did mention the resignation of Cotliers wife but I had the volumn down so didn't get Drydens response. He supposedly is taking the campaign in a different direction and plans to bash Harper instead of fight for the top prize.
Does Dion really hold dual citizenship, like our GG did/does. Are iggy and dion married, or Scotts still in the closet.

In regard to the Conservative dangerous offender legislation, it would be interesting to know if the 3 strikes rule applies in a case of a triple murder. I think it should only apply in cases where the convict has already been to jail, is released, and is convicted again. The presence of a third chance is surely enough to show that an offender is continually dangerous.

Iggy has said the PM's comments were disgracefull!
And what Iggy has said isn't!

"Bob Rae wants to impose a Congestion Tax".
Yes Bob Ontario remember's you more & more, keep it up.

RE: "Bob Rae wants to impose a Congestion Tax".

Now really. That should read 'Constipation Tax'.
And it will only apply to Lieberals.

Right, 'cause he couldn't really be all that dangerous if he only killed 3 people on one occasion ... could he?

Sarcasm aside, I would hope that the legislation would apply to someone found guilty of multiple violent crimes even if it is their first time through the justice system - think Paul Bernardo.

re: Congestion Tax
Rae compares to the tax imposed to enter London,England (not to be compared to london,on.)
I think that should go over well in Downtown Arcola,Sk. or Tara,On.
Oh, but wait a minute there's more, He goes on to say that you can claim it back in your income tax.
There will be dancing in the streets now in Arcola & Tara.

The more the libs try to defend their love of Isreal, the more cdns are going to investigate it and find they are lying. Seems there will be a fight over the 1M insurance policy on the ballplayers life. To get more stupid, now the family of an english reporter, killed in 2003, by supposedly US troops, wants them brought to justice. Reporters must know that covering a war is dangerous, and they should stay out of the crossfire. Chances are the troops responsible are themselves dead. War is hell, and taking sides is dangerous, aka the libs. As for Cotlers wife, she stayed with the party during all the theft, lies, scams, backfighting, dishonesty, sending troops to Afganistan, but now finds the party has lost its credibility. Better late than never.

Iam trying to remember who just recently said in an interview that "Canadians don't mind being taxed"
anyone see that, I think it was Belinda? on CBC George stompowhatsisname

MaryT, 1:04. That is exactually what AL Gore says. The "Preacher" says everything is Man's fault. Preacher types use the "you are sinners, listen to me. Repent, or you will go to hell, or you will cause the end-of-the-world !!" Heard that before ?? Pathetic.

Seems the tide has turned. Virtually all commenters on the G&M winter storm story today are mocking the man-made-glowbal-warming-alramists. During the last year or two, Canadians have seen-the-light. Despite a full broadside of spin from the Media. Sorry, so-called Journalists, you had your day in the sun. Er, head in the clouds.

"Sarcasm aside, I would hope that the legislation would apply to someone found guilty of multiple violent crimes even if it is their first time through the justice system - think Paul Bernardo."

Denis, you have a point argued that way. However, that is several murders - seperate incidents. One night of drunken rage might be something a bit different.

Also there's the perspective of system muck up, like in Martensville, or Milgaard. That's why the in and out and in and out of jail makes more sense to create the auto-dangerous offender status. After all, the crown can still apply dangerous offnder in rarer cases of serial killers who are caught after their string of offenses, right?

Saskboy, the legislation doesn't guarantee the person will be declared a dangerous offender, only that they must prove why they shouldn't be. It is by no means a 'three strikes' law as we understand them based on similarly nicknamed US laws.

So if an otherwise exemplary citizen were to be found guilty of committing several violent offences whilst in a drunken rage, for example, then they may be able to successfully make a case that they would not pose a significant risk to society after their designated jail time.

As far as wrongful convictions, the sentence for such multiple offences would be at a minimum measured in decades (I assume\hope) so the effect on such a man's life even without dangerous offender status could still be brutal. Also, even though dangerous offenders are given an indeterminate sentence they can still get out on parole (the latest numbers show 18 dangerous offenders are out on parole).

Saskboy, sorry I had one other thought regarding: "After all, the crown can still apply dangerous offender in rarer cases of serial killers who are caught after their string of offences, right?"

Doesn't it seem somewhat counter-intuitive that after the crown was able to prove that Bernardo did what he was accused of they then had to go and prove that he was a danger to society? I think this new legislation puts things right. The fact that one is found guilty of multiple acts of violence by default makes them a person who is dangerous to society - unless they can prove otherwise.

Of course if the triple murderer got life (25years cdn) for each and served each sentence one after the other instead of a three-for-one deal then the three strikes would be moot, n'est pas?

This is from Robert Spencer's Politcally Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades):

Grand Ayotollah Sayyid Ali Husayni Sistani, the Iraqi Shiite leader who is well-regarded in the west, has included the following in his voluminous writings:

The following 10 things are essentially najis [unclean]:

1. Urine 2. Faeces 3. Semem 4. Dead body 5. Blood 6. Dog 7. Pig 8. Kafir [unbeliever] 9. Alcoholic liquors 10. The sweat of an animal who persistently eats najasat [i.e., unclean things].

He adds: "The entire body of a Kafir, including his hair and nails, and all liquid substaces of his body, are najis".

Should we dub this: "Kafirphobia".

"The fact that one is found guilty of multiple acts of violence by default makes them a person who is dangerous to society - unless they can prove otherwise."
You may have a point there. I'm looking at it from the perspective of seeing a system that I know messes up, and want it to be difficult for the Crown to railroad an innocent person. Having the Dangerous Offender status only applying after obviously seperate crimes, even a string of serial murders where the criminal wasn't caught until after all of the accused killings, would give an innocent person the ability to get out of jail and never be framed again. In the case of a serial murder, say Bernardo didn't do it - he'd be labelled a dangerous offender on top of being wrongly convicted.

I didn't know there were dangerous offenders out and about. That's disturbing, and indicative of some serious problems in the system somewhere.

There is hope for canada yet. A muslim 19yr old has been found guilty of manslaughter for driving his van into a crowd last new years eve, killing a young woman and injuring others. While the jury was still out, he was picked up on drug and alcohol charges, violating his bail and arrested.
Wonder if this wonderful example of rop will demand a prayer mat. Or has he been thrown out for breaking the rules, drinking and drugs. That should be 2 strikes against him.

One can*t help but notice that Liberano$ are more prone to scream and flail their arms, monkey like.

Rather than fix any problem the first impulse is kneejerk emotional demand for government help!

Conservatives, OTH, tend to find solutions. For instance . . .
