Canada told not to use term ‘visible minorities’
UN watchdog calls words ‘racist,’ but offers no alternative
UNITED NATIONS – Canada’s use of the term “visible minorities” to identify people it considers susceptible to racial discrimination came under fire at the United Nations yesterday –for being racist…
…Other highlights of the report include a call for Canada to provide welfare to illegal immigrants and failed refugee applicants; an expression of concern about “racial profiling” and a recommendation that Canada pass laws to prevent Canadian transnational companies from trampling on the rights of indigenous peoples overseas…

You guys should know about this. Jennifer Ditchburn had an article on the tory criminal justice platform the other day which was on CTV news’ main webpage, and was still on their politics page as of last night. It seems to me like it’s a smear piece, which she seems to be fond of when it comes to the tories. She wrote a lot of SOW and CCP articles that didn’t look kindly on the CPC. Anyways, the main point is, she quotes a Liberal Attorney and and U of T criminologist, who defecates all over the Tories. Turns out, this supposedly objective Criminologist, Anthony Doob, donated five hundred bucks to his local NDP candidate’s campaign in the last election. Hardly an objective source. I found this info out in less than five minutes; why didn’t ditchburn check? Maybe she wasn’t interested in it? For what reason? Contact the CP and voice your displeasure at this bias. Millions of Canadians have read her article and don’t know that they’re hearing about the Tory criminal Justice platform from Liberal and NDP mouthpieces.

Is it me or has the Media made a flip flop on Dion?
Todays G&M has Former Liberal Enviroment Min. Stewart now coming out & stating that Dion was against Kyoto at the Cabinet table.
Dion seems to be getting alot of bad press of late, while we see The PM getting favourable.
For Example
The PM’s interview on TSN at the Briar was exellent, Hamilton Spectator had a pretty good article on him being there.
OK, taxpayers…let’s help those poor oil companies:

“Coren and Guests to Challenge Jacobovici and Cameron’s Jesus Tomb Claim
Is Jesus in heaven or was his body left behind on earth? Michael Coren and guest Dr. Craig Evans, Professor of New Testament Studies at Acadia Divinity College and author of the new book “Fabricating Jesus” will challenge this controversial topic on CTS Television’s “The Michael Coren Show” tonight.
Brought on by the contentious claims of Simcha Jacobovici, award-winning documentary maker along with producer James Cameron of “Titanic” fame, this topic made headlines last week with the announcement Jacobovici had found the tomb of Jesus Christ. The tomb contained ossuaries or boxed remains that the couple of filmmakers claim contain the bones of Jesus, Mary Magdalene, their son Judah and other family members. The pair’s documentary entitled “The Jesus Family Tomb” aired on The Discovery Channel last Sunday March 4th.
“By bringing the producer together with an accredited antiquities expert, we aim to cast some light on whether this is potentially historical fact or a well conceived hoax,” says Coren producer Dave Wilson.
Listen to controversy in motion as Coren and Evans discuss this new development in archaeology, tonight (Thursday March 8th) at 8:00pm – only on CTS.”
That’s 8:00 pm. eastern.
For years the leftists and sp interest groups have been attacking Christmas. Now they are after Easter. Support the rop and their beheadings, lashing of women raped, carbques etc, but do all you can to debunk Christianity. Maybe the day will come when we will decide to protest, instead of sitting back and just living our lives.
I’m an anglo and I totally agree that it is time that the term “visible minority” be dispensed with – the sooner the better. It strikes me, and has for a long time, as a very negative label. I’m very keen to hear pov’s from people who would presently be considered to be in this group. In another sense, this label has been given much to much precedence in the name of equal opportunity employment/promotions – particularly for all things governmental – at the expense of competence. In so doing it is increasing the extreme political correctness mode we find ourselves in rather than trying to mitigate it.
I can only try to imagine how people feel who came to Canada decades ago and gave up their homeland citizenship to become Canadian (before the liberals totally screwed this up to create the “cool” concept of hyphenated Canadian).
I can only try to imagine how the children of these people who are born/raised in Canada must feel inwardly when they hear this term being used/see it in print/and have to deal with it as regards employment applications as well as in all manner of government documents.

I find this very interesting since the “Jesus Tomb” hypothesis put forward in the film not only contradicts Christianity, but it contradicts the major Muslim teachings as well. As I understand it, there are 2 major Muslim theories:
1) Substitution – Jesus wasn’t crucified, rather someone took his place and died on the cross while God took Jesus bodily up to heaven (similar to Elijah). According to this there would be no bones to find.
2) Swoon theory – Jesus didn’t actually die on the cross, he fainted & the Romans just thought he was dead. He was later revived in the tomb and, according to the major adherents of the theory, lived out the rest of his days in Kashmir. According to this burial in Jerusalem would not fit at all.
Interesting letter to the editor found in the Ottawa Sun:

pullEEZE mssrs bono et al, what, what, what NEW IDEAS are out there to STOP the haemorhaging of money? hmmmm ???
Trouble with the term ‘visible minorities’is that you don’t know what it means. Not long ago on a bus in TO I was the only person who was a shade of pink . . . everyone else was tan to black. Same thing when visiting a shopping mall in Richmond B.C. I don’t think the term is particularly discriminatory — I just think it is too relative to be meaningful.

It seems like I’m getting screened out? The info I leave in reader tips don’t seem to be getting posted…am I getting caught in the filter or is throwing up links to my blog-postings for the readers just a no-no? I’ve tried in two separate dumps over the past day or so and I don’t seem to be getting through. Any ideas why, anyone?
As you were ladies and gents…
Let me try this just one more time… We asked: Who is Anthony Doob?
If any of you read jennifer Ditchburn’s article the other day regarding the Tory criminal justice platform, you’ll know already that it was a fairly biased hit piece. What you might not know is that Ditchburn chose a U of T criminologist named Anthony Doob for her interviews/quotes, who thoroughly defacted on the Tory criminal justice platform. She also chose to quote from a Liberal Attorney. What you might be very interested in finding out is that Anthony Doob is no objective source on law and order – I searched and Found out that Anthony Doob donated five-hundred dollars to his NDP candidate in the last federal election. That’s a lot of moolah. Did Ditchburn choose Doob as her source, knowing full well that he has partisan affiliations? Did she even bother to check? It took me five minutes to find out. What’s her excuse?
When your articles are being read by millions of Canadians who assume that your sources are objective, it would be prudent to ensure they are correct in their assumptions.
I made a video calling on people in Quebec to vote against Jean Charest’s Liberals for having recruited late-term abortionists.
I wonder if Quebec’s Director-General of Elections will come after it, as it’s come after other YouTubers. I live in Ottawa. That would be an interesting case.
It’s in French. Maybe I’ll get around to making one in English. I also mention that taxpayer money is going toward this.

Posted by MR. R. Bolllocks on the previous reader’s tips thread:
“the funniest clip I *ever* did see on the MSM was a story about the long term effects of bussing in the south.
“90% of those affected were minorities”
?
what friggin mathematics are THEY using to say NINETY PERCENT OF A-N-Y-T-H-I-N-G is the ‘minority’?????”
Mr. Bollocks,
You have now demonstrated that due to your lack of logic and reading comprehension nothing you post past, present or future is worthy of consideration or response. You missed the point that in the quote that you complain about that 90% of the bus users were FROM minorities NOT that the 90% WERE the minority!!!
How many are in favour of asking robertbollocks to find another site on which he could engage his adolescent need for contentious interaction in a medium where he does not have to think on his feet.
No need to censor him, simply do not respond to his posts and he will surely disappear as his need for attention will not be met.
robertbollocks — I think you are being unnecessarily hard on Margaret Trudeau. Of the various Trudeaus, I find her to be one of the more palatable. Also, I think that those suffering from mental health problems appreciate having “stars” to identify with . . . just like everyone else. Good for Margaret. It think she’s had to deal with a lot of crap.

Trouble with the term ‘visible minorities’is that you don’t know what it means. Not long ago on a bus in TO I was the only person who was a shade of pink . . . everyone else was tan to black. Same thing when visiting a shopping mall in Richmond B.C. I don’t think the term is particularly discriminatory — I just think it is too relative to be meaningful.
Kate, I just noticed that you accept donations via Paypal, who is rabidly anti-gun. I encourage you to break your ties with them and discontinue its use, consistent with your conservative views.

Mrs. Turdeau is being recognized for her courage in stepping forward last
May to publicly share her personal struggle with mental illness.”
so why does this ageing-poorly flower child rate???
how about I mosey over to the local psychiatric hospital and announce ‘medals all round folks!’ would that wash? I doubt it.
heres a better idea, lets make her recipient of 3,000,000 of the things, about 20 tonnes worth and leave her buried under the pile and praise da lawd never hear another wimper out of her.
and that goes for the entire turdeau clan.
The Afghan guard who stops suicide bomber
A gatekeeper’s resolve has earned him the nickname ‘Rambo’ at a US base in Kabul.
Excerpt:
“… on Jan. 16, Rambo’s gatekeeping made him a bona fide hero.”
this takes incalculable guts.
he knows well ahead of time suicide bombers lurk and still takes the job.
he spots one and knows it could blow at any moment and still charges in.
its NOT THE SAME THING as getting popped at out of the blue by an unseen sniper, not the same thing when youre looking right at the device that could kill you in 1/100th of a second.
jeezuz that takes guts.
ladies and gentlemen I think Ive found the candidate for the revived VC medal.
and thank you for your always interesting posts maz.
dionnnnnn sues duceppe…..
hmmmm. I didnt know co-conspirators could sue each other when they get caught instead of doing TIME like all us common folk.
It seems like I’m getting screened out? The info I leave in reader tips don’t seem to be getting posted…am I getting caught in the filter or is throwing up links to my blog-postings for the readers just a no-no? I’ve tried in two separate dumps over the past day or so and I don’t seem to be getting through. Any ideas why, anyone?
As you were ladies and gents…
Let me try this just one more time…
We asked: Who is Anthony Doob?
If any of you read jennifer Ditchburn’s article the other day regarding the Tory criminal justice platform, you’ll know already that it was a fairly biased hit piece. What you might not know is that Ditchburn chose a U of T criminologist named Anthony Doob for her interviews/quotes, who thoroughly defacted on the Tory criminal justice platform. She also chose to quote from a Liberal Attorney. What you might be very interested in finding out is that Anthony Doob is no objective source on law and order – I searched and Found out that Anthony Doob donated five-hundred dollars to his NDP candidate in the last federal election. That’s a lot of moolah. Did Ditchburn choose Doob as her source, knowing full well that he has partisan affiliations? Did she even bother to check? It took me five minutes to find out. What’s her excuse?
When your articles are being read by millions of Canadians who assume that your sources are objective, it would be prudent to ensure they are correct in their assumptions.
I made a video calling on people in Quebec to vote against Jean Charest’s Liberals for having recruited late-term abortionists.
I wonder if Quebec’s Director-General of Elections will come after it, as it’s come after other YouTubers. I live in Ottawa. That would be an interesting case.
It’s in French. Maybe I’ll get around to making one in English. I also mention that taxpayer money is going toward this.

REGINA (CP) — Court document suggest that officials in Saskatchewan’s Environment Department ordered the erasure of the computer hard drive of a bureaucrat who was under investigation by the RCMP.
Someone in the NDP government guilty of Obstruction of Justice?

Posted by MR. R. Bolllocks on the previous reader’s tips thread:
“the funniest clip I *ever* did see on the MSM was a story about the long term effects of bussing in the south.
“90% of those affected were minorities”
?
what friggin mathematics are THEY using to say NINETY PERCENT OF A-N-Y-T-H-I-N-G is the ‘minority’?????”
Mr. Bollocks,
You have now demonstrated that due to your lack of logic and reading comprehension nothing you post past, present or future is worthy of consideration or response. You missed the point that in the quote that you complain about that 90% of the bus users were FROM minorities NOT that the 90% WERE the minority!!!
How many are in favour of asking robertbollocks to find another site on which he could engage his adolescent need for contentious interaction in a medium where he does not have to think on his feet.
No need to censor him, simply do not respond to his posts and he will surely disappear as his need for attention will not be met.
robertbollocks — I think you are being unnecessarily hard on Margaret Trudeau. Of the various Trudeaus, I find her to be one of the more palatable. Also, I think that those suffering from mental health problems appreciate having “stars” to identify with . . . just like everyone else. Good for Margaret. It think she’s had to deal with a lot of crap.
