""Canadian police waiting to speak to man charged with gay murders

Police in Canada have not yet spoken to a Nova Scotia man being held in a Texas jail in the murders of two Halifax men and another man in New York.""


Gee why let him stand trial and do 50 hard years in a US court for the murder of a father of 2 when you have the opportunity to stage a gay hate crime theatrical trial in the great white waste of time?

From Meeker on media.

CBC Radio Newfoundland organized an abortion debate during a noon hour call-in show. The producers couldn't find anyone to represent the pro-choice side, so there was only one pro-life representative.

The first caller was a well-known Newfoundler pro-choice activist. She went absolutely crazy, asking how dare CBC Newfoundland host this "misogynist".

It was wild. Read the whole thing. The radio host is apparently in a lot of hot water with the CBC. He should be commended.

Will Ferrell and Pearl in The Landlord. He is one sick puppy but I gotta admit I laughed out loud. Warning. It is probably not work appropriate.

Is it simply the 'silly season' in Ottawa or is there something deeper going on?

Notice what's going on in the Senate, which is dominated by Liberals with 62 seats, and Conservatives with only 23. The Senate, unelected and unaccountable, has since Harper's election been moving itself into a dominant role.

It rewrote to the point of irrelevance, Harper's Accountability Act and stalled it for months. It has refused to pass his Motions on Senate reform, limiting terms to 8 years. It has stalled other bills.

The esteemed members of Senate, with the Liberal Colin Kenny at their helm, have confronted Harper's gov't on many issues. One, is their refusal to be accountable. They rejected the Accountability Section for the Senate, which set up an objective reviewer of the Senate; the Senators, they insist, will review themselves.

And that's what they've been doing. Kenny went on a useless trip to Dubai, ostensibly to visit Afghanistan despite the military's pre-trip refusal of their desires. The Senators instead stayed in Dubai for five days, at a taxpayer cost of over $30,000, which included videos etc.
The Senators and Kenny are furious that a 'whistle blower' Kroeker checked up on those hotel costs.

The leader of the Liberal Senate, Celine Hervieux Payette, is furious; she claims that the 'private lives of these Senators was under attack'. Now wait a minute. Those hotel costs weren't private; we taxpayers are expected to fund them. But the Senators refuse to be accountable to us for this trip.

What's going on? WHY IS THE SENATE moving into this primary role in government - obstructing the gov't, arguing with it, confronting it? Why?

AND - ANOTHER LEAK from Baird's Environmental office. So- the civil service, who are primarily Liberal, don't agree with the Conservative's Clean Air Act? Is the civil service predominately Kyoto cultists? And are they sabotaging the Conservative Clean Air/Environmental Agenda by leaking documents?

After all, the infamous Monaghan got that secret document from someone higher up in the civil service; he was a paper-cutter, and had no access to such documents.
Now, another leak.

What's going on in Ottawa? The Liberal Senate and the Liberal Civil Service?

For those that wish to get the Royal back into the RCN and RCAF, the Monarchist League have a petition going.

Bible classified as indecent in Hong Kong

Bibles could be wrapped with a warning label if authorities classify it as 'indecent'

Hundreds of citizens are urging a media watchdog to classify the Bible as "indecent" due to the high amount of sex and violence throughout the Scriptures, and could force the Good Book to be sealed in plastic with a warning label.

The Television and Entertainment Licensing Authority of Hong Kong said it received 1,406 complaints about biblical indecency by this afternoon.

The sudden surge of complaints comes in the wake of the launch of an anonymous website, TruthBible.net, which claims the Bible "made one tremble" due to its graphic content, including rape, incest a

More on the road blocks against our elected government -

We have the Senate, unelected, unaccountable, and with a two-third's majority of Liberals, which has since Harper's election moved itself into an obstructionist role against our elected gov't. We pay them.

With regard to the trip to Dubai, the Senate Review Committee, (it reviews itself); which Senator Colin Kenny sits on, found that Senator Colin Kenny 'did nothing wrong' in spending our money in Dubai. Kenny reviewed himself; that's right. He didn't recuse himself from the committee. We pay them.

But - my point is the Senate has moved itself into a dominant obstructionist role against our elected gov't.

Then, there's another unelected body, the civil service. I'm sure that most are professional, but two leaks in as many weeks from the Environmental Office is extremely disturbing.
I'd bet that most of the civil service are Liberals. After all, like most bureaucracies, it will hire clones of itself, and the Trudeau ideology will be maintained for years. I'd bet that most of them swallow the Kyoto cult ideas. We pay them.

Two leaks - that's not accidental.

And, we have the MSM, that monstrosity called the CBC. We pay for it. Also completely unaccountable and self-organized. It too provides us with a constant barrage of anti-Harper rhetoric.

So- three realms of government which we pay for, working against the actions of our elected government.

Axing program violates constitution: ex-Mulroney aide
Minorities rely on court-challenge funding
ELIZABETH THOMPSON, The Gazette
Published: Friday, May 18, 2007
The government is contravening the Canadian constitution by cancelling Canada's Court Challenges Program, a senior adviser to former Conservative Prime Minister Brian Mulroney testified yesterday.

Michel Gratton said the federal government is not supposed to contribute to the assimilation of an official language minority. But that is what Prime Minister Stephen Harper is doing by axing a program that has proved invaluable in helping linguistic minorities fight for their rights under the constitution, he said.

"For me, there is no doubt that it is illegal, it is unconstitutional," Gratton, a key figure in the successful court challenge by franco-Ontarians to keep Ottawa's Montfort Hospital open, told reporters after testifying before an ad-hoc official languages committee put together by the opposition to hear testimony the Tories tried to silence last week.

Harper is dead and buried, he lost it way back what an idiot.

ET-"So- three realms of government which we pay for, working against the actions of our elected government."
In point of fact, our elected government is minority conservative. Can you say consensus. If anyone is frustrating democracy it is the CONS. as an example,the long gun registry. If they want to terminate it they should introduce legislation not circumvent it through procedure.

Drought of the Century Ending (Australia)

THE El Nino weather system has run its course and the weather bureau says the worst drought in a century could be coming to an end, as heavy rain soaked parched southeastern Australia.

The govt may be in a minority position, but it is still the elected govt.The opposition parties,ideologically aligned, are acting as the defacto govt, unelected, but trying to guide the govt agenda.This will not be allowed to happen.

The senate, once considered a chamber of sober second thought , has shown itself to be a partisan obstructionist body.It is fully beholden to its liberal masters who placed lifelong supporters there. It is,Again, an unelected body trying to drive the agenda of the govt through changes to bills and delaying tactics.


P.O'D..The conservative campaign pledge was made during the 2004 election...you will no doubt remember that they were not elected..that pledge was replaced for the 2006 campaign in which the party ran on certain platforms , one of which was the reduction of the gst from 7% to 6%, eventually going to 5%.

I note that the liberals are toying with the notion of reversing that decision.I would say it is that which you should be railing against...i know the vast majority of Canadians would be..

PHI to Transform Vehicle Fleet to Hybrids and Alternative Fuels
Business Wire
EDTA Media Watch: Going green, transforming fleets

May 17, 2007
--Pepco Holdings, Inc. has said it will transform its 2,000-vehicle fleet to more environmentally friendly technologies by using electric hybrids and alternatively fueled vehicles to reduce its fuel bill and curb greenhouse gas emissions.

PHI now has a mix of more than 80 alternative-fueled trucks, including a 42-foot hybrid electric bucket truck, and several hybrid cars and SUVs. Thirty additional hybrid cars and SUVs will join the fleet this year, with about half already ordered.

pissedoff - the article is illogical. It is essentially saying that language rights, guaranteed in the Charter for government services, require the 'Court Challenges Program'. Why? It is illogical. If the language rights are guaranteed then, there is no legal challenge necessary.

joebaloni - nonsense. Whether a government is a minority or majority is irrelevant. The opposition parties are not, legally, authorized by us as our government. Only the Conservatives have that authority. There is absolutely no requirement for consensus.

Your problem is that you are mistaking mob rule, ie, majority rule, for democracy. That is invalid. A majority is not always right, you know. I'm sure we can all come up with lots of examples on that. We, the electorate, did not elect the Liberals/NDP/Bloc as our government. There is a difference between a government and a majority; one is legal and accountable. The other is pure emotion and unaccountable.

The Conservatives do indeed want to end the useless and wasteful long gun registry; the Opposition Parties want to keep it, not for itself, but as an emotional strategy to garner votes. They will oppose the Conservative motion. So, please tell me, exactly how should the Conservatives do as you suggest, introduce legislation to end it, when that legislation will be rejected by the Liberals/NDP/Bloc?

Please let me know; I'd be fascinated by your strategy of circumventing the combined opposition parties. And also, I'm interested in the factual basis for your claim that it's the Conservatives who are 'frustrating democracy'. Careful of the definition of 'democracy'; it doesn't mean 'majority'.

Utilities, municipalities and some business are AWARE that gas may not be available at your local gas pumps. No shortage, just conflict.

Most liberals operate in a dream world and will be shocked when they lose mobility.

Not the case with you and I. . . eh? = TG

Another point, ET. Has the opposition actually presented alternative government policies. It seems all they have done is criticize and try to rewrite government legislation. Where is their vision. Yes, the job of the opposition (loyal) is to criticize, but primarily it's to assist the government in passing ITS LEGISLATION.

ET, you are right, opposition thinks they can act as defacto government. Using unelected Senate for partisan purposes is not new either. Recall the Free Trade debate, where the unelected Senate held up legislation because they argued, hypocritically, that FTA not part of 84 platform.

Why is opposition doing this? The answer is simple. They have no other options. They wouldn't dare force an election. It's way easier to sling rocks, with your press buddies, than to come up with alternatives and actually dialogue with Canadians - all of which would be required in election campaign.

In 1987, Mulroney called the opposition's bluff over FTA, called election, and secured another majority. That (election) will likely happen now, as frustration continues, my guess in the Fall, just before or after Ont election. I really want to see Dion and Layton (possibly the poorest political tactician in many years in Canada), explaining their actions to Canadians. Maybe they can talk about the detainee coverup, you know where the govt is covering up something thast never happened.

Maybe they can explain why they went after Shane Doan, the RCMP and others. Maybe they can actually articulate their vision, complete with policies, for this country. They would have to do all that in election; instead, they have chosen this cynical usurpation of Parliament.

"in the successful court challenge by franco-Ontarians to keep Ottawa's Montfort Hospital open"

A french "hopeetal" having trouble in Ontario you say?

In Quebec a philanthropist used to be able to donate money to the hospital of his/her choice, just like in all the, less equal provinces.

The traditionally english hospitals were receiving lots of money as usual but the collectivist minded french population was not donating.
The traditionally french hopeetals were unfairly under-receiving gifts of kindness from the french philanthropists.
Kelllll surprise-a-vous !

So the blockheads made up a new law that killed all donations to all hospitals.
The block said we will collect all donations and apply them fairly.

The taps were shut OFF, hospitals declined and the smart money split.

Suckers!!

On an Ontario note Shelly Martel is not running again. The charming spouse of Howard Hampton is retiring. She was a member of Boob Rae's Cabinet and is chiefly rembered for taking a lie detector test to prove she was telling the truth when she said she was lying. A provincial version of Sheila Copps and definetly as charming and intelligent.

The LA times piece ends up with . . .

On Tuesday, the head of Mexico's National Human Rights Commission, Jose Luis Soberanes, said the army was unprepared for policing duties. The commission, an official government agency, has received 52 complaints of abuse related to the army presence in Michoacan, Soberanes said.

*What we should do is strengthen the local police — give them training, equipment — and substitute the army with police so [the soldiers] return to their barracks,* Soberanes said.
============ La Times

This is worrying because it really says the Mexican Army is fully corrupt and part of the drug cartel problem.

It also makes clear that authority is confused about how to slow the problem.

Arizona author Charles Bowden [ a one-time cartel insider], suggests Mexican economy is 50% drug related. Describes massive drug operation employing 10,000 workers with the army complicit.

Bowden sells his books at his website, but he does open up with the Current interview.

here's an article that seems to get it right:

So natives aren't as guilty for murder as non natives.

Now the SCOC is pondering a case where the jury failed to adequately take into account the "drunkeness" of a man who was found guilty and sentenced to life in prison for killing his wife.

http://www.canada.com/topics/news/national/story.html?id=511a126b-6dbd-4d39-8573-29abe0a1d9ff&k=49929

However, I am going to reserve judgement on the SCOC until they rule on this. I'm holding out hope they'll make the right descision.

However, several Supreme Court judges, including Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin and Justice Ian Binnie, appeared cool to Wolch’s contention that the trial judge should have given the jury more detailed instructions about an expert witness’s testimony that Daley was too drunk to know what he was doing.

The Criminal Code permits a drunkenness defence for murder if the killer is too drunk to form intent and may not have foreseen that his actions would cause the victim’s death. The defence is rarely successful.

...re the 200 page "play book" that was leaked to Don Martin - and we all know where it went from there.

Difficult times require measures that any opposition may well complain as unfair, but such is life. When taking on the anti-SC, the ideological left/liberal appointed (for the most part) bureaucracy, an anti-Con senate majoity, and a horribly biased MSM - things don't get any more difficult.

The Official Languages Commissioner, in his annual report, claims that 70% of Canadians are in favor of Official Bilingualism. I seriously question this figure. One has to wonder just who in the population was monitored. According to his very own book "Sorry, I Don't Speak French", it wouldn't seem to be a population from the Ottawa area. It sure was not a population from the West either. Whatever it takes to put the Official Languages Committee into limbo - lets do it. Then we can start on the Immigration/Refugee Board next.

The Cons have nothing to apologize for on this issue and it is truly rich for the Liberals to feign such outrage. The "book" is not the problem. The individual(s) who leaked the book, following in line with other recent leaks, is a huge problem.

Part of the article from Melanie Phillips on liberals and islamists and the dangers of multiculturalism. Presented at Neo conference, Stockholm, Sweden, 11 May 2007. Good find Kakola. Liberals simply refuse to see the danger of their mindset.


The problem is that we seem to suffer from the innate weakness of liberalism while failing to benefit from its strengths. Those strengths lie in its claim to universalism, its governing belief that liberty and equality are the inalienable rights of human beings everywhere. But we don’t uphold this because multiculturalism tells us it’s wrong to impose our standards on those who don’t share them.

At the same time, we have the innate weakness of liberalism in spades. We see everything through the prism of the profound liberal delusion that the world is governed by reason and that all people have goodwill. This means that liberals cannot grasp that some of the things that divide people are insuperable barriers and are not susceptible to reason. They cannot acknowledge the transcendent and irreducible nature of religious fanaticism. They think instead that everything is subject to negotiation and compromise. So their instinct is to reach out to Islamists to reason with them, to draw the poison of this extremism by giving it rewards and inducements that will play to the fanatic’s self-interest and turn him into a pillar of western society. That is why liberals do appeasement; and Britain, the cradle of liberalism, does it better than anyone else.

Liberals also think they are superior in intelligence to everyone else. So they don’t understand that the Islamists are actually playing them for suckers, exploiting the intrinsic weakness of a liberal society they correctly assess as decadent: no longer prepared to fight for its values because it no longer even knows what they are.

The Next Rotation of Canadian Troops is Ready to Undertake their Mission in Afghanistan

5 CMBG.07.16 - May 18, 2007

Wainwright, Alberta — Some 2,500 soldiers, who will be the next group of Canadian troops to deploy to Afghanistan, have just completed a very important phase in their training this week at Base Wainwright, Alberta.

The soldiers, who come primarily from Base Valcartier, Quebec, participated in complex military manoeuvres during Exercise Maple Guardian, an activity focused on individual and collective training for the Joint Task Force scheduled for deployment to Afghanistan this Summer.

The soldiers will be tasked to aid Afghan authorities in restoring the security and stability within Afghanistan, a nation on the verge of recovering from decades of warfare and strife. According to Joint Task Force Commander, Brigadier-General Guy Laroche, “Our soldiers have received an excellent training. The exercise, which we just completed, represents the last step in a long road, whose aim was to provide the soldiers with the technical, cultural and intellectual skills necessary to successfully accomplish, with the least possible risk, this very important mission,” he said. “The exercise provided us with the confirmation that we are ready, and I am convinced that we will brilliantly fulfil this mandate, confided in us by the Canadian public, to help better the lives of the Afghan people,” he added. ...-

Death Pact

"A report released today by the OpenNet Initiative (ONI) concludes that the scale, the scope, and the sophistication of state-based Internet filtering have all increased dramatically in recent years," according to the MIT Technology Review.

According to the report, China, Iran, and Saudi Arabia remain the top blockers. Each nation filters not just pornography, but also a wide range of political, human-rights, religious, and cultural sites deemed subversive by those countries' governments.

Other countries are more selective in what they let citizens see or not see. Syria and Tunisia, for example, filter a great deal of political content, while Burma and Pakistan target websites that pertain to national-security issues.

Just as legal asymmetry between Western and totalitarian countries allows the latter cultures to subvert the former through "civil rights" while prohibiting similar activity within their own borders, they may eventually use the Internet to disseminate their preferred message while blocking dissenting messages. Just as churches are prohibited in Saudi Arabia while mosques are protected in the West, the Jihad may eventually be broadcast from certain countries and their reception in the West guaranteed as a "right" while anyone who mounts a reply will not only be blocked, but charged with "hate speech". Don't think it can happen? Well the censorship part is apparently happening already.
