Feds collapse on Mowhawk extrotion....offer $125 million for a problem they declared had "no legal basis" to go away.

PM Harper take this call... There's a mister "Duceppe" on the line who says he heard the government is paying out on fraudulent extortion schemes and wonders if Quebec can now get a bigger extortion payment to stay in Canada.

A Canadian political scientist excoriated for attending what was widely labelled a Holocaust-denial conference in Tehran has retaliated with a blistering published attack on his university president and his colleagues for being illiterate Islamophobes.

Writing in the influential Literary Review of Canada, Shiraz Dossa, a tenured professor at Nova Scotia’s St. Francis Xavier University, said that his academic integrity and academic freedom were grossly impugned by the university administration, an assault on his reputation that he said has yet to be remedied.

He accused the president and chancellor of authorizing a “small Spanish Inquisition” to denounce him - a campaign he said was initiated by two Jewish professors and the Christian chair of the political science department.

Prof. Dossa also wrote that the attack on his reputation was launched by The Globe and Mail’s editorial board and by columnists John Ibbitson and Rex Murphy, whom he described as being “intellectually just a cut above the Trailer Park Boys” and ignorant of the Middle East.

James Turk, executive director of the Canadian Association of University Teachers, likened the treatment of Prof. Dossa to the 1950s McCarthy period in the United States when academics and others were subjected to intense pressure not to attend events that were unpopular.

Meanwhile, another Islamic 'scholar' says:

Gomaa himself is the author of a controversial book which claimed that Prophet Mohammed’s (PBUH) companions used to drink his urine, considering it a blessed act, as reported by Al-Masry Al-Youm newspaper.

Gomaa stuck to his position despite criticism, claiming that everything which emanated from the Prophet is pure and sacred.

So, I think we can take 'scholar' Dossa's words and with slight modification make it applicable to Muslims: "Intellectually, just a cut above a trailer in a park."

The shocking thing is that apparently the $125m was turned down.

Not really. If your intent is to milk this thing in perpetuity, a final settlement is the last thing you want.

Apparently the way to deal with terrorists is to buy them off.
Wonder how that would work with the tALIBAN?

This is so wrong! Negotiating with terrorists. The natives that are on DCE land have no right to be there. Now, they are getting rewarded for their "bad behavior". I hope someone can talk some sense in to Harper before its to late! This is such a dangerous road we are heading down.....

As a self-confessed Macintosh fan and as someone who’s spent my entire professional career working in the advertising and communication industry I think I’m qualified to comment on the newly released videos now appearing on the Liberal.ca website.

You can read it here:

I read that it was the Ont govt offering the money. Also, when did the Mohawks become a cdn tribe.

Out of curiosity, who is paying for that funeral in TO today, and why does it get national tv coverage on the cbc. Was Janes funeral on national tv. How about the funeral for the young boy stabbed in Vancouver.

"For a guy that is hated so much there sure are alot of people that would watch the Stanley Cup with him. Harper 60% Dion 12%"

Bryan once we realize that Harper is only "widely hated" in the liberal media, then realities come back into perspective.

One of the themes of Kate's bog and the realities of Life in Canada is that we rarely recognize our feelings, thoight, perspectives represented in the largely liberal largely GTA media.

The realities MSM create are not the realities we live.

The Toronto Star runs daily "speak out" sessions on various topics. Typically they take responses for a day, and then publish them in a highly edited form that often alters the message.

They have poked a pinkie finger into Islamic related matters in recent weeks. This link will take you to some recent polls.

http://www.thestar.com/comment/article/142065

Notice that the one on "Canada's multiculturalism policy" is still looking for responses, even though it's nearly a week old. Several polls above it, which came later, are complete.

Yet the multiculturalism one does not show any of the results. Dollars to donuts, that's because th e responses were so overwhelmingly anti-multiculturalism, that the Star does not want to publish them.

Interestingly, the previously poll, which related to women's rights and multiculturalism, had a number of strong anti-Islamic responses, and was cut very short.

Once again, MSM hides from us that the true thinking of much of the country is. Arrogance beyond belief.

Kennedy is suing the Nat Post for supposed lies re the backroom dealings at the leadership convention. An ex Green honcho is suing the G&M.for a 3rd party remark on a blog. How come no one is suing Jason C for his derogatory description of PMSH, which he has repeated on more than one occassion. Seems he is very upset that another set of truth ads re his leader is out and he doesn't like them.
And, are the young liberal ads supposed to do anything except make us realize how sick the young liberals are. They are also asking for donations so they can raise money for them to be shown on nat tv. Why, so more people can laugh at them.

Global elites are at it again this year deciding our destinies for us...the Bilderberg Confab takes place again this year....moving from its Canadian meeting in Ottawa last year the elites will hold their 2007 secret world changing meetings in Istanbul Turkey.

Jim Tucker, a reporter who has stalked the elusive elites from meeting to meeting since the 60s is reporting from this year's new world order shindig in Turkey.

One interesting arrival was the Texas governor who is curently driving the sale of Texas hiways to foreign companies and turning NAFTA hiway land over to them...as well he is as the forefront of the effort to "naturalize" Mexican illegal invaders.

Canadian Press

OTTAWA -- Liberal Leader Stephane Dion has been heckled off the stage at a labour protest rally in Ottawa.

Dion was taunted by several thousand unionized workers as he spoke on Parliament Hill, and was eventually drowned out by chanting.

There were loud boos from the crowd as he left the gathering, with many people complaining about the Liberal party's stand against anti-scab legislation.

Jake Lombardo of Hamilton, Ont., accused Dion of double-speak as he taunted the Liberal leader.

Lombardo blamed the Liberals for launching policies that he says are costing Canadians jobs.

The demonstration was organized to protest the loss of thousands of manufacturing jobs, particularly in Ontario and Quebec.

Labour groups blame Ottawa for the job losses by allowing interest rates to rise and for negotiating trade deals that they say are killing high-paying jobs and sending work overseas.

If you're interested, the latest Globe and Mail report on the Conrad Black trial has gotten 17 comments as of 3:45 PM; it ranks #3 in the "Americas" section. Most of those comments are anti-Black.

I'm finding it quite comical that some Quebec seperatists are pissed about some half million dollars in illegal money being given to the "NO" side during he campaign leading up to the 1995 referendum. Here you have a bunch of crooks who tried to rig the vote by miscounting, throwing out valid "NO" votes, stuffing ballot boxes. You would have thought that they were a despotic banana republic (maybe they are). Now they cry fowl! I really got alot of sympathy for them.

the real crime was that the feds spent any money at all to keep the whiners in confederation.

Saskatchewan NDP Cabinet Shuffle

"saw the country off at wawa , call them Lower Canada and us Upper Canada"

The way things are going, its more likely that Alberta and probably BC will be long gone before Upper and Lower Canada restore their old titles.

If Dion manages by some stroke of insanity on the part of the voters, to take power in the next election, I can't see Alberta or BC hanging around much longer. He will try to Kyoto the oil industry, Alberta won't take that lying down. If Alberta goes, BC won't be far behind.

Re the cabinet shuffle....

I believe if you minus out the rats that have jumped ship, everyone left in the NDP caucus is now a cabinet minister.

As Brad Wall once said...."the NDP job creation strategy, one cabinet minister at a time."

Stephane Dion after the referendum of 2010 when Alberta separates.

Death for Bush?????

"Critics will no doubt say I am accusing the Bush administration of being Hitler. I'm not. There is no comparison between the political system in Germany in 1937 and the U.S. in 2007. What I am reporting is a simple empirical fact: the interrogation methods approved and defended by this president are not new. Many have been used in the past. The very phrase used by the president to describe torture-that-isn't-somehow-torture - "enhanced interrogation techniques" - is a term originally coined by the Nazis. The techniques are indistinguishable. The methods were clearly understood in 1948 as war-crimes. The punishment for them was death."

re: military funeral for Cpl Dinning. When I was in military, I was the officer who went through the funeral bills. As usual, press has it wrong.

Family spent $3000 on arena rental and about $4000 on bereavement counselling. These costs are not covered by the pertinent orders. Basic funeral costs (4675 maximim, was $3500 for years, is too low) plus all costs associated with transportation, memorial and perpetual care are covered.

Families were ripped off time and time again by unscrupulous funeral homes who seemed primarily in the casket selling business. Assisting Officer ensures family fully advised, after they are briefed be admin officer. I had list of funeral homes set up, those who would only bill within our limits.

I would get the funeral home to send me an itemized bill for all services, which I would go through and extract every penny I could pay. Anything above that, such as costs of arena rental and bereavement (provincial responsibility?), require higher authority, likely at least Vice Chief of Defence Staff.

It is a shame family felt they had to go to press, but their letter weren't answered. Anyway, the family, on Adler today said bills, including subsequent costs, will now all be paid. It is unfortunate his staff dropped the ball on this one.

I believe though, that Cpl Dinning's father is in error with his statement that $250,000 is paid out to spouses in same circumstances. Did some basic checking and Cpl Dinning's parents would be entitled to two years pay. If Cpl Dinning elected group life insurance (SISIP), then again moneys available to family. I know of no differentiation between married and single, except the spouses of member may elect dependent life coverage with SISIP. I've been out for a while but did some research. After reading Gloria Galloway's article, I'm sure she did no research on this issue whatever.

Understand Dion made it an issue in HofC today, of course demanding resignation of O'Connor. Harper shot back he will back up O'Connor, given he is an honourable man who wore uniform for his country, before Dion anytime, who never wore a uniform. Ignatieff shot back that Harper wasn't in military either. Hmm, wasn't aware he was Defense Minister. Pretty lame comeback anyway.

I just thought people would like some facts on this issue, rather than the unresearched crap we've seen so far.

Shamrock, thanks for more information than the MSM could ever muster. While is is a shame that there was some missed communications or something, I think the only reason the opposition cares is because it is another thing to whine about. In my 22 years I never heard of anyone renting an arena. Any post church/chapel services I've attended have usually been in legion halls although I'm not sure how that was arranged. It is a shame that the family had to go to the media but my condolances go out to them just the same.

Organ Transplants in China: Just Like Picking Lobsters in Restaurant By Lee Yuhan Sound of Hope Radio Network May 31, 2007

The Human Rights and Medicine Forum drew an interested crowd to the University of Chicago on May 24.

Canadian Independent Investigator David Matas, coauthor of "Report into Allegations of Organ Harvesting of Falun Gong Practitioners in China," Dr. Kirk C. Allison, Director of the Program in Human Rights and Health, University of Minnesota, and Falun Gong Spokesperson Zhang Erping attended the Forum. Two of the University of Chicago Student clubs, Falun Gong and Amnesty International, sponsored the Forum. The investigation of the illegal organ harvesting in China was discussed in earnest.

Dr. Allison believes evidence has shown the organ harvesting and transplant procedures in China involve cooperation from many Government departments. These departments include all levels of government, the police, the courts, the Ministry of Health, the military, the penal system and many others.

For instance, one Taiwanese patient visited China twice for a kidney transplant. There were four donors at each visit. The exact match was found with the eighth kidney. This gruesomely tells us eight people were on the execution list to find one exact match for the kidney transplant patient.

Dr. Allison also indicated that these transplants did not come directly from scheduled executed convicts. According to the spouse of the Taiwanese patient there's a large bank of prisoners as donors. The spouse said the doctor was holding a 26-page-long list of donors already pre-typed for blood group and HLA matching. The doctor then marked several donors on the list and put them in order. Further examination was performed on these selected prisoners. The transplant will be canceled if the test turned out to be positive. Otherwise, the operation will take place immediately. Allison mentioned that this is like picking your own lobster at the restaurant.

Dr. Allison said, "'That one', you see, that's what's happening, 'I want that one'." ...-

Saskatchewan cabinet shuffle...

Re-arranging the deck chairs?

The Honourable Maynard Sonntag

Dear Sir:

I'm researching various aspects of the Meadow Lake Pulp Mill and I have many questions about the situation. As you are the MLA for the area, as well as both the Minister and the Chair for Saskatchewan's Crown Investments Corporation, I believe you are probably the most well-informed person on the MLPLP.

My research, which has only skimmed the surface so far, has uncovered some puzzling aspects. Would you be kind enough to answer some of the following questions:

* As the mill was supposedly sold in January 2007, why has the bankruptcy once again been extended, this time to July? Shouldn't the sale have ended the bankruptcy?
* Has the sale actually taken place?
* How much was the value of the inventory that was included in the sale?
* Why was the mill sold for $37.5 million when there was at least one other interested party who told government ministers he was prepared to pay fair market value, estimated to be between $125 and $150 million?
* Were you involved in the meeting with the interested party?
* Were you aware that members of your own constituency, contractors who worked for the MLPLP, are still owed a substantial amount of money?
* Apparently some of the unsecured creditors have been paid. Why are only selected companies being paid? How have those decisions been made?
* Who has received the over $20 million in fees, commissions, and 'Other' during the first 11 months of the bankruptcy?
* Are those fees still being paid? To whom?
* Before the sale, was the government made aware of the disastrous environmental record of Asia Pulp and Paper?
* Before the sale, was the government made aware that APP and their parent company, Sinar Mas, had defaulted on loans of over $13 BILLION dollars, monies raised for them by prominent financial institutions in the US?
* With the information about APP and Sinar Mas being publicly available for years, how and why did Victoria Park Capital and/or government members make the decision to sell to APP?

I still have much work to do in this investigation, including reading all material related to the bankruptcy. I also need to do more research on APP as information about their very questionable ethical and environmental issues continue to surface.

Some background on me will assure that this is a serious inquiry.

I'm a professional researcher with 17 years experience in similar investigations. I literally set up the Canadian Taxpayers Federation office in Edmonton, Alberta in 1990. I also did research, wrote articles, and did media interviews for newspapers, radio, and TV for CTF. I was the Principal Researcher on the Alberta MLA Pension Plan which resulted in cancellation of the Plan by Ralph Klein in 1993. For confirmation, see Jason Kenney's website at http://www2.parl.gc.ca/Parlinfo/Files/Parliamentarian.aspx?Item=106c623c-3606-40ae-a2f6-f4a619cf02f6&Language=E&Section=Publications.

Since then, I've investigated numerous areas in business in Alberta and in the Government of Alberta. I was privileged to work with Scobey Hartley in these areas. To quote Mike Byfield on Scobey, "The Calgary oilman was the most politically influential business figure of the Ralph Klein era, to the point that his death on June 6 drew national media coverage." Mike's article is at http://www.dobmagazine.nickles.com/columns/column.asp?article=%5Cmagazine%5Ccolumns%5C060821%5Cmag%5Fcol2006%5Fgl0000%2Ehtml

I must tell you that my recent move to Saskatoon has been wonderful and I intend to make it my permanent home. I'm impressed with the beauty of the city, the friendliness of the people, and also with the potential that Saskatchewan has.

Thank you, sir, for your time and for whatever assistance you can give me on this matter. You can reach me at 306-979-4744.
