Andrew Keys posts a non-linking URL for the Hill Times. How many conservatives here would pay $156. a year to support a liberal newspaper?

I'm always amazed at the amout of people who support, (either by faithfully watching, or by subscribing to MSM) while bitching and moaning about the liberal bias.

Indian Special Forces Contingent Deployed To Serve In Afghanistan

India has sent a 75 men strong contingent of special Indo-Tibetan Border Police commandos to serve in Afghanistan where terrorist activities from Pakistan is seeing a market rise for the past 18 months.

Earlier 'Press Trust Of India' had reported that at least 134 highly trained commandos would be dispatched in two batches. The first batch of 75, according to source, is said to have already left for Afghanistan. The second batch of around 50 commandos is expected to be sent in the first week of July 2007. ...-

i see toronto's mayor has got through the first stage of his new tax measures. property and vehicle owners are going to get the shaft and it will get passed with hardly a peep. the people of toronto and ontario are getting what they deserve... perhaps they should tell their politians to quit pissing the money away. mr miller makes my skin crawl every time he talks.
he must have gone to the danny williams school of "poor me"

"The stories of kids out in Alberta or Ontario or the States who'd like to come back - they were some of the most poignant submissions we got," he said.

Some have tried and failed to find work in their field in their home province. He said he sees why that is still hard, but he senses the province is on the cusp of a much-needed change in that regard."

"[New Brunswick Premier]Graham's self-sufficiency agenda refers to his goal of weaning the province off equalization payments by 2026. His task force on self-sufficiency has called for boosting the population by an unprecedented 100,000 people in those 20 years."

Powerful ally
Partners PM assigns Maritimer with keen knowledge of region's economy to self-sufficiency

It wasn't just Prime Minister Stephen Harper who committed this week to helping Premier Shawn Graham achieve his self-sufficiency agenda.

It was also the most powerful civil servant in Canada.

Harper's right-hand man, the clerk of the Privy Council, is positioned at the centre of governing and has more day-to-day access to him than the most senior cabinet ministers do.

The clerk is Harper's deputy minister, the head of the public service and the man who ensures the cabinet system operates the way Harper envisions.

And Kevin Lynch is also a Maritimer - one with a passion for the region and a keen knowledge of the mixed results of past economic development schemes....-

The spin starts here:
"Canadians want Khadr back: Poll" is the headline of a (red)Star news article. It goes on to state that a majority of Canadians want the little terrorist back in Canada. Mind you that "whopping" majority is all of 51% and has an error of 3.1%.
Then we have the heart tugging line, "Khadr was captured in Afghanistan in 2002, when he was just 15, after a firefight with U.S. forces.", but fails to point out that the "just 15" kid killed a medic and that is the reason he is being held.
And not last or least there is the "...Harper government is loath to speak about Khadr ..." which is right after pointing out that he has been in custody for five years(longer than PM Harper has been in power).
With a steady diet of this crap it is no wonder the Canadian public seem out of touch with the world and reality.

Well Stubby, the people of Toronto may be getting the shaft but the rest of Ontario, especially the communities surrounding Toronto, will benifit from it. More and more Torontonians are going to be moving to the 'Burbs to avoid being incrementally screwed by the Local Politburo.
Comrade Millerovitch and his merry band of socialist scamps will be governing a vast empty city after the lights go out. Think of a stadium an hour after the game has been played and everyone's gone home.

Another poll gone horribly wroing :-)

This is very good news. I like the line "This goes against the views of the vast majority of scientists who believe the rise in the earth's temperatures is due to pollution."

Does this mean:

a) it goes against the views of the vast majority of scientists who believe ...

or b) it goes against the views of the vast majority of scientists, who believe ...

The first interpreation could in fact be a very small number of scientists.

There would not be a love song wrote, or a poem. You could take any song or poem and the feminist would find something in it they felt degraded females.

It reminds me of time in history where the Irish were banned from doing their dances. The English thought it crude, pagan-like, that the Irish danced with their arms flaying about, and they banned their dances.

That is why when we go and see the Irish dancers perform, their arms are always held straight down by their sides, but their feet, they work magic.

My bad.

The article I wanted to draw your attention to reported:

"The Conservative government's politically controversial Bill S-4, the Senate Tenure Bill, was last week wiped off the Senate's Order Paper due to "clever" procedural tricks played by Liberal Senators, says Conservative Nova Scotia Senator Donald Oliver.

"They used a clever technique to kill the bill, so in effect, it's dead," Sen. Oliver said in an interview with The Hill Times outside the Senate Chamber last week. "The bill's been zapped and frozen. The bill's going nowhere, and that was the intention of all these amendments. It was just some very clever legalese designed to thwart the work of the elected House, and to block a government bill.""

Please be gentle - I'm a bit new at this blogging thing.

We have too many Khadrs here already. Bring the little terrorist/anarchist back and charge him and his whole bloody pack and send them packing. They can't call Canada home and work against her.

The Khadrs were the darlings of Chretien and his government, Frere Jean was certainly sympathetic to their plight. It's fitting the Left want the prisoner back from Gitmo to coddle him here.

Neo--"Iran lacks refining capacity"--isn't that the same excuse we are given here for the horrendous rise in gas pricing here? Maybe the US should not have nuclear power either?

Interesting, honeypot--I didn't know that about the Irish dancing. I believe in Quebec, there's a folk dance done while sitting in chairs--something about nosy priests peeking into windows looking for offensive dancing. I've seen it done at multicultural festivals.

George:"Iran lacks refining capacity"

This means they haven't mastered the weapons grade uranium to plutonium transition.

Iran needs diversified energy sources like oil and natural gas because they don't have enough uranium.

Why doesn't Iran just divert some of their physicists to the fuel problem? Simple you would think.

Tata, to us North Americans sure sounds nothing like GM or Ford, Yet in India. . .
====================

Tata Motors, which controls 65% of the Indian commercial vehicle market and 19% of the passenger car market, plans to expand production capacity for most of its products in the face of competition from foreign automakers like Ford, Hyundai, Toyota (nyse: TM - news - people ) and General Motors (nyse: GM - news - people ).

On Wednesday, Nissan (nasdaq: NSANY - news - people ) CEO Carlos Ghosn announced plans to launch a car priced at $3,000 for the Indian market at an as yet undetermined date. Ghosn told reporters in Tokyo that Nissan needed to compete at a lower price level in India.

“You don't want to be surprised when the $3,000 car arrives in the market,” Ghosn, who is also the CEO of Renault (other-otc: RNSDF - news - people ), was quoted as saying. *We are gathering a lot of information.*

Renault is considering launching a cheaper version of its Logan Sedan for about $3,000. Both companies have a tie up with local automaker Mahindra and Mahindra in India.

Global automobile firms are flocking to India because of low costs and a growing middle class that is hitting the roads in increasing numbers. But in recent months, hardening interest rates have hit the passenger car market, a large portion of which is financed by loans. Annualized growth rates for passenger car sales dropped to the single digits in May, at 9.07%.

Understanding General Petraeus's Strategy

Testimony to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
by Frederick W. Kagan
06/27/2007 10:00:00 AM

Testimony delivered by Frederick W. Kagan, resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs on Wednesday, June 27, 2007.

American military forces in Iraq are now entering the second phase of their kinetic operations even as political efforts continue on a separate but linked track. Ambassador Ryan Crocker and General David Petraeus are in the midst of a multi-faceted program that will not proceed in a linear way and will not generate clear and consistent metrics in all of its phases. The early signs are positive in a number of respects, although difficulties and challenges clearly remain. But it is too soon to evaluate the outcome of an operation that is just moving into the first of several phases intended to produce significant positive change in the situation overall.

It is now beyond question that the Bush Administration pursued a flawed approach to the war in Iraq from 2003 to 2007. That approach relied on keeping the American troop presence in Iraq as small as possible, pushing unprepared Iraqi Security Forces into the lead too rapidly, and using political progress as the principal means of bringing the violence under control. In other words, it is an approach similar to the one proposed by the ISG and by some who are now pushing for political benchmarks and the rapid drawdown of American forces as the keys to success in the war. It is no more likely to work now than it was then. Political progress is something that follows the establishment of security, not something that causes it. The sorts of political compromises that Iraq's parties must make are extraordinarily difficult--one might even say impossible--in the context of uncontrolled terrorism and sectarian violence. And the Iraqi Security Forces, although significantly better than they were this time last year, are still too small and insufficiently capable to establish security on their own or even to maintain it in difficult and contested areas without significant continuing coalition support.

For all of these reasons, the president changed his strategy profoundly in January 2007, and appointed a new commander in General Petraeus and a new Ambassador in Ryan Crocker to oversee the new approach. This new approach focuses on establishing security in Baghdad and its immediate environs as the prerequisite for political progress. It recognizes that American forces must be in the lead in many (but not all) areas, and that they will have to remain in areas that have been cleared for some time in order to ensure that security becomes permanent. The aim of the security strategy is to buy space and time for the political process in Iraq to work, and for the Iraqi Security Forces to mature and grow to the point where they can maintain the dramatically improved security situation our forces will have helped them to establish.
