  1. From the Big Brother file:
    PEDIATRICIANS WILL CREATE QUISLING CLINCS
    http://www.lewrockwell.com/lott/lott57.html
    “” Doctors across the United States are being advised to interrogate children about mom and dad’s “bad” behavior. (…) Debbie is a mom from Uxbridge who was in the examination room when the pediatrician asked her 5-year-old, ‘Does Daddy own a gun?’When the little girl said yes, the doctor began grilling her and her mom about the number and type of guns, how they are stored, etc. If the incident had ended there, it would have merely been annoying. But when a friend in law enforcement let Debbie know that her doctor had filed a report with the police about her family’s (entirely legal) gun ownership, she got mad.”

    Does Daddy or Mommy have a bible in the house and go to a church?
    Do Daddy and Mommy make you believe what is said in church?
    Do daddy or mommy say bad things about gay people?
    Do Daddy or Mommy say bad things about the gummint?

  2. WL Mackenzie Redux
    I say sue the doctor for an invasion of privacy!
    Mom or dad have been with our kids every time except one when they go to the doctors.
    And I tell the little ones tell no one we have a gun.
    Seems like even better advice now,

  3. WLMR: You see, now we have to teach our kids to lie as soon as they stop using a pacifier. I did. My kids won’t tell a single soul that my home looks like an armory at BATFE LOL!
    No one even knows that they are district champions in karate and have been fighting full contact across North America. We have hockey for the bruises, they love to play hard.
    When an 11 year old comes home and says ‘Dad, you told me I would loose faith in people some day, so it happened when the teacher told us that the liberal candidate was the best one we could have, that Canada was not like America where people could have guns, and that multiculturalism was wonderful because there was not YET jihad in Canada’ you know something is wrong with his adult peers…

  4. Saskatchewan Election
    Listening to the three main parties argue on John Gormley about who is going to spend more of my money on social programs and students, I cna’t help but to feel truly disgusted. Sick to my stomach, actually. I have come to expect this type of garbage from the NDP, but I had higher hopes for the Sask Party and the Liberals.

  5. Mayor Miller explains what the rest of us can’t understand, why the people of Toronto always vote Liberal. They love paying taxes.
    From National Post:
    “The provincial Liberals’ near-sweep of the city proves Torontonians are willing to pay more taxes, Mayor David Miller said yesterday.”
    “As long as they believe the money is being spent properly and being invested in public services, people are prepared to pay. That’s the message from the election,” Mr. Miller said in an interview.”
    Sock it to them.

  6. Big surprise – more Islamic terrorists living in Canada. From the National Post:
    ================
    A middle-aged Canadian man is the prime suspect in the infamous bombing of a Paris synagogue nearly three decades ago that provoked the fortification of Jewish community sites across Europe and North America.
    France’s Le Figaro newspaper reports that a suspect in the Oct. 3, 1980, bombing outside the Rue Copernic synagogue has been tracked to Canada. The man’s identity and location have not been confirmed by police.
    […]
    The newspaper said the 55year-old suspect, who is of Palestinian descent and reportedly holds dual Lebanese-Canadian citizenship, was traced after German intelligence officials acquired a membership list of the defunct extremist group.
    The RCMP said it is aware of the reported comments by French authorities, but would not comment further.

  7. I have yet to see an NDP, Liberal, PC party, or any sign other than Sask Party.
    Was the Sask party just that ready to go? Is the NDP really in that much trouble? Will the Liberals be shut out again? Is the PC Party of Sask serious?

  8. “Liberal eminence grise”.
    Mao Stlong say: Glise good fol you.
    An excellent comment here. Cuts through the fog to Maurice Strong, the Canadian evil genius.

    Stephane Dion’s calculatedly impotent indignation
    Kyoto means big money for Canadians attached to the Liberal party. If Canada officially rejects Kyoto, that will mean Billion$ will be lost by these Liberal Canadians. Will they accept the loss of Kyoto-related money?
    It’s common knowledge that Liberals and friends of the Liberals have positioned themselves in China to capitalize on Kyoto Carbon Credits that were to be purchased by Canada to mitigate the 35% GHG excess that have been intentionally accumulated by the Chretien-Martin-Dion governments over the 10 years since they signed the Kyoto Accord.
    We all know Canada cannot actually reduce it’s GHG production to the unrealistic targets personally selected by Chretien himself when he signed on to Kyoto. By purchasing Kyoto Carbon Credits from China, Russia, India, Canada would be forgiven for it’s GHG excess production under Kyoto. Canadians were to be put on a huge guilt trip for our sinfulness, requiring Canadian taxpayers to purchase Billion$ of Kyoto Carbon Credits. Then Environment Minister Dion had allocated and initial $5 Billion purchase of Kyoto Carbon Credits in his “Green Plan”. A carbon tax on the Alberta oil sands was inevitable.
    It’s common knowledge that Powercorp-CITIC is involve with the building and operation of brown coal-fired power stations. We know that Paul Martin’s Canada Steamship Lines are building 2 coal-carrying vessels in Chinese shipyards, to transport the brown coal to these power stations. It is also alleged that Chretien is heavily invested in those same Chinese brown coal mines. Chinese resident and Liberal eminence grise Maurice Strong is reputed to be involved with Chinese commerce in N America.
    We also know that Chinese government officials were in attendance at the Liberal leadership convention in Montreal, and the Chinese government has publicly stated it’s displeasure with the Harper Conservative government on several issues such as Chinese involvement in Alberta oil sands, and now Harper’s meeting with Tibetan leader the Dalai Lama. The Chinese do not see the Harper Conservatives a friend of China, particularly if Canada does not purchase Carbon Credits from China and expects China to be obliged to cut backs it’s GHG production too.
    If Harper plants a Kyoto poison pill in the upcoming Throne Speech, it will be interesting to see how Liberal-Chinese interests will react.

  9. Is Conservativism Dying?

    “[…] But there’s arguably greater significance to Mr. Hanger’s announced departure this week than anything he did while sitting in the House of Commons for 14 years.
    If hard-right conservatism is a coal mine, Mr. Hanger’s retirement is the dead canary.
    […] Okay, so one fade-away backbencher does not the death of a movement make. But other vital signs of the serious conservative in Alberta are shutting down — and add up to the spectre of an epitaph.
    Consider this week’s ceased publication of the Western Standard. The resurrected Alberta Report, run by journalistic icon Ted Byfield or his son for decades, was the most consistent voice of the once-wildly right-wing West.
    […] It’s failure to find a viable subscriber base, even while publishing some of the best ideologically sympathetic columnists in the business, speaks to the magazine’s loss of impact or influence, even in the rural right heartland of Alberta.
    But arguably the best evidence that social, hard-right or neo-con conservatism are faded factors in politics today derive from the biblical revelations in the book Harper’s Team, written by Calgary professor Tom Flanagan, a brilliant if not strange political scientist and long-time sounding board for Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
    While Mr. Flanagan does advocate some right-side tweaking, his commandments for successful Conservative reelection are carved in policy moderation, a distinct focus on Quebec, an aggressive outreach to ethnic minorities and a quiet tiptoeing into gentle reform of the system.
    For old-schoolers like Art Hanger, that represents a cardiac clutch and is the sign of a political sellout to the moderate mainstream.
    No wonder he’s leaving. To stick around as a participant in a middle-ground government craving re-election over policy principal qualifies as cruel and unusual.”

  10. Brilliant move by the PM appointing Manley to head the review of the Afghani mission. Kicks bombardion in the gonads, and de-politicizes the issue in time for the next election. Predictably, taliban jack is whining because there are no dippers involved. Well, maybe if they were not so inflexible, and not for their branding of the troops as war criminals, they might be invited to the show. The sidelines is a good place for leftards and moonbats as far as this issue is concerned. Well done PMSH!

  11. For those who are fascinated by questions of science versus religion:
    In Newton’s Secrets, the Temple of God is the place where theology and science come together, where the physical resounds with the spiritual–affirming that the secrets of the great mathematician and physicist, like the secrets underlying the modernity for which he has so often been credited or blamed, have their origins in Jerusalem.

  13. Dion has stated that he will cut the corporate tax rate to 18 not the 18.5 by 2011 the PM has promised, He must be getting advice from his new advisor(rae)as was it not Dions Fav PM that put the corporates at the current, so are we having some guilty feelings.

  14. bryanr – yes, I saw that. After all, the Liberal Party has always been the party to Tax Corporations For Every Penny.
    That’s why Canada doesn’t have an investor class and why we have to rely on foreign capital to develop our industrial infrastructure. And why we aren’t competitive in foreign markets.
    I suspect that what this is about, is that Harper is planning on a deep corporate tax cut; he has long argued for one – and Dion wants to set himself up, in the public eye, as ‘See – Harper is Following Me, Me, Me’.

  15. Kingstonlad, Layton is just p***d off because he knows he is irrelevant in parliament right now. Why, because the Grits are forced to back the government on Throne Speech, gutting of Kyoto (Thank God), or at least abstain from any vote. IOW nobody cares what Jack thinks because his support is irrelevant to govt. He’s left bitching about pharmacare.

  16. Guarantee of no fall election:
    “The federal Conservatives have surged to 40 per cent in the popularity sweepstakes, opening a 12-point lead over the Liberals and moving within sight of majority government, a new national poll says”
    http://www.canada.com/topics/news/politics/story.html?id=ea764103-c867-46df-9658-fb4c9714a2dc
    Harper has signalled his intention to govern, rather than force opposition into defeating him. Having said that, he is going to out them on Kyoto and Afghanistan, both conventionally seen as vulnerable to Tories. Harper has learned his lessons well; it must gall Libs to see him beat them at their own game.
    The only poll that counts is on election day. Still, this latest poll could bring out more knives for Dion. As for Jack Layton, who cares. Same goes for Green, who have been consistent in failing to elect representatives.
    I give Dion a year at most, with or without election. It’s good to be a Tory, and it sucks to be a Grit.

  17. New GLobe and Mail online poll asks if Al Gore deserves the Nobel Prize. So far the No’s have a slight edge.

    ‘Forbes’ Puts Journalists on Endangered Species List (Dinosaur Media DeathWatch™)
    Editor & Publisher […]
    “Another endangered species: journalists.
    Despite the proliferation of media outlets, newspapers, where the bulk of U.S. reporters work, will cut costs and jobs as the Internet replaces print. While current events will always need to be covered (we hope), the number of reporting positions is expected to grow by just 5% in the coming decade, the Labor Department says. Most jobs will be in small (read: low-paying) markets.”

  21. I have just looked at the article explaining the new menu for MPs in Ottawa. No wonder so many liberals are rejecting nominations, if that is what they will have to eat. Bet this menu meets the same fate as happened at schools with so called healthy food. Lots of wasted food.
    No wonder smaller portions will be served, less waste when not eaten.
