  3. On Traverse and Canada’s left Calling Harper Authoritarian (posted by commenter “chester” on Red Tory):
    His ‘threat’ in seeking to have his agenda go through:
    An ELECTION.
    This my friends, is what happens to a group of people who’ve become so coddled by the nanny state, so oblivious to the horrid alternatives to democracy, so complacent as to the rights we have, and so riddled with partisan anger that all perspective is lost.
    That’s right, at this very moment the most sinister, ‘authoritarion’ act imaginable to Canada’s left is holding out the prospect of an election.
    So terribly sad, but so terribly true.

    PM Harper says his gov’t will not accept substantive opposition amendments to the Tackling Violent Crime Bill. This is the bill that revives several anti-crime measures stalled in Parliament.
    Good! If the Opposition won’t pass these measures, it is time for an election.

    Gore’s Grades Belie Image of Studiousness
    “…. In his sophomore year at Harvard, Gore’s grades were lower than any semester recorded on Bush’s transcript from Yale. That was the year Gore’s classmates remember him spending a notable amount of time in the Dunster House basement lounge shooting pool, watching television, eating hamburgers and occasionally smoking marijuana. His grades temporarily reflected his mildly experimental mood, and alarmed his parents. He received one D, one C-minus, two C’s, two C-pluses and one B-minus, an effort that placed him in the lower fifth of the class for the second year in a row.
    For all of Gore’s later fascination with science and technology, he often struggled academically in those subjects. The political champion of the natural world received that sophomore D in Natural Sciences 6 (Man’s Place in Nature) and then got a C-plus in Natural Sciences 118 his senior year….”

  9. Brodbeck’s comments on the Crocus fund brings back the spectre of government interference…..the other story in there was the Run Around where John Gerrard could not find anyone in the NDP to take responsibility for the erosion issue he was looking into.
    He ultimate found out that Christine Melnick at Water Stewardship holds the bag which provides a double punchline:
    A- The Liberal Leader does not know how the government works and has to go door knocking around the legislature building to figure it out.
    B- He thought that Christine Melnick could answer a question about her own department!
    And to think …. if the votes wasted on this doofus had gone to conservative candidates the dippers might very well be out right now.

  11. Liberal and progressive crime policies work: Canadian homicide rate falls once again, now to 1960s levels
    Meanwhile, back to reality;
    http://mesopotamiawest.blogspot.com/2007/09/crime-myths-and-facts.html
    Canada’s national crime rate for violent crime last year was 951 per 100,000 people. It was the same the previous year. Is that good or bad? Let’s check how Canada compares to that violent, gun-toting country next door, the United States. America’s national crime rate for violent crime in 2004 was 465.5 offenses per 100,000 people, less than half as much (2006 473.5 per 100,000).

  12. Ol’ Hoss:
    Some evidence/source please. I’ve seen commenters provide numbers like yours – like Frum for example, which turned out to be fudged in some cases or comparing apples and oranges (i.e. different definitions of “violent crime” or comparing convictions/charges vs. incidents). Let us know where you got your numbers so we can all verify for ourselves.
    The US homicide rate is over 5 per 100,000. Our worst province – Kate’s Saskatchewan – is just over 4 and our national rate is 1.85. And that is with the American healthcare system which so many here claim to want/prefer.

  13. Former federal Liberal government buying ethnic votes via fraudulent immigration. Big surprise.
    And you wonder why big cities like Toronto are Conservative dead-zones?
    ================
    From the National Post:
    Bogus “nannies” are among many fraudsters seeking entry into Canada through a $25 million immigration office in India that was opened in 2004 for political reasons, according to newly released internal documents.
    […]
    Mr. Kurland said the documents prove bureaucrats were correct and the politicians, anxious to reward PunjabiCanadian Liberal supporters clamouring for better immigration services, were wrong to open the mission.
    “ Liberals yearned for Indo-Canadian votes, and even though officials advised politicians that Chandigarh was always a hotbed of false documents, Liberal politics trumped logic,” Mr. Kurland told CanWest News Service.
    “And now Canada’s immigration system gets to pay the price for Liberal ‘pragmatism.’ ”

  14. Sorry, Ol Hoss. Should of linked. Bad online faux pas.
    Anyway, checked your links. The usual canard.
    The FBI number for the US is a national estimate based on information provided on a volunteer basis by less than all of the police associations in the nation. I believe this is all charges, not all reported incidents. Stats Canada uses all incidents reported to police.
    The FBI also has a narrower definition of “violent crime” than Statistics Canada uses.
    Apples and oranges.
    The good thing about your link though, is that in both Canada and US, where liberal crime enforcement laws have been in place since the late 1970s/80s, we see declines in violent crime and homicides.
    So thanks for showing us that in the US as in Canada, liberal progressive crime laws work! Good work Ol’ Hoss!!

  15. That’s interesting, ted, but you are leaving out some important statistics. For the year 2006, in Canada and the USA, the comparisons are clear.
    Violent crime in Canada: 951.2 per 100,000.
    Violent crime in USA: 473.5
    Assaults in Canada; 734.8
    USA: 287.5
    Sexual assaults in Canada: 67.9
    USA: 30.9
    Homicide in Canada: 1.9
    USA 5.7
    So, violence in Canada is far more common than in the USA. Only homicides are fewer. That doesn’t mean that the gun registry works – don’t be dim; long guns aren’t used to shoot your neighbour, and criminals don’t register their handguns, (registered since 1934). Oh, and the current homicide rate is the same as 2002. And attempted murder has increased from 2.2 to 2.6 in 2006.
    In fact, the peak violent crime rate in the USA was in 1991- with 758.1 per 100,000. That’s less than Canada’s rate now – and the US crime rate has been dropping since then.

  16. Kinsella admits(advises) media must be sucked-up-to in order to win elections;
    [Press: As the Post’s freelance media observer, I can assure Mr. Dion of one thing: The national media are not fans of the current Conservative regime. As one former prime minister once said to me: “In this job, you don’t end up liking the media very much. The key is to never show it.” For reasons best known to himself, Mr. Harper shows it. Mr. Dion, therefore, needs to coddle and cajole the press corps whenever and however possible. It may sound hokey, but it’ll work. Like everyone else, journalists do not want to be treated like criminals for doing their job.]WK

  19. Canada also has the highest rural crime rate of any industrialized country in the world- the reason – Reserves. take places like Caledonia where violence is so ignored its almost encouraged.

  20. Ted, sorry but good try. You just aren’t believable with all the news from “your” MSM on increased gang violence in the centre of the universe. I believe ET but your phrase “I believe this is all charges” lays it out. You are expressing an opinion, not a fact, much like the news your MSM reports…..
    You are cherry picking bits that support your argument and ignoring the rest, expected but sad.

  21. The good thing about your link though, is that in both Canada and US, where liberal crime enforcement laws have been in place since the late 1970s/80s, we see declines in violent crime and homicides.
    So thanks for showing us that in the US as in Canada, liberal progressive crime laws work!
    Less than the 1950’s and 1960’s when the laws weren’t so “progressive”?

  22. Don’t forget all the plea barganing that goes on in Canada. All we have to do is get the crime off the sheet and then, poof, it wasn’t committed.
    As Mark Twain said–there are lies, damn lies, and then there are statistics!
    Next they will tell us healthcare has improved!
    I don’t know many people who go out walking at night. The security companies have increased work orders. What does this mean? That we are so safe and yet we are afraid of criminals?

  23. no, ted, you can’t claim that the US and Canadian statistics are invalid comparisons because, you say that the FBI has a ‘narrower definition’ of violent crime. Rape is rape, homicide is homicide, and so on.
    And your claim that the US stats are invalid because they are only charges not reports is without evidence.
    And, the Canadian statistical rates are not, in contrast to your claim, going down; they are going up.
    Stats Canada ‘persons charged’ for homicide is 1.8, same as in 2002.
    Violent crime CHARGED is 500.7 – and that’s still larger than the US 473.5
    Persons charged with assault – 391.8, larger than the US 287.5
    Sexual assault – 27.8 – close to the US 30.9.
    So- if you could explain how the ‘liberal’ tactics are working, that would be fascinating. That includes the new ‘three strikes’ law in the US – which is not friendly to liberal tactics.
    You see, the liberal, socialist definition of the cause of crime is that it is strictly pyschological, while the conservative definition is that crime is, percentage wise, only psychological in the low ratios and is heavily an economic cause.
    That is, the left attributes crime to pyschological causes that can be overcome by social workers (govt funded) – ie, ‘unhappy childhood, bullying, various forms of new definitions of abuse, etc. The idea is that IF these people hadn’t been victims of such ‘abuse’, they wouldn’t commit crimes.
    The far more pragmatic view is that crime is an economic level of society; it is highly lucrative. You don’t have to take years of boring education to get into the returns, you don’t work 9-5 and so on. What is ‘good’ about the crime economy is its high returns and, in a leftist society, its low risks. Get caught? You are out on bail instantly. No lawyer? The state will provide you with one, while you sock your money away from the taxman.
    So, the pragmatic (conservative) approach is to make this level of the economy riskier. Increase the risks, which lowers the profitability of this mode of life. Nothing to do with ‘psychology’ and the idealistic notion that ‘all people are good’ and all it takes is a social worker to straighten them out’.
    That’s what pragmatism is about, ted; that’s conservativism; it looks at reality with clear eyes and reason. Not within the mush of fictional accounts of Why I Was A Criminal.

  24. Commsguy:
    “You are cherry picking bits that support your argument and ignoring the rest, expected but sad.”
    No, I’m not. I’m saying we don’t know enough information about the reports to compare them. What I know about them, it seems pretty clear that the numbers are not comparable. Incidents vs. charges are calculating different things. Also, as noted int he FBI report itself, they are providing an estimate only and based upon less than all police associations (they use only information that is voluntarily given by the police associations).
    In Canada, we use a much broader definition of sexual assault for example and use a consistent definition across the whole country (one criminal code). In the US, you have 50 different criminal codes with varying definitions. The FBI report doesn’t look beyond the information provided to it by police associations as stated in the report.
    So maybe US violent crime rates are down – which would be surprising given how very much higher the homicide rate is – but I’m just saying we can’t conclude one way or another based on Ol Hoss’s information.
    But back to the point of the thread here: Harper is scaremongering Canadians with a crime estimates that are not accurante and in the face of crime statistics that show liberal crime policies WORK.

  25. ET: Obviously you don’t know what you are talking about when you make silly comments like “rape is rape” so there is no point in wasting my time with your usual unsupported platitudes.
    There is no such thing as “rape” under the Criminal Code. There is “sexual assualt”. Sexual assault includes any kind of touching that is of a sexual nature (even sometimes including sexual oggling!). It is a very problematic definition in a lot of ways, but to the point of this discussion it is problematic to compare a Canadian definition of “sexual assault” with statistics from a US state that may define it as only being what you would consider rape.
    That’s just basic logic, ET.

  30. yoo hoo, ted – you are slithering again, the tactic that you always, invariably, use when you are confronted with facts.
    First- I made it clear that there are stats available for both ‘incidents reported’ and ‘charges’. Your attempt to slither out of a valid comparison is therefore empty.
    I provided you with statistics about charges in both countries. These show that the Canadian charges are higher than the US charges. I’m sure you’ll respond with yet more slithering.
    Don’t slither by focusing only on one definition – ‘rape’. The stats Canada CHARGES has two sets for ‘sexual’: sexual assault and ‘other sexual offences’. So, if we combine the two of 27.8 and 2.8, we come up with 30.6, which is statistically similar to the US 30.9.
    Now, the other terms – all show that the US ratio is much lower than the Canadian – please show us how you’ll slither out of that, Ted. I know you are predisposed to reject that data, but, data is more valid than your rhetoric.
    Speaking of unsupported platitudes, ted, tell us exactly how ‘liberal crime policies WORK’. You refuse to accept the statistics, so, what is your data base??????

  31. OttRob beat me to it, but it bears repeating — flagrant abuse of the immigration system and taxpayers’ money by former Librano government for purely political gain — “Nannies’ Exploit Visa Office” in the National Post front page. Liberals — rebuilding the party one crook at a time.

  32. Here’s a study, Ted,
    “In comparison with other developed countries, crime rates in Canada are relatively high. The
    United Nations International Crime Victims Survey of 17 industrialized countries in 2000 placed
    Canada in the “high risk” group for violent-contact crimes, worse than the United States, where
    the violent crime rate has dropped significantly since 1999. Canada’s has stayed virtually the
    same.
    A large part of the problem in Canada stems from the public policy underlying the Criminal
    Code. This policy dictates that convicted criminals should not be jailed except as a last resort. It
    discourages prosecution and responsibility for criminal behaviour, and encourages conditional
    sentences or no consequences for committing crime. The result also is that all too often repeat
    offenders regard jail for short periods as a “cost of doing business”.
    According to the US Justice Department’s 2004 victimization survey, between 1993 and 2004,
    the violent crime rate in the US dropped by 57% and the property crime rate dropped by 50%.
    These are impressive figures, by any measure.
    Research at Stanford University by Steven Levitt, reported in the Journal of Economic
    Perspectives (2004), shows what has worked to reduce crime in the US. Professor Levitt found
    evidence linking increased punishment to lower crime rates is very strong indeed, “…the
    increase in incarceration over the 1990s can account for a reduction of about one-third of the
    observed decline in crime.” And, “the increase in police can thus explain somewhere between
    one fifth and one tenth of the overall decline in crime.” Ranking similar to increased
    incarceration, lower birthrates in key socio-economic groupings were also reported as a
    significant factor, while the waning of the crack epidemic was a lesser contributing influence.

    Now, Ted, could you please show us how ‘liberal’ policies reduce crime?
