    Well, perhaps they are SMARTER than we are !!
    I would think that this man knows a thing or two about freedom — and the loss of it. Has anyone read his book ?
    ” What Is Endangered: Climate or Freedom? ” Václav Klaus (President of the Czech Republic)
    ” In my argumentation I don’t talk about climatology but about environmentalism, about an ideology which puts nature and environment and their supposed protection and preservation before and above freedom.” VK
    Communism and Socialism failed Big-Time and the Berlin Wall came down — so the Freeloaders of the world tried a new tactic. Fanatical Environmentalism. (emphasis on the Fanatical part.
    ” Talking about communism, talking about europeism and talking about environmentalism is more or less, structurally, similar if not identical. The issue is always freedom and its enemies.” VK
    Nanny State knows best, ya see.
    ” After spending the whole day at the UN Climate Change Conference on Monday and two following days at the General Assembly I know what I am talking about.” VK
    Can you imagine how sickening it must have been to be at those meetings with middle-aged hyppies whose real agenda is to perpetuate their “career”. Meetings which cost us $Millions —complete with swim-up bars !!
    ” The problem is that we are confronted with many prejudices, misunderstandings and now already also vested insterests. As I said, the climate change debate is basically not about science; it is about ideology. It is not about global temperature; it is about the concept of human society. It is not about scientific ecology; it is about environmentalism.” VK
    Is the real basis of this huge fraud simply a ‘my religeon is just as good (or bad) as yours’ sorta thing.
    It boggles the mind, how a man, who grew up behind the Iron Curtain, can make so much sense and Al Gore can be so dumb. And the media is only now starting to report on it.

  2. I have been saying this for over a year now. It is about freedom, power and taxes. The socialistst at the UN want a world wide socialist government. Listen to their words. Tax the rich countries to help the poor. Just another wealth transfer. They will not be happy until we are all equal. Poor but equal.

  4. Yes Kevin; it is about FREEDOM. Why don’t Liberals believe in it?
    Elderly Gun Owners Target of Inspections
    It is targeting owners who are 75 years or older. The office has sent letters to 48 owners in Toronto advising them of the upcoming inspections, which will be prearranged.
    The CSSA says the clause in the Firearms Act that permits inspectors to go into homes is unconstitutional.
    “For the drug gangs they have to get a warrant before they go into their houses, and yet the Firearms Act allows them to come into our house when we’ve never committed a crime in our life. In fact if we did, we wouldn’t have a firearms licence,” said Larry Whitmore, executive director of CSSA.

  5. So in the heat of emotion, Mulroony made a mistake and went on the offensive by calling for an inquiry. Too bad! He should have kept quiet.
    The inquiry route with the raft of lawyers and researchers is going to cost you and me,[ taxpayers] a bundle. The irony is that all this investment is for the benefit of the most crooked club, namely the Liberal party. An inquiry paid for out of Liberal funds would make more sense. Otherwise. .
    A special prosecutor would be far more reasonable. The ethics committee questioning Schreiber was a silly gong show. Five minute limited questions without review of Schreiber*s 35,000 pages is a stupid waste of time and money.
    Germans are more efficient. Karl belongs in German courts first and if he eventually returns to Canada, our courts could deal with him properly, after first digesting the 35,000 pages of subpoenaed Schreiber papers. = TG

  6. WHY do Liberals want an election?
    Let me count a few reasons:
    1. The Liberals are broke. Their fundraising is terrible. An election would pay them $1.75 from the TAXPAYER for every single vote -even if they run a tree stump in some ridings they will generate millions of dollars in CASH from the TAXPAYER which is the kind of money Liberals are used to.
    So, in order to get millions in cash from the TAXPAYER for themselves the Liberals have no problem sticking the taxpayer with a $350 MILLION bill for an election so they can skim about $20 MILLION for themselves.
    2. The Liberals (meaning the power brokers behind the Liberals pulling the strings) do not want the Conservatives to keep drying up their sources of cash from the TAXPAYER by tightening the strings around such yummy Liberal TAXPAYER money sources as the Technology Partnerships and all of those yummy Foreign Aid and disaster fund grants and especially CIDA which has given BILLIONS over the Liberal years to such illustrious people as Maurice Strong (who set up CIDA) who could then get power with nice little dictators and communists and despots.
    Harper is threatening audits and accountability on all of these yummy Liberal money pots.
    3. Speaking of skimming money for international despots how about that Canadian Wheat Board. What would an audit disclose? Do you think Paul Martin’s untendered contract to ship our farmer’s wheat might be a bit suspicious. How about the behind the scene deals with China?
    Harper wants a full audit on the CWB not to mention 100% accountablity by finally oepning up the CWB to Freedom of Information.
    4. There is a report coming on the Liberal’s contracts with Earnscliff which Paul Martin gleefully gave in the multi multi milliions of TAXPAYER dollars to act as a propaganda arm of the Liberal Party. Conveniently Paul Martin forbid Gomery from including these contracts in the Inquiry.
    That’s just 4 off the top of my head for now. The LIBERALS motives for an election have NOTHING to do with any of us – the Canadians citizens who pay their bills and give them power.
    I’m sure you can all add to the self serving reasons Liberals want an election. Sure has nothing to do with good governance. We have that now don’t you agree with Harper?

  9. PM Stephen Harper; Man of principle
    National Post
    Published: Saturday, December 01, 2007
    This week, a rival newspaper ran a headline that had the Nobel Prize-winning anti-land mine campaigner Jody Williams asking, “Where’s Canada’s leadership in global issues?” There’s no sense pretending: By “global issues,” the Virginian scold means ” my issue,” which Canada is no longer pushing for quite as aggressively as it did under prior Liberal governments.
    The funny thing is that “leadership” is ordinarily a code word in politics for doing and saying things you believe in, even when others judge them unpopular. On that score, the current prime minister has recently had quite a remarkable run of “leadership” in foreign policy.
    Last month, for instance, he met personally with the Dalai Lama, pontiff of Tibetan Buddhism and leader of Tibet’s government-in-exile. The Chinese Communists consider it a grievous insult to treat the Dalai Lama as what he patently is — the living representative of a state and a religion that have been conquered and oppressed by a rapacious neighbour. A spokesman for China’s foreign ministry called the meeting “disgusting” and claimed it had “seriously undermined Sino-Canadian relations.”
    There is very little to be gained for Mr. Harper politically in meeting with someone like the Dalai Lama; if there are single-issue Tibet voters, they’re unlikely to go Conservative en masse, and a band of ragtag, dispossessed monks is not going to present the PM with some showy, prearranged trade deal either. He did it because the Tibet situation is an unrectified, unredressed outrage, and putting gentle pressure on China is the only practical means we have of preserving hope for a satisfactory resolution in the future.
    The Prime Minister wasn’t finished delivering sharp elbows to major world powers. His government plans to go ahead with hearings and a House of Commons resolution on the “comfort women” from conquered nations who were forced to serve as sex slaves during the Second World War. An awkward process of framing the statement in a way that limits the harm to Japanese relations is underway, but any mention of Japanese war crimes is likely to antagonize the current Japanese government, whose leader has denied the existence of comfort women.
    Meanwhile, the PM was front and centre on Thursday at a somber Ottawa ceremony to mark Stalin’s 1932-33 terror-famine in the Ukraine, which is still constantly being minimized and recast as an accident by pro-Russian historians. Although he avoided using the term “genocide,” he left no doubt where he stands on the issues of whether the famine was consciously engineered and who it was directed at, speaking of “what was done to the Ukrainian people” and stating that “The main instrument of Stalin’s persecution of Ukrainians was collectivization.”
    This stance will win him no new friends in Russia, or with the international leftists who still see (or wish people to see) Stalin as a well-intentioned brute. Its only merit is that it is the truth, and standing behind the truth cannot be wrong.
    The Liberals talked a good game about using Canada’s moral authority in the world to exercise “soft power.” But were they equally attentive to building up that authority, or employing it in the service of historical memory?

  10. “Don MacNeil, Western Canada vice-president for the Communications, Energy and Paperworkers Union, said he is “totally disappointed, disgusted, (and) angry” with the decision.” Domtar and the PA pulp mill.
    If the Union believes in this project’s viability, why don’t THEY invest in it?
    Gunney99; this is only the start of a program to eventually ban gun ownership in Ontario. With a Premier like McGuinty, and a Mayor David Miller, this was to be expected.

  11. “The Liberals are broke. Their fundraising is terrible. An election would pay them $1.75 from the TAXPAYER for every single vote -even if they run a tree stump in some ridings…”
    A tree stump would be an improvement in quite a few ridings, such as my own, now represented by Liberals.

    Communism A Failure, Says Former Estonian PM
    Mart Laar, two-time Prime Minister of Estonia, has been credited with lifting the small Baltic nation out of economic and social collapse under communism to becoming a prosperous, free society.
    Currently a member of the Estonian Parliament, Laar first became Prime Minister of Estonia at age 32. During his tenure from 1992-1994, he initiated sweeping economic reforms that included unilateral free trade, privatization, and the introduction of the world’s first flat tax.
    Laar was re-elected in 1999 and served until 2002. Known as the Baltic Tiger, in the past two decades Estonia has experienced unprecedented economic growth and has dramatically reduced poverty and inequality. It is also a leader in technology development, and is the home of the Internet phone service, Skype.
    In a recent interview with Epoch Times reporter and NTDTV correspondent Cathy Liu, Laar talked about the violent nature of communism and the lack of human rights in China, the world’s largest communist state.
    NTDTV: Why is it that people have suffered so much under communism?
    Laar: From 1940 on, Estonia was occupied by the Soviet Union, so I was born in an occupied country, a communist country, which meant for us total destruction. We lost nearly 20 per cent of our population as a result of the occupation. Our economy and our environment were destroyed after this. We gained our independence in 1991, and I was one of the first prime ministers of the free Estonia.
    Totalitarian systems are based on fear and violence. With communism there is always killing, there is always injustice, there is always violence. Communism is against human nature and is a system that is not good for human beings.
    Communism has been a failure in all areas of life and to understand it, one must compare communist countries with non-communist countries and see how fast they have moved and how slowly communist countries have moved. There’s a very clear difference.
    NTDTV: The Coalition to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong (CIPFG) has initiated a worldwide Human Rights Torch Relay to raise awareness about China’s human rights record in the run-up to the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. Do you think it can help bring about change?
    Laar: I think it’s necessary to have an event like this torch relay to really remind the world that the Olympics were allocated to China only with the promise that China would improve its human rights. Frankly, this hasn’t happened. […]
    NTDTV: There’s a report called “Bloody Harvest” compiled by two Canadians detailing the theft of organs from living Falun Gong practitioners to supply China’s lucrative organ transplant industry. Some people find this so horrifying they don’t want to believe it’s true. What do you say to them?
    Laar: I remember this very well when I lived under communism. It was very sad to see how the world even then ignored the same question. They said “No, no, it’s overestimated, it couldn’t be so bad. Such evil doesn’t exist.” How many people believed that the concentration camps and the holocaust existed?
    I remember very well how we hoped that somebody would raise their voice in the free world to really say loudly what is happening in the Soviet communist system. We were not listened to, we were not heard for a long time.
    Ronald Reagan was heavily criticized in the west when he called the Soviet Union an “evil empire.” But for us it was a very positive message, and it was enormously important in encouraging people to initiate action against the dictatorship. …-

  14. I am wondering if anyone else in N.America is concerned by the possible Bush/Clinton reign extending to 7+ terms in the US?
    In a country of over 300 million people,it seems an obvious blight to true democracy to me.Surely to christ someone without the last name Bush or Clinton has the smarts for the presidency.
    If Hilary gets in,maybe these two families should just be declared a monarchy and do away with these silly,costly things called elections.
    From what I have seen of both political parties,there is not a single candidate between them with the integrity to talk honestly and earnestly with the American people anyways.
    What a catastrophe for democracy that the lead nation for it’s cause has morphed the election process into little more than a Mrs/Mr USA pageant.
    Sigh.

  15. Re: Hillary booed.
    Last summer, I was having an after-work beer on a terrasse in Tourist Ottawa. I got talking with others sitting around adjacent tables. A humourist noted his astonishment that a Canadian supported “Dubbya” but reckoned Clinton was a shoo-in, and that an American (feminista) detested her.
    I was perplexed by this at the time, “but surely you must support Clinton, as she will win and be the first female president” I say to the feminista.
    However, it appears that the left of the party is hell-bent on self-imolation. This booing is another example.

  16. Not making this up,
    “…A North Pole expedition meant to bring attention to global warming was called off after one of the explorers got frostbite.
    The explorers, Ann Bancroft and Liv Arnesen, on Saturday called off what was intended to be a 530-mile trek across the Arctic Ocean after Arnesen suffered frostbite in three of her toes, and extreme cold temperatures drained the batteries in some of their electronic equipment.
    The explorers had planned to call in regular updates to school groups by satellite phone, and had planned online posts with photographic evidence of global warming.

    Losing toes ain’t no laughing matter but…

  21. CALEDONIA: MAN BEATEN BY NATIVES FOR PROTESTING ILLEGAL SALE OF CIGARETTES.
    http://tinyurl.com/yqdo6f
    “” A lawyer for one of the injured men, Gary McHale of Richmond Hill, who has organized past protests against the native occupation of a housing development in Caledonia, said his client was badly beaten in a “completely unprovoked attack by a group of natives.”
    But the OPP said in a release that protesters approached the Argyle Street shack “taunting and provoking” people there. “”
    Please note how the “New” Police function blames the victim for an openly agressive criminal act…yeah sure…So by that standard the cops get what they deserve for “provoking” criminals into obeying the law…which seems to be par for the course here, because they do not enforce the law against natives who break it….don’t want to “provoke” them.

  24. Carole McNeil did a puff piece of Stephane Dion today. She tried – really tried – to build up the poor fellow, but he just couldn’t muster up a credible case for himself. The funniest statement he made was when he was defending his poll numbers, noting that the Liberals have stayed close “despite the best economy since Confederation”.
    Note to Dion: It’s usually not considered a good thing to remind people that your opponent is responsible for a better economy than your own party has ever, in history been able to muster.
    His description of how well he’s doing with his English lessons was absolutely priceless.

  25. I just watched a fine piece of editing on ‘question period’. They showed a clip of KHS’s testimony. He was asked if a letter that he had Mulroney take to Harper had any results. He replied “Yes,I was told that it was recieved very favourably”. END of clip. In reality,KHS said “Yes,I was told it was recieved very favourably,but I believe that Mr. Mulroney was lying.” Now,why would they leave that part out? Ctv and cbc,the unofficial opposition.

  27. Ah, so the Ontario Securities Comm is just like the old Ontario Hydro before they went broke or ‘restructured’.
    Hydro had oodles of middle managers making $140,000 plus/yr, and secretaries making $70,000/yr before the good times came to an abrupt end with about $120 billion of debt.
    And of course, these OSC people who have such a keen sense of value judgement and exaggerated self-worth are exactly the paper-shufflers, err I mean people, who should ‘regulating’ the securities of a province.
    Hard to believe that Ontario wants a national securities commission to keep track of the whole country.
    A very good and necessary idea, but everybody from Ontario should be disqualified from any meaningful job in it, or else it will degenerate into exactly what they have now – protecting the criminals from the victims.

  28. Sorry,my bad. KHS’s reply about the letter was much longer,but his implication was that Mulroney was lying.

    “At this crucial moment, Canada cannot afford to be a laggard,” wrote Mr. Dion. “It must help the world community come to agreement that we will not allow global climate to change more than two degrees Celsius.”
    When are all these statements of preposterous leftist delusion ever going to get called out for the supreme idiocy that they are?
    And somehow Harper is the one taking all the bad press on this non-issue. Real surprising…

  32. Lorraine — thanks for posting on Harper rated” #1 amongst the most admired leaders in the world.” It is very gratifying to see this. Perhaps at least a few people in Canada will realize that they have been underrating this guy. I think that given half a chance, Harper could be one of our most outstanding Prime Ministers. I think he has done many, many things right that largely go unrecognized or that get panned by the cynical news media in Canada.

  33. Grandpuppies and grandkitties. When aging baby boomers talk about the newest generation, that’s the lament I’m hearing from many. They wish they could take care of grandchildren for a weekend when their grown-up children go away, but there aren’t any grandchildren because their grown-up sons and daughters aren’t producing any. Instead, they raise dogs and cats, so they ask their boomer parents to watch their pets for them when they go to Bermuda or Cancun, or wherever. That’s what it has come to. It’s one unforeseen result of the fervent boomer belief that our planet is overpopulated.

  34. Well — last week I was calling for deportation of Schreiber, but after seeing him in the hearing last week and viewing the pants picture, I’ve become a fan. I’m starting to like someone who can manipulate the political “elite” and thumb his nose at a system that is rife with injustice anyway. Who is hauling Chretien into court for screwing that guy at the Business Development Bank and putting out untendered contracts? Mr. Schreiber was just looking after his interests — they all were — but suddenly it is only Mr. Schreiber who gets handcuffed and his belt taken away. I am beginning to think he is a rather endearing character. Of course he was operating on the in the greyer regions of legality, but what I think is interesting is to ask how much worse his actions were than those of many others. He might have been doing some “paying off”, but what about all those unknowns who were accepting payoffs. I think I now ant to keep Mr. Schreiber around. He promises to be amusing for quite some time.

    My family lost someone near to us about 10 years ago due to AIDS; reading this makes me think that he was killed by the medical profession. I wonder how many others have died needlessly because of the politics of the medical establishment, drug companies, etc.?
    It takes a while to go through everything, and I don’t pretend to understand all the medical terms, but, just as with the AGW group, it seems there’s a huge group of flat-earthers who will fight and deny any evidence that challenges their theory. I strongly recommend anyone who is interested in this subject follow the links.
