  1. There’s a new poll over at cnews.canoe.ca about what would give hope for a mideast peace agreement. Go over there and give them some reality!

  2. BRIT BLOGGER UNDER ATTACK BY UK MUSLIM CENSORS:
    http://tinyurl.com/36buqn
    “Islamist rule over the UK may, alarmingly, be on its way. Today, the British police want to question and/or arrest the British blogger known as Lionheart. His crime? Turning his life around as a young school dropout and petty drug dealer and emerging as a believing Christian who opposes the drug plague in his hometown of Luton and who views the Pakistani Islamist and al-Qaeda control of the drug trade in Luton as both criminally and politically dangerous. For this, Lionheart has been charged with “stirring up racial hatred”—which is a crime in the UK.
    Yes, Luton—where the 7/7 suicide bombers, Omar Bakri, and the hook-handed Abu Hamza of the Finsbury Park Mosque all came from.”

  3. “Ontario Liberal MP Ruby Dhalla said she rescued two children from an Indian jail this week after they snatched her assistant’s purse at an event in a village where she was being honoured.”
    We wondered how the MSM would spin this story! Now, Dhalla “rescued” the two kids, so she’s a HERO, not the uncaring villain portrayed in the Indian media.
    We shoulda known a Liberal is incapable of any mean spiritedness. Way to go ,Ruby, I’ve taken down my Maggie Thatcher picture and replaced it with yours!

  4. Ha…the ‘voice of authority’ on cyberbulling wants Michelle to die….
    Maybe Joe should go over to give WK some Poo from hell…

  5. The Wall Street Journal starting today is opening all of its editorial content and more to the public free. From what I’ve read Murdoch’s plan is to morph from paid subscription to online ad based for revenues.
    In my opinion, the WSJ is the de facto paper of record in the US now. I’m glad to see more content open to everyone. I hope the business content follows too.

  6. That list was printed in the TO Sun just before the election..thanks to Lorrie Golstein.
    The sheeple that let the TO Star tell them what to think obviously missed it.
    Don’t confuse them with the facts, their minds were made up.

  7. One of these days he’s going to realize that I don’t care, and that he doesn’t matter.
    It’s ironic how quickly the mask falls off and the underlying sexist (as well as other) attitudes are revealed when some liberals get prickly, as evidenced in two separate entries here. It’s not surprising when one considers that liberalism at its worst is a patronizing philosophy, i.e. Since I’m much smarter than you, and I know you can’t really look after yourself, I’m here to look after you through the imposition of government rules and programmes.
    You and another brilliant female blogger are now witches (hmm… and what does that rhyme with?) while in your link above to Michelle Malkin good ol’ liberal-boy Joe Roppe of Wisconsin fantasizes about force-feeding Michelle a hamburger while dreaming of her death from anorexia or bulemia.
    Issues? Whew!
    Warren and Joe really need to get together for a barbecue. I’ll bet they could flip some burgers and talk some real man talk about those threatening skinny witches that haunt their thoughts.
    O would some power the giftie gie us to see ourselves as others see us.
    Heh heh.

    Lashkar: tribal war party (not usually applied to less than 200 men)
    Shamim Shahid, Waziri elders to reactivate lashkar
    PESHAWAR – Despite agreeing to hold talks with traditional jirga of Mehsud tribesmen, the elders from all nine sub-tribes and clans of Ahmadzai Wazir tribe have decided to reactivate their traditional lashkar for self-defence as well as ensuring peace and tranquillity in the area…

  9. Apparently ol Joe forgot, that along with anonymity, the NET also comes with a search function 😉

  10. W.L.,
    Re. Lionheart. Perhaps you recall the Channel 4 series ‘Undercover Mosque’ in which British imams and pious muslims were shown commiting nothing but hate speech, calling for beheadings of the British kuffr, all based on and quoted from the Quran, Hadith, Sira, etc.
    Of course, these scumbag muslims weren’t locked up or deported, rather, Channel 4 was investigated by the police instead.
    “Without confronting the ideological roots of radical Islam it will be impossible to combat it… It is vital to grasp that traditional and even mainstream Islamic teaching accepts and promotes violence…”
    David Thompson has it right. It’s an insight we had all better get exactly right.

  11. Typical pro-Liberal BS at CTV. The Liberals were told about the problems at Chalk River in 2002 by the Auditor General.
    But the headline reads “AG says Lunn knew of reactor issues in September”
    The 2002 Liberal government reference is buried in the 21st paragraph of the CTV story. Guess they don’t want to upstage their hero Dion when he is on his hypocritical soapbox again?

  12. 199 “Reasons not to Vote Liberal”
    I think the list needs to be Updated.
    #200

    #202
    Dion
    Etc……

  13. Have met more than just a few people who said they discovered Kate from W’s rants — are sda regulars now 🙂

  14. Kate Wheeler is dissappointed:there was no bloodshed from the emergency landing at Calgary today after experiencing turbulence.
    Safe landing and EMS on hand for the injured…but Kate tries for 20 minutes to squeeze some blood out of the story.
    The good stuff:
    experts followed procedure, safe emergency landing, minor injuries ,quick EMS response.
    Isn’t that a story?

  15. China and EFADS move over.. here comes India!
    The CBC got it wrong. I mentioned the coming low cost vehicles that Tata Motors of India will be putting on the world market. The Nano gets 55 MPG.
    Now the CBC decided to mention this new trend, but they announced the price as $2500 when in fact the price is more likely 2500 Euros. Not the same thing at all.
    To be fair, The New York Times says $2,500 rather than Euros. In any case it is cheap.
    http://www.rediff.com/money/2008/jan/10tatacar.htm
    Nissan Renault, Fiat and others are getting ready to plunge into this eco-market in India.
    If you think the $299 Asusteck laptop is a bargain, India plans to provide their citizens with computers in the $10 to $20 range.

  16. Gloria Steinem contradicts herself in the New York Times,
    She first tells us it is wrong to decide which candidate you will vote for based on their sex.
    then concludes,
    We have to be able to say: “I’m supporting her because she’ll be a great president and because she’s a woman.”

  17. Goldman Sachs predicts high probability of a recession in Ontario this year.
    Well, I have news for you. Factor out all of the money that premier mcjerkface has been circulating around, and we are balls deep in a recession.
    Once again, librano thieves have used the money stolen from the middle class to create an illusion of prosperity that helped them to win the election.
    We shall see how many of these idiots vote librano next time when they are looking at a 30% decline in the value of their house, and little jimmy can’t secure meaningful employment close to home.

  18. “The adults will stop wars for oil.” Joe Roppe
    Maybe this dude doesn’t know that the US gets most of its oil from Canada. If the US wanted more oil, why haven’t they blown Iran to bits yet; it’s not like they have far to go to do it.

  19. Laibar Singh deportation suddenly on the front burner. He’s been here since 2003 on a false passport and there is no effort to oust him until there is a non-Liberal Govt. Kind of smells like the Chalk River boondoggle. And the CRC harassing employees over Co. supplied parking spots, etc. Liberal appointed bureaucrats trying to stir up anti-CPC fervor? Makes one wonder!

  20. “Jackie Kennedy’s comment to her mother on hearing that a leftist had been arrested for killing her husband:
    He didn’t even have the satisfaction of being killed for civil rights . . . . It’s — it had to be some silly little Communist. (Manchester, Death of a President, p. 407)”
    The Oswald Effect; Johnny, we hardly knew ye after November 1963.
    (Camelot and the Cultural Revolution: How the Assassination of John F. Kennedy Shattered American Liberalism)(Book review) […]
    “the one fact that Piereson finds most salient to probing the political effects of JFK’s death: JFK was murdered by an ideological Communist.”
    “it was the reaction to the assassination itself, within the mainstream American establishment as well as among liberal intellectuals, that caused liberalism essentially to suffer a nervous breakdown.”
    “Piereson’s discerning eye draws out the debilitating consequence of this: It de-legitimated the great liberal tradition of incremental reform, and robbed liberalism of its optimistic patrimony and belief in progress.”
    “liberalism still has not come to grips with this, preferring instead to recycle the old themes and regurgitate the conspiracy theories for the umpteenth time.” …-

  21. One of these days he’s going to realize that I don’t care, and that he doesn’t matter.
    Yeah and that day will come when you neither do response posts like this nor any further threads on WK. I swear I didn’t know who he was until I came to sda. Seriously!

  22. MND…you have just revealed your age.. You would have known WK from the public ridiculing that he gave Stockwell Day for his faith.
    (Of course WK is of the oh so open minded tolerant Liberal mind)
    But c’mon…it’s good for kate to give us some comic relief occasionally at his expense.

  23. Root causes, then and now,
    Disagree!
    You simply have to dump professionals who are lost in a sea of detail. Can*t see things clearly.
    Jihadists, [the Saudi $Billionair Bin Laden contracting family], simply offer a mat and a daily meal to young men suffering the pains of poverty and ignorance.
    There is no universal school system in Afghanistan or Pakistan. The Taliban destroy schools and slay teachers simply because an educated young mind may understand fair government and personal rights and freedoms. Ability to read does not equal *educated*.
    The educated in Iran are the Mullah*s main headache today.
    Mosques are the preferred venue where young minds are rote trained to hate with gusto and where there are no distractions about fair government and human rights.
    Scholar and leader, Winston Churchill*s papers on fundamentalist Islam, circa 1800s, read like they are current today. This is nothing new.
    Afghanistan and the middle east is a long term project for us because education must be expanded and the mature population must be trained to provide reliable long term security.
    If Nato troops leave, the people will revert to poverty stricken poppy farmers under the thumb of the Taliban.
    With vast Oil and drugs income, the jihadists will flourish and spread exponentially.
    How we plan to expand schools in Pakistan is the next challenge.= TG

  24. blutech, not knowing WK is not an age determining factor. I didn’t recall him dissing Stock Day nor do I remember what’s his name that had neo cons drinking beer and eating popcorn for some reason. A waste of gray matter.
    Heck, I can’t even remember da guys who talks to his invisible homeless friend about da proof is da proofs and it is written on da napkin. 😉

  25. Parents say no to halal school dinners
    A primary school which opted to serve only halal meat at lunch time has been accused of concealing the decision to provide Islamic compliant food from parents.
    The Oxford primary school introduced halal meat to the school dinner menu in September last year as part of their inclusion policy, but failed to inform parents of the move until December. Parents at the school are now petitioning for an end to halal only meals…

  26. ” Trust me, I’m a liberal… ”
    An activist Who Opposes Voter ID Laws Is Registered In Two States!!!
    …One of the individuals used by opponents to the law as an example of how the law hurts older Hoosiers is registered to vote in two states.
    Faye Buis-Ewing, 72, who has been telling the media she is a 50-year resident of Indiana, at one point in the past few years also
    claimed two states as her primary residence and received a homestead exemption on her property taxes in both states.

  27. bluetech: Using penny’s delightful phrase, thanks for thinking of me as a “young person”.
    But alas! when I casually mention to cute young things that I’m an old man, I no longer get corrected and Safeway clerks have taken to asking me if I need help … with a loaf of bread and litre of milk.
    I knew about the CBC “mockumentary” on Stockwell Day and in fact my personal CBC ban dates from that vicious hack-job. I probably read WK pieces but didn’t remember him at all nor did I have any clue WHO he was … until becoming a regular visitor to sda. I’ve never been up on the back-room boys and fervently wish Kate would ban him and even delete comments with references to the slime ball.

  28. The Prime Minister announced today a $1Billion program to help rural industries & Who is first to Complain? None other them Buzz Hargrove.
    Its not enough, The Auto Industry needs the money claims Buzz.
    Imagine That Buzz Complaining
    Another announcement that got slushed in the Media, Stockwell Day has announced that Ontario will recieve $7.7million for Crime Prevention,Youth Crime Prev. programs.
    Police Chiefs are welcomeing this news, as long needed fundings.
    And of course the Official Oppposition has critiqued these announcements as nothing other then Pre Election Goodies.
    And the Liberals should Know all about Pre-Election Paper Napkins Goodies.

  29. Sounds like the lefties have no idea what to do about violence in black area schools. This is today’s results of the Falconer report on safety in Toronto schools after the Manners boy was shot last year.
    “Making Toronto’s schools safe will not be accomplished with metal detectors or security measures but by being “kind and caring.” But the TDSB has neither the cultural nor the financial wherewithal to restore safety and equity in its most vulnerable schools, according to a leaked report on school violence set to be released today.”
    As per normal with Liberals and leftists they always want greater bureaucracies.
    “It also recommends the minister of education strike an implementation task force to oversee recommendations. Further recommendations in the report include:
    . The hiring of 20 new full-time social workers.
    . The province creates a standing educational justice committee.
    . Develop an inclusive curriculum that explores ways to incorporate African-centred perspectives and other forms of cultural knowledge.”
    The black community continues to escalate its social costs far beyond any other cultural group. The staggering amounts spent for policing (rising from 19 to 25.2% of total Toronto budget in 6 years), the justice system, welfare, teachers, coming special schools, crime, illegitimacy, destruction of neighbourhoods and uncontrolled violence as noted in our schools can not be ignored anymore. Seeing what goes on in Africa maybe African-centred perspectives might not a good thing.
    Anyone who rightly complains about this is always slapped with the race card.

  30. The Waterkeeper Alliance and other groups already want much greater restrictions on water use in the semi-arid West. Expect ever more strident pronouncements about “unprecedented droughts” as the Kyoto/AGW scam unravels in other respects, so this study may be of use in the future:
    Estimating the Value of Water-Use Efficiency in the Intermountain West
    …The report evaluates the benefits of Denver Water efficiency programs and uses an exploratory modeling approach to accommodate the significant uncertainty in such estimations. The results of this study suggest that the inclusion of long-run avoided costs and environmental benefits is critical to fully recognizing the value of water-use efficiency programs. The authors find that evaluating only the short-run avoided costs leads to the conclusion that many water-efficiency projects already a part of Denver Water’s 10-year conservation plan are not cost-effective…

  31. Re: delay in delivery of Cyclone helicopters. Seems to me this is a breach of contract (non-performance). These choppers are needed now, not 40 months from now.
    My advice to government is to void the contract with Sikorsky (Cyclone is already obsolete, useless as ASW platform, poor range, and low load capability – and cannot operate in icing conditions).
    Before officially cancelling/voiding contract, Tories should approach EH industries to get firm delivery date of EH 101, the right helicopter that was initially chosen, then cancelled by Chretien, again using our military as political prop to win election in 93.

  32. Regarding the Falconer report on gun violence in Toronto, he said that the problem was city-wide, not just a problem in the northwest of the city “involving the black kids at Jane and Finch”.
    And he’s absolutely correct! It also includes the black kids in the southeast of the city, too…of course, he wouldn’t put it quite that way, would he?

    UK: Abuse of cannabis puts 500 a week in hospital
    The public health impact of the Government’s decision to downgrade cannabis is disclosed today in official figures showing a 50 per cent rise in the number of people requiring medical treatment after using the drug.
    Since cannabis was downgraded from a Class B to a Class C drug, the number of adults being treated in hospitals and clinics in England for its effects has risen to more than 16,500 a year. In addition, the number of children needing medical attention after smoking the drug has risen to more than 9,200.
    Almost 500 adults and children are treated in hospitals and clinics every week for the effects of cannabis.
    Its health toll is revealed in official data compiled by health authorities and obtained by The Daily Telegraph.
    Drug campaigners last night said the figures proved Labour’s decision to reclassify cannabis in January 2004, which made the penalties for its possession less severe, was badly mistaken and had sent out the wrong signals about it being a “soft” drug. …-
