  1. * Reality Czech *
    Vaclav Klaus has just been relected President of the Czech Republic, one plank being Kyoto is more dangerous to freedom than Communism was/is.
    Amazing, how, in my life time, I have seen the threat move from behind the Iron Curtain to Nashville Tennessee and Oak Lake Manitoba.

  2. Must watch tv..following QP today,the big weasel Mark Holland,opened up a ‘sh*t-storm’ crying about getting ‘threatning letter’ re;his allegations about John Baird.He read out section of it,whining that Baird’s lawyer is trying to intimidate him to ‘shut him up.’He also read out some rules of Parlimentary Priviledge,figuring his a** was covered.But,the lawsuit was about comments he had made on CTV..outside the House!Man,Peter Van Loan came back,and scorched his whiny a** big time,gave long speech about the Lib.tactics of smearing innocent people,ruining people’s reputations,hurting innocent family members..really handed the baby his a**! It was awesome! Best part tho,was Milliken basically telling Marky Mark he was on his own in this one!
    Holland was up in QP again today,accusing Baird of interfering in criminal investigation..have to wait and see how brave he will be if Newman gets him on to ask about this!Comartin got in little dig about the Libs and income-trust thing as well.

  3. Ignatieff was persuaded to give up his pretige educational position in the US, This was accomplished with the promise of future leader of the party. This is on the horizen as not happening, With the bombing of Dion & the soon to be MP Rae officially joining the ranks. I have been saying for years that the liberals have been infiltrated by too many NDP of which are far more socialistic in views then the liberals of old. The NDP cannot form the Government so infiltrate where they have a chance at forming the Gov’t. Ignatieff will not fit into this scenario as he is too centre, closer to Conservatism. So what will happen when the hammer comes down on Dion, Rae will most likely become the new leader. But where will this leave Ignatieff, He will Either go back to the education feild or I think there is a strong possibility that he would consider crossing the floor. He will not sit idlely by to be dropped as the leader.

  5. Watched QP today too, Sammy,the Libs looked PATHETIC.
    I got a bit excited when Comartin mentioned the Liberals and Income Trusts. It’s got to be revisited, there’s a real story there to be aired.
    May have to put a seat belt on Goodale’s stool to keep him from jerking off it.
    “Marky Mark”, love it, so apropos.

  6. Paraphrase from YouTube interview:
    “I remember saying 25 years ago — there are probably more true Marxists at the University of Berkley California than in all the country of Czechoslovakia.” Vaclav Klaus
    He goes on to say (paraphrase)
    [that some of those running for prez of USA today are more extreem in their socialist beliefs than in the USSR/EB. They are using the old line — this time it will be better, made to work.
    Can it Vaclav ?? Never, ever. Impossible.]
    Sorta sounds like a ‘been-there, done that’ kinda thing 🙂

  7. Linda L: “I felt rather sorry for him [Ignatieff on MDL] because I believe he is more of a policy type.”
    It may be tempting to feel sorry for Ignatieff, seeing as he left a prestigious position at Harvard to sit in Parliament, shoulder-to-shoulder, with some of the sorriest political specimans Canada has ever produced, but egad: He bumped the legitmately elected Librano nominee in the Etobicoke-Lakeshore riding where he was elected.
    I find it difficult to feel sorry for anyone who bypasses a legitimate political process, like winning a nomination, by being parachuted into the position. He stole the last election from the guy who won the nomination, who had lived in Etobicoke-Lakeshore for years, and who knew his constituents. The Librano$ parachute hand-picked, high-profile candidates into ridings all the time, and I think it stinks. I wonder what they offered the riding, to get Ignatieff elected? Power in the HOC?
    Well, he who laughs last, laughs the longest.
    Maybe the legitimate Librano candidate in that riding is thanking his lucky stars that he doesn’t have to waste his time propping up little Dion’s “leadership,” the way Ignatieff has to–and on TV, to add insult to injury.

  8. If Ignatieff was smart–and he’s obviously got a lot of academic credentials–he’d call it a day in Canadian politics and go back to Harvard. He’d have his tail between his legs, to be sure, but at least he’d have a tail.
    Staying with the Librano$ does not confer any prestige upon him. And being their leader would be a dubious distinction. Look at the mess he’d first have to clean up before he could even look at the possibility of being PM.
    Pride goes before a fall. I think Mr. Ignatieff’s hopes were way too high.

  9. In my mind’s eye, I picture a legal letter pasted to Mark Holland’s forehead… and him still being quite able to see beneath it.

  10. For the ever popular “More pavilions at folkfest… ” thread here at SDA:
    ———————-
    LONDON – Britain investigated 400 cases of forced marriages last year and is also looking into whether some girls who have vanished from school registers were taken out of schools to be married against their will, officials said Tuesday.
    It’s not against British law to force someone into marriage, but the practice often involves criminal offences including abuse, assault, rape, kidnapping and murder.
    […]
    The Commons Home Affairs Select Committee also said it has been investigating areas in Britain such as Bradford, where 33 youths – most of them girls – remain unaccounted for.

    When The Ice Worms Nest Again
    There’s a husky, dusky maiden in the Arctic
    And she waits for me but it is not in vain,
    For some day I’ll put my mukluks on and ask her
    If she’ll wed me when the ice worms nest again.
    (Attributed to Robert Service; recorded by Montana Slim, aka Wilf Carter).

  14. I just caught a news story that ‘Mary-Ann’who used to reside on Gilligan’s Island has been convicted of various drug charges. Her defense was that the four partially smoked mariguana cigarettes found in her car belonged to someone else. I believe her. In fact,I’d bet a coconut radio that either the tart ‘Ginger’,or even more likely the hip ‘professor’,left them in her car… I don’t have a link but her real name is Dawn Wells,google away.

  15. If it’s a chest cold, I swear by Wampole’s, Kate.
    You’ve most likely seen this, but hope it brings a chuckle.
    THE ANT AND THE GRASSHOPPER!
    CLASSIC VERSION
    The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks he’s a fool, and laughs and dances and plays the summer away. Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed. The shivering grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold. THE END
    THE CANADIAN VERSION
    The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks he’s a fool, and laughs and dances and plays the summer away. Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed. So far, so good, eh?
    The shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others less fortunate, like him, are cold and starving.
    The CBC shows up to provide live coverage of the shivering grasshopper, with cuts to a video of the ant in his comfortable warm home with a table laden with food. Canadians are stunned that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so while others have plenty.
    The NDP, the CAW and the Coalition Against Poverty demonstrate in front of the ant’s house. The CBC, interrupting an Inuit cultural festival special from Nunavut with breaking news, broadcasts them singing, ‘We Shall Overcome.’
    Jack Layton rants in an interview with Mike Duffy that the ant has gotten rich off the backs of grasshoppers, and calls for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his ‘fair share’.
    In response to polls, the Liberal Government drafts the Economic Equity and Grasshopper Anti-Discrimination Act, retroactive to the beginning of the summer.
    The ant’s taxes are reassessed, and he is also fined for failing to hire grasshoppers as helpers. Without enough money to pay both the fine and his newly imposed retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the government.
    The ant moves to the US , and starts a successful agribiz company. The CBC later shows the now fat grasshopper finishing up the last of the ant’s food, though spring is still months away, while the government house he is in, which just happens to be the ant’s old house, crumbles around him because he hasn’t bothered to maintain it.
    Inadequate government funding is bl amed, Bob Rae is appointed to head a commission of enquiry that will cost $10,000,000.
    The grasshopper is soon dead of a drug overdose.
    The abandoned house is taken over by a gang of immigrant spiders, praised by the government for enriching Canada ‘s multicultural diversity, who promptly set up a marijuana grow op and terrorize the community.

  17. Mouthy Mark Holland has been obsessed with John Baird and has been trying to tar him with interfering with Ottawa Municipal politics. He yapped outside the house and has been served papers.
    Of course he cried foul, poor baby’s being stifled and intimidated so had a big sob story to Mr. Speaker who had little sympathy for his plight.
    The Member for Ottawa South, David McGuinty has an obsession with Baird as well so when Marky was crying foul he was constantly imitating a bobble head. Davie is a lawyer, he should know better, so much for lawyers. I’ve seen more maturity among grade sixers.

  19. The Mohawks of Kahnawake say these laws do not apply to them since they are a sovereign nation. They also cite section 35 of the Constitution, which was inserted to protect native culture. The Mohawks say that gaming has been central to their culture as a means of settling disputes through competition, not violence.
    yeah we know how they played that game with Brebeuf, lets see how fast we can eat your fingers and then light the dance fantastic over a fire.
