In Louisiana it is illegal to sell and arrange flowers without permission from the government. Aspiring florists must pass a subjective licensing exam that is graded by existing florists, who have a direct incentive to keep new competitors from entering the market. Thus the failure rate is higher than that of the Louisiana bar, which results in hundreds of well-qualified would-be entrepreneurs being denied the ability to work in their chosen profession.

In Texas, all computer-repair technicians must now become private investigators. “If you’re investigating or analyzing data, then you should need a little more credentials than someone who just repairs computers,” the legislative sponsor said. The PI license requires a criminal-justice degree—or a three-year apprenticeship under a licensed private investigator.

Lets do the math. Oil is 35 dollars a barrel. A Liter of gas in Saskatoon is 90 89.9 cents. Big oil was meeting in Calgary last week with the Finance Minister and telling him the low price for a barrel and less demand for their product was hurting there business. Big oil wanted the Taxpayers to help them. Then this week Big Oil increases their price at the pump even though the price of a barrel was going down. How do they explain this? "The price at the pump is really not linked to the price of a barrel, it is what the market will pay". Big Oil then went on to say, "they have to do what is best for their shareholders". i.e. f uck over average Joe.

Big oil needs to be taken to court by some fancy pants lawyer, Tony Merchant, and face a class action law suit on behalf of all Canadians.

"A fond farewell to Bush"
By SALIM MANSUR

" In bidding Bush adieu I am reminded of John Macmurray, a moral philosopher who taught in the middle years of the last century at the University of Edinburgh. In 1949 he spoke at Queen's University in Kingston, Ont., and his lectures were published in a small book titled Conditions of Freedom.

Macmurray asked his audience, "When we profess our faith in freedom we often mean only that we want to be free. What value, what honour is there in such a miserable faith?"

Macmurray answered his own question observing, "To believe in freedom, in any sense worthy of consideration, is to believe in setting other people free. This is to some extent within our power, and it is the greatest service we can render; even if it must be, at times, by the sacrifice of our own."

TORONTO/OTTAWA — Prime Minister Stephen Harper has warned that Ottawa will be forced to run "very significant deficits" in the next few years to pull Canada out of a severe downturn — but a group of leading economists is warning him against wasting borrowed money on short-term measures to spur consumer spending or prop up struggling industries.

Ottawa will need to incur new debt because "we are in a very dangerous time for the world's economy" and the private sector is too scared to spend, Mr. Harper......."

Thanks for making it simple Steve. Y'all are too afraid spend, so, we'll take your tax money and future earnings, and we'll do it for you!

Canada unveils $4.2 billion auto bail-out plan
By Bernard Simon and Daniel Dombey
Published: December 21 2008 13:27

Canada has unveiled a plan to ease pressure on hard-pressed automotive parts suppliers and dealers in tandem with C$4bn in emergency loans to the local subsidiaries of General Motors and Chrysler.

Stephen Harper, the prime minister, said at the weekend that the suppliers would have easier access to credit insurance provided by the Export Development Corporation, a government agency. Ottawa would also set up a new facility to support consumer credit, focused on improved accessibility for car loans and dealer financing.

TORONTO, Jan 16 (Reuters) - Toronto's main stock index was knocked lower late on Friday morning as a slide in the heavyweight financial sector more than offset a rally in the energy and materials groups.

Financial shares , which rose 2 percent early in the session on news that Bank of America (BAC.N: Quote, Profile, Research) will get aid from the U.S. government, were down 2 percent late in the morning as the market judged the bailout was not enough to overshadow signs of more fallout from the credit crisis for the financial sector

People have become ill with anthrax after eating the decaying flesh of animals that had died from the disease. Power was lost to the morgue in the capital city of Harare, leaving the corpses to rot.

More and more people are beginning to wake up to the realization that the war against Israel is a critical front in the Islamic war against all of us, wherever we live.

"Around 100 Italian Parliament members rallied in Rome at the Piazza Montecitorio for Israel."

(gateway)

A friend passed this on--
Fiamma Nirenstein, a journalist and some-time resident of Jerusalem, is a new Member
of the Italian Parliament who is outspoken on Israel's behalf. She writes below that there is increasing understanding of what Israel is facing in its current war.
Dear friends,

We didn't expect what you see now in the picture. This is the square of the Italian Parliament in Rome, Piazza Montecitorio: you can see the Palace on top of the square, and in front a lot of Israeli flags. That was yesterday night from 6,30 to 9,30 pm. What you cannot see here, is the extraordinary number and variety of members of the Parliament, about 100 from all political sides, that took the stage during our marathon: for about three hours we have been speaking about the role of Israel, its right to self defense, its moral height, its fight in name of all of us, of our civilization and values, against the wild hate of the Islamic jihad represented by hamas. It seems to me that for the first time in the too long history of the arab Israeli conflict, apart from a minority of crazy leftists and fascists that took the street on anti-Semitic slogans, we have obtained a huge consensus about one critical point: this is not an episode of a local conflict, there is nothing in it that reminds the land for peace theme that has characterized the Palestinian issue. This is an episode of the attack agains the western world, and Iran has a lot to do with it.
The change of attitude is great: the dictatorial religious nature of Hamas and the democratic, civilized nature of Israel are seen face to face for what they are at least by the European elite at large, dead and wounded notwithstanding, and there rises an identification with Israel against a regime that uses human shields and promises slaughters of Jews in its charter.

What happens today, at least in Italy, is the defeat and fall of the leftist ideologies: ideology has been the fig leaf that has allowed to justify all the most violent crimes and most disgusting verbal attacks. If Arafat launched the terrorist Intifada, if he promoted the martyrdom of children in public speeches, the ideologists were ready to justify him with the issues of occupation, the Palestinian misery and loss of any hope. Not the same with Hamas. History, in Italy, has brought to a profound crisis the ideology of revolution and the justification of any cruel attack against a pretended unjust imperialist order. That time is in good part over, nobody will see Hamas as the resolution of the problem and not as the problem itself. I also think that the word "peace" has lost that healing meaning that it had until yesterday. The new non-ideological point of view sees that there is no peace when one of the contenders doesn't want it, and that even if the world in the short run asks for a truce, in the long run requests a defeat of Hamas.

Well, yesterday night many people, Ministers and Members of Parliament, composed a very new, interesting puzzle of opinions. I think that when you are not overwhelmed by exotic thirdworldism, the images of children educated as hate machines, the speeches of jihad leaders, from Ahmadinejad to Nasrallah, to Hanje, that deny the holocaust and promise death to Jewish and Christians too, have on us a result of great disgust. Westerners, thanks God, can still be disgusted by an uncivilized level of political speech.

But most of all, in the Parliament square, many of the Parliament Members said: "I love Israel". You can't imagine how many.

...........

"this is not an episode of a local conflict, there is nothing in it that reminds the land for peace theme that has characterized the Palestinian issue. This is an episode of the attack against the western world"

Exactly correct.

Yeah, and the reason Clark has Liberal friends in VERY high places is because he's a well-connected Toronto boy: grew up in Rosedale, went to Upper Canada College, his great uncle was Greg Clark, journalist emeritus in the Toronto media so I guess little Tom came by his journalistic career all on his own ... ha! ha!

What a laugh that the Conservatives, supposedly, are the party of privilege and big business! Compared to Tom Clark's silver-spoon existence with connections in high places, PM Steven Harper is a po boy.

Moderate, Harvard educated Muslim destroys irreplaceable historic books in the British Library collection:

According to Fravahr.org:

"Muslim Academic Sliced Out Sections of Priceless Collection"

Harvard-educated Farhad Hakimzadeh, 60, used a Stanley knife to cut out pages, plates and maps from up to 150 historic books. To the untrained eye the damage is barely visible. Yet within the handbound pages of books charting how Europeans travelled to Mesopotamia, Persia and the Mogul empire from the 16th century onwards, the damage caused by one Iranian academic to a priceless British Library collection is irreversible.

Leading scholars at the library are at a loss to explain why Farhad Hakimzadeh, a Harvard-educated businessman and publisher, took a scalpel to the leaves of 150 books that have been in the nation’s collection for centuries. The monetary damage he caused over seven years is in the region of £400,000 but Dr Kristian Jensen, head of the British and early printed collections at the library, said no price could be placed upon the books and maps that he had defaced and stolen.

“These are historic objects which have been damaged forever”, said Jensen. “You cannot undo what he has done and it has compromised a piece of historical evidence which charts the early engagement of Europeans with what we now know as the Middle East and China.”
- - - - - - - - -
“It makes me extremely angry. This is someone who is extremely rich who has damaged and destroyed something that belongs to everybody.”

Hakimzadeh, 60, faces a jail sentence today when he appears at Wood Green magistrates court in London. The Muslim, Iranian-born academic left his country after the fall of the Shah and holds a US passport. He has pleaded guilty to 14 specimen charges of stealing maps, pages and illustrations from 10 books at the British Library and four from the Bodleian Library in Oxford dating back to 1998.

Dr. Jensen is mystified as to why Mr. Hakimzadeh would do so such a thing. But the last paragraph of the article sheds some light on a possible motivation for his historical vandalism:

Hakimzadeh was the CEO of UK charity Iran Heritage Foundation (IHF). IHF is believed to be a Para vent for propaganda activities of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

.............

I guess the Muslims aren't satisfied yet with their destruction of all things unIslamic, like the library at Alexandria, for instance.

It's simply the continuity of the systematic destruction, embedded in the teaching of Mohammad, since the start of Islam for the elimination of all visible symbols of the Judeo-Christian roots of civilization, as well as all historical and modern Western cultural symbols identified with that civilization.

But where in the trilogy does it instruct Muslims to do this?

Here's one place

Ishaq:587 "Our onslaught will not be a weak faltering affair. We shall fight as long as we live. We will fight until you turn to Islam, humbly seeking refuge. We will fight not caring whom we meet. We will fight whether we destroy ancient holdings or newly gotten gains. We have mutilated every opponent. We have driven them violently before us at the command of Allah and Islam. We will fight until our religion is established. And we will plunder them, for they must suffer disgrace."

They come into your country, set up stronghold muslim-only zones, implement shariah and violently agitate for separation. And we think we've got a problem with Quebec?

"Moderate" Muslim Ahmed Marcouch Wants Muslims Only District Of Amsterdam"

(islammonitor.org)

January 12, 2009

Marcouch will 'Muslim district ' Amsterdam

Politician Ahmed Marcouch has plans to set up a 'city in itself' outside the ring of Amsterdam. In that district a 'flourishing Muslim community' should develop.
The Amsterdam district council chairman wrote that in an internal letter to other district council chairmen in Amsterdam-West. The PvdA - lawmaker took advantage of an ongoing discussion to shrink some districts in Amsterdam, reports De Pers.

In place of a district Marcouch wants to see a "super -district', a city unto itself: New West. 'There a flourishing Muslim community can develop with sufficient social capital.The Muslim minority is a plus point. There is a clear difference between west inside the ring and the west outside the ring' writes Marcouch.

Opponents

Not everyone is happy with the plan of Marcouch." If he means to say that he wants to strengthen the Muslim community, or that he wants to create a specific Muslim district in Amsterdam I would find that very unfortunate. In a secular society the law makers may not be led by their belief" finds VVD House member and intergration spokesman Paul de Krom.

His PvdA colleague Jeroen Dijsselbloem says he doesn't understand what Marcouch means.'Muslim communities form themselves around mosques not around the borders of a city'
Clyde Moerlie, an old PvdA member is indignant over the letter. 'A very remarkable statement. But it passes well within his thinking. I dont see much in that one sideded walhalla that Marcouch wants to put in place. Maybe a district where female civil servants don't have to shake hands with Islamic lessons in the public schools. We thought that we at the PvdA were members of a secular party, but Marcouch sees it above all as his obligation as a good Muslim to spread Islam'.

I kike the idea of "muslim only" districts. It makes it much easier to keep "civilian" casualties at a minimum, once the Canadian Jihad really gets rolling.

Oops, Freudian slip. That should read "I like the idea"
