Meanwhile, Harper and Mackay continue to support, and increase, the Libya mission.

What is going on in their brains??? Why is Canada engaged in this?

I know no one who strongly supports this mission, and those that come closest are idiotic liberals who think we are actually going to help make Libya a better place.

Aaaghh! This is no less frustrating than having Chretien as PM!

AEP says it will close five coal plants to comply with EPA regs

“These reasonable steps taken under the Clean Air Act will reduce harmful air pollution, including mercury, arsenic and other toxic pollution, and as a result protect our families, particularly children,” EPA said in a statement.

In a statement outlining its plan to comply with EPA's regulations, AEP said it would need to retire 6,000 megawatts of coal-fired power generation in the coming years.

Sorry about that, Tim. Now corrected!

Roddy McCorley, no offence intended Robert, but I think EBD might approve.

ET, I think you missed with the G&M stats last night, I think it's the population in the riding, not the votes.

No URL in 'Reader Tips'?   Don't you find that Humorous?

By 2014 the US economy will be nearing 3rd world status and then they can put a coal fired generating plant on line like china does on a weekly basis. Hopefully the EPA will be tossed out along with Obama next year.

Thanks Robert, + or - a few laughs...

I love the google guitar!!!!

You can see what others have recorded on the Google guitar by guessing the shortened URL.

Here's a random guess I made that actually turned up something that wasn't too bad!

Interesting article. The part that Andrew Lawton got wrong is that spyware was installed on the computers when the campaign office was set up - Peter Goldring captured every keystroke on computers by his campaign volunteers. Including every password when his volunteers signed onto accounts to do personal business.

Thank you Robert, it is a heck of a story.

Seriously, what is wrong with this guy?

I'm embarrassed over what Obama does. Say's one thing, does another. Takes wrong stance 90% of the time.

Bruce - great video, thanks.

Obama lives in a 'virtual world'. That's one where all that exists ..are words. He has no ability to connect to objective reality and I suggest, fears that reality as he's aware that he can't control it. His psychological need is: to control others.

This means that he has removed himself from direct interactions with the objective reality of the world..and lives only in his words. He's become very skilled at emotional rhetoric and manipulation. If Obama comes across any event or person who is not won over by His Words - then, for Obama, that event, that person..no longer exists. Utterly disappears.

Add this isolation from reality to his embedded socialist and anti-western upbringing...and there you have Obama.
So, he has a deep antipathy and even hatred for the West. That includes the US and Britain.

This 'mixed up psyche' means that he does contradictory things. When he's in Britain, his agenda is to overpower them, put them in his control, win them over. So - he talks on and on about the 'special bond and relationship'.

Then, two minutes later, when he's no longer engaged in 'winning them over'..his other deep emotions of anti-West and anti-Britain move in. So, he's malicious and hostile to them.

Obama's malice is also linked to his need to control. If he feels that he has won Britain over by his rhetoric, then, he 'needs'..and I mean needs..to kick them, Show them that they are nothing. He'll do that repeatedly. It makes him feel that not only he has charmed them with his rhetoric but he is actively showing them that He is In Control.

He's a pathological sociopath; his clinical narcissism, empowered by his faux role as 'president' has made him very, very sick. Notice how, more and more, he ignores Congress. More lies, more 'misinformation', more threats, and..more golf and parties.

"Canada adds 22,300 jobs"

"The Canadian economy created 22,300 jobs last month, as increases in the private sector and self employment outweighed losses in the public sector.

The country's unemployment rate unexpectedly fell to 7.4 per cent in May from 7.6 per cent a month earlier as fewer people looked for work, Statistics Canada said Friday. The modest gains mean employment levels have now grown by 273,000 over the past year."

Just another skirmish in a much larger battle.

SP’s targeting is, at its deepest and most vicious level, a product of the fact that she’s a devout Christian. It’s the same reason that GWB was considered to be stupid. (It’s also a major reason for the clumping together of modern liberals and Islamists.)

The ruling class of secular-humanist, leftist intellectuals is convinced that it has, in science, discovered the keys to the kingdom and, by extension, that the kingdom itself is really all about stuff. To believe otherwise is considered beyond ignorant.

Anyone or anything that disagrees with that take must be destroyed, whether it’s prioritizing life and morality, believing in American Exceptionalism, or even a historical monument to dead white guys or our Biblical traditions.

I don’t think we’ve seen anything yet in terms of the emotional and physical wreckage that will be wrought when it begins to dawn on them that their world view is going down the tubes."

Anti-Harper protest will snarl traffic: police
Demonstrators will march through Ottawa late Friday afternoon

CBC News Posted: Jun 10, 2011 11:16 AM ET Last Updated: Jun 10, 2011 11:16 AM ET Back to accessibility links
A march by people protesting against Prime Minister Stephen Harper's speech at the Conservative Party's national convention will cause major disruptions for Ottawa commuter traffic late Friday afternoon, police said.

The demonstrators plan a rally at 4:30 p.m. at Dundonald Park with speeches by the former parliamentary page, Brigette dePape, and by the president of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers, Denis Lemelin.

From there they plan to march through the downtown core to arrive at the Ottawa Convention Centre by 6:30 p.m.

"More than 40 community organizations from Ottawa, Montreal, Toronto, Kingston and Vancouver have endorsed the march," according to organizer Pete Blais.

"We invite all those opposed to Stephen Harper's right-wing agenda to join us," he said.

IMO: I guess all the yrs that i have put up with Liberal crap i was doing it all wrong, i should have been protesting at Liberal Conventions. Not waiting for the next election to Vote my displeasure and try to defeat them in a Election.

I see you've been roundly ignored!
I'm with you on this, old Lori. I also heard that Canada intends to have 7 permanent military installations overseas. Ah, but, we are assured, each with only a few soldiers.

Harper, I believe, is a neo-con, which I think is also evidenced by his very strong, unflinching support for Israel, which position I loudly and heartily endorse, as does the great Caroline Glick who recently said: GO HARPER GO.

BUT clearly, Canada's role in this monstrously stupid Libyan adventure is creepy.
I'm guessing this is a updated version of our famed boyscoutism.

"'I'm a Marxist:' Dalai Lama

Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama said Thursday that he is a Marxist, yet credits capitalism for bringing new freedoms to the communist country that exiled him -- China.

"Still I am a Marxist," the exiled Tibetan Buddhist leader said in New York, where he arrived with an entourage of robed monks and a heavy security detail to give a series of paid public lectures.

Marxism has "moral ethics, whereas capitalism is only how to make profits," the Dalai Lama, 74, said.

However, he credited China's embrace of market economics for breaking communism's grip over the world's most populous country and forcing the ruling Communist Party to "represent all sorts of classes.""

"Sarnia-Lambton landowners and farmers, our heart goes out to all of you.

First mistake, dealing with dalton and his followers.

Second mistake understanding now, Ontario Tax Payers will NEVER give you any money back. (ONTARIO IS BROKE and so is Sarnia-Lambton landowners and farmers )"

"Solar investors feel burned"

"SARNIA - Frustrated Sarnia-Lambton landowners and farmers who invested in small solar energy projects want to know when they'll be able to connect to the grid.

"We need to get the ball rolling as a group," said Todd Case, mayor of Warwick Township, which organized a meeting Thursday for project participants.

Officials from Hydro One and the Ontario Power Authority were invited but declined to participate.

Warwick residents, like many in Sarnia-Lambton, invested in MicroFit panels with plans of selling their excess power generation, but were told by Hydro One there's no room for them on the grid.

Case, along with MPP Maria Van Bommel and other township officials, met with Ontario Energy Minister Brad Duguid on March 30, and the minister said improving electricity transmission capacity in eastern Lambton County was an "absolute priority" for Ontario.

"We haven't seen many results since then," Case said."

bryanr; There is an updated story on the silly page and her freinds.

CBC has declared that hundreds have shown up. Well,actually 2, maybe three hundred,counting reporters and their crews.

The most pathetic part of the story ,IMHO .is that the president and chief negotiator of the postal union is there giving a speech. He is involved in negotiating with the gov't. His workers are very anxious about their future. So he takes time off to poke the gov't in the eye. What a twit.

Just watched the anthems at Vancouver for game 5. I can't believe they had to use a mountie wearing a turban to hold the flag!
