A Trans-Atlantic Trip Turns Kafkaesque.

" I write to request that Your Majesty Commission a Royal Inquiry to investigate what may potentially be criminal activities which influenced Canada’s last election, and that the aim of the Royal Inquiry be to restore Canada to a free and fair democracy. "

The green loon may need her meds adjusted. The above paragraph is part of a letter that Lizzie wrote to the Queen of England.

Good gawd she's an embarrassment.

Hey.That first one I can rent @ 4G a month,and they pay all uitiliies and insurance.Og course,use of the "green" swimmingpooland

Renweables

Hey. I can rent that for 4G amonth,and they pay all taxes,insurance and utilities.This does include the "green"bar,but the " renewable resource bar and niblieies" will cost @250.00 OH.....And the giant windfan on the deck is availabe for a mere $2 Billion /5 mins.

Coincidence or conspiracy? Here is how I see it. If they had gone on strike before the election, Obama would have been DOOMED. By waiting until after the election Obama wins both ways. If he gets re-elected and they go on strike, well, he is still the President, right? If Obama is NOT elected, then this is all Romney's fault. Win/win for Obama.

I hate spiders. Hate. Nightmares.

Thanks EBD...bastard.

Liz is right, y'know. What happened in Saanich-Gulf Islands was a travesty. I'd like to see a royal commission appointed to look into that.

I hope the queen replies in one sentence:

"Dear Ms. May: Democracy means getting your say, not getting your way."

The grentard money from American terror groups had a huge effect in Saanich Gulf Islands. I saw it first hand. I would love a royal commission to dig around the greentard party's anti-canadian activities.

Elizabeth May is a mental midget as are her followers. See if you can pick her out.

Good morning all! Just a reminder: today is World Peace Day!

Some people confuse World Peace Day with the International Day of Peace, but that's an entirely different thing and it's in September.

This Oxfam calendar is nifty.

"Chinese-Owned Company Sues Obama Over Wind Farm Project"

"A Chinese-owned company sued President Barack Obama over his decision to bar its Oregon wind- farm project as a national security risk, claiming the order violates its constitutional rights.

Ralls Corp., a Delaware-based company owned by two executives of China’s biggest machinery manufacturer, added the president yesterday to a lawsuit filed Sept. 12 that challenged a ruling by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S., known as CFIUS, that blocked the deal.

“The physical and regulatory takings of Ralls’s property interests constitute unconstitutional takings in violation of the U.S. Constitution, deprive Ralls of its property interests absent due process, and violate Ralls’s constitutional right to equal protection,” according to the amended complaint."

*Ex-Liberal leader Rae's uncle, c/o Red China.

CBC's concept of "both sides of the Omar Khadr debate" turned out to be should he go to university or community college.

Forgive me, but I thought Elizabeth May was a lawyer. Apparently, I was wrong, for if she was, she would know that:

1. Allegations of criminal activity are investigated by the police, not a Royal Commission.

2. A Royal Commission isn't going to be able to somehow magically fuel-up a sour-grapes losing-side complaint, or litany of complaints, into one or more criminal offences when the complaint(s) doesn't/don't rise to that standard in the first place (her stunt is a pretty clear indication that she realizes she doesn't have much).

3. Making false claims against people can get you sued for liable or slander.

4. The only person from whom Her Majesty will take advice is the prime minister of the day, who is not Ms. May, last time I checked. This is the precisely the same sort of mistake that the opposition made when they tried to put together their "coalition" seven weeks after the 2008 election, which democratically returned a Conservative government.

On the other hand, Tony Blair is a lawyer who can relate to this situation:

"Part of the problem when the Opposition is useless is that the public feel strangely disenfranchised. This was how many Labour people felt during the Thatcher years...We had lost four elections in a row. The system must be faulty, mustn't it? Whereas, of course, we were at fault. So this sense of alienation is not, in fact, reasonable. Actually, it's worse that that; it is profoundly undemocratic. It's the losing side feeling it shouldn't have lost and trying to manufacture a rerun, or change the rules...There was [is] thus a weird disconnection between public opinion as expressed in the polls (and indeed in the result), and the public opinion apparently struggling under the oppression of a government, against whom severe action had to be taken because there was no alternative, since the democratic system was for some reason or other not working as it should."

From, A Journey: My Political Life (2010), p. 322.

So, my advice to Ms. May, the Council of Canadians, etc. is put down your Vancouver island BC bud for a moment and try smoking what Mr. Blair has on offer.

Why would anybody care, other than some lawyers that would like to get the press with their nonsense.
Somebody like Michael Petch, in the comments.

Giving an inch of good will toward the terrorist is too much.

I see that Greece's Golden Dawn have begun appealing to Greek emigres in North America to assist them in their charitable works, keeping the people of the first Christian nation fed in the face of the ongoing Romanianization of Greece. Two branches of Golden Dawn have set up shop abroad, one in New York, one in Montreal.

Golden Dawn Montreal has no public website, but have, or had, a Facebook page. (I don't have FB, so I'll have to leave you to your own devices to go find it.) In any event, at last report they had managed to accumulate about 150 members in Montreal in about a month.

The tolerant left, of course have moved swiftly. Hackers disabled the Golden Dawn New York website within a day (it's still offline). Golden Dawn Montreal has quickly attracted harassment of a pack of French-Canadian "antifascist" thugs styling themselves "Facho-Watch." No word if Golden Dawn Montreal's FB page is still up.

"'Electric Cars Are Far Too Expensive'"

"Electric cars were meant to ensure cleaner cities in Germany, but costs remain high and sales disappointing."

"The German government said last year it wanted to see 1 million electric cars on the road by 2020. But this week it conceded that the goal is probably out of reach. Media commentators argue that battery-powered cars are too expensive and don't have a long enough range to make them attractive to consumers."

"More bikes sold than cars in Italy for first time since WW2"

"For the first time since the end of the Second World War the number of bicycles sold in Italy has overtaken the number of cars."

"In a radical departure for the car-mad country, home to legendary marques such as Fiat, Ferrari and Lamborghini, 1,750,000 bikes were bought in 2011 compared to 1,748,000 motor vehicles.

As austerity cuts deepen and petrol prices hit a new high, the purchase of new cars has dropped to levels not seen since the 1970s.

Families are buying bikes, ditching their second cars and signing up to car pool schemes – a major shift for a nation which has one of the highest car ownership rates in the world, with around 60 cars for every 100 people.

Car ownership became a symbol of the Italian economic miracle in the 1960s and has steadily grown since, but as unemployment rises and living costs soar, it has become an unaffordable luxury for many Italian families.

Petrol recently hit two euros a litre, the highest in Europe, and it is estimated that the average car in Italy costs €7,000 a year to run."

So it turns out the "swing state" poll had a margin of error of 8% because they only "polled" 150 people. This is malicious, it's not bias. There is no more bias in the media, these people are the enemy.

lance @12:03 - you probably shouldn't watch this.

Dick Morris started questioning sample bias last week? Are you kidding me?

Without having checked the data, probably the poll about polls is biased in favour of the Democrats...

Plus this:

Have a look at questions 8 and 9 -- a "new" spin on an old question (as if that hides anything -- sorry, no page numbers published):

Republican Party (favourable/unfavourable): 41/52

Democratic Party (favourable/unfavourable): 45/49

Add the two together (I'd suggest you cross-add) and (surprise, surprise): 90 to 97! And they can only produce a 4 point lead for Obama?

Obama's losing to Romney. No way to hide it.

Of Liberals.

peterj - not to worry! Disarmament Week starts on the 24th.

There's an Obama 2012 billboard on Highway 17 in Victoria en route to the ferry. Anyone else seen an Obama 2012 sign in Canada? I'm not sure there were any in 2008 here in Victoria.
