Well, there is a reason for that and that is….
I do hope someone publicly points this out when they protest en masse “for the children”.
Thank you for the link to The Seekers. It was like a door to my childhood when Georgy Girl and Downtown were sung by those marvellous female voices. It is great to note that some of them are still very much with us. Perhaps soon we could have a song in honour of one who has passed on but was also one of the best, Karen Carpenter. Thanks again, John.
Tired? Depressed? Politically exhausted? Need a laugh??

“Snow Falls Weeks Early In Munich! …Meteorologist: “Winter Strikes Unusually Early And Severely”!”
“Meteorologists warned us that snow was on the way and would fall below the 500 m elevation in southern Germany and elsewhere. Moreover, they warned us that this winter could be one of the worst in 100 years for Central Europe.
No one knows if it’s really going to be such a winter, but one thing is sure: it sure is starting out like one! At least in parts of Central Europe.”

“Egypt: Canadians Loubani, Greyson leave for home; refuse to talk to Canadian media before flight”

“More on those burdens on the Canadian taxpayer, John Greyson and Tarek Loubani”
“The fact that Peto is one of Greyson and Loubani’s most ardent supporters, and that she shares their beliefs is significant.
At a sparsely attended rally at Ryerson University earlier this week that drew more media than spectators, Peto was one of the people tied in with the organizers, including Greyson’s sister Cecilia and Ryerson “Social Justice” professor Winnie Ng. It was unusual for Peto to be front and center at such an event recently. Prior to late 2010, she was at the forefront of Canada’s anti-Israel fanaticism, but the exposure of an anti-Semitic thesis she wrote for the University of Toronto’s Ontario Institute for Studies in Education made her an embarrassment to them.
The thesis, which was both facile and laughably absent of actual research even brought the academic standards University of Toronto into disrepute. Essentially, her thesis, which paralleled the sort of writing one can find from neo-Nazi authors, asserted that Jews are privileged racists who use the Holocaust to perpetuate the myth of their own victimhood while advancing the cause of an “oppressive” Zionist Jewish state.
The anti-Semitism of her thesis was condemned by, among others, Ontario Liberal Cabinet Minister Dr. Eric Hoskins, who is not a right-wing reactionary by anyone’s standards.”

“Anti-turbine activists taking protest to Hwy. 402 for mass rally Saturday”
“The road to Ontario’s wind turbine industry — heralded by many, hated by others — goes through Southwestern Ontario.
Now, anti-turbine activists plan to grind traffic to a halt on a stretch of one of the region’s busiest highways, Hwy. 402, with a mass rally next Saturday as they ratchet up their protest against Ontario’s growing number of wind farms.
“We can’t take this anymore — we won’t take this anymore,” vowed Esther Wrightman, an anti-turbine activist and member of the Middlesex-Lambton Wind Action Group.
Organizers are asking people to bring their tractors, pickup trucks, front-end loaders and signs to the protest that’s expected to start in the morning at the 402’s Forest on-ramp and continue to Strathroy.”
