Why this blog?
Until this moment
I have been forced
to listen while media
and politicians alike
have told me
"what Canadians think".
In all that time they
never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."

Southey is another airhead columnist who can safely be ignored. I know, because I do exactly that 99% of the time.
Ezra is right: his crime was doing the real reporting.
Yeah, Toots Tabby is another reason to ignore the Mop and Pail, as it quickly descends to Red Star status. Just more effete "Toronto is the center of the universe" schlock and spin.
Just wish the Egyptians had held on to the two (lovers?) longer. BTW, did the Muzzies know he was gay? Maybe they need a do-over...........
Sadly, and once again I am surrounded by people who fell for the media party message.
When Kate said she was forced to listen to media telling her 'what Canadians think' she forgot to mention there are too many Canadians that allow the media to tell them what to think.
Way to go Ezra!!
Cross posted at Blazing Cat Fur:
Latest news on these jerks [Gregson and Loubani]: There is still an ongoing investigation of these two, so even though they're enjoying their stay in a hotel and they're no longer in jail, the Egyptian authorities aren't letting them go just yet. When they arrived at the airport on Sunday to take a flight to Frankfurt, Egyptian
officials told them their names were on a travel ban list.
" ... CBC reported Monday that Egypt’s foreign ministry may not allow the pair to leave until the investigation into all possible charges against the 600 protesters they were arrested with is completed."
http://www.ottawasun.com/2013/...
This could be a long wait.
'Couldn't happen to a nicer pair.
And, BTW, good on ya', Ezra: one of the only genuine investigative reporters in Canada.
Kate once powned Tabby so bad I've denied her existence until now to avoid the embarrassed uncomfortability...
No doubt she knows how.
Good for Ezra for exposing the foul mouth of this terrorist loving scumbages.
Seriously though, this group is using the Palestinians as convenient pawns in their real effort which is to destroy liberal democracy and with it capitalism.
Love it!!! It's columns like these that make me want to beg Telus again to include Sun TV on my channel line up. When are we going to get access here in Calgary? I'm going to print Ezra's column and post it at work.
Last post before bedtime: What's with the progressives (sic) and the F-word? They all pretend to be so avant-garde and with it and yet this particular epithet is epidemic within their ranks and it's bor-ing.
Obscenties are the last refuge of the inarticulate.
A hard left biased, self absorbed, incestuous, slow witted, downtown TO mediocrity.
The "Main Stream Mediaocrity" again covered themselves with bull crap while blowing
air kisses at each other.
"for they know not what they do" However, that is no reason to forgive them. It will all come to blows eventually, (especially in the USA) then we will see a separation of the emotional and real.
Go Ezra ... what she said to you tell me that her stomach is burning and you lit the fire.
It makes you really wonder just how much propaganda and other crap have been fed to Canadians over the years by "journalists" who are nothing more than left wing activists. If ever there was a reason for an outlet like Sun TV, this once again demonstrates that need.
Ezra exposes them for the fraud artists they really are.
Switch to Shaw.
Free Kenneth Bae.
Let these fruitcakes and the Greenpeace bunch rot in other countries where they can expect a ritual pounding en route to the gruel line each morning.
Does anyone remember Zehra Kazemi?
It rang a bell but I had forgotten the details. Lucky for them and too bad for us that they weren't in Iran.

People read Tabatha Southey? I did. Two columns. A second time just in case the first one had been a really bad day for her. The second was just as bad.
A 'society' columnist?
I'll be damned. You know I could never figure out what that chicken headed idiot was trying to say.
Hey - has anyone else noticed that budgie chit doesn't stick to the Glob newspaper anymore? Is that supposed to be an improvement?
has anyone else noticed that budgie chit doesn't stick to the Glob newspaper anymore?
Apparently they use a better grade of newsprint. The words printed on it haven't improved though. At least at the Star the bias and the looney is front and center. At the Globe the stupidity just sort of seeps and oozes from its pages.
"Switch to Shaw"
Good advice. And when making the switch, be sure to let Telus and Shaw know the exact reason for the change.
Journalist from TO. Check
Spouts all the approved media talking points. Check
Hates Sunnews. Check.
Ladies and gents, I present to you the next candidate for Justin's Pot Party.
The investigative journalist is on the endangered species list. The vast majority of journalists today take the spin from their 'sources' and report it as news because it would require far too much effort to track down any information on their own.
I,too, was moved to tears when I heard the two heroes were released from jail, but not for the reasons Tabitha cried in her beer.
Tears of outrage is more accurate,because I figured we'd never find out their true purpose for bringing those camera-equipped mini-copters into Egypt.
But,they aren't completely out of the mire just yet! I hope the Egyptian authorities can interrogate them in a humane and professional Muslim manner,and find out the real goal of their venture.
These two gentlemen may have very well been involved in aiding terrorist organizations,and if so, should be prepared to face the consequences,in Egypt.
If they find the worst case scenario,will they still be favourites of the Toronto media crowd?
Undoubtedly.
Donna Lafromboise and Christie Blatchford are two Toronto media types I admire.
Donna as a hard-nosed investigative journalist who was instrumental in the overturning of the wrongful conviction, for murder, of Guy Paul Morin. And Christie for pioneering female sports reporting while at the G&M - covering hockey.
Sorry...Laframboise
One of the best things about instant social media .... the twits who reveal themselves.
If they ever make it back to Canada,they should be met by CSIS.
The criminal code of Canada:
83.03 Every one who, directly or indirectly, collects property, provides or invites a person to provide, or makes available property or financial or other related services
(a) intending that they be used, or knowing that they will be used, in whole or in part, for the purpose of facilitating or carrying out any terrorist activity, or for the purpose of benefiting any person who is facilitating or carrying out such an activity, or
(b) knowing that, in whole or part, they will be used by or will benefit a terrorist group,
is guilty of an indictable offence and is liable to imprisonment for a term of not more than 10 years.

If the cameras and/or remote-copters were bought in Canada and transported by them to Eygpt with the intent to eventually hand them over to the Hamas gov't,I think that a strong case could be made to charge them under the above law.

Oh is Sun TV still on the air?
