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."

Good god. I had to click the link just to make sure it wasn't satire, or a joke.
Re: Soviet singers.
That's quite a bit different than what we were taught in school or in the movie Doctor Zhivago. No grey uniforms??
Even in pop music the Soviets copied or stole from the Americans.

Grover Norquist details the dire need for US immigration reform.
QFTs: "Historically, opposition to immigration in the United States has been racially and religiously motivated in the ugliest, nastiest way possible," says Grover Norquis
We have a 55 mile-an-hour speed limit immigration policy, when the cars on the roads are built for 75 and 80. When we had the 55 mile-an-hour speed limit under Carter, we didn't run around saying: "We must enforce the law first. Before we consider changing the speed limit, we should imprison everybody who was involved in speeding." That's silly. You say: "You change the stupid law, and then you enforce it."

Oh, my. Mayor Rob Ford makes Ace's blog
It's depressing how the left piled on the guy, but that animated gif is hilarious, and so are some of the comments ("Mayor Chris Farley").

The APA has reclassified Pedophilia from a sexual disorder to a sexual orientation.
What's next???
The Ontario Socialist State of Avarice has decreed that all trades-people must register with a fictitious College of Trades that does nothing but collect $600 a year. It is a tax on trade people. Way to boost the economy eh?
That is an idiotic analogy by norquist, but i will go with it:
Thus he recommends letting the speed on a road through a school zone or a parking lot with lots of pedestrians be what ever the will of the drivers is.
Of course there is a better solution:
A speed bump.
In the instance of immigration that would take the form of a wall the entire length of the border modeled upon that between the West Bank and Israel.

"The Man Who Made Sea-Level Rise Go Away"
"MOREHEAD CITY, N.C. - John Droz Jr. is not the stereotypical back-room political player: A tall and trim 67, bespectacled with a shorn scalp, he's a man who prefers sweater vests and jeans rather than crisp suits and bears more resemblance to a retired high-school science teacher than a political heavyweight.
Yet this semi-retired real-estate investor and self-described environmental advocate spends much of his time quietly and effectively plying the halls of power in Raleigh, N.C., deflecting credit and avoiding the spotlight.
"This isn't about me," he offered, repeatedly.
What it's about, however, is Droz' outsized role in shaping science's influence on public policy—on climate change, sea-level rise, the advantages of renewable energy over fossil fuels. His work has rippled far beyond Raleigh's 1960s-era State Legislative Building and into the national debate on how to respond to warnings raised by climate scientists."

Some sad news.
My front page headline yesterday read" Chretien says he had the good sense not to appoint Duffy to the Senate".
Quick thoughts of Lavigne and Harb ran through my head before I realized Alzheimers is so prevalent today.
In fact, so prevalent in the media, there oughta be a dedicated fundraiser.

Artsy fartsy fabulous far left has many friends in high places.. Chipping away at what used to be childhood..
The writing was on the wall the moment social studies, politics and environmentalism opened the door for them..
Political climate change we can do without..
Take a look for yourself http://www.apa.org/ and tell me the person inside the child is their only concern.. Another small minded sand bagged leftist brothel.. More interested in licking their own political rear end than providing quality mental health care for the masses..
God help you if your stupid enough to trust them.. Drugged up, dumbed down and twice as broken as you were before.. They call this cured..
HALLOWEEN SCARE: FAST AND FURIOUS RISES FROM THE GRAVE
"Left-wing activists and officials within President Barack Obama’s Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), part of Attorney General Eric Holder’s Department of Justice (DOJ), attempted this week to reframe Operation Fast and Furious as a problem with America’s gun laws."

So-called snivel servants aren't sniveling anymore.
A speed bump.
In the instance of immigration that would take the form of a wall the entire length of the border modeled upon that between the West Bank and Israel.
No wrong. Walls =/= bumps. America already has a wall of beauracracy. What they need is 'speed bump' beauracracy ie a single form to fill out and tests for TB and dangerous highly infectious diseases like it. Treating Mexico like the West Bank is the kind of moronism I would expect from an ignorant economically illiterate nativist.

Neo-AGW Progress Report.
Wherein "top eco-varmints/Red-Green experts" embrace nuclear.
The excuse for their apostasy? the Quartet "urges a crucial discussion on the role of nuclear power in fighting climate change."
...-
"Top US climate scientists support development of safe nuclear power"
"Open letter to environmentalists and world leaders says wind and solar power are not enough to diminish carbon emissions"
"The letter signers are James Hansen, a former top NASA scientist; Ken Caldeira, of the Carnegie Institution; Kerry Emanuel, of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology; and Tom Wigley, of the University of Adelaide in Australia.
Environmentalists agree that global warming is a threat to ecosystems and humans, but many oppose nuclear power and believe that new forms of renewable energy will be able to power the world within the next few decades. That isn't realistic, the letter said."

While the blogosphere assures itself that AGW/CC is a dead issue, CTV and the rest of the MSM are continuing to propagandize on behalf of the "Nobel Prize Winning IPCC".
And reaches millions of viewers instead of a few thousand political junkies.
Red-Green's "four top guns" and Lynas throw wind/solar under the bus.
"Wait -- pro-nuclear environmentalists? Isn't that an oxymoron? Apparently, not so much anymore."
Hansen goes all HOG: "Parts of the community operate like "a religion of sorts, which makes it very difficult," Hansen said. "They're not all objectively looking at the pros and cons."
"In the documentary, which debuts on CNN Thursday at 9 p.m. ET/PT, climate change activist and author Mark Lynas says he knew publicly supporting nuclear energy would put his entire career at risk. "I'd have been much better just to keep my mouth shut," he admits in the film. "But I couldn't do that."

"Climate change warriors: It's time to go nuclear"
"By releasing the letter, the scientists are "putting their reputations on the line to do something that the ultra-greens regard as treason," said Stanford University Nobel-winning physicist Burton Richter."
"We've got four top guns in the environmental movement telling [German Chancellor] Angela Merkel, 'You're wrong to shut down nuclear,'" said Richter. "I think that's a relatively big deal."
