  2. “Former Vancouver Canucks enforcer Gino Odjick has a rare terminal heart illness, and doctors say he may have as little as a few weeks to live.”

  3. Ezra — as always,brilliant. Nanaimo again. I am so glad he is digging in and not letting this go. It’s not just about narrow minded politically correct bigotry. It is also about freedom of expression. It is astonishing (maybe not) that other media are ignoring the issue. Oops, I guess they had all that Peter MacKay Mothers day greeting to cover. What’s wrong with this picture? When people no longer have freedom of expression, I guess they will figure it out. So pathetic.

  6. wow you people do a good job!
    America is about to find it’s way I think?!

  9. After aboriginal land title ruling, why not protect property rights of all Canadians?
    If we are agreed to constitutionally protect the property rights of some Canadians, why do we shrink from doing the same for others? Recall that the same Constitution that entrenched aboriginal rights, from which we now see derived aboriginal title, declined to protect the right to own property — a right that is also founded in common law, and that is often spelled out in statute, but was deemed unworthy of constitutional entrenchment.
    Suppose, then, a government wishes to put a power line through a particular stretch of land. If the land is subject to aboriginal title, all of the rights the Court has now delineated kick in. But if it is merely someone’s property, no such constitutionally guaranteed rights apply. Now that we have defined and accepted aboriginal title as a constitutional right, is it not time this discrepancy was redressed?

  11. Just wondering if the non native community should start a program of taking back all the things native communities didn’t explicitly ask for.

  12. So Andrew Coyne has finally figured this out.
    This SCOC ruling will make any resource development in British Columbia virtually impossible.
    North America will be buried economically by China and India one ruling at a time, at the federal level, at the provincial level, and in many areas at the municipal level.

  14. I haven’t read the SOCC’s decision – but have a question – Were the land rights/titles defined as fee simple (ownership of property, except as limited by the basic government powers of taxation, law enforcement, eminent domain, etc.) or allodial – absolute ownership of property, thus subject only to the decision by the sovereign?

    “Carbon tax repeal: Hydro Tasmania says it will cut nearly 100 jobs”
    “It said repeal of the carbon tax, uncertainty about the renewable energy target and softening demand forced it to make the cuts”
    “The state-owned renewable energy firm Hydro Tasmania has announced it will cut nearly 100 jobs, blaming the repeal of the carbon tax as a factor in its decision.
    The company, which generates hydro and wind power and is owned by the Tasmanian government, said it will reduce its 1,092-strong workforce by 9% as a result of “financial and market challenges”.”

  17. Mark Steyn on the suggestion from some of his supporters that he set up a 501( c)3 or the like to fund his defense in the Michael Mann defamation lawsuit:
    “…we certainly considered the possibility, and a few years ago I might have entertained the notion. But not anymore. The National Organization for Marriage, which was founded to protect the pre-revisionist definition of marriage, is, in its various arms, both a 501(c)3 and a 501(c)4. As such, its tax returns are publicly available, but not its donor lists. Nevertheless, it is obliged to report its donors on Schedule B to the Internal Revenue Service. Someone at the IRS leaked the donor lists to a man called Matthew Meisel, a gay activist in Boston. Meisel in turn passed it on to the gay group Human Rights Campaign (whose president was a national co-chair of the Obama re-election campaign), and HRC in turn published the list of donors, which was subsequently re-published by The Huffington Post.
    “There’s no secret about why they’d do such a thing. As we know, if you disagree with progressive orthodoxy, you have no right to host a cable-TV home-decor show or give a commencement address at an American university or be a beauty-queen contestant. But that’s not enough for these groups. If you’re not a public figure, if you’re just a Californian who puts up a yard sign or a bumper sticker on Proposition Eight, your car will be keyed and your house defaced. And likewise, if you slip a check in the mail for a modest sum, it is necessary that you also be made an example of. Brandon Eich, Richard Raddon and Scott Eckern all lost prominent positions as chief executives because of their donations. But Marjorie Christoffersen, a 67-year-old Mormon who works in the El Coyote restaurant in Los Angeles, was forced to quit because she wrote a $100 check in support of Proposition Eight.
    “So, when it comes to the leaking of donor lists, we’re not dealing with anything ‘theoretically’ or ‘potentially’ ‘troubling’. These guys act on this information, and act hard, and they are willing to destroy your life for a hundred bucks.”

  19. Ammo Grrlll, writing at Power Line, addresses the accusations of racism coming from those — that would be the Dem/left — who support the invasion on the southern border:

    As a Jewish parent, I see dozens of countries on several continents to which I would never even ACCOMPANY my child, let alone have sent him there without me when he was young. Heck, I wouldn’t even send a Jewish child to Presbyterian summer camp now that their bigoted, leftist crapweasel leadership has passed “divestment.” But that is for another day.

    So either the tedious race-baiters of The Race have to ADMIT that this is one of the few countries on the face of the earth that can be counted on to try to feed and shelter their little ones until this travesty is sorted out; OR, they have to admit that these are horrible parents to deliberately send their children into the belly of a racist beast.

    So is America good, or are brown parents monsters? Pick one. And if they say that the kids are not coming to be Tot-Squatters for Amnesty, but are just desperately fleeing gangs and poverty – right this minute, curiously, after generations of poverty –then, once again, what COLOR are the exploiters and beheading drug dealers in those countries?
