Women take up arms on both sides of conflict in east Ukraine

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/reuters/article-2785170/Women-arms-sides-conflict-east-Ukraine.html

It's interesting to see how two major media outlets report a story.

A: National Post: http://news.nationalpost.com/2014/10/08/b-c-woman-says-she-was-rejected-for-job-because-shes-christian-as-company-manager-says-her-religion-offends-norse-culture/

B: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/trinity-western-grad-s-prejudice-claim-rebuffed-by-tourism-company-1.2793114

What is even more interesting is why a foreign company from Norway is dictating to Canadians who should--and shouldn't be working as guides!

There is a myth out there that the divorce rate is close to 50%. Shaunti Feldhahn found some startling and encouraging things in the research for her new book, The Good News About Marriage.

Colorado Governor says he will release mass murderer if not re-elected.

That was a very pleasant musical selection EBD. I hope you feel inclined to put up a bit more classical music again from time to time - at least one of us here likes it, perhaps there are others too.

Irwin Cotler, a proud man, a proud Jew .
My principled abstention from the ISIL vote;
http://irwincotler.liberal.ca/ It is below his lengthy rant on the Supreme Court nominee.

He is neither,he is a Liberal to the core.

The fool doesn't have the parts to stand up against terrorists that would kill every Jew with glee. He abstained from the vote.

This may save his reputation with other liberal Jews.
It may keep him in JT's good books for the duration of his political career.
But his explanation is reprehensible,it is not principled.

I think his moil took everything instead of just the foreskin.

How the CBC operates!!

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/tanya-tagaq-says-she-was-sexually-targeted-by-man-in-winnipeg-1.2793123

Tanya Tagaq is a talented young native singer who was waking on the street in downtown Winnipeg when a man followed her, called her a ''sexy little Indian,'' and then asked her to ''F*&+''
Not a nice way to treat a lady, but it was downtown Winnipeg.

In her interview with CBC, she said: "I wish I was a six foot tall, 400-pound man so that I could serve him what he deserved, and that's a punch in the face," she said.

This was my comment on CBC.Ca that was deleted by the leftist network.

''In Manitoba, isn't *assault against the law?? Question: If a man was walking on the street in downtown Winnipeg and a young woman had approached him and asked him if he wanted to F*&%$, would this story be in the news??'' (End of comment.)

*By assault, I meant wanting to punch someone in the face.

I've walked in the downtown area of many cities and been asked by ladies of the nite if I wanted to ''F"$&.'' Trust me when I tell you that the CBC (or any other leftist media) have never asked me for an interview on the matter.

It appears there are two sets of rules at the CBC. One for the guys, and one for the girls!

Another southern racist: http://pjmedia.com/eddriscoll/2014/10/08/jimmy-carter-racism-straight-up/

We have stopped the performance of the German Requiem in St Louis:

Watch us, the hell we will rise.

" But all those who are fighting the Islamic State militants are currently the lesser evil. And it's essential that the Americans continue with their air strikes."

" After all, both Assad and the West fear and are fighting the jihadists."

http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/interview-with-michael-ignatieff-on-islamic-state-and-mideast-turmoil-a-990667.html

This interview is from last month. The current Canadian controversy had yet to raise its head. However,Mr.Ignatieff shows that he is way ahead of JT when it comes to global security.

Iggy prefers the 'raw power/search and destroy'option.

JT wants to give hot meals and hugs to the survivors, maybe get their opinion on resource extraction and 'equality of opportunity'.

Where Justin Trudeau wins the best Planned Parenthood door prize ever... http://www.ipolitics.ca/2014/10/08/in-the-city-planned-parenthood-fundraiser-draws-big-laughs-trudeau/

The Fraser versus the Broadbent Institute, not a fair fight, but the warmists don't care if the IPCC report (not the juiced up summary policymakers) contradicts them:

http://business.financialpost.com/2014/10/08/guy-at-broadbent-institute-is-pretty-sure-he-rebutted-report-he-hasnt-read/

"Last week I released a study through the Fraser Institute called “Climate Policy Implications of the Hiatus in Global Warming.” As the title implies, it is a study about climate policy. In a nutshell, I point out that the economic models used to generate climate policy plans are calibrated to match climate models, not climate data, and the models have been diverging from the data for the past two decades. This translates into inaccuracies in the policy model parameters that have not been adequately addressed.

If global warming had been progressing faster than climate model projections for two decades, lots of people — including people at the Broadbent Institute — would demand a policy response. They would point out that the models aren’t keeping up with the pace of the crisis and we need to take stronger action. And it would be a valid point worth discussing. The shoe is on the other foot, but the same logic applies.

Policy plans are based on models that, on the face of it, have overstated the impact of greenhouse gases on the climate. There is no mechanism for the economic models to assimilate climate data directly, instead they assimilate the output of climate models, and thus likely overstate the social costs of carbon dioxide emissions."

Bad day for Shiny Pony...Globe & Mail comments on his performance.

Canada to place quarantine officers at six airports to screen for Ebola
http://news.nationalpost.com/2014/10/09/canada-to-place-quarantine-officers-at-six-airports-to-screen-for-ebola/

Plane cabin cleaners strike over Ebola at La Guardia Airport;
200 workers say concerned about unsafe working conditions
http://online.wsj.com/articles/plane-cabin-cleaners-strike-over-ebola-at-la-guardia-airport-1412864868

Not agreeing with our government's allowing people to fly to and from North Africa where ebola is raging. Taking all passenger's temperatures on arrival just doesn't cut it given it's incubation period. One would think common sense would be to stop all travel to and from affected areas.This has the potential to become a world wide epidemic, we have no vaccine or treatment at this point.

bumper sticker;

today's problems will not be solved by the minds that created them......

Not my invention, but it sums up Obomber's mix of open borders, ObomberCare and ebola:

EBOLACARE!

Seems the media doesn't care for certain political parties using their news reporting for their political advertising.
Seems they believe its their intellectual property and subject to copyright laws.

No problem.
