Mizzou Campus Activists and Black Lives Matter Complain About Paris Stealing the Spotlight

PJ Media: Horrific video shows attack in progress on Bataclan concert hall.

Re: Tuba Skinny and Keyhole Blues. Thanks EBD--a break from all the bad news!

Prediction: despite Hollande's tough talk, nothing meaningful will happen. The man is a coward, and a socialist. Just like his lily-livered equivalent in the UK, David Cameron, a man who calls himself a conservative, don't make me laugh.

Europe is done. Cooked like turkey dinner. It's game over. They have lost any serious will to fight, and they have allowed leftist ideas and political correctness to slowly ruin them like a cancer. They have fallen for the leftist doctrine that everything about the traditional West is evil, that white males are the source of all ills, that multiculturalism is wonderful thing.

Remember that video posted on this fine blog a few days ago of Germans cheering the arrival of Syrian terrorists, a.k.a. refugees, arriving at train stations. That tells you everything you need to know.

Goodbye Europe, rest in peace.

While I accept that quite a few OPEC countries are backing ISIL (are you; listening there gulf states?) I think the Ecologist is taking conspiracy a bit far here:

But we must also ask: Why Paris? And why now?

Yes, France has been especially active in its air strikes against ISIS in Syria. And yes, there there is a huge reservoir of discontent among the socially excluded youth of the banlieue, the concrete jungle of impoverished outer suburbs that surround Paris and other big cities - where ISIS can perhaps find willing recruits to its ranks.

But is that all? In just a few weeks time, the COP21 climate conference will take place, in Paris, the biggest such event since COP15 in Copenhagen six years ago. The event offers the world a desperately needed opportunity to reduce its carbon emissions and limit global warming to 2C.

Stolen from internet elsewhere...
Let's organize a boycott of Islamic countries... oh wait, they don't produce anything.

Just watched Funny Face with Audrey Hepburn and Fred Astaire. Beautiful scenes of Paris and Givency gowns to die for. Pour changer les idees (escapism).
Did I mention lots of Gershwin songs?

I enjoyed that tune. Some nice traditional New Orleans jazz, played on the street in the French Quarter. Many of the early jazz bands used a tuba for the bass line because the tuba was louder, and easier to record with the accoustic recording machines of the day. When electronic recording became the norm, many bands began using the string bass instead.

One of those days.
Good friend, staunch liberal, told me that voting Liberal this time was because politicians are like diapers, you need to change them regularly.
Except in this case we retrieved the old crusted diaper and put it in power.

Not sure where the baby is in this case but the current government sure looks inept.
Just not ready, does not even come close.
Brain dead stoner with zero accomplishments might have been a better description.

What the hell was wrong with the conservative attack room?
Those were not attack adds this last election, they were faint praise.

Separation may not be apolitical tool, it may self defence.

When our leaders both fail to defend the nation and actively impede the citizen from defending themselves, at what point do you stop and identify them as the enemy?
The media party are already actively supporting the Jihad.

So shortest honeymoon ever?
Because it is 2015.

Obama earns another pinnocio lies about Keystone and climate change

Saturday, Nov. 14, National (Financial) Post, Jamie Golombek. An old evil might pop up again. Not that it definitely will, but there are no legal obstacles.

http://business.financialpost.com/personal-finance/will-justin-trudeaus-tax-changes-be-retroactive-dont-rule-it-out

JG: "... a decade ago, the Supreme Court of Canada concluded that 'retrospectivity and retroactivity do not generally engage constitutional concerns' and that 'there is no requirement of legislative prospectivity embodied in the rule of law or in any provision of our Constitution'."

This was the 2005 ruling on B.C.'s tobacco legislation.

JG: "In a 2013 paper discussing retroactive tax legislation, law professors Catherine Brown of the University of Calgary and Arthur Cockfield of Queen’s University stated that the 'main rationale for opposing retroactive laws (is) that they change the rules of the game after the game has been played'."

If you play a board game with a friend and you win, and after the fact the friend decides to claim different rules so that he won, you'd just think him a jerk and move on. But our courts hold the liberty and the property of every Canadian in their hands. For the highest court of the land to declare that the government can change the rules of the game after it's been played is a shocking abdication of responsibility and a slap in the face of the entire concept of justice. And that 2005 judgment was written by Justice John Major, who was usually the strongest defender of individual rights on the Supreme Court of Canada.

Chief Justice Beverly McLachlin has a habit of mouthing off periodically about various legal topics and notions, including so-called "unwritten" principles. In the infamous and unethical 2011 InSite judgment, the Court conjured up out of thin air a "right" to have taxpayers pay for measures to mitigate potentially harmful activities indulged in while breaking the law. But meanwhile, the possibility that the government may tomorrow pass a law making something illegal that you did today while it was legal, does not offend the rule of law or any provision of the Constitution.

What a disgrace.

There have been many other dubious judgments from the McLachlin court:

In Cooper v. Hobart, 2001, the Court decided that regulatory agencies do not owe any particular competence to the regulated, but instead to "the people of Canada". The fact that the only people in Canada who might have an interest in any specific matter are the regulated, escaped the Court.

In Advance Cutting and Coring, 2001, the Court trampled all over the Charter right of freedom of association, interpreting it narrowly even though it is supposed to (and usually claims it does) interpret them broadly. It also maintained the fiction scribbled by Wicked Bertha Wilson a decade earlier that "freedom of association does not include the right not to associate". Women beware: The Supreme Court made Canada a stalker's paradise.

In Bell ExpressVu v. Can-Am, 2002, the Court explicitly refused to invoke the Charter right to freedom of the media while banning so-called "grey market" television receivers.

In Harper, 2004, and again in Bryan, 2007, the Court rejected freedom of expression during election campaigns by invoking a fictional "egalitarian model" of elections rather than the proper "free and fair" model.

In Kapp, 2008, the Court approved "reverse racism" while attempting to bypass the Charter section (15.1) that would see it required to decide that a piece of legislation was discriminatory before moving on to the section (15.2) that would allow it anyway.

In Lipson. 2009, the Court approved the so-called "General Anti-Avoidance Principles" in tax legislation rather than telling Parliament: You made the law complex, you fix it.

In S.L. v. Commission scolaire des Chênes, 2012, the Court held that "exposure" to various religious beliefs of a captive audience of children in a manner determined by the state rather than by the parents is not a violation of the Charter right to freedom of religion in Section 2.

In Reference re Supreme Court Act, ss. 5 and 6, 2014, the Court contradicted itself by claiming it would read the two sections together then clearly did not do so (see para. 71), with the exception of one dissenting judge. These very shabby shenanigans reveal an unfitness to sit on the bench, where people's lives and lifestyles are in the balance.

There are other decisions that make one's blood boil, but for which the Court most likely is not the party at fault: Blencoe, 2000, in which the excesses of the "human rights commission" kangaroo courts were upheld due to an error in the construction of the Charter, Authorson, 2003, in which government was able to confiscate moneys held in trust for disabled veterans because it pre-dated the Charter, Chatterjee, 2009, which upheld certain aspects of civil forfeiture, and Whatcott, 2013, which was consistent with precedent on the excesses of "hate speech" at the HRCs.

Massive anti-government protest in South Korea:

"Over 130K workers, farmers, students and ordinary citizens, some with children and family members, joined a peaceful and massive rally in Seoul on November 14.

Police used tear gas and capsaicin-laced (pepper spray) in water cannons against demonstrators demanding the resignation of conservative President Park Geun-hye.

The rally, organized by the Korean Confederation of Trade Union KCTU was planned for over a year. It was a deliberate, planned, organized, legal, legitimate and peaceful rally against labor reforms and state-issued history textbooks.

Police officers had strategically parked busses to prevent access to the roads leading to the presidential Blue House, the destination of the massive march. Officers also tried, to arrest KCTU president Han Sang-goon while he was speaking, but Members of KCTU managed to block the attempted arrest.

The blocking of the march route and attempted arrest of KCTU president Han Sang-goon escalated the massive demonstration into a violent confrontation."

"I'm flying to Paris right now. Here's why.

I’m writing this note from Gate A51 of the Montreal airport. I’m about to get on a flight to Paris, France.

That might strike you as a rash thing to do, the day after Muslim terrorists launched five attacks around that city, murdering at least 129 people and injuring 352.

I won’t lie — it wasn’t an easy decision, especially when my young kids asked me if I’ll be safe “from villains”.

But the truth is, we’re not safe now, even in Canada. We’ve had terrorist attacks in our country too — just last year, a Muslim terrorist murdered Corporal Nathan Cirillo at the National War Memorial, and stormed his way into Parliament, in a hail of bullets. It seems like every month police stop another terrorist attack just in the nick of time, whether it’s the plot to blow up VIA Rail, or the CN Tower, or the legislature in Victoria, B.C. And we know that dozens of Canadian Muslims have gone to Syria and Iraq to join the Islamic State’s terrorist army over there."

"We need to know the truth about terrorism and the risks of mass Muslim migration. And we need to understand the inevitable logic that if we don’t change the path we’re on, we’re likely to end up where we’re going.

And I fear that will look like Paris.

Ezra Levant

P.S. I’ll have updates every day. I don’t know exactly what I will see in Paris; but I think it’s fair to say I’ll show you things that you simply won’t find on the other news media. They are too busy excusing terrorism to do their jobs as reporters.

P.P.S. We’ve created a special e-mail list to send you regular updates from Paris. You can sign up here."

I'm feeling rather guilty for criticizing our new PM. Why? Well I kinda meant to sit back and watch, give him time, not treat him like the media and others treated Stephen Harper. I'm still going to try to curb it because apparently he's being mobbed by people wanting selfies on his first global stint. We may not realize what a celebrity we have. I wonder if he sings or plays guitar like Paul Martin?

Time for a Canada wide internet poll.

Question: ''Do you believe the Liberal government is jeopardizing Canada's safety by admitting 25,000 Syrian refugees into Canada?

I expect Ezra's reports will jibe with those of the mainstream media. But I'm not so sure they'll jive. Ezra's not exactly a jitterbug type, is he now?

O'narcissist.

"Obama arrives late for ‘moment of silence’ for Paris attacks"

"Reporters traveling with the president said Mr. Obama had not yet arrived when other world leaders at the G-20 conference in Turkey began their silent observance around a large conference table.

Mr. Obama walked in after they had begun, and took his place next to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan."
