Nearly 200 Muslim workers have been fired from their jobs at Cargill's meat-packing plant after walking out in a dispute over accommodating prayer in the workplace.

Hearing the rumour that the conservative dominated senate will block Leisuresuit Larry's replacement of our first past the post system if he doesn't allow a referendum.
There is irony in the fact that the only way Leisuresuit Larry can stop this is to allow the senators he kicked out of the liberal caucus back into caucus and appoint more. But then that would demonstrate his stated reason for doing it was a useless superficial act that didn't fix anything.

Gee, wonder what word salad the guy will be offering to keep from admitting to fix something you have to actually say what you intend to do and how it actually fixes the problem.

Paul Martin we hardly knew ye.

From the, it's probably nothing file - "Nigel Farage fears he has been the victim of an assassination attempt after his car was sabotaged, causing a terrifying motorway crash.

The Ukip leader careered off a French road after a wheel on his Volvo came loose while he was driving from Brussels back to his home in Kent.

When the police arrived at the scene, they told him that the nuts on all of the wheels had been deliberately unscrewed, The Mail on Sunday has established."

"... temperatures begin to fall there is a definite sign that this El Niño is starting to weaken, and right on schedule."

"El Niño peaks, but hangs in as major player for Winter 2016"

"Anyone keeping a close eye on the behaviour of this year's intense El Niño, and especially how it has been developing in comparison to the 1997-1998 "super" El Niño, very likely took notice of an important trend over the past 90 days.

Specifically, that temperatures in the central equatorial Pacific Ocean - what forecasters call the Niño 3.4 region - were beginning to drop slightly after reaching a peak in mid-November."

50,000 ducks die in fire at Brome Lake Ducks near Racine, Quebec. The site says they are 'raised naturally' but that doesn't mean they weren't all crammed into a building with never a chance to swim of course.

I highly DOUBT that Cargil is preparing all their meat products in conformance with Halal requirements ... so why are these "devout" Muslims working there ? Looks like a prefabricated CAIR action to force de facto Sharia law upon our country.

Chicago is even worse than I realized:

--But in Chiraq, the devil is a Democrat. Chicago Democrats are closely entangled with its 68,000 gang members who deliver the votes and the money. There are more gang members in Chicago than people of English ancestry. That makes them a powerful voting bloc. And Democrats bow to their wishes.

A Latin Kings member described how the vote organizing worked. “Every chapter had to vote for that guy… That was a direct order. That means you can’t say no.” Under the Dems, that’s Chicago democracy.

Chicago Democrats ritualistically demand gun control, but carefully avoid cracking down on their own political base. Obama calls for “common sense solutions” after every shooting, but like a good Chicago Democrat he voted against a 1999 bill to try anyone carrying out a shooting in school as an adult. Under Obama, Federal gun-crime prosecutions in Chicago have became as rare as honest Chicago Democrats.--

"Another Liberal boondoggle in the making"

"It’s a bit late in the season to be quoting A Christmas Carol, but Charles Dickens’ classic is what leaps to mind when you take a look at the proposed Ontario Retirement Pension Plan (ORPP).

The $1-billion eHealth boondoggle, the gas plant scandal and the Ornge air ambulance fiasco are shadows of screw-ups past. The Sudbury byelection is an ongoing spectre of a bungled present.

And the ghost of disasters yet to come? I offer you Exhibit A — the ORPP — a boondoggle in the making. Despite warnings from business that this will force cutbacks, the government is obstinately pushing ahead with it."

There's a fair bit of msm reportage concerning recent events in Oregon,

Fox:
Armed protesters, including three sons of a Nevada rancher who battled with the government in 2014, vowed to occupy a federal building in Oregon for “as long as it takes,” as state and federal officials on Sunday sought to defuse the situation.

The protesters took over a federal wildlife refuge in a remote area near Burns, some 280 miles east of Portland, to protest the prosecution of a father and son facing jail time on an arson charge for burning 130 acres of land. Prosecutors said the fire was set to hide poaching, but the ranchers, who face five years in prison, and the protesters supporting them say it was set to stop invasive plants.

"We will be here as long as it takes," said Ammon Bundy, a spokesman for the group and the son of Cliven Bundy, a Nevada rancher who clashed with the feds two years ago.

"We have no intentions of using force upon anyone, (but) if force is used against us, we would defend ourselves,"

and some background information here:

The short summary is: in an effort to draw attention to a ridiculous arrest of a father and son pair of Oregon Ranchers (“Dwight Lincoln Hammond, Jr., 73, and his son, Steven Dwight Hammond, 46,) who are scheduled to begin five year prison sentences (turning themselves in tomorrow January 4th 2016), three brothers from the Cliven Bundy family and approximately 100/150 (and growing) heavily armed militia (former U.S. service members) have taken control of Malheur Wildlife Refuge Headquarters in the wildlife reserve. They are prepared to stay there indefinitely.

The Justine government whips out its BigJet and smites Mohammed.

"Why aren't we talking more about the kind of humanitarian aid that Canada can and must be engaged in, rather than trying to whip out our CF-18s and show them how big they are?" (huffpo)
