“Get thee to a nunnery…GO!”

Karla Homolka will be leaving the big house shortly. So when I saw this (courtesy NealeNews), I must confess that I was gobsmacked:

Anna Campagna, executive director of Centre Generation Emploi in Montreal, agreed self-employment may be Homolka's best bet but she saw one other opportunity for the killer.

A Buddhist or Catholic religious community might offer the protection and forgiveness someone like Homolka will need to live, Campagna said.

"Being cloistered with nuns could be a very good option," Campagna said.

Wow. How’s that for progressive thinking?

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Self-employment? If she is smart, she would hire a ghost-writer; then, the serial rights would come into play; then CBC will do a 25-part canonization run, en farncais, aussi; then, she will be in the running for the best documentary award; then, she will appear on oprea; then she will make Hoorrowwood movies in filmnoir... then an opera will be staged/funded by Opera Canada...

but, but, the nuns have to balk first.... will they balk? They are into the wind-up... here's the pitch by the bleeding hearts...

NewsMax has learned that Edward Klein, the author of the controversial new book about Hillary Clinton will break his silence this Tuesday in exclusive interviews with Sean Hannity. The highly anticipated book that has outraged Hillary Clinton and her closest friends will be officially released that day. Klein's first interview will be on Hannity's nationally syndicated ABC Radio Network show - heard over 400 stations. Later Tuesday night, Klein will again be interviewed by Hannity on Fox News Channel's "Hannity & Colmes" program. Expect fireworks from Hillary friend and Hannity co-host Alan Colmes. The book is so hot it has..

"Being cloistered with nuns could be a very good option."

I've heard nuns are evil, but I don't think they're THAT evil.

I'd recommend reading the many, many comments found on this Canada.com/National Post site...Readers were asked to give their opinions of Stephen Harper's proposed "make-over". Quite disturbing to realize how Canadians'opinions are manipulated by misinformation...How can Canadians who care about a healthier country support Stephen Harper and his Conservatives and aid them in promoting their real message on things that should matter?

http://www.canada.com/national/nationalpost/soundoff/view.html?id=e3fa0940-47f6-445c-b043-5ea57d3e1bf5&soundoff=233094&dest=http%3a%2f%2fwww.canada.com%2fnational%2fnationalpost%2fsoundoff%2fstory.html%3fid%3de3fa0940-47f6-445c-b043-5ea57d3e1bf5

Hmmm...when I just re-read my post of 3:33 I realize it read as though I don't support Stephen Harper et al. I really meant to ask if there is a better means for Conservatives to show support, since the media doesn't help. What vehicles are there for Canadians to learn more about Conservatives and register support? (blogs, reading the CRC website, writing to media outlets, joining the CRC, "educating" friends and family verbally, signing petitions, volunteering in the ridings, etc.) I'm sure Stephen Harper would appreciate receiving emails/letters with support and/or suggestions. It must be incredibly debilitating at times to be judged by the media...considering he's being criticized for standing for many of the things many Canadians subscribe to?

Remember all those who were predicting gloom and doom because of Bush's "reckless" tax cuts? Well here are the highlights of the impending doom:

* Federal tax revenues surged in the first eight months of this fiscal year by $187 billion. This represents a 15.4% rise in federal tax receipts over 2004.

* Individual and corporate income tax receipts have exploded like a cap let off a geyser, up 30% in the two years since the tax cut. Once again, tax rate cuts have created a virtuous chain reaction of higher economic growth, more jobs, higher corporate profits, and finally more tax receipts.

* the Dow is up 24% since May 2003 while the Nasdaq has risen 39%. Dan Clifton of the American Shareholder Association estimates that this rise in stock values has translated into roughly $3 trillion in added wealth holdings of American households.

* spending on capital purchases up an enormous 22% since 2003.

Now think back exactly one year ago when we had Paul Martin saying that tax cuts were "draconian". Would someone please explain to me again why this man is Prime Minister?

Thanks to Tim R. for his info on the positive effects of Dubya's tax relief efforts. Again, here's some info I haven't gleaned from the MSM, either in Canuckistan or the US. At least I noticed no headlines relating to it.

If indeed the info is correct, it is one more example of proof that tax cuts work. They work all over the planet, so why not in the Great White North?

Paulie M. is wrong again... truth is: NOT cutting taxes is draconian! Taxes are maintained at such lofty levels by Paulie et al. so as to maintain their billions in wasteful spending that only serves to keep them in power by buying votes and kickbacks for the Libranos.

We must replace these bums, eliminate the billions in wasted tax dollars, cut taxes and see overall revenues rise due to economic stimulus (barring worldwide recession or, heaven forbid, a terrorist or nuke attack) and then pay down some debt and make long-critically-required-investments-refused-by-Libs.

The alternative is more of the same frustrating Liberal nonsense.

Martin has ambitious agenda for meeting

NIAGARA-ON-THE-LAKE, Ont. (CP) - The European Union may be having internal troubles, but Canada and the EU work so well together they reached agreements on issues ranging from security to the environment, Prime Minister Paul Martin said Sunday

Librano$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ and Eurorats. Egad...

Taxes, and more taxes!!!!!!!!

Screaminmginging...

The suckup CP, aka Canadian Press, aka the Communist Press....

The MSM communicates the Truth to the masses on behalf of the AdScam Martin regime.

What are the consequences of this propaganda?
How many Canadians will challenge this BS? Only those with an IQ of over 100; i.e., 3% of the population.

Bloggers/commenters: Fight on. Debunk the Socialist cant, the platitudes, the jargon. Get the message out to the public.

Down with AdScam Martin & the Eurorats.

The Globe and CP release this on Sunday afternoon in the middle of the U.S Open. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20050619.waudit0619/BNStory/National/

Maz2, I would suggest that blogging is only the beginning.

Later on, I believe it will be necessary for there to be a kind of overhaul of the MSM. Relax, people, nothing draconian or undemocratic, unlike what happened beginning in the early nineties following the fall on the USSR and the Berlin Wall. What happened is that the MSM was taken over by leftists, helped along by the Clinton/Chretien regimes, unbeknownst to so many for so long. Now there's no doubt about the bias of the MSM.

What we need is some kind of legislation spelling out new regulations for the media in terms of hiring and reporting etc. For example, there would be consequences for a show of bias over time in which the media outlet would be hauled before a sort of tribunal or commission and forced to justify its behavior. Perhaps it would lead to the dismissal of the top leadership of said outlet for ordering reporters to "toe the line" against the truth and against the public interest.

Wait! I think already there is something like that, except it is, in my humble view, fascist: the CRTC. That agency scares the hell out of me, what with their Maoistic dictating of content and unilaterally deeming which outlets may and may not operate in Canada. It is far, far beyond what is reasonably, justifiably required to regulate the media in the interests of the people.

In a nutshell, what we need is COMMON SENSE in this and in all areas pertaining to government and the fundamental interests of the common people. Democracy should be a key much more than it is now.

Say what you will folks, nothing in my view will change insofar as MSM and the left wing Liberal love-in bias is concerned in Canada. FOX news is now seen in Canada, therefore a Canadian FOX ( or equivalent) is essential to change the mindset of our home-grown MSM to fairness in political discourse and coverage.
I would urge conservative bloggers to pursue that course with FOX.
The Nat. Post is not where it is for us.

TimR's post is important, not so much because it illustrates the drag effect of the Liberals' tax and spend ideology, but because it makes the Tories' near silence on tax cuts absolutely deafening.

This country is ready for tax relief. Federal spending is exploding while take-home pay is dead in the water. If the Tories can't exploit this they don't deserve to be elected.

And as a footnote, remember Mike Harris and his ''vicious'' tax cuts? Well, government revenues -- and spending -- subsequently hit a record. That's what happens when you stimulate an economy, rather than smother it with a million programs, rules and regulations.

Wake up, HArper and Solberg. It's time to stp mimicking the Liberals spending promises and offer a clear alternative.

Admire your work Kate. I'm up here in Saskatoon and I share your rage on numerous topics. What I've decided to do, instead of afirmation, preaching to the converted, posts here,is to become a thorn in the side of the Libs and the dippers. rabble.ca is my first case study. If you have any faves you love to hate, let us know so we can provide some other opinions. Cheers.

Heather Mallick AND Judy Rebick. YUM.

You got it. If you are going to effect change, you have to carry a debate and then suffer the wrath as unlikeminded opinions enter in. Change comes about by hanging in. Cheers. Been there done that on numerous occasions. It's how I've helped build a milti-billion $ in this province.

Sunday evening musings:

- Why can't the market fix the MSM. Fox news is burying the competition but no reform has come. If an ABC, CBS, what have you, were to move in a different direction, ie towards the Fox model, there would be much pining and keening amongst the chattering classes. But for all that angst and anguish, I'd bet dollars to donuts that those same people would want the turncoat's stocks in there portfolio.

- The Blue Jays need more offence.

- Coyne article on Saturday was of interest. He bemoaned the sorry state of Canadian broadcasting due to the interference of the CRTC and the Can. content regulations. Here's a thought. Why not awards for Can. Con. Cons. Them who regardless of their absence of talent, have made millions due to can con regulations. Heres a start: Mathew Good.

- The Conservitives message should be simple. The Liberals, for all there infinite wisdom, and all the evidence to the contrary, can't make your life a heaven on earth. The only one who can do that is you. We want to help you make the life of you and yours better. No grand social experimentation, no noble but toothless stands on issues beyond our grasp, no flighty high minded ventures which are not thought out. Simply put good governance.

- The Blue Jays need more offence.

- If we are agreed that patonage is a bad thing, and I'm sure the Liberals would agree in the pages of the papers, isn't it best to remove the temptation. How much less would there be if, for example, there was an elected senate.

If you are going to raise some dust in your garage, consider wearing a particle mask, ( for Hantavirus)- can't afford to lose you, Kate....

I repeat. Why was this story released on a Sunday and makes no appearance in the Globe's internet paper today:

Ottawa — Improper commissions paid on government funds? Federal money siphoned off to middlemen?

No, it's not the Gomery inquiry. Industry Canada has ordered a massive audit into $490 million in handouts to dozens of technology firms to determine whether any tax dollars were misused.

The investigation into the 58 projects got under way last August, just before the Gomery commission began public hearings — but unlike Gomery, the audit remains shrouded in secrecy.

Before anyone takes this the wrong way this is gentle ribbing...

Well the latest IPSOS REID Poll is out, but before you go blaming Ontario again the Liberals are ahead in BC and in Manitobia AND Saskatchewan....only in Alberta does the CPC hold any lead.

I guess my fellow Ontarions arent the only supporters of corruption, it seems to be breaking out country wide...;->

OTTAWA — Improper commissions paid on government funds? Federal money siphoned off to middlemen?

No, it's not the Gomery inquiry. Industry Canada has ordered a massive audit into $490-million in handouts to dozens of technology firms to determine whether any tax dollars were misused.

The investigation into the 58 projects got under way last August, just before the Gomery commission began public hearings — but unlike Gomery, the audit remains shrouded in secrecy.

Industry Canada hired an accounting firm, Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton, to examine the books of 47 companies receiving money from Technology Partnerships Canada, a multibillion-dollar fund to promote research and development.

Advertisements

Accountants were asked to determine whether any of these firms gave commissions to lobbyists who may have helped secure them the cash. Industry Canada rules forbid taxpayer dollars going to middlemen as commissions or contingency fees.

The department has already uncovered four cases where a lobbyist received a total of more than $2-million in forbidden commissions. Three of the offending firms were publicly traded British Columbia companies that were required by securities regulators to disclose the problems; the fourth is an as-yet unidentified privately owned company.

Industry Canada hired a forensic auditor last spring to investigate the four firms, and says it has since arranged to recover the missing money, which amounted to a 15 per cent finder's fee for the lobbyist. The department has refused to disclose details, but says the funding agreements with the four have since resumed.

Fearful that the practice was widespread, the department broadened its investigation to a so-called "second phase," which included a random sampling of the program's 673 approved projects.

Fifty-eight projects were picked, involving 47 firms receiving $490-million from the fund. The fund has committed a total of $2.7-billion so far, so the sampling represents a hefty 18 per cent of the entire portfolio.

But months later, the Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton investigation remains incomplete — and there's no word on when it will produce a report.

"It is too premature to talk about preliminary findings," said fund spokesman Bruce Stuart, citing "the complexity of the process and the fact that we are dealing with a number of individual audits, all at varying stages of completion."

Industry Canada has not suspended any agreements or withheld any money so far, Stuart added.

But the potential problems are considered so serious, the department has established a special committee to oversee the work of the outside accountants "given the need to rapidly take action," says an internal document obtained under the Access to Information Act.

Technology Partnerships Canada has been dogged by controversy since its founding in 1996 to promote innovation in aerospace, automotive, defence and high-tech companies.

The government has contended that the seed money it provides to technology projects will be paid back — up to twice over, in some cases — in the form of royalties based on commercial success.

But as of January, only $95-million of the $2-billion paid out since the fund opened shop has been returned. Critics have charged that the program is nothing but a giant subsidy fund for Liberal-favoured corporations, such as Bombardier and Pratt and Whitney Canada.

Industry Minister David Emerson has said the fund will be overhauled to end "elephant deals" and will pour more money into smaller firms.

Technology Partnerships Canada will also aim for "fulsome" disclosure of how tax dollars are being spent, Emerson told a conference in February.

Stuart declined to provide any findings so far from the latest investigation, saying only that "we remain committed to the highest standards of due diligence in all aspects of TPC's operations, and will address issues when and if warranted."

Stephen - please provide your source for proof of such "corruption" and also the proof that Liberals support corruption. I don't think this site can support so many libel suits, not to mention the utter profundity of your comments.

"I guess my fellow Ontarions arent the only supporters of corruption, it seems to be breaking out country wide...;->"

Congratulations Mr. Harper for being the first politician to ensure that Canada's social majority gets the NDP budget it deserves!
Keep up the good work - american style politics do work in Canada YAY!

'Priest in PM's riding praying against him
By ALEXANDER PANETTA

OTTAWA (CP) - A parish priest in Paul Martin's riding says he's praying the prime minister will lose his seat in the next federal election because he's doing the devil's bidding on same-sex marriage.

Rev. Francis Geremia delivered his message in a fiery sermon during a Roman Catholic wedding mass over the weekend in Montreal.

In a telephone interview Monday with The Canadian Press, the priest described himself as a former Liberal who has shifted his political allegiance in spectacular fashion.

He's now working against Martin's party - and seeking help from a celestial ally.

"He has to be very careful because he might even lose his riding," Geremia said from Montreal.

"I pray that he will lose his riding. Because you cannot have two faces: either you serve God or you serve the devil."

The priest said he's glad he wasn't around on a day earlier this year when Martin attended mass in Geremia's Montreal church.

He said Martin no longer deserves the sacrament of communion because of Bill C-38 - the federal same-sex marriage legislation.

The prime minister is a practising Roman Catholic, attends weekly services and is MP for LaSalle-Emard, which includes Geremia's St. John Bosco church in the city's Ville Emard district.

In a radio interview Monday, the prime minister explained how public figures can walk the line between public policy and personal faith.

"I'm actually a very strong Roman Catholic," he told Vancouver's CKNW radio station.

"But I'm also a legislator, and I believe that clearly what I've got to do is take the widest perspective possible.

"And that perspective leads me to believe that the Charter of Rights . . . is a fundamental pillar of our democracy."

He repeated his intention to quickly pass C-38, which has been through two of the necessary three readings in the House of Commons.

Martin said he's willing to make it happen by extending the House of Commons session that is slated to end this week.

The same-sex marriage debate heated up in 2003 when an Ontario provincial court ruled that it violated the charter to ban gays and lesbians from civil matrimony.

That ruling has since been echoed in six other provinces and one territory.

The Liberal government responded with Bill C-38, which would apply at city halls and courthouses but allows religious institutions to refuse to marry same-sex couples.

The government says its legislation succeeds in balancing the charter's equality provision with its religious freedom guarantees.

"I don't believe that a prime minister can cherry-pick among those rights and say, 'Oh, well I'll support this right but I won't support that right,' " Martin said.

"You can't do that. What you've got to do is say, 'rights are rights.' "

But many religious institutions aren't buying the argument that churches, synagogues, mosques and temples will be left untouched.

Gay-rights activists have already talked about challenging churches' tax-exempt status, and Geremia worries that religious figures will some day be subject to hate-crimes prosecution.

In his lengthy Saturday sermon, Geremia never mentioned Martin by name, but spoke about the "government" visiting the neighbourhood to spread its wicked message.

Parishioners described his message - delivered in Italian and repeated in English - as warning that there is a government in Ottawa "doing the devil's work."

Geremia says he's determined to continue speaking out against the legislation because his conscience requires that.

He says he would wrestle with his conscience if he ever came face to face with the prime minister.

"I wish he doesn't come to communion," he said.

"Because he would put me in an embarrassment, (whether) to give communion or not."

Geremia is not the first church figure to lash out publicly at the leader of the Liberal government.

Bishop Fred Henry of Calgary once waded into the debate, saying that former prime minister Jean Chretien was putting his soul at risk.

To which Chretien replied: "I'm a Catholic and I'm praying."'
