Carolyn Parrish might be coming back -- and she's as ignorant as ever from Angry in the Great White North
Carolyn Parrish is an irredeemably ignorant woman, unworthy of the position of Member of Parliament, and undeserving of the freedoms she enjoys only because of the sacrifices made by Canadian soldiers in the wars she dismisses. [Read More]

Tracked on July 26, 2005 1:27 PM

A letter just sent to PM Martin, National Defence Minister Graham and Veterans Affairs Minister Guarnieri (and repeated to Ms Parrish):

The Globe and Mail has a story July 26: "Parrish, Grits may kiss and make up". In the story Ms Parrish responds to the recent statement by Gen. Rick Hillier, Canada's Chief of Defence Staff, that the job of the Canadian Forces is "to be able to kill people". Ms Parrish is quoted as saying: "We are also not a country that is going to easily throw away 100 years of peacekeeping reputation...by a testosterone-filled general..."

That takes us back to 1905. One wonders if Ms Parrish considers the following military operations in which Canadian forces took part to have been "peacekeeping":

World War I (1914-18)
World War II (1939-45)
The Korean War (1950-53)
The Gulf War (1991)
The Kosovo/Serbia aerial bombardment campaign (1999)
Anti-Taliban/al Qaeda operations in Afghanistan (2002).

If the honest Gen. Hillier is "testosterone-filled", then perhaps Ms Parrish is suffering from an excess of estrogen.

If you permit this truly ignorant embarrassment to the Parliament of Canada back into your caucus you will demonstrate a complete lack of respect for the tens of thousands of Canadians who died in the service of our great, democratic country--and for the Canadian Forces of today who will soon be facing combat again in Afghanistan.'

Luckily for Ms Parrish she only went back 100 years. Otherwise one would have to note the Boer War (1899-1902) to which Canada also sent fighting troops--something the great majority of Canadians, no doubt including her, do not know.

I encourage other to write in a similar vein.

This vile harridan; this old, vicious, left liberal invokes the late Chuck Cadman as a role model for herself.

"She said if she were to run as an Independent and win, she would be in the same "delightful position as Chuck Cadman [the B.C. MP who died this month] was of being able to vote exactly as your constituents want."
Parrish not only beats dolls, she spits on the dead. Parrish has no conscience; a model of a leftist thug. She would look good in an SS uniform designed for her by Hugo Boss, Sr. Fascist Carla.

The Globe & Mail is incorrect in its lead sentence. Whether this is incredibly sloppy or an attempted rewrite of nine-month-old history is a topic worthy of its own discussion.

Martin and the Liberal Party accepted/condoned Parrish's anti-American statements for some considerable time (one of the reasons my brain is drained, but that's another story). She was only "kicked out" when she made anti-Martin statements:

"The Hill Times, November 22nd, 2004

NEWS STORY
By F. Abbas Rana

Meanwhile, the Prime Minister last week turfed Liberal MP Carolyn Parrish (Mississauga-Erindale, Ont.) from the Liberal caucus. Her expulsion became almost imminent after she blasted the Prime Minister and his advisers in an interview with The Canadian Press. Ms. Parrish said that she "wouldn't shed a tear" for Mr. Martin if he failed to win the next election and that his advisers "can all go to hell." Before that, on CBC TV's comedy show This Hour Has 22 Minutes, she stomped on a Bush doll and pricked his brain with a pen."

Her return to caucus would probably include a standing ovation led by the same PM.

Excellent letter, Mark, but I'll skip sending a similar one. I'd rather they let her back in the fold in the hopes that she's managed to offend as many in her riding as outside of it. Although her running as an independent is also interesting to contemplate.

She appears to have won quite handily last election (by 12k votes), so maybe your plan is a better one, as she'd be less likely to win as an independent.

Thoughts, anyone?

And so much for the value of a degree from University of Toronto, St. Michael's College--as long ago as 1969. One wonders if today's graduates know which countries were on which side in WW I, WW II and Korea (or the Boer War).

Parrish's riding is heavy with immigrants. Don't think for a second she's playing to the Canadian electorate or the peacenics - that was for the home crowd.

Drained Brain: The Globe story was written by "Deep Throat" Jane Taber, who would never do anything to embarrass her anonymous Liberal sources. The Liberals would prefer the forgetful masses to remember Ms Parrish as anti-American rather than anti-Martin. Which is rather illuminating as to where they see the votes as being.

That should explain the economy of truth concerning why Ms Parrish was dropped from the party caucus.

Mark
Ottawa

Parrish a teacher--this explains the voting patterns in Ontario?
I have heard rumors that she isn't really interested in federal politics but is positioning herself to take over as mayor when McCallion steps down.

Indeed, Mark.

Of course, she's not selling any anti-Martin shirts on her website:

http://www.carolynparrish.parl.gc.ca/news/T-shirts.html

There are more and more comments coming from Liberals that are beginning to enrage me. I pray that I remain calm in the presence of Liberals.

I guess Ms Parish is also unaware that the deputy commander in Iraq is a Canadian? She represents everything that is wrong with modern liberalism: smug, ignorant and cowardly.

If she is speaking for her immigrant laden riding, then it is time to shut the door before the anti-American, anti-Christian and anti-trueblue Canadian ghetto gets any more power.

I am fed up with the freaks, phonies and fairies. I am more convinced than ever that a 'hard-right' political agenda is our only hope.

This "anselm" cat is a real tolerant guy. Big believer in demoracy. Why don't you google "Fred Phelps"? They could use a good man like you.

Parrish's complete lack of credibilty makes her statement moot at best. But she needs a good slap anyway. Just cuz.

Don:

If Anselm is intollerant what is Parrish and what are you? Re democracy, we don't currently have one here in Canada.

History = Culture = Destiny. If the country continues to be governed by these bloody idiots, we'll soon have nothing.

Another inaccuracy of the Globe and Mail report is that they said she called George Bush a moron and bastard. Untrue! She did call Bush a moron but she called AMERICANS bastards. The Globe doesn't want you to know this because it's in style to bash Bush (just a LITTLE less offensive than bashing Americans). The truth is that there is no bigger biggot in Canada than Carolyn Parrish. She is a dangerous fool who if left in charge we would have raised the new Al Queda flag in Ottawa by now.

Don,

Tolerance is a weasel word used by weasels.

My nephew is heading for Afghanistan and he is not going there to support modern Liberalism, gay marriage, perversion, dishonesty and corruption. He is heading there to defend what's left of Canadian democracy.

The difference between me and the 'tolerant' crowd is my clear Irish hide and their five layers of bullshit.

Watch what you say about me Don. You big poopy bum.

Hey, watch the name-calling, kiddies.

Jane Taber's article just goes to show how little liberals think of Canadians. They are used to revising history to suit themselves and this is only the latest example of it.
If it works for them it MUST work for you. After all THEY are the RULING PARTY of Canada, illegitimate though they be.
They can ignore 4 non-confidence votes, making every last thing they have done from that moment on totally illegal and unconstitutional, yet they can embrace the likes of Parrish.
PERFECT example of how they operate.
It does not matter what we do or say, we can and will justify it and make you swallow it.

One of these days we are going to go to the voters booth. I wonder how these decima polls will stack up then?
I suspect they may turn out to be just as accurate as those exit polls calling Kerry 15 percentage points ahead of Bush in the early hours election day.
Skewing polls to form opinion is not new and is working overtime in this country.
The ultimate test will be whether or not Canadians are as upset with these liberals as they ought to be and make them pay the price when it is time to make their mark and have their say.
I believe that Canadians as a whole are not as anti-american as the libs would like us to believe and certainly not as tolerant of their shenanigans and shameful behaviour they have exhibited lately.
But, we will see , won't we?
As far as I am concerned, Ms. Parrish belongs in the liberal ranks. She thinks like they do. The only difference is that she is quite happy to speak out about it and they would rather pretend they didn't hear her.
Sad that she was a teacher. God only knows how history has been revised for many a Canadian child.

Liberal memory spans are measured in nano-seconds….anything that happened more than an hour ago must be relegated to revisionist history because you must create reality if reality escapes you. Given the true historic record of the liberals a poor memory is a prerequisite for surviving investigation.

What's with you"DON"? Is it all a big word game to you? In case you never considered it, when something bad happens to this country, it happens to you ,too. Or are you so insulated by your perceived privilege that you don't care?
Anselm: I served this country faithfully for twenty-six years and my prayers go with your nephew as he goes to do his duty.

Such anger directed at a poor lady who can't help herself! My, My.

(ignorant cow, she deserves every word)

This whole myth about Canadian peacekeeping is quite funny. Now an MP ups the ante and states that our proud peacekeeping traditions go back a 100 years! And since when is being testosterone-filled a liability for a general anyways?

I am not sure if I want to shake my head from fear or shock or shame.

Dispicable foul mouthed retarded socialist fat bitch or a typical liberal?
With credentials like that how can the lieberals say no?

VIN: Jane "Deep Throat" Taber is a very big biggot where Conservatives are concerned, though perhaps not as big a biggot as Ms Parrish is concerning the Americans. But it's very, very close.

Hey, I thought we'd agreed it was Gidget ('girl (intellectual)midget = Gidget)? Nobody takes her stuff seriously except Mike Duffy, right? As for Parrish's teaching methods, that's how they teach Canadian history in this country now. It completely rewrites our past because we're now a nation of immigrants from non-Commonwealth countries who couldn't care a fig about where we came from historically. Jerry Granastein (?) wrote a book on this and is constantly complaining about it. (HOpe I got his name right, because although he's a Liberal, he is pretty intelligent). And what the hell is Don/Scott/Warren doing back here?

Perhaps because I live in the shadow of the Hill, I read this story in a whole different light. It looked to me like Taber skewered Parrish in a big way. Kiss and make up. They want me back. I'm still a loud month fool.

Do y'all know that Carolyn Parrish was the Canadian Representative to NATO when she said, "Stupid Americans, I hate those bastards." ?

That was my biggest problem with it.

Isn't this a heartwarming picture?

glenda: Boy that's subtle. Maybe that is the result "Deep Throat" Taber's anonymous sources hope for. This time let's hope they succeed.

Kyla: Parrish's golden words actually were: "Stupid Americans, I hate those bastards."

She was not Canadian Representative to NATO (that is an ambassador) when she made the remark. See following from her website.

"Carolyn was elected Chair of the all-party Canadian NATO Parliamentary Association where she was instrumental in having Canada's Ottawa Convention ratified, banning anti-personnel landmines. After serving a two-year term as Vice Chair of the International NATO Executive, Carolyn resigned from the association, concerned that it was is becoming an extension of its dominant partners - the U.S. and Britain."

Did'nt you folks know? Canada's history started with the election of P E Trudeau.Every thing before does'nt count.

"stupid Americans,I hate those Bastards".That reminds me of the words that a certain first nations leader used that got his Order of Canada medal revoked.

Brave Words by Outraged Canadians ... who speak up to defend truth and democracy .... but are you prepared to personally fight for your beliefs in the next election... or are you too frightened to stick out your cowardly necks to overthrow the Liberal velvet dictatorship .... I thought so ... only internet warriors .... flick .... !!!!

Gen. Wolfe,
Well as long as we don't have Montcalm coming back from the grave telling us how to run our country----- oh, wait a minute, his descendants are already doing that-- sorry, go back to sleep General..........

old squid: "During his visit to Ireland, Mr. Chretien told Irish students that he wished he had been able to stop the British conquest of Canada by waking up the French general, Louis-Joseph de Montcalm, whom the prime minister maintains was caught napping by the English General James Wolfe -- a fact disputed by historians."

Call Parrish
SOS Red Alert

If the Liberals and Parrish do not kiss and make up, there is a real possibility of vote-splitting in her Mississauga riding. Who would the Liberals set up to run against her?

In my humble opinion, I hope Dithers does let her back in.
First it will prove beyond a doubt what a classless tool he is.
Second, once back in caucus she will cause no end of dissention in the ranks.

Can you imagine the confrontations between her and Belinda?

Fortunately, the boundary riding moved so I am not in Parrish's riding anymore, but Palestine House (just down the road) still is. She is not playing to the national audience, she is playing ethnic politics to get re-elected.

Pearson was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for "inventing" peacekeeping in response to the 1956 Suez Crisis. I guess you stretch back to the United Nations Truce Supervision Organization (UNTSO) which started in 1948 and was led by Canadian General E.L.M. Burns of WWII fame. But even then Parrish's "100 years of peacekeeping reputation" falls short.

You'd have to go back to roughly 1905 to find the origins of Canadian peacekeeping in Parrish's world. Oddly enough that brings us to about the time of the Boer War (1899-1902). I wonder if Parrish considers Canadian participation in that imperial foray to be a mater of peacekeeping?

I'm a little confused. Is the t-shirt the old cow is trying to hawk on her website in reference to the Liberal Party?

And that smile of hers in that photo op with Arafat.....she is a waste of skin.

Jane Taber strikes me as a woman that has had a nervous breakdown and been rescued by the left and thus is beholden to them.

What do you mean Jane Taber may be on-side with Martin or Parrish or any other Liberano hack?

Who at the Globe and Mail isn't on side with these thieves and scum bags?

It matters not, since the numbers don't exist to dethrone them, so let just be content to watch the more interesting show in the US and Britain and Australia.

Canada has become irrelivant in every way!

Hmm on second though, maybe I didn't read that right.

Globe .... aversion ... crow .... poor memory .. what the! I don't get it. What Jane Taber got to do with anything? Looks like she just reported some liberal stuff that means nothing in the big picture.
All the globe staff are liberals ... they all aspired an eventual appointment. Perhaps not as grandious as Madame Clarkson, but hey there are lots of places for worn tongues in the service of the great dominion.
Canada remains irrelevant though.

Don, I see you're still around. I thought you promised to meet me for a duel yesterday. But like the snivelling coward you always are, hiding behind a phony name and sniping from the grassy knoll, you pussied out.

You know that here the playing field is level. This is not TV. You are not in control. Your intelligence is inferior to mine.

You have NOT CONTRIBUTED ANYTHING AT ALL. You are only here to libel the good people of Canada who care about all that is good and oppose all that is bad, like corruption, crime, appeasement of terrorists and tyrants, opening up the doors of marriage to anyone and everyone, of all combinations, permutations and numbers, taxing the poor and giving to the rich and the Communist dictators of China who bought IBM and are buying up our oil companies, and on and on.

You are a worthless piece of communist, pacifist crud who believes we all should drop trou and touch our toes when the terrorists invade our home and native land.

Oh, and you are oh, sooo tolerant yourself, yeah, right. Anti-Christ, Anti-Semite, Anti-American, Anti-Irish, etc. etc.

And to this moment you are still avoiding me. You know I will intellectually kick your skinny ass here on SDA. Your ego couldn't handle it. You're a big bully under MSM protection, but here you are nothing but Pee Wee Herman at the porno theatre.

Come on and DEBATE ME, Liberal left-wing extremist coward. Leave that goat alone and git yer arse over here pronto, boy!

Worthless lying Librano scumbag.

I'll be back tomorrow, folks. Why not get Warren riled up? I like a challenge, and so far, there has been none. I am so disappointed. I thought Warren was a professional political pitbull, but he's just a windup Snoopy doll in a pink tutu.

Oh, there was a topic. I say: Jane Taber is a moron. Like Carolyn Parrish.

Kate,
You just have to put up a separate thread for Mr. McAllister and "DON" for tomorrow. If they ever get together to debate,it'll be a classic. Perhaps your loyal readers could even suggest some topics for debate.

Anselm, with honor your nephew will fight for all that is good in humanity. As did one of my brothers in GW1.

People like "Don" just don't understand; they have been brainwashed. Perhaps we should pity them. They need help. Hope they get it someday, somehow, and salvage their souls before it's too late.

I will be available probably after about 5-6 PM ET. Big productive day tomorrow at the factory. Bet Don won't show, though...

Carolyn Parrish is a moron! Why any media person would give her the time of day, much less print space is beyond me.

Angry had a good post the other day regarding the fact that many Canadian don't even believe/understand that soldiers are trained to kill. Hello, just what they h*ll is the gun for!!! Sadly, her thoughts are much more common in certain parts of Canada than you really want to believe.

Sheila,
I remember the old Sarge from the RCRs instructing us young guys:" Aim for the biggest part of the body", he screamed,"there's less chance of f'ng missing". We weren't using paint guns (although I understand some Units in Canada do so today)so people in Canada better get used to the fact that Canadian troops are trained to kill.

Ahhh my dear Kate,
It is indeed a lovely place you have here at SDA. Eloquent and thought provoking with a solid foot in the real world. It is too bad that not everyone has those Liberal Left rose coloured glasses in which to see clearly. (Don, that was sarcasm). Like the old Squid, I too have served Queen and country for 20+ years and would like to personally thank JC and PM for freezing those peasant wages back in the '90s. It did wonders for my meager pension.
As far as Ms Parrish and the history according to the MSM, I was truly diappointed in the lack of facts in her diatribe. That is until I stumbled upon (like a gopher hole) a site called Rabble or Brabble. This was a site to behold! The utter crap there was priceless(as in you couldn't give it away). Imagine a Canadian general with testosterone and a gun! I laughed until I realized that these nuts are serious. Who was it that said "Those who do not remember history are doomed to repeat it"? Per ardua ad astra
God help us all.

Taber/Parrish: Your assignment is to fisk the following news report.

Remember: who/what/where/when/why. Known as the 5 w's. We await your report.

Border XXX-ings

There is no governmental report more highly anticipated than the quarterly list of "Admissible and Prohibited Titles" prepared by Canada's Border Services Agency. (Smoking Gun)
>>>> primetimecrime.com

Apparently Parrish said that Hillier is testosterone-fueled. That's as ignorant as I would be if I said she is estrogen-fueled.

Majestically ignorant, in fact, because although he could be glucose-fueled, or alcohol-fueled, or starch-fueled, testosterone and estrogen are hormones, not fuels. You can't burn hormones as an effective source of energy.

Personally, I think Parrish is uranium fueled, so we should erect thick lead shields and a containment vessel around her.

Nice chat teeny chat room all that's missing are the alien avatars.

Wow, I just heard that archeologists have figured out how the Easter Islanders became extinct. Apparently they changed their flag and then just kept voting for more and more Parrish-style government, until one day the state strangled them in their sleep.

Seen/heard in the MSM yet?

Egyptians Arrested in New Jersey

Five Egyptians have been arrested in New Jersey with maps of the New York subway system: Authorities Arrest Men With NYC Maps, Video. (Hat tip: Jihad Watch.)

July 26, 2005 — Five Egyptian men with maps of the New York City subway system and video of New York landmarks have been arrested by the Joint Terrorism Task Force in Newark, N.J., ABC News has learned.

FBI and law enforcement officials told ABC News the five men — four illegal immigrants and one law enforcement fugitive — were arrested Sunday night following a tip to the Newark Police Department. In addition to the subway maps and video, the men had train schedules and $8,000 in $20 and $50 bills...

Duke, I can't believe you are looking for the incarnation of a Hindu deity here, maybe you should put your tinfoil hat on and head back from whence you came.

Sorry to hijack the tread..

Can someone tell me (honestly) what the 'ethnic' makeup of Parrishes riding is?

Sorry if it's a dumb question..I have not been to Mississauga lately.

~B

Odd how our cow Carolyn is concerned about Canada's reputation as peace keepers. Did she have any objections during the recent 'Peacekeeper's Lives For Votes' sale that Paul Martin tried to conduct during the non-confidence motions? Nice to see Kilgour wasn't for sale. Did it seem odd to her that the Liberals were ready to send young Canadian soldiers to an ill-equipped death in Africa for one vote for the liberal's sorry hides? Did she notice that any concern for the people being slaughtered in Darfour evaporated the second it wouldn't do the Liberals any good? Did she notice that the government of Sudan had never heard of the Liberal's plan to send peacekeepers there?
This last question is rhetorical. Has she no shame?

Virgil: Neither shame, nor knowledge, nor intelligence, nor Latin. But arrogance without measure.

But maybe she's just over-compensating for a certain inherent lack of self-confidence. One never knows. Poor thing.

Mark

She can not be well. There may be a tumor or unbalanced chemistry contibuting to rage.

In any case, if someone wishes to defend her, what useful thing, service or idea has she contributed to Canada? Anything ? 73s TG

Ok, I just have to say this. Small Dead Animals is going on my blogroll. Kate, you're great. Nuff said on that.

Re: Carolyn Parrish. Would it be alright if I was able to get a doll made of her and be able to do the same things to the doll as she did to Bush's doll? Would that be something to get her goat up? Or would it be better that I drape the Red Ensign Standard (For all the Diefenbaker fans out there) over her as she walks into Parliament (when I come to visit here in the near future)?

Let me know, and I'll see what I can do.

Seems to be a hot topic.
As I have stated before... Perish is not NEARLY as anti-American as she is anti-semetic...

Blogette,

Not her specific riding, but Mississauga as a whole as of 2001'

Total pop 610815
Foreign born 285650
Visible minority 246330
Muslim 41845

With those kinds of numbers it is easy to see that ethnic block voting can control the ridings and why the Liberals are so keen to encourage it.

eg. Volpe's Accelerated Family Reunion Program AKA "vote Liberal or grandma doesn't get into Canada" program.

Parrish is totally frustrated with Martin and they Martin way. She plans to run as an independant next time.

Now, in her frustration, she makes several anti-Martin assertions that I agree with, however I feel she is washed up.

Washed up because no thinking Canadian wants to be represented to the world by someone loud hot-head who has temper fits. Someone who gives into impulse and calls people names as 6 year old children do.

I suspect Parrish is either not well, or is struggling with an unusual menopause.

Once again I ask, is anyone aware of any positive aim or action that Parrish can be proud of?

I suspect there will be no examples posted, just as before.

Too bad. Please say good bye Carolyn and get a hobby. Please do not bring shame on the house and all Canadians again. Thank you. 73s TG

I think Carolyn Parrish may simply need to get laid, and badly. Too bad nobody'd want to even get close to that dangerous, estrogen-filled old bag!

Hey, Carolyn, bite my bum-bum!

Folks,

When it comes to Carolyn, it's really pretty simple.

She's just not that bright.

I agree with Candace

Let Carolyn back into the Liberal fold and use it to show their total lack of principle.

She'll lose more votes for the Libs than she will gain.

Another great piece in today's Toronto Sun courtesy of Lorrie Goldstein on the stupidity of the Mother Corpse and their policy on terrorists versus gunpersons, etc.

http://www.torontosun.com/News/Columnists/Goldstein_Lorrie/2005/07/26/1148752.html

Sorry about the link, but I really am pathetic when it comes to this sort of thing. It's a must-read though.

Two Cents:

Common sense would indicate that someone so radical would alienate voters. Unfortunately I don't think the she seems so outrageous to Libs. Indoctrination is the only word I can think to use when describing many (most) Liberal supporters. Prior to Gomery, if someone had told you of the levels of corruption directly implicating the Liberals and Martin, along with Grewalgate and the non confidence debacle (for us conservatives) that the Liberals would be firmly cenmented in first place, would you have believed them or dismissed them?

Sad to say but Parrish is the voice for average Libs. She says the things they are itching to say , but cannot due to strict adherence to Lib ideology (tolerance, diversity,blah blah blah)

Ward, Grewalgate was clusmy, but he has been vilified because he got it right. He succeeded in showing up the Librano$ at their own game, and has paid a huge price for it. Obviously he was inept, but when you think about it, that's a good thing. If he'd been slick and had CIA quality wire taps, we'd have something to worry about. He'd never have volunteered them to the RCMP from the get-go if he'd been at all worried. I think they should have gone straight to the FBI because I don't trust the feds-RCMP relationship. And you're right about Parrish, at least in part. She does speak Lib-speak, and that's why they keep her around. They won't dare say it, but she will, so they can tsk tsk in the background while all the time applauding her. Just as they did after Cretin's testimony at Gomery. Background standing ovation, while condemning it in the media, or at least some of them.

Next G-G likely to be a Quebec woman.
Nominations now open: Jacqueline Trudeau; Pierrette Gagliano; Josee Martine; Califraxis O'Reilly (blonde from Dorval); Simonette; Gerund Participle, QZVC, MSA, PQ, RCA, St. magre le Sass.; Janeee Tabernack (cottage in the Gatineau)... Attention la: Pas des hommes apply not you males.

By JANE TABER AND MICHAEL VALPY

Wednesday, July 27, 2005 Updated at 4:04 AM EDT

From Wednesday's Globe and Mail

With the Prime Minister's Office indicating a new governor-general will be named shortly, speculation by vice-regal watchers is now focusing on Quebec — which hasn't produced a governor-general in 15 years — and a francophone woman.

The rationale for a Quebec woman is that, with the minority government Liberals substantially behind the Bloc Québécois in the polls, the appointment of a high-profile Quebecker as the Queen's representative could be politically beneficial. Plus, history has shown that women by and large have a better feel for the job — either as governor-general or provincial lieutenant-governor — than men.
http://www.rapp.org/url/?IQR50BOA

"Speaking of revisionist history ... Carolyn Parrish was born October 3, 1946 so it's possible she's never heard of World War II...

"Still, you'd think she'd have stumbled across it during her career as a teacher."

Uh, this is exactly why I would've assumed she made this statement honestly.

Iron Lady, well-expressed. You obviously understand very well what's been happening and have a very realistic, free-thinking perspective thereto.

And...

Carolyn Parish was a teacher?(!) That's one of the scariest things of all! No wonder so many people are so bloody fecking brainwashed into being members of the VLWC!

Gotta love what Monte Solberg had to say about Ms. Parrish

His Title was "Look at me everyone, I'm saying something outrageous"

Monte's text started with: "Look, I know I'm not exactly shy in front of the media, but if I ever start doing a Carolyn Parrish please hit me square in the forehead with a ballpeen hammer and feed me to the crows. Sure it's a little ironic and funny that Carolyn, of all people, suggests that our CDS, General Rick Hillier should have a clamp on his mouth. Even Carolyn seems to get that. But after that it gets sad..."

Carolyn Parrish would make a great mayor of Toronto with her crazy statements!

As a REAL broad and proud of it, I suggest that had I written to the Toronto Star or Sob & Wail, recommending an estrogen patch be placed firmly over the mouth of Carolyn Parrish, nobody would have printed it. In fact, if I recommended it to Ms Parrish's shrink, I'd probably still be chastised. Still, it's worth noting that estrogen has a calming effect, and that is what this cow truly does need. She shoots from the lip because she has nothing meaningful to say, but she does have to let her mainly muslim constituents know that she's still earning a pay cheque, even as an indie. Maybe the Mayor of Mississauga will retire soon and Ms Parrish can run locally. Save the rest of us a lifetime of apologies to the US, not to mention the shame and embarrassment of saying we were educated in Canada by teachers who saw our vets as peacekeepers instead of Nazi slayers.

The Globe & Mail article referenced above by maz2 carries the bylines of Jane Taber and Michael Valpy:

http://www.rapp.org/url/?IQR50BOA

Can anybody pick out a minimum of three "opinions masquerading as facts" in this supposedly "hard news" article by two of Canada's most PROMINENT journalists in Canada's most PROMINENT newspaper?*

Like shooting fish in a barrel for readers of this blog, so bonus marks for pointing out an example of pretentious punctation in the article...

*Think of anything that might raise the suspense level for Canadians of the prime minister's appointment of somebody to a post that the writers of the article feel they have to describe as follows for the great unwashed:

"The governor-general represents the Queen as head of state in Canada's constitutional monarchy."

""The governor-general represents the Queen as head of state in Canada's constitutional monarchy."

Except, of course, if the government of the UK ever attempted to stay past losing a confidence vote, you can bet your ass the Queen would dissolve Parliament anyway. She takes her constitutional role seriously, unlike (apparently) GG Clarkson. There is something very wrong, backward and dangerous about a system in which the de facto head of state is appointed by the head of government.

Amen to that, Dave J. 73s TG
