Write a letter, get a free bag of pot in the mail! Mark Emery - still surrounded by idiots.
Michelle Malkin provides a glimpse into what it's like to be interviewed by an agenda-driven journalist - and what comes out the other end. This is one area in which blogs may have an eventual impact on dead-tree journalism. 10 years ago there was no venue for the interviewee to set the record straight without the interference of protective editors.

'The time for cosy tea-drinking with Muslim groups from Magic Statistics
A federal cabinet minister recently said that. Who?, you ask. A better question would be: From which country?
Can you imagine a Canadian politician saying anything like that? Me neither. [Read More]

"It'll be a wild ride."
"The Trial of Saddam Hussein"

I think it will be hard to evaluate the historical impact of the trial until it is well underway. It will be hard to judge the man without including the international system that made him possible. The proceedings so far suggest that Saddam will be uninhibited about his utterances. Despite the UN's concerns about the "narrowness" of the specification, the Washington Post notes that a substantial part of the regime's hierarchy is going on trial alongside him. It'll be a wild ride.
"The other defendants in the case are Barzan Ibrahim, Hussein's half brother and the head of Iraq's intelligence service until 2003; Taha Yassin Ramadan, Iraq's vice president until 2003; Awad Haman Bander Sadun, former chief of Hussein's Revolutionary Court, which sentenced many of the Dujail men to death; Abdullah Kadhim Ruweid, a senior Baath Party official in Dujail who is accused of rounding up the local residents after the assassination attempt; Mizher Abdullah Ruweid, his son; and two other senior Baath Party officials in Dujail, Ali Daeem Ali and Mohammed Azawi Ali."
Because Saddam is facing a certain death sentence he may try to take down whoever he can with him. Thus, the trial threatens to stink up the entire "international" political system. Of course, he can implicate the US as well. Why does America not fear the proceedings? Nervous observers must think that angle has been well covered but wonder at their own exposure. >> more

A good piece by Gen. Lewis Mackenzie in the Globe today: "Why I wore my uniform once again"
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20051019.wxcolewmack19/BNStory/National/
Excerpts:
...
'Canada has more than 1,500 soldiers serving in Afghanistan and surrounding locations. The work they do is tough, dirty and, yes, dangerous. They are in the process of redeploying from the Kabul area to a more volatile region in and around Kandahar, and their numbers will grow to more than 2,000 in early 2006.
Appreciating that Canadians are less than well informed about our military's largest overseas commitment, Defence Minister Bill Graham and the Chief of the Defence Staff, Rick Hillier, invited a number of them [including Gen. Mackenzie] to spend a week in Afghanistan with the men and women of the Canadian Forces...
Here's my message to some opposition MPs: Don't play politics with our soldiers. One defence critic [Conservative defence critic Gordon O'Connor] who should know better questioned the wisdom of the Afghan visit even before our departure from Canada. The unit he commanded as a lieutenant-colonel in the 1970s is now serving in Kandahar. A number of the unit's solders indicated they would have him drawn and quartered if he showed his face in Afghanistan. Not exactly the type of endorsement he would appreciate, but one he should have expected.
As someone who has served in and commanded numerous overseas missions starting with the Gaza Strip in 1963, I can guarantee every Canadian that I have never encountered a deployed soldier who didn't appreciate the time, effort and risk volunteered by Team Canada participants in the past. So, before the critics offer commentary on such matters, perhaps they should contact the only people who really matter in this debate -- the soldiers doing the dirty work for the rest of us -- and ask them what they think.'

Here's the new flash, it's too late for you liberal dogs in Holland. Enjoy your pot and hash cafes, enjoy your open red light district and enjoy what's left of your idiotic welfare state ... you know ... the one that attracts lazy but warlike insane immigrants like the Muslim hoardes you are not not having tea with. Because it's all about to change in a very big way.
If I may quote someone here ... Bwaahahahahahaha
You should have seen it coming ..
National Gum Registry - Canada.
Exhibit # : 2,987,056. D. Dingwall: Re: Gum @ $1.29 CDN
An audit of Dingwall's expenses by PricewaterhouseCoopers is expected to be completed next week and the mint CEO predicts he'll be completely exonerated - including for expensing a much-reported $1.29 pack of gum.
"I am confident that the auditors will find the corporation did not pay me for a package of gum," Dingwall told the committee, holding up a pack of Dentyne to press his point. >>>> Yahoo! News >>

That doesn't matter .. you don't go to jail for anything in Canada. You get rehab and money.
If you are a visible minority or French, you might
get a nice government job out of it .. they like criminals ... they hire many of them ... Most of them are criminals already.
Print away and don't worry. Most of the time no one reads anything anyway. Crime usually is gotten away with ... y'all know that.
Society has lost the will, to not only bother finding criminals, but when they do (usually due to someone ratting you out and not detective work) they don't have the will to punish you.
This is cartoon land. That's all folks!

Stupid question: Has the MSM told you this?
By Jamie Glazov
FrontPageMagazine.com | October 20, 2005
Frontpage Interview’s guest today is Ryan Mauro, the 19-year-old author of Death to America: The Unreported Battle of Iraq and the youngest hired geopolitical analyst in the country. He is a volunteer analyst for Tactical Defense Concepts and Northeast Intelligence Network and is the owner of WorldThreats.com. He will be speaking at the 2006 Intelligence Summit on his work in open-source intelligence.
FP: I want to talk to you today about what your sources reveal about the Saddam-Al Qaeda connection, WMDs in Iraq under Saddam, and the Syrian-Iranian connection to the terrorism in Iraq. But first, let’s talk about the referendum in Iraq the other day and the high-voter turnout. This is quite a devastating blow to the terrorists isn’t it?
Mauro: This is a disaster for the terrorists. Lots of critics in the mainstream media pointed to the delays in writing the constitution and bickering, but no where else in the Arab world can such bickering occur. And you can bet that the Iraqis and the region as a whole noticed that.
Despite the mainstream media trying to make it seem like the Sunnis voted en bloc to oppose the referendum, that simply isn't the case. The constitution almost certainly passed by a fair margin in at least two Sunni-dominated provinces.
The mainstream media is overly negative and pessimistic, but even they can't hide the fact that the Sunnis are now greatly divided -- with a large portion recognizing they need to trade in their weapons for a voting ballot. In my book, I show how the mainstream media's reports immediately after World War Two, during the reconstruction of Germany, mirrors today's reporting about Iraq. Unstoppable guerrilla war, the Germans are turning towards anti-American ideologies, widespread looting, the Germans and Europeans as a whole have turned on us, etc. I think the similarities are incredible.
FP: OK, tell us what your intelligence sources are saying about the terrorist activity in Iraq.> more
