Posted by: tomax at March 28, 2006 6:59 PMKate, are you saying being a washed up bond girl or getting hep C from a drugged up drummer while filming a porn film doesn't automatically get you an audience with our countries Prime Minister?? What about the blue glasses and large ego, that should do it shouldn't it. PUT A BIG RED X THROUGH THAT TOOLS FACE !!!!!!
Posted by: BDT at March 28, 2006 7:01 PMSSSSHHHH! Ugly! SH****T! Those are really scary looking photos. The one on the left looks like a character from Star Wars or a Chinese breed of dog. The one in the middle is a massive vacant stare. I have no idea what to do with the one on the right.

Given that PM Stephen Harper is married to Laureen, she would appear to have the sexual bases covered.
It would appear that he is not gay as you infer.
Why should PM Stephen Harper meet with Pamela?
She appears somewhat plastic in any case.
Secondly, for anyone interested in wildlife management the study of predator prey lifecycles is well studied. If we let Pam have her way we could tell the Newfoundland fisheries that we'll let the seals run amuck and that they can all vacate their homes and livlihoods.
Sorry Brigit and Pam, former beauties and boobs need not apply.
Posted by: Hans Rupprecht at March 28, 2006 7:50 PMHey, you can insult the other two, but leave Bono out of this ;)
Hey, at least he fights for causes that are actually worthwhile!
Posted by: Dante at March 28, 2006 7:50 PMSorry Dante: It was the red Xs that got me going.
At least Bono challenged the former PM to do more for the African subcontinent, which at the very least earns some of our sympathy.

Posted by: Fred at March 28, 2006 8:09 PMHey Bone Head is an ego maniac and cares about Africa as much I do ... not!
Africa is a failed continent. It is beyond help. The Muslim hoardes keep moving down taking away turf from the Oomba Bibis that presently have no idea why they are all dying and governments who don't care as long the UN keeps that dough coming in.
Get real, Africa is a sewer. Do you like tossing your money into a sewer.
How much of Bone Head's money has HE tossed in?
You would do much better supporting the SPCA ... Animals aren't evil.
Posted by: Duke at March 28, 2006 8:12 PMI agree with Dante re: Bono. Besides, Harper's kids would probably kill him if they didn't get to meet Bono.
Posted by: Candace at March 28, 2006 8:21 PMHans,
Many, many, many gay men marry women to cover it up.
I personally think a guy that wouldn't want to meet Pam to discuss whatever topic is probably gay.
I mean, there are other possible reasons. He might be entirely dickless.

Good questions, we should ask Bono how much he has ponied up.
True, animals are not evil. But the villification of those involved in animal husbandry doesn't help. Moreover, how do we as a nation account for the fact that people depend on the fisheries for income which also happens to be the seals food source. How would you strike a balance?

So past practice is a logical reason that it should continue? In short, they should all go away and die because some of their governments behave like vipers? Duke, you may be angry but you are better than that.

And now, a few lines from a comedy central roast:
"Pam has two lovely children and the births were quite easy...apparently the kids just walked out."

First Bardot, then Pam, and now Bono....

Posted by: jhuck at March 28, 2006 8:51 PMNow maybe I'm just not remembering thinks correctly, but I think I am. Has anyone heard a single word about protest at the Newfoundland seal hunt in the past 15 years? I personal thought is was all over and done with. The other item I don't seem to recall are the protestors calling for the Prime Minister to bring home the troops from Afganistan. It seems now that we have a Conservative Prime Minister that everything is wrong with Canada.
But maybe it's just me.

Posted by: CanForce 101 at March 28, 2006 9:09 PMHans,
Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results is the recipe for insanity.
We have not and cannot do anything different in Africa. They are trapped in a vortex of poverty, ignorance, fear, AIDS, UN plunder, Islamic Jihad and tribal hatreds not to mention weird bugs and snakes.
What do you suggest?
Posted by: Duke at March 28, 2006 9:12 PMHans, the West can't save Africans from their governments unless we overthrow them, then the lefties all over the globe would go ballistic. They embrace sovereign borders over genicide and crimes against humanity. Throwing money down a rat hole, or more realitically into the Swiss banks accounts of African thugs, hasn't worked either.
Share with us your alternative plan to save lives in Africa.
Posted by: penny at March 28, 2006 9:16 PMHarper wouldn't meet with Pam? Is he secretly gay?
I would suspect he was gay if he *did* want to meet with her. I think she looks like a transsexual trying too hard to pass.
Bozo from U2 isn't blathering at us too is he?
Not that I'd heard; maybe he's being mixed up with Morrissey, that gay vegan depressive who is boycotting Canada and is urging others to do the same as long as the seal hunt continues
Funny how they don't protest the Alaskan seal hunt off the Pribiloff Islands, or the one in Norway or Denmark. Greenlanders are allowed to kill as many seals as they want, and over 200,000 seals were killed by European countries last year.
Somebody pass Brigitte some moisturizer fer Crissake.
Can't wait to hear what Pammy will have to say at the Junos, wait a sec why would anyone want to watch the Junos?
Posted by: Ryan at March 28, 2006 10:17 PMDuke's and penny's ignorant comments about Africa to the contrary, there is plenty we could do to help Africa and African people if we wanted to.
And why shouldn't Harper meet with Bono? Bush at least has had the decency to do so, at the National Prayer Breakfast in February.
Here are Bono's comments in support of the Millennium Development Goals:
Here’s some good news for the President. After 9-11 we were told America would have no time for the World’s poor. America would be taken up with its own problems of safety. And it’s true these are dangerous times, but America has not drawn the blinds and double-locked the doors.
In fact, you have double aid to Africa. You have tripled funding for global health. Mr. President, your emergency plan for AIDS relief and support for the Global Fund—you and Congress—have put 700,000 people onto life-saving anti-retroviral drugs and provided 8 million bed nets to protect children from malaria.
Outstanding human achievements. Counterintuitive. Historic. Be very, very proud.
But here’s the bad news. From charity to justice, the good news is yet to come. There’s is much more to do. There’s a gigantic chasm between the scale of the emergency and the scale of the response.
These goals—clean water for all; school for every child; medicine for the afflicted, an end to extreme and senseless poverty—these are not just any goals; they are the Millennium Development goals, which this country supports. And they are more than that. They are the Beatitudes for a Globalised World.
Posted by: Stephen at March 28, 2006 10:20 PMMore examples of the Liberal veiw of tolerance from bigcitylib.
Posted by: Ryan at March 28, 2006 10:28 PMYikes. I remember Bardot being pretty "hot" looking in the early 70's (when I was in university). The seal skin boots could also by purchased at that time.
Something tells me the boots would have weathered the years better than Brigitte.
Posted by: ural at March 28, 2006 10:31 PMI would concur with Stephen there is much that could be done in Africa.
First you need a set of ideals, and then a reasonable way to implement them bit by bit.
My father grew up in Nazi Germany learning how to despise certain races. He by turns wound up in the Kingdom of Lesotho, which is surrounded by South Africa. He spent the last ten years of his career as a civil engineer working on the Lesotho Highlands Water Project which when finished is a $10 billion dollar deal. The Kingdom of Lesotho sells power to South Africa and evirons for goods and services. This project also provides fresh water to the local population.
Who says God doesn't have a sense of humour; when the little boy who was taught to hate the "inferior races" and to kill and blow stuff up, winds up building and helping the very same at the end of his career? Balance, you just have to find it.
Posted by: Hans Rupprecht at March 28, 2006 10:45 PM"It (a boycott of Canadian products) WILL make a difference. As things stand, Canada has placed itself alongside China as the cruelest and most self-serving nation." -- Morrisey
What, Iran didn't make the shortlist? Oh right, I forget, such activists are more interested in saving overpopulated animals than fighting a regime where there is no freedom of speech, no freedom of the press, no freedom of religion, and no freedom to own a pet.
(I'm serious -- one out of every five Americans thought that was protected under the First Amendment!) :-)
Posted by: Eugene at March 28, 2006 10:46 PMWell, geez, Stephen, haven't the UN and NGO's been at this game of helping Africa for decades and where are the results?
The point is that when you have a very bad government you will be poor, sick and needy.
Any responsibilty internal there?
...there is plenty we could do to help Africa and African people if we wanted to.
How the hell do you get money/aid to people when the thieves at the top steal it? Got a solution to that one?
"We" have poured money down that rathole for decades.
Here's a good read for you on the raw corruption and complexity of Africa.
http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=19189
Bottomline: there isn't much we can do.
As far as "scale of response", Bush committed more money than any single nation to eradicate AIDS. Pretty tough when sexual mores are a huge contributing factor. Your slobbering about more aid is misplaced. Stepping up to the plate as the voice of the feeling left, you've failed to notice that most of you idiot plans haven't worked anywhere.
Posted by: penny at March 28, 2006 10:50 PMBrigitte Bardot a Bond girl? I don't think so.
Fred: lighten up, eh. I thought that Pam/gay joke was just that, besides she's Canadian, well okay she was from BC.
I kind of agree with Duke (quel surpris) in that Africa is a mess. Money will not help like Bono thinks. It just makes him look like he cares. How many billions of debt has the world forgiven Africa, billions more all the time in aid and they still spiral down into oblivian. The damned if you do and damned if you don't part comes in here as the biggest thing most of these countries need is a real non-corrupt government.
So then, what's the answer? I don't know.
Posted by: Texas Canuck at March 28, 2006 10:53 PMThe reason why people like "bigcitylib" always bring up and have a preoccupation with the gay issue is that nearly all liberals are fags themselves.
Its their own self interests again
Posted by: notasocialist at March 28, 2006 11:21 PMPam could possibly be a vagitarian?
Posted by: notasocialist at March 28, 2006 11:25 PMWell, geez, Stephen, haven't the UN and NGO's been at this game of helping Africa for decades and where are the results?
Well, there have been some results, as you'd know if you looked. Furthermore, wealthy nations have been breaking some of their own promises for decades (e.g. implementing fair trade rules, committing .7% of their GDP to aid, etc.). We should take those failures into account as well, and not throw everything onto NGOs and the UN.
The point is that when you have a very bad government you will be poor, sick and needy.
Naturally, it's true there as it is here: many people in North America are poorer, sicker and needier than necessary thanks in part to our bad governments' bad choices.
Any responsibilty internal there?
Of course.
How the hell do you get money/aid to people when the thieves at the top steal it? Got a solution to that one?
Generalize much? Is every African country led by 'thieves' who steal the aid money?
And who says every helpful project involves giving corrupt dictators a chance to skim off the top? I have before me a description of a Kenyan project sponsored by the Mennonite Central Committee (you know, the hated pacificists) that assists Kenyan women to earn money selling their traditional handicrafts. Small but tangible results--and no cartoon-character dictator lurking in the background to steal your money!
Here's a good read for you on the raw corruption and complexity of Africa.
Well, I'll say this for it: it's better than much of the nonsense I've read at frontpagemag.com. Still, you picked up on the corruption mentioned and missed out on the complexity. Even the roundtable participants you quote have more nuanced views of the African situation than your own.
Bottomline: there isn't much we can do.
Bottom line: there's plenty, if we have the imagination and the political will.
Your slobbering about more aid is misplaced. Stepping up to the plate as the voice of the feeling left, you've failed to notice that most of you idiot plans haven't worked anywhere.
Funny, my keyboard appears to be dry. How's yours?
If I knew what the 'feeling left' was, I'd probably admit to being a paid-up member, but instead of an admission, I close with a question:
Have you noticed, penny, how neoliberal and militarist plans have been working out globally over the last couple of decades? For the people on the receiving end, I mean?
How are they working out in Iraq, or in Colombia? Talk about pouring money down a "rathole" (I use penny's term to refer to the military efforts, not the people of the countries).

You're just too funny. You think Mugabe,Patrice Lumumba and Teodor Nugema ($1.2 billion fortune, while his Equatorial Guinean people survive on $1.50 a day)got their money by stealing women's handicraft money?
No baby, it's the big cheques from western democracies that they relish.

Posted by: Randy at March 29, 2006 12:49 AM"you picked up on the corruption mentioned and missed out on the complexity. Even the roundtable participants you quote have more nuanced views of the African situation than your own."
More leftist twaddle. Introduce "complexity" and "nuanced" into anything from aid to healthcare and we'll all run around in tangents of blame and explanation for why things don't work.
If it's broken, fix it. If it can't be fixed, even with nuance and complexity, give it up.
Bigcitylib's attitudes here go a long way to explaining liberal's viewpoints on women in general. Pam is the kind of lady Bigcitylib would like to see running for office, right BCL?
She'd do well in the Liberal Party I am sure. Why don't you approach her? Perhaps talk her into running for Liberal leadership. That way you could get to know her better, and then, well who knows? Perhaps you could prove to her what a man you are? (snicker) :O(
And Bono Vox gets the goal!
Another irrelevant product of the promotion machine. He/U2 stopped making decent music about 20+ years ago.
Glad he found his 'purpose'.
Posted by: Lew at March 29, 2006 1:51 AMLet's not forget that Morrissey (ex of the Smiths) has boycotted Canada during his current tour, in support of the 'cause'.
Let's all band together as Canadians to prevent this monster from sending us into a recession.
Posted by: Lew at March 29, 2006 1:57 AMWell on the whole Africa question, it is obvious that there is a bunch corrupt bullshit that has happened over the last number of decades.
Civil war in Lesotho didn't stop them from building a dam. Hell my father had howitzer shells flying over his house, but he didn't pack up and leave. Except of course when the armoured columns came packing a bit of heat; but that was only for five days.
When I emailed back then, he suggested it was just like WWII, so it wasn't too distressing for him. I suggested perhaps they weren't paying him enough and he should have had a danger pay clause in his contract.
His neighbour got whacked by a bunch of thugs who drove up one afternoon and pumped him full of bullets. Apparently, his neighbour didn't support the right political party.
In short, shit will inevitably happen; but invariably hope floats. When bad stuff happens in your life, do you pack up your marbles and leave?
But then we've had enough idiots trying to put us in the graveyard for the last five generations; so perhaps we spot them a little quicker.
Posted by: Hans Rupprecht at March 29, 2006 2:35 AMFirst, with regards to "performers" such as Bardot, Pam, Bono, Morrissey and the McCartneys for that matter, let me use the dismissive line I always resort to when actors (eg, Charlie Sheen and Alec Baldwin) start blathering away on "issues":
"Actors - they're so cute! And they do say the darndest things."
Here in London, there has been a motley little protest outside our High Commission.
What I'd like to know is why there is also no big protest down on Haymarket at the New Zealand High Commission. New Zealand is the biggest supplier of "spring lamb" on the planet.
Surely lambs are no less cute than seal pups?
Posted by: JJM at March 29, 2006 2:45 AMRe Africa & NGOs
Someone up the thread said the African despots just want the western cheques - and you're right. Foreign aid handed directly from gov't to gov't generally tends to end up in a Swiss bank account (or a good portion of it). NGOs like World Vision and Foster Parents go directly to the people needing help, which is why the CPC policies I've seen focus MORE on NGOs than useless black holes like the CIDC.
Posted by: Candace at March 29, 2006 3:23 AMAnd here's a thought on celebrities and the "seal hunt":
Apparently, sealing is a $17 million industry in Newfoundland that involves anywhere from 2500 to 4000 sealers seasonally.
$17 million.
According to a BBC article, Sir Paul McCartney is worth about $1.4 billion.
$1.4 billion.
Instead of photo ops of himself and his dotty anti-dairy wife on the ice flows, why not simply PAY the sealers NOT to hunt out of his own pocket?
He could handily cover this every year forever based on royalty income alone.
Just a thought...
Posted by: JJM at March 29, 2006 4:25 AMMore sound advice from Hollywood.
Hi. I am a famous Hollywood celebrity. If you are a young girl and are in a situation where you can't get out of having sex. Instead of saying no I don't want to have sex offer a blow job instead.
Jesus Christ. No wonder are kids are so screwed up. Next she will want to meet with Stephen Harper and offer to blow the seal hunters if they stop killing those darling baby seals.
[h/t] NealeNews: Actress SHARON STONE is adamant teenagers should be prepared to engage in oral sex, if it saves from them the dangers of unprotected penetrative sex. The BASIC INSTINCT spends much of her time away from Hollywood working as an activist raising AIDS awareness, and she always carries condoms with her to hand out in a bid to increase safe sex levels. She explains, "I was in the store the other day and I watched a young girl trying on clothes, showing her abdomen. "Her mother was trying to talk to her about not being inappropriately luring. I said, 'Gee that would look much nicer with a camisole under.' "Her mother walked away, and I said to the girl, 'I'd like to give you a two-minute conversation about sex.' "Young people talk to me about what to do if they're being pressed for sex? I tell them (what I believe): oral sex is a hundred times safer than vaginal or anal sex. "If you're in a situation where you cannot get out of sex, offer a blow job. I'm not embarrassed to tell them."
I am more than a little bit fed up with non-Canadians trying to tell us what to do. George Bush & co., Bono, the McCartneys, Bardot... to hell with the lot of them. Let them clean up the war-mongering, rampant racism, destruction of the environment and other home-grown disasters in their own backyards before they utter one more word about Canada.
Posted by: Tony at March 29, 2006 7:16 AMOh yeah, I'm one of the big city Liberal fags.

I know people who can seal meat after bringing the flippers home. I can have a can delivered to your door by next week, after which you can forward it where ever you wish, or enjoy the tasty delight with some veggies and bread.
Heck, if you wish I'll throw in a bottle of moose too.
Let me know.
Posted by: markpeters.ca at March 29, 2006 10:17 AMMcCartney, Bardot and Pam are vacuous washups. Bono does not deserve to be lumped together with them. I haven't heard anything about him jumping into the seal cull foray. Is there something in the news about this?
I don't agree with many of his political views, particularly his backing Paul Martin's political ambitions. However, I believe his efforts to better the lives of African people are genuine. While he as expressed reservations about the Iraq situation, he is on record as saying that he is very impressed by how the Bush administration has honored their word as it relates to African assistance (an indirect slap against Klinton).
As for U2's music, their most recent album, "How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb" is their best in many years. The lyrics are brilliant, the music is excellent (this from a conservative christian's perspective.
Posted by: Mark at March 29, 2006 10:28 AMSo BCL...your point is because Pam is well endowed she should have been allowed to meet with the PM?...not because she had anything intelligent to offer?

So apparently you think that Pammy is pretty hot. Hey, you're entitled to your opinion. If you wish to get close to the experience of actually meeting her, perform the following steps.
Go to your local hardware store and purchase a 5 gallon tub of Dow Corning silicone.
Place 2 large mounds of the stuff on the table in front of you (be creative).
Stare at the silicone and imagine inane conversation.
There ya go, knock yourself out.
You're welcome...
Posted by: Bruce at March 29, 2006 12:29 PMBig City Fag. Obviously.
And who's this new troll named Tony? Conservative blogs are becoming like cockroach motels for these insects.
Bono has good intentions and his aim is noble. The problem is the tactic based on the year of Jubilee. Forgiving debt would only teach them to run it up again. What they really need is an investment in education.
The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Posted by: Lew at March 29, 2006 12:39 PMThese bloated bozos might have get a bit more respect if they demanded a meeting with a politico like Lukashenko in Belarus, where
"... Peaceful people were bludgeoned, beaten on the heads, backs, legs. Even young women were mercilessly beaten with gloved fists into their faces. I will long remember the sounds of the agonized screams of one woman caught on videotape ... as she was savagely kicked and beaten with truncheons by a half dozen black-armored special forces agents."
http://www.tcsdaily.com/article.aspx?id=032806F
But, notwithstanding the hardship of being "detained" for 2 hours in what the rest of us think of as a lineup at Customs, the Bardots and Bonos of the world demand a meeting with the prime minister of Canada, where they can also count on the support of a fawning media.
But to travel someplace where people are clubbed for demanding democracy, something these bozos take for granted? It's much easier self-aggrandizing to just protest the seal hunt.

John Lewis:...but my Cod!...the tongues are great! (at least when you can catch 'em).
Good gracious!! With faces like that, there should be a mature rating on this Blog. These leftist Multi-Millionairs & there weepy whining over rodents. Is there no poor, no slavery in Africa? No injustice to Women in Jihadist Nations? Apprently seals who look cute come first in these ossified liberal minds.Grow up you delayed adolesents. Female circumcison is much the more greater horror than a few adult seals being harested mainly to control the species, & our cod by the way.
Anti Semitism is growing faster than rabbits on viagra. I guess to these types, people are less important than there mythologys of species equality. There nutters.(O:}
Essentially these buffons want to convince Seals to start wearing condoms, and become vegan seaweed eaters. They'll properly deposit their excrement in plastic receptacles on the beaches for composting as part of a Lib-Left job creation program, because as we all know shit isn't natural.
What colossal fools, to imagine that seals whose natural predators we have culled and crowded to the point of near extinction, would stop screwing and eating fish like they were going to be eaten by a polar bear, or killer whale later today. This lack of forethought is typical of most "activist" rhetoric from islamic right to screwball animal equal rights left. Because we have crowded the predators of seals out of their rightful place we MUST take their place. It is the only responsible thing to do. Humanity is the apex predator on this planet, the sooner we come to rationalize this and act responsibly in regard to this fact, the sooner we will stabilise our collective environments. After all we are the only predator sophisticated enough to capture and breed our own prey. In fact we are so sophisticated in regards to this that creatures we captured hundreds of generations ago are now so specialised that they cannot survive without us to prey upon them. Certain breeds of sheep for example would become wool-blind within a year and in the wild collectively perish shortly afterwards.

Anderson hosting Juno's
McCartney release of new album
Bardot just because it's her last chance before the end.

Or is that other fool?
Yes lets stop the hunt after all it is the killing of 0.04% of a total 8 million Harp and Hood seals and they are so cute Please.
Posted by: NL-Expatriate at March 30, 2006 10:41 PMIs it funny how few of these high priced types complained when Martin / Chretien were in.
All these stars care about seals in a country that kills 105,000 children each year but killing babies via abortion is ok just don't touch the seals that's immoral, arg.
If bono cared sooooo much about his causes why doesn't he sell some of his gazillions of assets and pay for them out of his pocket. I'm sure for the dough in his and McCartneys pockets they could bribe every seal hunter into retirement. But they don't want to give up on the yacht and their 12 villas scattered about the world.
There's something mental about billionaires who want people who might be earning 20,000 a year to give up their livelihood. Or pay more taxes for Afrika while bono paid over 1000 dollars to fly his hat first class to a concert.

Bono awaits aid pledge
By MARIA BABBAGE
TORONTO (CP) - If Prime Minister Stephen Harper affirms his election promise to boost Canadian foreign aid, the rock star who once sang the praises of his Liberal predecessor might just switch his tune. +

Bardot, Pamela, McCartney should be behind bars. They have millions to spend, why don't they hand
their millions to NFLD and let these people have some of it. In the meantime when those protesters were bugging Stephen Harper the government increased the seal hunt quota. Ha,Ha
