Dang. Why not exile Mo to North Korea?

May chairman Mo stay in China and never be heard from again. If he sticks his head up, shoot it off.

It warms my heart that someone is keeping on strong's tail. My only hope is that that evil Bastard, when he’s brought to justice, it's done so by the Americans as they will see that he gets what he deserves. A truly evil man, a true liberal.

After Iran, Canadians see Israel as biggest threat to peace, poll finds

Iran is the biggest threat to world peace, followed by Israel and North Korea, according to a poll released Friday.

The online poll, sponsored by the Canadian Defence & Foreign Affairs Institute, a think tank, and conducted by the Innovative Research Group, was answered by 2,393 respondents between Wednesday and Friday. The results are accurate to within two percentage points, 19 times out of 20.

The poll, released exclusively to the Ottawa Citizen, presented respondents with six options Iran, Israel, North Korea, Hezbollah, Syria and Lebanon. About 26 per cent of respondents said Iran presented the greatest danger while 20 per cent picked Israel, placing the Jewish state ahead of North Korea with 19 per cent.

Another 15 per cent said Hezbollah, while only one per cent pointed to either Syria or Lebanon. About 18 per cent said they didn't know.
...
Respondents were also asked whether Hezbollah's attacks on Israel justified Israel's actions. The pollsters asked the following question: "The fighting in the Middle East started after Hezbollah's sudden attack on Israeli soil, killing eight and capturing two. Given this information, which of the following statements comes closest to your view?"

About 42 per cent said Israel's attacks are not justified, while 37 per cent said they were justified. Another 21 per cent didn't know.

Yes, Steyn is great. His column on the 50,000 Lebanese 'Citizens of Convenience', a concept developed by the Liberals, points out how Canada has essentially set up a 'Call 911 Canada' card.

This card can be purchased for only the payment of immigration and citizenship administrative fees. It requires nothing else of the individual. No commitment, no obligations to the country. No payment of taxes, no residency, no employment in the country's work production. Nothing. So- why has Canada set up such a Call 911 Canada citizenship?

It benefits the Liberal Party, for the majority vote Liberal.

It benefits the Canadian taxpayer - not at all, for these 'Call 911 Canada' cardholders use the phone line only to call up Canada in times of emergency. At this time, they insist on the Canadian taxpayer assisting them, footing the bill, organizing the assistance - completely, immediately, and first class all the way.

The Call 911 Canada card, however, is only useful for vote-large groups. The Liberal Government did absolutely nothing about the Iranian beating death of Mrs. Kazemi. One vote is only one vote. But 50,000 votes - ah, now that's useful.

And the National Post 'Weep for the Victim' article neglects facts in favour of fiction.

Major Huedener wasn't there as a soldier; he wasn't fighting; he wasn't 'in the front lines'; he wasn't bravely writing his Flanders Fields; he was there under the orders of the UN as an observer. Not a military role; a neutral observer.

The fact that Hezbollah was using the UN site to launch missiles - should have been observed. Then, the UN should have, ethically, decided that they should not functionas a useful tool of Hezbollah, should not be used as a launch site - and the UN should have left.

Mark has been a columist in McLefts for some time.

they see it as balance. Mark Steyn balances the right exactly with the 50 leftist columnists they employ. looks very even to me.

Macleans has been getting better as they hired a new editor. I believe he's one of the orininal editors from the Post under Conrad when it was first launched (you know, when the Post was the greatest newspaper in history...)

Circumpolar MO hiding in China, eh?
Is Canadian Privy Councillor Mo still privy to Canadian state secrets, I wonder.
It really would be interesting to have him testify before the US investigators digging into in the Oil -for-food ( and ammunition) for Saddam's corrupt regime.
They have already put the cuffs on his communist buddy, Mr. Park as a result of that crooked deal.

Kate:

Mark Steyn is scratching his head about who those 50,000 "Canadians" are who are "trapped" in Lebanon. There's a report on "Gates of Vienna" of a heated debate in Denmark about 2,300 "Danish citizens" trapped in Lebanon. Who are they? They are Palestinians who applied for refugee status in Denmark, acquired Danish passports, plugged into the social services system, and moved back to Lebanon while continuing to collect generous social welfare payments from the Danes.

Article entitled: Evacuating Danish Welfare Cheats from Lebanon

Good Post ET: Following was from CQ a few days back regarding a very quietly released Un report on the UNIFIL mission. Kofi had ample warning that peackeepers under his watch were in danger and being used as bait. Not much interest from the MSM though.

28. Control of the Blue Line and its vicinity appears to have remained for the most part with Hizbollah. During the reporting period, Hizbollah maintained and reinforced a visible presence in the area, with permanent observation posts, temporary checkpoints and patrols. It continued to carry out intensive construction works to strengthen and expand some of its fixed positions, install additional technical equipment, such as cameras, establish new positions close to the Blue Line and build new access roads. These measures resulted in a more strategically laid out and fortified structure of Hizbollah’s deployment along the Blue Line. Some Hizbollah positions remained in close proximity to United Nations positions, especially in the Hula area, posing a significant security risk to United Nations personnel and equipment, as demonstrated during the heavy exchanges of fire on 28 May. In letters to the Foreign Minister, dated 23 March, 27 June and 5 July 2006, the Force Commander, General Pellegrini, expressed grave concern about the Hizbollah construction works in close proximity to United Nations positions and requested that the Government of Lebanon take necessary actions to rectify the situation. However, the situation remained unchanged despite repeated objections addressed by UNIFIL to the Lebanese authorities. UNIFIL observed the reconstruction of Hizbollah positions that were damaged or destroyed during the 28 May exchange of fire.

I applaud NDP MP Judy Wasylycia-Leis for introducing Bill C-312, The Breast Implant Registry Act. From Hansard:

Breast Implant Registry Act

Ms. Judy Wasylycia-Leis (Winnipeg North, NDP) moved for leave to introduce Bill C-312, An Act to establish and maintain a national Breast Implant Registry.

She said: Mr. Speaker, I am very pleased to have an opportunity to reintroduce this bill, which I have tried in the past on numerous occasions to get before the House or to suggest to the government that it might want to take it and run with it.

Here I am again trying to convince all members of Parliament to support an initiative that would establish and maintain a national breast implant registry. We want to do this out of the concern of safety, health and well-being of women in the country today. It fills a critical gap in women's health protection by collecting currently unavailable data about implant procedures and data that is needed as a base for informed health based decisions by women and physicians.

bob - what does a breast implant have to do with health?

Mo is heavily into oil, as you are sure to recall... = TG

ET,
I can*t believe you even had to ask. TG

Chairman Mo has a lot more to answer for than a mere million dollar payola he was caught with....there's the Kyoto scheme to divert wealth to communist nations (primarily China) with the multi billion dollar carbon credit trading scam. Then a treasonous plan under Koyoto's industy regulating to handicap western industry and production with environmental controls not placed on China....then there is the multitude of personal projects he ran with public funds like upscale rain forest resorts paid with Ontario hydro funds, or any one of dozens of Chinese infrastructure projects he swung for Powercor with public seed capital from the Powercor-owned PMO.

Frikkin'-eh-right Chairman Mo is "welcome" in China. His sister (the avowed Maoist) was a Chi-com citizen and has a monument to her in Bejing...Mo is likewise an "honorary citizen" bestowed upon him by a greatful communist regime who he enriched by trafficing billions of private western capital into their oligarchial profiteering schemes.

As for Mo's disappearence into China...this is not news...he has had a citizenship and a posh residence in China for over a decade...Before the last election, and after Mo was being persued by US justice, he holed up in Ottawa as an appointed PMO advisor to his pal PM P. Martin hoping to escape extradition to the US under the protection of his pal Martin and as a privileged Canadian government official...when Paul Martin (Mo's Powercor protege) could not hold onto the Liberal-Powercor-PMO cabal in the last election, Mo sold his Ottawa condo and was not seen domestically after he took a flight to Bejing from Canada....now is the time to check if he's draining assets and bank accounts over here to avoid asset seizure if the poop hits the rotating oscillator.

This guy has left such a long smelly slime trail I don't understand why some folkies like Gordon Lightfoot don't imortaize thei great Canadian pismire and pen a trilogy to his monumental sleaze....say "Bejing bound" or "bitter(old) green" or "the wreck of the Kyoto accord"

No more rockin' in the free world for Chairman Mo.

Mystery Meat:

Regarding those 2,500 Lebanese holding Danish passports, one of them is the imam who went on a world tour with the Evil Mohammed Cartoons (tm)trying to inflame Muslims.

So you see he left the country because he was all pouty over the cartoons, but then he put in a 911 to Denmark when he needed his backside saved.

In other news, Tarek Fatah of the Muslim Canadian Congress is stepping down. Seems he's been getting threats for years from his fellow Muzzies who find Tarek a little too liberal, and now he fears for the safety of his family.

Michael Coren has been mentioning these threats for years - Fatah regularly gives Coren a peek at his emails.

Police say lawyers use status to aid Mafia
'Astounding' misuse of Canadian legal system without precedent, new book suggests

Allison Hanes, National Post
Published: Thursday, August 03, 2006

Police suspect a handful of practising lawyers play an indispensable role in the dealings of Canada's most notorious crime family, protecting sensitive meetings from police scrutiny with their mere presence, and even subscribing to cellphone numbers for mobsters in order to thwart police eavesdropping, a new book reveals.

In fact, according to police, the organization of reputed Mafia don Vito Rizzuto has a special "lawyers' branch" that is considered by police to be "one of its most protected, secretive and valued divisions," the book says.

Warwick, re Mclean's relatively 'new' editor, you're right: "he's one of the original editors from the [National] Post under Conrad when it was first launched." That was in the good old days, when I didn't mind paying for a newspaper. These days, there might be one or two articles in four or five sections that are worth reading--and none, of course, in The Star. As a friend of mine used to say when a certain rag appeared in his mailbox, "Why am I getting this? I don't own a bird."

As usual, Mark Steyn hits the nail on the head. And, as usual, this Canadian who is a numero-uno, consistently brilliant, political commentator, is featured in only two Canadian media outlets that I know of: Mclean's and The Western Standard. Nice play, Canada.

The Canadian MSM are obvioulsy afraid of him, for good reason. If they gave him free rein, he'd tear them to shreds on a regular basis, hold a savage mirror up to them by telling the truth, and nothing but the truth, about the Librano$, Mo Strong, Paul Desmarais (who's also been instrumental in Mo's rise to worldly weatlth and power) and all the other power players and hangers on that act as cholesterol in our body politic.

Here's what he had to say in February 2005 about Canada's puppet master/kingmaker, Paul Desmarais who's son is married to Jean Chretien's daughter, France, amongst other connections:

"...there has indeed been a Canadian making a difference in the world-and if The National wanted to do a 133-part special report on him, for once they’d have enough material. Most of us know Paul Desmarais as the . . . [those ellipses in original] well, let’s hold it there: most Canadians don’t know Paul Desmarais at all. You could stop the first thousand people walking down Yonge Street and I’ll bet no one would know who he is. But the few who do know him know him as the kingmaker behind Trudeau, Mulroney, Chrétien and Martin. Jean Chrétien’s daughter is married to Paul Desmarais’s son. Paul Martin was an employee of M. Desmarais’s Power Corp., and his Canada Steamship Lines was originally a subsidiary of Power Corp. that M. Desmarais put Mr. Martin in charge of. In other words, Paul Martin’s public identity–successful self-made businessman, not just a career pol, knows how to meet payroll, etc.–is entirely derived from the patronage of M. Desmarais.

"Imagine if Jenna Bush married the chairman of Halliburton’s son, and then George W. Bush was succeeded by a president who’d been an employee of Halliburton: Michael Moore’s next documentary would be buried under wall-to-wall Oscars and Palmes d’Or. But M. Desmarais has managed to turn Ottawa into a company town without anyone being aware of the company. .. Power Corp.’s other alumni range from Quebec premiers to Canada’s most prominent international diplomat, Maurice Strong. In fairness, you don’t have to work for M. Desmarais to reach the top of the greasy pole-Kim Campbell managed it, for about a week and a half.

"...we’re in the middle of the UN Oil-for-Fraud investigation, the all-time biggest scam, bigger than Enron and Worldcom and all the rest added together. And whaddaya know? The bank that handled all the money from the program turns out to be BNP Paribas, which tends to get designated by Associated Press and co. as a “French bank” but is, as it happens, controlled by one of M. Desmarais’s holding companies [well, technically it IS a French bank--a French Canadian bank]. That alone should cause even the droopiest bloodhound to pick up a scent: the UN’s banker for its Iraqi 'humanitarian' program turns out to be (to all intents) Saddam’s favourite oilman."

Dynamite. Where's the BANG??

Mark's just too much of a kick-ass, straight shooter to ever be persona grata in Canada. Too darn bad, because he's bar-none the BEST political commentator anywhere.

Hey Kate, how about a blog essay titled, The Draft Dodgers and the Doukabours?

Large numbers of American draft dodgers and cohorts, from Berkley and Boston and Ithaca have been active in Canadian schools, libraries, politics and culture, in ways that over the course of the years has influenced Canada disproportionately.

Mississauga Matt: just read that article about Tarek Fatah in the G&M as well. Seems the practitioners of the "Religion of Peace" can be provoked to death threats and assaults even by those who've converted to it or were in it all along. If any further proof were needed that there is nothing one can do in a western liberal democracy to appease said practitioners of the ROP, surely this is it. But I'm sure the appologists will ignore this episode or rationalize it away.

Mark is the only journalist I have never disagreed with other than movie reviews.

Fjordman has an excellent essay on the Nanny State over at Gates of Vienna:

tinyurl.com/gfhef

Oh my G*d, as if Mo Strong and company weren't enough to ruin your day, here comes David Suzuki.

There were so many factual errors (in the dissing of Christianity alone) in his '80s series "A Planet for the Taking" (which is into another incarnation?) that it makes one wonder how many other half-truths and outright falsehoods he was able to pass off as fascinating and cutting-edge "facts"? The CBC ran this series for years and many boards of education across Canada bought it for viewing in countless classrooms across the country. David Suzuki became a guru to undiscerning teachers and students and is revered as a "scientific saint" across the land.

The guy's a shameless and brazen self-promoter who, like Mo Strong and co., has lots of friends in "high" places like the CBC. He's done very well for himself and there never seems to be an end to his inventiveness in fleecing the Canadian taxpayer when it comes to financing his projects--and finding buyers for them.

And just like so many other high-power Canadians' kids who've hopped on the Canadian media/broadcasting gravy train, his daughter Severn has had quite a checkered and privileged career, beginning at the age of 12 at the first Kyoto Summit in Rio De Janeiro in 1992. Here's what Wikipedia has to say about her:

"Cullis-Suzuki is an environmental activist, speaker, television host, and author. Born in 1979 to Canadian geneticist and famed environmental activist David Suzuki, she received a B. Sc. in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology from Yale University in 2002. She has spoken around the world about environmental issues, urging listeners to define their values, act with the future in mind, and take individual responsibility.

"In 1992, at the age of 12, Cullis-Suzuki raised money with some schoolmates to attend the Earth Summit in Rio De Janeiro, where she received a standing ovation for a speech to the delegates. ['Wonder if Mo Strong was in the audience? 'Wonder if he had anything to do with financing her trip?]

"In the spring of 2002, Cullis-Suzuki helped launch an Internet-based think-tank called The Skyfish Project. She is a member of Kofi Annan’s Special Advisory Panel, and as such she and members of the Skyfish Project brought their first project, a pledge called the 'Recognition of Responsibility," to the UN World Summit in 'Johannesburg in August 2002.

"Cullis-Suzuki has hosted a number of television programs, including Suzuki's Nature Quest, a children's television series that aired on the Discovery Channel in 2002. In 1993, Doubleday published her Tell the World (ISBN 0385254229), a 32-page book of environmental steps for families."

Quite the curriculum vitae. Her orbit, like her father's, seems to favour big-bucks, high-profile globe trotting: a speech at the Rio De Janeiro Earth Summit; a member of Kofi Annan's Special Advisory Panel; an environmental activist, speaker, television host, and author. She travels all over the world, spreading the "Suzuki Environmentalist Doctrine," and because of the Suzuki moniker has a lot of people, no doubt, hanging off her every word.

Bob, this is from the website you named, on how polling is done...there is no indication this poll on the survey of Canadians on countries that present the greatest danger is done any differently.

cdfai.org/PDF/Afghan%20Mission%20Poll.pdf

And how do you suppose they conduct those surveys...in their own words, more or less?

Those who even know of this group are asked if they want to join what they call the "Canada 20/20 Panel".

They then complete an enrolment survey (cute huh).

But, they note that the base sample is "recruited through the Innovative's telephone survey.

And their *core analysis* is based on those who respond to e-mail *invitations*.

Sounds exactly like the kind of survey we would tend to question, those who are thinking about honest random polls, anyway;)

"Lebanese witnesses silenced by opposition
August 3rd, 2006 by Darcey

"The Canadian Coalition for Democracies issued a statement today condemning what they call the silencing of witnesses at the Foreign Affairs Committee discussing Canada’s middle east policy and the evacuation of Canadians from Lebanon.

"The subject matter for the hearing was specifically Lebanon, yet Opposition MPs passed a procedural resolution that effectively denied all Lebanese witnesses the right to speak. These witnesses included people with family members in the southern war zone of Lebanon and those directly affected by the evacuation. The Opposition used a procedural motion to silence these voices. As a result, Opposition MPs, with no first hand knowledge of the situation, were able to criticize the government without fear of contradiction from Lebanese witnesses or by CIDA and the Red Cross who were directly involved in the evacuation and humanitarian effort.

"CCD strongly condemns Alexa McDonough and other Opposition MPs for excluding Lebanese, CIDA and Red Cross voices with first-hand experience on the situation in Lebanon from providing testimony to a committee whose mandate was specifically the tragic situation in Lebanon."

Hezbollah’s violent ideology hits Montreal streets
Judeoscope ^ | August 2, 2006 | Peter Subissati

As tensions have risen significantly over the last few weeks between Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon and Israel, many Montrealers, myself included, have grown accustomed to the spontaneous anti-Israel rallies that have taken place along the main thoroughfares in downtown Montreal.

(Video excerpted from CBC footage aired on July 30, 2006. (launch by external player)Most media reported that the rally had been peaceful.)

This Sunday was no exception, as the situation in the Middle East escalated a notch after an IDF-guided missile missed a Hezbollah weapons cache in the southern Lebanese town of Qana, hitting a home where over 50 civilians had taken refuge. Many in Montreal’s Lebanese Shia community were hardened by the loss of dozens of children in the botched strike, and assembled at Dominion Square, opposite the Israeli consulate where a rally took place early in the afternoon. What followed was a spontaneous procession of some 3,000 people that spilled onto Peel St. before proceeding onto Ste. Catherine St., which became gridlocked as a result of the pedestrian traffic.

Onlookers such as myself were taken aback by odious chants directed at Israel, the United States and the Harper administration. Supporters of Hezbollah, which has been designated a terrorist group by the federal government since 2002, branded pictures of their spiritual leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah, as well as a surprising number of the group’s infamous yellow flag that depicts a hand clasping a Kalashnikov machine gun. Meanwhile some of the protesters hoisted other posters that showed the mangled corpses of Lebanese civilian victims under the banner “made by Israel”, while others wearing kaffiyehs displayed a large Israeli flag that was defaced with a swastika painted over the Star of David.

After having heard countless cries of “death to Israel”, “vive le Hezbollah” and once in Arabic “death to the Jews”, I addressed some of the protesters by shouting back “am Yisrael chai” (the people of Israel live) and “shalom aleichem” (peace to all). The incident then turned violent when a fanatic ran up to me suddenly, punching and strangling me quickly as I fell onto a parked car on Ste. Catherine St. As the attacker was restrained and ushered away I then yelled “Are you crazy? This is Canada, so act civilized like everyone else watching you.” The unknown assailant was then reintroduced by protest-organizers into the crowd to avoid detection by the numerous members of the media and policemen who had witnessed the assault. Other disgruntled anti-Israel protesters then attempted to enter my place of work where I sought refuge yelling “Jewish pig” and “down, down Israel” as police and bystanders sealed the entrance briefly, preventing the mob from breaking the storefront.

Sunday’s anti-Israel rally was another sad example of how the hateful and violent ideology of Hezbollah thrives in Canada despite attempts to outlaw the terrorist organization domestically. Montreal police must enforce existing anti-terror legislation with more vigor, or sadly this may be the beginning of more violent protests to come ...-

1) Mush:

'TO shape a coherent approach to our role in the world means finding a way to encompass and utilize the advantages that this 21st-century diverse cultural reality provides in the way of added perspectives, connections, and relationships while forging ways to reconcile the differences and meld the rich but complex mix into a coherent set of values that can replace St. Laurent's formulation without foregoing his basic intent that "we thus have a useful part to play in world affairs, useful to ourselves, through being useful to others."..'

2) Madness (in light of the August 1 Commons foreign affairs commitee fiasco on Lebanon and the May 17 Commons debate on Afstan):

'...broaden the participation of Canadians from all backgrounds by giving Parliament, as the legitimate representative institution in our democracy, an enhanced role in setting the mandate of our international engagements. Add to that the need for ongoing parliamentary review of our international initiatives, a broader role in monitoring our intelligence and security activities, and a dedicated responsibility to involve the public in a continuous series of open hearings and educational exchange on the emerging global risks facing Canadians.

Isn't it exceedingly strange that on a matter seen as so vital by so many Canadians as the Middle East crisis that Parliament is on summer holidays?..'

Just over at Dust My Broom some very interesting reading regarding the CCD & Queen of the Left: Alexa, Liberal & Bloq managed to not hear the people that were directly involved in Lebanese Plight to get out. The CCD has issued quite a news release, But how many news agencies will publish it.
The left in parliment is so cow bent on true democracy why did they not let these people speak to the committee?
Why? so they could play there propoganda game to belittle PM Harper & foreign affairs minister MacKay, did it work? Only if we remain silent, let these people be heard. Mind you though Peter MacKay did a pretty good job of giving it back to the opposition With both Barrels.
Well Done Peter

Rick Dykstra, M.P.For St. Catharines, ON, Requesting Explanation Regarding Motion Passed By Foreign Affairs Committee

From: "Dykstra, Rick - M.P."

To: McDonoughA@parl.gc.ca

August 3, 2006
Dear Ms. McDonough;

I wish to register my strenuous objection to an August 1st motion passed by opposition members of the House of Commons' Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development.

The motion to which I refer and which you spearheaded, prevented Mr. Elias Bejjani, chairman of the Canadian Lebanese Coordinating Council (LCCC) and the Canadian Lebanese Human Right Federation (CLHRF), from speaking during the Committee's Hearing Session on the government's Middle East policy and the evacuation of Canadians from Lebanon.

Mr. Bejjani represents the interests and viewpoints of thousands of Lebanese-Canadians and his input at this hearing would have been informative to committee members. As Mr. Bejjani was accepted as a speaker by the Clerk of the Committee, I would like an explanation as to why he and others of similar viewpoints were prevented from delivering testimony.
I look forward to your response.
Regards, Rick Dykstra, M.P. St. Catharines, ON

LCCC Press Release-Wednesday, 2 August, 2006

The LCCC, an umbrella organization for six non-profit Lebanese Canadian groups, strongly condemns the undemocratic political tactics that the Opposition Liberal, NDP and Bloc Quebecois parties executed yesterday during a hearing session for the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development.

The session was initiated by the Opposition parties to challenge the Conservative government’s Middle East policy and the evacuation of Canadians from Lebanon.

Several groups and individuals applied to be witnesses and were accepted by the Clerk of the Committee.

These witnesses traveled to Ottawa from across the country, but were unjustly prevented from delivering their statements.

Among them was Mr. Elias Bejjani, LCCC Chairman and the Canadian Lebanese Human Right Federation (CLHRF) Spokesman, (a member in the LCCC coalition).

It is astounding that although the hearing pertained to Lebanon, Opposition MPs deemed it appropriate to silence Lebanese witnesses. To read the statement (in Arabic, French and English) that Mr. Elias Bejjani had prepared but was prevented from delivering [go here]

Out of the Fair and Balanced Reporting - NOT Dept:

CBC correspondent Adrienne Arsenault's interview with Israeli spokesperson Isaac Herzog.

w's.cbc.ca/news/background/middleeast-crisis/transcript-arsenault-herzog.html

All I can say is I'm glad Mr Herzog is a gentleman because I would have slapped the biotch. No picture but I'm sure Arsenault was wearing a palastinian headdress. The shareholders of CBC should be embarassed. Aljezeera could have done a more balanced interview.

Suzuki's praise of Castro extravaganza was at least 20 minutes of clever Cuban vegetable gardening advancements in science, like, "Composting is good", and "since nobody can afford fertilizer , they use manure".
Wow, slow down with the incredible cutting edge science Dave!
He also glowingly remarked that the vegetable garden slaves make twice as much as doctors.

I guess professor commie couldn't figure out which way the rafts are going?

I managed to watch some of that CPAC broadcast of the foreign affairs committee and the Queen of Left's hijinx. Did you know she called to hear from the witnesses... hours after they had been dismissed? Classy Dipper move.

Oh yeah, favor vs favour depends on which side of the 49th you were educated on. And also directly proportional to the reach of Sister Mary Whatever's yard stick. Ouch!

This is from today's lead editorial in the National Post - http://tinyurl.com/gxq9q

"Good for Peter MacKay. It is not every politician who would go so far as to call the terrorist group Hezbollah "a cancer on Lebanon," as our Foreign Affairs Minister did Tuesday before a House of Commons committee. And Mr. MacKay was right, too, to pledge that Canada will support no Middle East ceasefire that does not include the disarmament of Hezbollah, on the basis that a cessation in fighting "cannot be a temporary solution to allow for the rearmament of a terrorist body." His remarks were the latest examples of the Conservative government's principled stance in current hostilities -- a far cry from the Liberals' feckless feigned neutrality. ...

"The Liberals are still at it, too. While complaining for nearly a month about the pro-Israel stance taken by Stephen Harper's government, they voted Tuesday with the other opposition parties not to hear witnesses from the region after Mr. MacKay finished his 90 minutes of testimony before the Commons foreign affairs committee. Many of the witnesses were expected to be critical of Hezbollah and complimentary of Conservative efforts to extract Canadian citizens from the war zone. But rather than risk having their "neutral" stance revealed as a naive or biased one, the Liberals worked with the NDP and Bloc to silence witnesses who had seen what is truly going on in this war."

Re the condemnation of the silencing of witnesses at the Foreign Affairs Committee discussing Canada’s middle east policy and the evacuation of Canadians from Lebanon on the part of the Liberal, NDP, and Bloc Opposition parties:

Why would they refuse to hear Lebanese witnesses?

Not only might these Lebanese witnesses have exposed their exploitation at the hands of Hezbollah, they might also have blown the whistle on the reason why so many Lebanese have Canadian passports, even though they were not living in Canada and had no intention of ever living in Canada.

In other words, maybe Canadians would have found out how easy it was for non-Canadians, who had no intention of either living in Canada or supporting our democracy and paying taxes, were able to obtain Canadian passports which allowed them to vote in our elections and then to be evacuated to our country when hostilities began in their country-of-choice, all at Canadian taxpayers’ expense, and all under the auspices of the Librano$’ lax, lenient, “diverse and tolerant” immigration policies.

It is difficult to fathom why the Librano$, Dipper$, and the Bloc prevented eye-witness reports from people who actually saw and experienced what was happening in Lebanon at the time of the evacuation of thousands to Canada unless they have something to hide or something they don't want the Canadian public to know.

I would have thought that, as MPs, their mandate would be to encourage freedom of speech and transparency, especially when their stated objective was to collect information about the tragic situation in Lebanon.

Who do the Bloc, Liberal, and NDP members of this committee think they are?

Canadian Democracy is broken.

Since there's been mention of Castro, Mark Steyn, and Trudeau, here's what Mark Steyn wrote about Trudeau's funeral in comparison to that of Reagan:

Monday, 28 June 2004
Mark Steyn

... No sooner had Ralph Goodale warned that Canada would become a “colder” country under the Conservatives than Paul Martin upped the ante. As the Canadian Press reported: “Canada would become a ‘smaller,’ less generous country if it fell into the hands of the Conservatives, Liberal Leader Paul Martin warned Friday.”

The Grits seem to be doing their own instant re-make of The Day After Tomorrow, the hilarious eco-doom blockbuster in which (if you don’t want the plot given away, skip the next bit) Dick Cheney causes an environmental catastrophe that flash-freezes New York City and half the lower 48. In the Liberal party re-make--The Day After June 28th--Stephen Harper’s tax cut brings on a disaster that leaves a smaller, colder Canada shivering on a shard of ice in Queen Maud Gulf.

Well, it could happen, I suppose. But right now Stephen Harper would have his work cut out making Canada any smaller than it is after a decade of Liberal rule under a prime minister who couldn’t leave a legacy even if he put every Quebec advertising agency on the payroll to produce an ad for one. Which, come to think of it, he pretty much did.

On the day Mr. Martin issued his warning, President Reagan’s memorial service was held in Washington. Sitting alongside each other directly behind the Reagan family were Mikhail Gorbachev, Margaret Thatcher and, ahem, Brian Mulroney. For purposes of comparison, at the Trudeau funeral it was Jimmy Carter, Fidel Castro and Najib Zerouali, minister of scientific research for Morocco, a nation renowned for its scientific research.

It may be that posterity has not yet rendered its final judgment. It may be that malaise, inflation, moral equivalence and communism will come back into style, in which case the Trudeau guest list will look like la crème de la crème. But ...

Excerpt: "It is important to note that there is a very big struggle between Iran and Saudi Arabia, a struggle that has its roots in the differences between the Shiite and the Sunni confessions dating back to the assassination of the grandson of the Prophet, Hussein ibn Ali by the Sunnis in Karbala’ which is now in Iraq (around the 7th century AD)It is also important to note that throughout the Lebanese Civil war, many Lebanese militias and groups were supported by the different countries listed above, and finally that the war was actually an extrapolation of the Cold war that opposed at the time the two super powers, namely USA and the USSR."

richfisher,
I saw the Suzuki propaganda piece as well. His Cuba's nothing like the one I saw. Did you notice he never mentions the _destination_ of that bountiful, agrarian harvest? Likely, nearly all goes to export or to the resorts. The Cubans I worked with didn't get it (nor did I).

I did some (Company) work in an eastern province, far from those showcase gardens around Havanna. I saw no communal gardens. I saw a dirty industrial city where everything from food, to cooking fuel, to toilet paper and soap are rationed. I worked with some smart, proud Cubans that survived the 'Special Period'. An unforgiveable euphemism.

N.B. Before unloading on me for 'supporting the dictator', (Company) vastly improved conditions there. The Cuban govt ensures all remain 'equal citizens'.

Hezbollah Terrorists in America
CBN ^ | July, 2006 | Dale Hurd

CBNNews.com – (CBN News) - The leader of Hezbollah has declared America the enemy. Many Arabs and Muslims in America openly support Hezbollah.

Is this treason?

Is this a potential threat to our safety?

Several thousand people marched through the Detroit suburb of Dearborn a few weeks ago, chanting "Hezbollah" and holding up photos of Hezbollah leader Sheik Nasrallah and posters comparing President Bush to Hitler.

Similar protests took place in San Francisco, New York, and other cities.

The U.S. government calls Hezbollah a terrorist organization, but don't tell that to these Americans.

Osama Siblani publishes the Arab-American News, the largest Arab-American newspaper in the United States. He said, “No, They are not terrorists. Absolutely not. No. They are freedom fighters.”

He told the Chicago Tribune that if the FBI wants to go after Hezbollah supporters in Dearborn, "…they better bring a fleet of buses. I, for one, would be willing to go to jail."

Hezbollah is an Iranian creation, and although it has a measure of independence, it's considered Iran's proxy army in southern Lebanon. As many as 15,000 of Dearborn's Arabs come from the Hezbollah stronghold of Bint Jbeil, Lebanon.

In fact, the current mayor in Bint Jbeil, Haj Ali Bazzi, is from Dearborn. He has an American passport and a Michigan driver’s license.

The dominant Islamic leader in Dearborn is Mohammed Ali Elahi, an Iranian-American whose Web site displays photos of Elahi with Hezbollah spiritual leader Sheikh Fadlallah and former Iranian President Rafsanjani, who once suggested nuking Israel.

He spoke with CBN News terrorism expert Erick Stackelbeck.

“We need to have another interview,” said Elahi, “of talking about Hezbollah – whether that is a terrorist organization or not. I know that, legally, in the U.S. now, Hezbollah is on that list. And whether we agree with the law or disagree, we have to follow the law of the land.”

Before 9-11, Hezbollah killed more Americans than any other terrorist group: 300 murdered in six separate attacks, including 243 Marines in the 1983 Beirut barracks bombing. Now, with America's building confrontation with Iran over its nuclear program, the New York Post reports that Hezbollah is prepared to activate terrorist sleeper cells in New York, Los Angeles, Boston, and Detroit. ...-

I believe Steyn is a Canadian living in Vermont. Glass houses, etc. etc.

I believe you are misrepresenting Mr. Steyn's situation, James. But since you brought it up, if you want to defend your position, perhaps you could do some research and determine (1) what country is he a citizen of, (2) what country does he pay taxes in, (3) what countries does he have residences in, and (4) what are the over a dozen publications that publish him? Perhaps, after that, we could discuss stowing thrones.

"Why do otherwise intelligent people perpetuate this myth? It wouldn't matter if the US exerted every ounce of its being. It would not matter if Israel went back to the 1967 borders or even to the 1948 borders. Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, most likely Syria, certainly the Islamic fundamentalist world, would not regard this as in any way acceptable."

Notorious pedophile Peter Whitmore was told in writing by the RCMP on the day he surrendered that the force would “recommend” Crown prosecutors not seek a dangerous offender application, which could keep him in jail for the rest of his life

The secret deal was only a recomendation. Frank Quennel (Sask. justice minister) has stated that as recommendation (on Gormley I believe), it can easily be ignored and commends the RCMP for using whatever means they could to end the stand off. The implication from the Crown is they will accept the deal and promptly dismiss it in their deliberations, and good work RCMP for doing what was neccessary to defuse a dangerous situation without harm to anybody.

While it may only be a reccommendation, we can register our disgust by writing the Minister of Justice. Which I did with a cc to Harper and my MP.

The Taliban Terminator: Brit Sniper gets 39

The Sun (UK) ^ | 4th August 2006 | VIRGINIA WHEELER
A BRITISH sniper waging war on the Taliban is so deadly he has earned a chilling nickname — The Man Who Never Misses. The unerring Army sharpshooter has killed 39 rebel fighters single-handedly. His marksmanship is so lethal that rumours have spread like wildfire through insurgents’ camps, causing panic and confusion. The sniper — who The Sun is not naming to prevent him becoming a target himself — is a member of elite 3 Para. Described by sources as “the best shot in the Army” he is responsible for over five per cent of the 700 insurgents killed by Paras...
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1677875/posts

Maz2, isn't it interesting that even the Brit MSM will keep a sniper's identity a secret but over here on this side of the pond they have names, hometowns and pictures of the Canadian snipers. Sure makes it easier for the Taliban to find.

Major Huedener wasn't there as a soldier; he wasn't fighting; he wasn't 'in the front lines'; he wasn't bravely writing his Flanders Fields; he was there under the orders of the UN as an observer. Not a military role; a neutral observer.

Just watched the repatriation ceremony for Major Hess von Kruedener. Didn't see any UN there. I did see a Canadian military Guard of Honour and a Canadian widow.

Seems as though the Liberal party is smarting from self-inflicted wounds.

I've seen advertizements for "Habitats for Humanity" on CBC and the History channel. That is Mo Strong's 'bee hive vision' for all people - to live in cells and work for the 'elites'. CBC should be SHUT DOWN right now and that so called History Channel is a disgrace to all the people in the documentaries it shows. People of this nation gave their lives, sons, daughters, dads, to fight for the freedom of others? Why is our History channel advertizing the "1984" nightmare puke (MO the Pol pot) of the world's human enslavement plan? This country has really gone wacko - defending the Hezbulla killers against an attacked Democracy (Isreal), holding drug infested, olympic games for people who lust only for same sex as their own people - and parading about in digusting attire, condoning pedophiles who kill children's spirits, shut down the right of citizens to speak in a committee for agenda driven reasons, chosing to undermine our soldiers by not supporting them in the mission they have been sent to do by the people of this country, chanting slurs against our friends and defacing the flag of Isreal and U.S.A. while not showing some 'cartoons' that might offend our enemies???? I could go on and on .... then I saw the ad for Mo, Mau, Gorby, Powercorp group etc. ON HISTORY channel!!! SHUT DOWN the TRAITORS - CBC, CTV, and affiliates have got to go - Thank-you Mazz2 for saying it first - it must be said MANY times so that sense returns to the fools (many canadian citizens who actually live here and pay taxes) who have eaten and digested the poison pablem of the loony left wing wackos.

Maz2 is correct about unbalanced librano favoured propaganda. A bit enphatic but justified certainly.

This is a transgression of decent balance in broadcasting for any democracy.

Judging by the demonstrations in Montreal, [and keep in mind, I am an ex-Montrealer], it is my view that most people may not realize that this is a golden opportunity for liberals, N.D.P., Bloc Quebecois and separatists to join demonstrations to make their opponent PM Harper look bad.

75% of demonstrators are just political opponents, while 25% are ex-pat Lebonese and Hezbollah supporters.

So the anti-Israel deomstration is not as strong in Montreal as we all first imangined.
