Kyoto is a Hoax, that is a given. But why is Layton meeting with PM Harper on this matter ?? Could it simply be;

Layton realizes Ontario's Auto Sector would be devastated by Kyoto. So, first make a deal with Harper that controls polution, like a Clean Air Act. Then, forget the Carbon Trading Scam that would send $$s and jobs to Third World Countries.

Win Win Win for Layton. Control polution AND save his Auto Sector jobs AND give the boot to a non-issue. Man-made-global-warming.

Oh, and one more thing. His hard-working NDP men & women can make the Basket-Weaver-Professor-Activist look irrelavant/hoax-vulnerable.

I've copied this from an earlier Reader Tips. Feedback would be really appreciated. (I recently cancelled my 30 year subscription to the Globe and Mail and so don't see John Ibbitson's columns any more. I tend to agree with Joe Molnar, who says he's a Red Tory.) Here's my request:

I keep in touch with Steve Paikin, the host of the new show, The Agenda, at TVO. We've weathered many duels: At the moment, we're on speaking terms.

When I recently challenged the leftist make-up of one of The Agenda's panels, he wrote the following to me, "John ibbitson [of The Globe and Mail] is a conservative. He may not be conservative enough for you, but I think that’s your problem. He’s plenty conservative for the rest of the country. And in my books too. And his books too..."

Do the people at sda think Ibbitson's conservative? Please let me know.

Thanks.

Quebec miffed at Kyoto snub
RHÉAL SÉGUin
Globe and Mail Update

QUEBEC — Forty-five seconds is all Quebec demanded to make its case in support of the Kyoto Protocol on climate change at an international meeting in Nairobi.

But Thursday, the federal government said no, making it clear that in international forums Canada speaks with one voice.

Quebec's unequivocal support of the accord contradicts the position federal Environment Minister Rona Ambrose intends to defend next week at the Nairobi meeting.

“It has been agreed that Canada will speak with one voice in Nairobi and we have ... many common objectives and because of that we must speak with one voice,” she told reporters Thursday in Ottawa. ...-

Putting the Intelligence back into Intelligence.

Top cops cancel appearance
Questions swirl around event host - Firm mistaken for federal agency

The invitations for a "Homeland Security Plenary Session" dinner to be held this month at the Royal York Hotel, came with an emblem of U.S. and Canadian flags crossing a bald eagle, a list of well-known speakers, and a price tag of $250 a plate.

But for some invitees who work or study in North America's intelligence and security field they also came with questions: What is a Homeland Security Plenary Session dinner and what is the Federal Protection Agency that's organizing it?

A call to ex-CIA agent Michael Scheuer, who is one of the speakers for the Nov. 28 dinner, led to more confusion. "I was under the impression it was a federal government of Canada organization. It's not?" asked the former head of the CIA's Osama bin Laden search team when contacted by the Toronto Star.

Both the RCMP's Assistant Commissioner, Mike McDonell, and newly appointed OPP Commissioner Julian Fantino were scheduled at one point to speak, but both have since cancelled their appearances....

Ok think about this
"88 BILLION" is what is estimated to be in tax havens outside Canada.
We can all figure who are at the top of the list.

So again you & me the average joe that gets up everyday & goes to work(not on sunday's for me)to make a living, put food on the table,pay your mortgage/rent,kids education Etc.... & PAYS HIS/HERS TAXES IN CANADA.
You are the ones that are paying for the Rich in Canada, Only to see these Greedy Bas****s move there BILLIONS off shore to avoid paying TAXES.
Enough is Enough

lookout - I fully agree with you. John Ibbitson is NOT a conservative. I repeat - NOT a conservative. He may self-define himself as such, but the policies he promotes are pure Liberalisms. He's devoted to multiculturalism, to bilingualism, to public health care, etc etc.

I'd say he's a romantic, utopian Pearson-Trudeau type. He's appalled by the waste and corruption of the Only Governing Party which is why he's self-defined himself as 'not Liberal', but, his ideological bent is pure brainwashed Liberalism.

Susan Riley, who often appears with Ibbitson on TVO is a more prejudiced Liberal. She's quite open about her personal dislike of Harper, saying the most offensive ad hominem things against him, and her ideology is pure Liberal. Ibbitson is more honest, more agonizingly self-examining and can't agree with her Safe Haven Nature of I Am A Liberal No Matter What. He'll examine the issues - but - he's so thoroughly brainwashed, he can't see the larger history and perspective.

Time For Change In Canada

Iam refering to the Senate,
The Accountability Act has been Gutted By the Liberal Dominated Senate with 150 ammendments.
Nothing will ever get done in Canada as long as you have an Appointed Senate. The current Senate is 64liberal Senators to 23conservative Senators.

They will always hold power in Canada, Unless Canadians wake up to this fact.

Wal-Mart in U.S. lifts ban on 'Christmas'

ET, re Ibbitson, I see him as walking the thin grey line between modern and classic liberalism. Not a conservative for sure but not a dyed in the wool modern liberal either

Posted by: Zip at November 10, 2006 9:47 AM

bryanr - I fully agree; the Senate either goes or is reformed such that it is elected, short term and accountable.

Can you imagine - we, supposedly a democracy, pay for and obey, an undemocratic patronage part of our legislature that can bar the elected will of the people.

JM - good for WalMart. I'm an atheist - but I'm against the denigration of Christmas.

[Sorry about the double post].

Posted by: ET at November 10, 2006 9:47 AM

zip - I think that's his honesty surfacing that enables him to criticize the Liberal party ideology. But I don't see him as a classic small-l liberal; he's too much of a groupie (multiculturalism) etc. He's somewhere, as you point out, in the middle.

By the way, lookout, I thought that was a rather offensive response by Steve Paikin to you.

Top court refuses to hear whether religion can be a murder defence

OTTAWA - The Supreme Court of Canada declined an invitation on Thursday to consider whether Muslim cultural and religious beliefs in ''family honour'' should be taken into account as justification for receiving a lighter sentence for killing an unfaithful wife.

The court refused to hear the appeal of Adi Abdul Humaid, a devout Muslim from the United Arab Emirates, who admitted to stabbing Aysar Abbas to death with a steak knife on a visit to Ottawa in 1999.

In an application filed in the Supreme Court, Humaid's lawyer, Richard Bosada, argued Humaid was provoked by his wife's claim she cheated on him, an insult so severe in the Muslim faith it deprived him of self-control...

...Humaid and Abbas were Canadian citizens who lived in Dubai in 1999...

The Conservative Federal Accountability Act has been essentially gutted by the obstructionist Liberal Senators. Anyone following politics in Canada will know that a change in the way government conducts its affairs needs a complete overhaul.
Only Liberals don't want change. The current Liberal Senators are doing the dirty work at present.
Perhaps now would be a good time for the blogging community to out the obstructionists with a direct assault into the Lib Senators email boxes.
A good place to start is with the chief obstructionist Senator Joe Day

Personally this unhyphenated Canadian will work on something over the weekend for unelected Senator Day to cogitate on.

Great news that off shore money might soon be taxed. I thought that was coming after the Income Trust taxes. Poor Martin, might have to pay taxes to the country he and his cohorts ruined during the past years. As an alternative, maybe our finance minister could order them to pay for all the kyoto credits that are supposed to help us. No one has explained to canadians how buying credits from china will stop greenhouse gas in Canada. And, do those supporting kyoto really know what it is, what are they prepared to give up to lower emissions 20% below 1990 levels. I think they mean that you, not they, change your lifestyle. Three cheers for Wal-Mart. My threat to boycott stores not using Merry Christmas must have done it.

Roger's Fido brand is also running an ad campaign with 'Merry Christmas' spelled out. This is a good turn of events. If this improves the bottom line, which I believe it can, then it can spread.

The death of Political correctness and the multi-cultists, one bullet at a time, driven by good old fashioned greed.

It's a good step towards bringing western culture back. A culture which can defeat Islamic fascism and the Liberal/left self loathers.

You know, if the CPC actually do put an end to the tax avoidance schemes (via offshore tax havens)of the very rich, I just might be able to swallow that Income Trust kick in the pants they gave to all of us small investors and retirees.

INVEST IN WHAT?????

Collectors are buying the "Barbie and Tanner the Dog Playset" as an investment. (The $24 set is already on sale at Target for $12.77.) The set includes Barbie, Tanner the dog with moveable ears, mouth, head and tail, dog bones and biscuits, chew toys, trash can, pooper scooper and some realistic miniature poop. Barbie doll accessory buyers pay big prices for old, tiny items because they are easily lost and become rare. Sunglasses, shoes, gloves, even girdles sell for over $50 each. Which makes us wonder about Tanner's poop. In years to come, will it set a record? We predict the entire Tanner set will go up in price because it is such a strange thing to add to a doll's wardrobe.

Hoax Aware, this is usually far more indicitive of the MSM

Tommy

I went into a public-'ouse to get a pint o'beer,
The publican 'e up an' sez, "We serve no red-coats here."
The girls be'ind the bar they laughed an' giggled fit to die,
I outs into the street again an' to myself sez I:

O it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Tommy, go away";
But it's ``Thank you, Mister Atkins,'' when the band begins to play,
The band begins to play, my boys, the band begins to play,
O it's ``Thank you, Mr. Atkins,'' when the band begins to play.

I went into a theatre as sober as could be,
They gave a drunk civilian room, but 'adn't none for me;
They sent me to the gallery or round the music-'alls,
But when it comes to fightin', Lord! they'll shove me in the stalls!

For it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Tommy, wait outside";
But it's "Special train for Atkins" when the trooper's on the tide,
The troopship's on the tide, my boys, the troopship's on the tide,
O it's "Special train for Atkins" when the trooper's on the tide.

Yes, makin' mock o' uniforms that guard you while you sleep
Is cheaper than them uniforms, an' they're starvation cheap;
An' hustlin' drunken soldiers when they're goin' large a bit
Is five times better business than paradin' in full kit.

Then it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Tommy how's yer soul?"
But it's "Thin red line of 'eroes" when the drums begin to roll,
The drums begin to roll, my boys, the drums begin to roll,
O it's "Thin red line of 'eroes" when the drums begin to roll.

We aren't no thin red 'eroes, nor we aren't no blackguards too,
But single men in barricks, most remarkable like you;
An' if sometimes our conduck isn't all your fancy paints:
Why, single men in barricks don't grow into plaster saints;

While it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Tommy, fall be'ind,"
But it's "Please to walk in front, sir," when there's trouble in the wind,
There's trouble in the wind, my boys, there's trouble in the wind,
O it's "Please to walk in front, sir," when there's trouble in the wind.

You talk o' better food for us, an' schools, an' fires an' all:
We'll wait for extry rations if you treat us rational.
Don't mess about the cook-room slops, but prove it to our face
The Widow's Uniform is not the soldier-man's disgrace.

For it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Chuck him out, the brute!"
But it's "Saviour of 'is country," when the guns begin to shoot;
An' it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' anything you please;
But Tommy ain't a bloomin' fool - you bet that Tommy sees!

Brown:
You miss the point the loss to canada's coffers is substantial the amount in offshore accounts is estimated to be around $88 billion. So it don't matter of what political spectrum you come from in the long run The Canadian Taxpayers pay for these losses.
You must also remember that these shelters were created under Finance Minister Paul Martin's watch.
So therefore these people that hide in offshore accounts are nothing more then Cheats/liars/criminals in my book.(Ooops sorry i think i just described the prior government with that line oh well shoe fits)
Finaly i would take that from your prior remarks that you approve of offshore accounts?

Just sent this to the liberano senator day.

The Conservative Federal Accountability Act has been essentially gutted by the obstructionist Liberal Senators.

The way government conducts its affairs needs a complete overhaul.

The Senate either goes or is reformed such that it is elected, short term and accountable. Its time for you and your cohorts to stand for election in this country.

You were not elected you were appointed by a bunch of people the courts say are crooks. Enough is enough. I refuse to kneel down to the liberano regime.

FREEDOM is our right and I am sick and tired of you and yours continual subterfuge and obstruction in this and all other matters.

I for one will not tolerate your total lack of regard when it come to the voice of the people. You might need to pray that you never have to stand up be voted on, I forsee a long line of former liberano senators in the EI lineup.

More evidence of the outright bias of the mainstream media: today's headline in the Winnipeg Free Press.

"Minister Kicks Wheat Board"

"After first being sure to tie the CWB's hands behind its back, the minister took a few swings at the grain marketer...."

What did he do that was so terrible? He sent an op-ed to all major Canadian newspapers pointing out that there are several studies done by prominent Canadians that challenge the claim of the CWB and its allies that farmers get anywhere from $500 million to $800 million in benefits from keeping a legal monopoly in place, and that these studies deserve a fair hearing.

That constitutes "kicking" the CWB? With every leftist organization in the land endlessly regurgitating the CWB's own propaganda, its hands are in no way "tied".

I posted this on another thread a few days ago.

"Did anyone see former PM Dithers on CBC at the committe hearings where he's trying to get his private members bill passed to force the government to obey the Kelowna Accord.A Conservative was giving him a rough go with his questions which CBCPRAVDA thought was unfair.

The question Martin refused to answer was on what date was the accord signed by the Premiers and other members.Shock upon shock,there is no actual accord signed.Martin said they agreed publicly on television(read phot-op).

So it looks like just another case of Liberal's saying something to get votes,much like kyoto.At least they signed that,they just did nothing after."

Don't you know that a Liberal's word is as good as the paper it's signed on.

Posted by: bryanr at November 10, 2006 4:12 PM

Former Prime Minister Paul Martin is such a horse's ass. His insistence on the reality of the "Kelowna Accord," unwritten, unsigned, and undated--and he's a lawyer, for **** sake--is pure fantastical wishful thinking. No court would uphold such an agreement, so why doesn't he just shut up and go home?

Of course, he doesn't have to go home, seeing as he seems to spend most of his time there, anyway. We haven't seen Mr. Dithers around the House of Commons in months, nor the Liberal Premier of Ontario, Mr. Duh-lton McGuilty.

Librano$, whether provincial or federal, think they can rule from their private thrones; that's one way of making sure the duped public never sees the crown jewels. They're either on the crowned heads of the Librano 'leaders' (sic) or stashed in their offshore safety deposit boxes, undeclared, unseen, and untaxed.

Canada has become rotten to the core, except for the CPC, which is trying to stem the rot and corruption. When you've got an equally rotten, entitled MSM acting as the Official Opposition or, at the very least, championing the talking points of the Librano$, the Dippers, and the Blocheads, it's a slippery, downward slope heading straight into the swamp.

My father and grandfathers were veterans of two world wars. Methinks they're rolling over in their graves.

BTW, lookout, I agree with you and ET. John Ibbitson is not a conservative. He may be more conservative than Susan Riley, but so what? That doesn't make him conservative. Whatever happened to that wonderful commentator from the University of Ottawa, Gilles Pacquet? Now, there's a genuine conservative, and he was easily the most charming, intelligent, and thoughtful commentator on that panel of him, Ibbotson, and Riley.

Bart F.: A letter sent to the Ottawa Sun:

'Bush-league writing

It is impossible to take Michael Harris seriously as a writer on international affairs. In his column, "Bush-league warning" (Nov. 10), he writes of "the Kurds" and "the Arabs" as inhabitants of Afghanistan. Now there are Kurds and Arabs in Iraq. But in Afghanistan there is no significant resident population of Kurds (there may be some 25,000) or Arabs. Perhaps Mr Harris' remorseless opposition to what the US is doing in Iraq, and to what Canada is doing in Afghanistan, has led him to confuse the two countries.

A further indication of Mr Harris' unfamiliarity with the realities of Afghanistan is that, in his naming of various ethnic groups there, he omits the Hazaras and Tajiks--the largest groups after the Pushtuns (though it is not clear which of the two is more numerous in the absence of a recent census). In 1967 some 5,000 Tajiks apparently spoke a dialect of Arabic but even then the number of Arabic speakers was declining.

Wickenheiser [from Shaunavon, Sask.] invites PM to

women's world hockey champ.
By DONNA SPENCER

KITCHENER, Ont. (CP)

...
Harper and the Canadian team were staying in the same Kitchener hotel.

After Harper had his picture taken with the team and was presented with a signed jersey, Wickenheiser recalled that Harper watched a game of the 2004 women's world championship in Halifax when he was a member of Parliament and Opposition leader.

So the captain made her pitch.

"This was totally spontaneous for me," Wickenheiser said following the team practice at Memorial Auditorium. "I thought it would be interesting to see his reaction, which was very good.

"He turned and looked at his aides and said 'Absolutely'. He said he was in Halifax and watched a game, he's a hockey fan and any time he can combine hockey and politics, he would like to do it."

The prime minister's son Ben plays minor hockey in Ottawa, so Wickenheiser believed her invitation would appeal to the hockey dad in him.

"It maybe threw him off a bit. I don't think he expected it," she said. "I thought 'He's a hockey fan. Why not?"'

The native of Shaunavon, Sask., hopes Harper can attend because it would raise the profile of her sport.

"I don't how often he gets to Winnipeg but it would be a boost for women's hockey," she said. ...-

I watched part of "The National" last night for the first time in several months and I thought Rex Murphy had a dynamite commentary including this:

http://www.cbc.ca/national/rex/rex_061109.html

"I had not known until this very day that Don Cherry doesn't have a single civic award of distinction yet, no Order of Canada, no medal of merit. Is this possible? Can there be such a thing as an Order of Canada that doesn't have Don Cherry in it? Has every governor-general of the last 20 years been asleep? Do they not watch "Coach's Corner"? I fear we are not a serious nation. My Order of Canada includes Don Cherry. What about yours?"

I'm with Rex on this. If Canadians in name only like Shania Twain and Celine Dion are members of the Order of Canada, certainly Don Cherry deserves the honour!

DNC Response to Carville [Democrat Civil War!]
The New Republic ^ | November 10, 2006 | Ryan Lizza

Howard Dean spokeswoman Karen Finney emails the following in response to James Carville's comments below:

After the Republicans have admitted to a thumping, why is it that the only one complaining on the Democratic side is
James Carville,

who today in addition to trashing Howard Dean,

praised the RNC, the outfit that brought us the racist ad that defeated Harold Ford, James' supposed candidate for Chair?

Perhaps he's not aware that under Dean in this

midterm election the DNC has raised record cash

--- all hard dollars -- including three times as much from major donors, eight times as much online and made a $30 million investment in the '06 cycle, three times as much as the DNC put into the last midterm. Not to mention we made an $8m overhaul of our voter file which was successfully used in 47 states and through the 50 state strategy invested in states like Pennsylvania, Kansas, Indiana and Montana where we had critical victories on Tuesday.

Daily Kos: what’s with the Israel lobby?

Extract from Daily Kos:


Now that they believe they’re in power, they want to get started on the important things. Like hunting down those sneaky Jews who are corrupting our government.

But to me the biggest issue now is pressing for an open discussion on the State of Israel, and how the Israel lobby influences our elected representatives.I have no idea what is going on behind these closed doors, and I don’t know how to find out. I don’t have an answer for Israelis, but the entire world knows that humiliating occupied people won’t lead to peace or to reconciliation, so more humiliations and killings can’t work. These two ‘warring’ parties won’t be able to make peace until some outside authority mediates and brokers a compromise solution for them, both sides have dug themselves in too deep. Let’s ask for answers to what’s been going on behind our backs, and to the solutions our elected representatives propose. ...-

Technology as Mephistopheles

Chester interviews Dr. Fred Ikle, an Undersecretary of Defense under Ronald Reagan and arms control expert on his book Annihilation from Within. "We are preoccupied with suicide bombers, jihadist terrorists, and rogue nations producing nuclear weapons, but these menaces are merely distant thunder that foretells the gathering storm. It is the dark side of technological progress that explains this emerging crisis." This is a five star quality interview. In terms of its range, naturalness and surprising discovery you will not find a better discussion anywhere.

Wait for the part when Chester asks about Ikle's idea of how increasing life expectancy changes the tone of society because

it reflects the changing emotional seasons of the aging,

and ask yourself if discussions ever get any better than this. ...-

This or any other government will never do anything worthwhile to stop the flow of funds to offshore accounts as it’s almost impossible. There is one way however, reduce taxation, especially in regards to retirees. Once you have pushed someone to the point where they fiddle the government by taking their money offshore you never get those taxpayers back, never. I think most would be stunned to know the real numbers of offshore Canadians and how easy it is to be one. This latest announcement is nothing but a scare tactic by the government to try and stem the flow. I can guarantee you that the vast majority of these offshore Canadians have more that paid their fair share of taxes over their working years. They have just plain and simply had enough when approaching retirement with the prospect of a reduced income and standard of living. Why should anyone have to sacrifice their standard of living just because they retire? They don’t and won’t and never will, get used to it.

As far as catching corporate “cheaters” is concerned that is an even more complicated and useless task. Every exporting country including ours allows this “cheating” to go on, it’s called incentives to the buyer or importing country. A touching the surface example, China gives the buyer of a product a discount that is not recorded on the invoice, that discount is then deposited in an off shore account. Bingo, it’s that easy and it’s done all the time, if not by the government by an independent importer/exporter. And isn’t competition a wonderful thing, what do you think India and Brazil do to compete with China? Maybe a little more incentive?

Can a Prime Minister be schizophrenic about his loyalties?

Which country, France or Canada, has Dion chosen as his home and native land? To which country does Dion have the greater loyalty?

This quote (h/t maz2) helps to put together the connection between Mao and Mo--and comments made by Bob Fife and Craig Oliver on CTV on Friday: "Consumed by his superpower ambition, Mao now wanted to achieve it in 'one big bang.' The Great Leap Forward, he said, would enable China to 'overtake all capitalist countries in a fairly short time, and become one of the richest, most advanced and powerful countries in the world.'

"The plan, he said later, was to set up 'the Earth Control Committee' to 'make a uniform plan for the Earth.'"

Fife and Oliver, on Fridays' Mike Fluffy Live (Jane Taber's still at the helm), were unapologetic cheerleaders for the Librano$ soft policy on China's abysmal human rights abuses. They actually slagged Prime Minister Stephen Harper and the CPC's "serious" challenge to the Chinese about their human rights abuses, and seemed to be saying that China's snub of PMSH, by not yet granting him an interview, was deserved. Like, what would PMSH expect after he "seriously challenged" China's record on human righs?

The Fife/Oliver position was, essentially, that Chretien and Martin had got it right by paying no more than lip service to Canada's concern about China's appalling record on human rights. The Librano approach would ensure Canada's place as a trading partner to China which, next to the U.S., will be our biggest trading partner in the future.

Their take on the CPC seriously challenging the Chinese was that this was, obviously, a foolhardy move on Prime Minister Stephen Harper's part.

I could barely believe what I was hearing. Principles be damned, compromise with a totally corrupt regime full speed ahead--and not only that, praise for the Librano$ for taking this road of least resistance.

Fife and Oliver are brazen dyed-in-the-wool Librano cheerleaders; they talked like full-fledged members of the Librano Party.

'Wonder what the chances are they know Mo Strong?
'Wonder what their financial portfolios look like...Hmmmm...investments, maybe, in Mo's latest toy, the car that's being manufactured in China...????

Not only is Canada's MSM biased; they seem fully entrenched in the policies of a particular political party and are shameless in boosting these policies in so-called "news" stories and interviews.

Isn't that what PRAVDA did?

Tories target offshore tax havens

By Krystle Chow, Ottawa Business Journal Staff
Fri, Nov 10, 2006 8:00 AM EST

Just a few days after the bombshell income trust tax decision, the federal government is targeting offshore tax havens for investigation.

Finance Minister Jim Flaherty said yesterday there was "significant tax avoidance" by Canadians, who put approximately $88 billion in offshore banks in 2003. The number has increased eightfold since 1990.

While using offshore tax havens to avoid taxes is not illegal, Mr. Flaherty noted that the activity is costing the government revenue, just as the income trusts did.

The finance minister introduced a motion in the House of Commons to amend the Income Tax Act, saying: "The motion will amend existing income tax rules to help ensure that income earned by Canadians through foreign jurisdictions, including tax havens, is subject to tax as if it had been earned in Canada."

The amendment would target non-resident trusts and foreign investment entities.

Auditor General Sheila Fraser said multinational corporations have used offshore tax havens to avoid hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes over the past 10 years, with some analysts saying the amount of tax savings to Canadian banks alone is as high as $10 billion.

The most popular locations for these tax havens are Barbados, Ireland, Bermuda, the Cayman Islands, and the Bahamas.

Commenter has no interest, public nor private, in Tax Consulting. ...-

Found on the internet:

"His practice is totally devoted to TAX CONSULTING.

Warning!!!-There are organizations out there

selling offshore tax plans that are not

technically valid and would not stand-up if they

were ever scrutinized by the Canada Revenue Agency.

The people selling these plans are often unqualified, shady, unethical operators

who are just looking to make fees for setting up offshore corporations or trusts.

They do not really care whether those plans work or not-that will be your problem, often years later-they just want to collect the fees!

Often, these people are ethically no different than the psychopathic con artists who fleece millions of dollars from naive senior citizens via telemarketing scams."

Death of a Cash Cow?

Anchor Away!: What's a company to do when it loses its lucrative public-sector anchor client?
National Post

....Donna Cona is the largest Aboriginal-owned technology company in Canada...It has over $10 million in annual revenue and plans to reach $30 million to $50 million in revenue within five years...

...The company...had just been told that its anchor client was cancelling a long-term contract....

...The news was calamitous. The client, a major federal government department, accounted for almost half of Donna Cona's annual revenue of $10 million, and the contract had provided the decade-old company with a secure foundation for growth. Now, all of that was in peril....

...Even if Donna Cona could renew its contract or find a new major client, it would have to accept lower fees and reduced margins....

...many of its first technology projects with the federal government were awarded through the Procurement Strategy for Aboriginal Business, or PSAB...

...it would be difficult to imagine a better customer than the federal government: It spends a hundred billion dollars a year, it hands out massive contracts to small and mid-sized firms, and its accounts payable are backed by no less a power than general taxation....

Mazz, excellent advice on the offshore. It's easy to do but you have to do it yourself and it takes some time. It is set up so you are legally no longer the owner of your assets but control them.

N.C. Candidate Easily Wins County Board Election, Despite Being Dead for a Month

The Associated Press
November 11, 2006

MONROE, N.C. - A candidate for a county board who appeared in newspaper ads the weekend before the election sailed to victory with 12,000 votes despite being dead for a month.

Sam Duncan was the top vote-getter Tuesday for two seats on Union County's Soil and Water Conservation board.

Although county elections officials knew of Duncan's death, no one told the voters.

"We are instructed that it's not our job to do that," said Shirley Secrest, elections director.

The Democratic Party ran newspaper endorsement ads about Duncan and literature distributed near the polls included his name. Party officials said they didn't know Duncan had died.

Former sheriff Frank McGuirt said he was one of the voters who helped Duncan edge out the sitting chairman who had served for about a dozen years.

"I was shocked to know that poor Sam was gone," McGuirt said. "I guess I had just missed that obituary." ...-

Canada: A Tax Haven?

....Whenever I mention to Canadians that I bring people to Canada as a tax haven, they shake their heads in disbelief. After all, Canada has a well-deserved reputation for having some of the highest marginal tax rates amongst the OECD countries. What most Canadians do not realize is that Canada has a well-established regime of tax sheltering to attract new residents that it does not offer to its indigenous population. With proper pre-immigration tax planning, wealthy individuals can move to Canada and avoid income and capital gain tax on their non-Canadian source income and capital gain producing assets....

In particular, we need to help people envision what the world would look like with a nuclear-armed Iran. Apart from the dangers of a direct attack on Israel or a suitcase bomb in Washington, it would mean the end of the global nonproliferation regime and the beginning of Iranian dominance in the Middle East.

This defense should be global in scope. There is a crying need in today’s ideological wars for something akin to the Congress for Cultural Freedom of the Cold War, a global circle of intellectuals and public figures who share a devotion to democracy. The leaders of this movement might include Tony Blair, Vaclav Havel, and Anwar Ibrahim.

Informed Conservatives must face up to an unpleasant task ahead.

Mainstream media has failed to properly inform the EU and N. American public and so Bush plans to leave Iraq in the hands of Maliki who plans to install an iron-fisted Iran / Persian Shiia control force over Iraq. This will allow the troops to leave but this * pulled punch *, the last in a series, will label the USA a *Paper Tiger* who cuts and runs.

The real problem however is the powerful rush it gives to OBL, the Taliban and Al Qaeda. This is exactly the Terrorist Homeland that OBL promised to establish in Iraq / the Middle East.


This is all too obvious to us in the conservative Web corner , but all too invisible to the vast and unaware left liberal populations of N. America and the EU.

Bush is failing to LEAD with confidence. Reagan would explain the true and urgent picture to the world through a televised address. I expect President Bush to do that before it*s too late.

Who am I kidding. Bush has the choice of massing more forces to stop Iran from taking over Iraq with Maliki and Muqtada al Sadr or giving up on Iraq in order to win the next election two years from now.

Sadly, Bush and the Republicans are choosing to give up on Iran and world terrorism in a selfish attempt to win the next election. = TG
