Stephane Dion says he'll keep dual citizenship

Updated Tue. Dec. 5 2006 7:23 PM ET

CTV.ca News Staff

Liberal Leader Stephane Dion said his loyalty "is 100 per cent to Canada first," after critics said he should abandon his dual citizenship to France.

Dion told CTV's Mike Duffy Live that he felt his loyalty was not worth debating.
...-

Take the hypothetical, that Mr. Dion does become our Canadian Prime Minister, while he is still a citizen of France. Any decisions or legislations he brought forward would be questionable, especially if any decisions and legislations were aligned with France’s - ie NAFTA, NORAD, NATO, etc.

His statement to Jane Taber on Mike Duffy Live “”Everybody knows that my loyalty is 100 per cent to Canada first”. Then logically what’s second? Don’t you think that it should be 100 per cent to Canada AT ALL TIMES!

BTW: I found Jane Taber didn’t do it justice…. she didn’t pursue that question. She dropped it. Seems like they are trying to hush this MAJOR factor.

Indeed, Catherine, it seemed awkward when giggles asked that question, as though she felt it was unfair and didn't want to make The Annointed One angry.

Can any of you just begin to imagine,if the same situation applied to PMSH,and he had dual Can/US citizenship ? The libs would be calling "off with his head"

I guite agree. La Rat is not worth debating. It makes me almost physically ill to think that a creature like this might, notice I said might, become the leader of MY FRIGGIN' CANADA. Steve is fine, Stephane is not.

No Change in Definition of Gender (by NY Board of Health)

The New York Times ^ | December 6, 2006 | Damien Cave
New York City’s Board of Health unexpectedly withdrew a proposal yesterday that would have allowed people to alter the sex on their birth certificates without sex-change surgery. The plan, if passed, would have put New York at the forefront of a movement to eliminate anatomical considerations when defining gender. It had been lauded by some mental health professionals and transgender advocates who said it would reduce discrimination against men and women who lived as members of the opposite sex. But after the proposed change was widely publicized recently, board members and officials with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene...-

The Mighty Wurlitzer

Despite all the talk about how conservatives are

pulling ideologically even with the Left,

the "activism" infrastructure gap between them is immense.

Perhaps the gap is even growing.

Here's how it looks from the Philippines, which I am currently passing through. Item: a US Marine Lance Corporal named Daniel Smith was convicted of rape by a Philippine judge, and three of his co-accused acquitted under a status of forces agreement.
The judge himself seemed fair, though idiosyncratic,

but the entire trial was attended by race baiting by the Philippine Left, which bayed for the "blood of the Americans".

If Smith were under the protection of the Left,

he would be a "martyr" by now --

there would be "Free Smith" t-shirts everywhere --

and the entire trial invalidated under charges of racism.

The reason it is not going to happen is because

conservatives lack the infrastructure:

the legal aid groups,

sympathetic UN institutions and tribunals

which can bring charges of "prejudice" or "bias"

against any court in any country. ...-

OLA Press Release:

Landowners K O - The CFIA [Canadian Food Inspection Agency]

On Monday December 4, 2006 at a meeting in Ottawa the CFIA agreed to drop the compliance orders against the Renfrew Bakery. At the meeting CFIA Regional Director -Vicky Therrien confirmed the following to Pam & Rick Powers;

1. There is now no requirement to register recipes nor have them analysed.
2. No need to change the present labelling practices.
3. No need to purchase any new expensive equipment
4. The Powers will need to purchase a "Black magic marker" and identify the quanity of buns in a package.

Apparently, the CFIA could not read nor understand their own regulations and put many bakery owners through a hell of stress because of incompetence.
Many thanks to Scott Reid MP, Lanark, Frontenac, Lennox & Addington for accepting the OLA briefing package and his determined efforts to bring sense and reasonableness to the CFIA. In addition our thanks are extended to Chuck Strahl Minister of Agriculture and his aide Donald Boucher for reining in the stampede of stupidity that has overcome CFIA bureaucrats.

The Landowners will proceed with our Victory rally at noon on Friday December 8, 2006 in Renfrew, and encourage all members and supporters to come and celebrate another landowner victory.

Attackers target Russian hosting firm

At least 470 Valuehost sites carrying malware scripts
Shaun Nichols in California, vnunet.com 04 Dec 2006

A Russian hosting company with ties to the UK and the US has become the victim of a huge hack attack, a security firm warned today.

Valuehost is reportedly hosting over 470 servers that are infected with scripts that attempt to run malware on a user's computer.

Security firm Kaspersky Lab reported that a user contacted the company after he had noticed " strange behaviour" from his browser. The antivirus software vendor said the site contained scripts that downloaded a Trojan installer.

According to Kaspersky, the user visited www.5755.ru after seeing the site advertised on TV. Upon visiting the site, a second browser window was launched and the malicious scripts then attempted to run.

Kaspersky Lab said that it later found that more than 470 other servers had been compromised with the same attack. Those servers, according to Kaspersky, were all traced back to Valuehost.

Valuehost offers hosting services to more than 60,000 Russian sites, and the company also offers hosting in the UK and the US. 5755.ru, valuehost.com and valuehost.co.uk were all down at the time of publication of this article.

Valuehost had not responded to requests for comment as of press time.===== [ Typical ] ===

In May, Valuehost's email addresses were spoofed in order to carry out an email Trojan attack.

'We're Living on Borrowed Time', Claims Charles
The Evening Standard (UK) ^ | December 6, 2006

Prince Charles launched his 'green revolution' with a stark warning that we are all 'living on borrowed time' if we don't stop eating up the world's resources.

In a forthright speech in front of leading figures, including Prime Minister Tony Blair, the Prince said: 'We are consuming the resources of our planet at such a rate that we are, in effect, living off credit and living on borrowed time.

'It is our children and grandchildren who will have to pay off this debt and we owe it to them and ourselves to do something about it before it is too late.'

The Prince launched his Costing The Earth — The Accounting For Sustainability project at a forum at St James s Palace attended by politicians and business and faith leaders.

They included the Archbishop of Canterbury Dr Rowan Williams, Lord Browne, chief executive of BP, and former US vice president Al Gore, a leading environmentalist whose film An Inconvenient Truth warns the world must act now to save itself. ...-

Carter’s Poison Pills

Iinvestor's Business Daily ^ | 7 December 2006 | Staff

The title of Jimmy Carter’s latest book, “Palestine: Peace, Not Apartheid,” really says it all. That Carter, a supposed “friend” of Israel, would liken our democratic ally in the Mideast to the apartheid state of South Africa is way beyond just provocative — it’s insane.

Carter no doubt thinks that because he once brokered peace talks between Egypt’s Anwar Sadat and Israel’s Menachem Begin at Camp David he has the moral and intellectual heft to pontificate on the Mideast’s ills. He doesn’t.

Fact is, Carter has long since joined the Israel-hating left — where true anti-Semitism resides today. In so doing, Carter has joined a long line of those who, like ex-Attorney General Ramsey Clark, linguist Noam Chomsky and faux-documentarian Michael Moore, see Israel as the root of all evil. ...-

The Gym Jihad-A burqa-clad woman demands her right

to prostrate to Allah...in front of your locker.

A Muslim woman in Dearborn, Mich., lodged a complaint Tuesday against Fitness USA for an alleged civil rights violation involving a fellow gym patron. According to Jodi Berry, executive director of Fitness USA, Wardeh Sultan was praying in front of another member’s locker when the member wanted access to her belongings inside the locker. The inconvenienced patron tried to interrupt Ms. Sultan, but she remained prostrate in front of the locker and an altercation ensued. A manager was called into the locker room to intervene.

Ms. Sultan later complained that the Fitness USA management was unconcerned about the humiliation she suffered when her prayers were interrupted. She stated that the gym personnel were insensitive, rejected her complaints and did not satisfactorily intervene on her behalf. Ms. Sultan further reported that the manager told her, “You have to respect her (the other patron), but she does not have to respect your god.”

The incident is yet another example of special treatment Muslims are increasingly demanding nationwide. Last April, at the Lincoln Park, Mich. Fitness USA location, 200 Muslim women signed a petition demanding separate workout times for men and women, or, at minimum, installation of a divider between the men’s and women’s gym sections. A screen was eventually erected to obstruct the view of the women’s facilities. Another Fitness USA facility recently revised a dress code to allow Muslim women to wear more modest dress while exercising.

Other examples abound. Last week, six imams demonstrated against U.S. Airways for alleged discrimination against Muslims and their religious practices after they were detained and questioned because they had been praying in the Minneapolis airport, loudly invoking Allah’s name and uttering anti-American statements. Recently, Muslim cabdrivers refused to carry passengers possessing alcoholic beverages or accompanied by seeing-eye dogs. Last year, city public swimming pools in Seattle, responding to pressure from Muslims, instituted regularly scheduled hours for exclusive use by Muslims, including a “Muslim Sister Swim.” In June in a Chicago suburb, a Muslim girls basketball team, whose players compete wearing long, blue gowns and hijabs, requested that in competitions with non-Muslims schools, no men or boys be allowed to watch the games.

What is behind this rash of demands for tolerance and accompanying allegations of discrimination by Muslims? Could this be part of an agenda contrived to intimidate non-Muslims into enacting special concessions and privileges for Muslims that subtlety alter American society step by step? Is this the beginning of a militant movement or a cultural jihad toward incremental demands with the ultimate goal of Islamicizing the U.S. and imposing Sharia law? ...-

[There's that left-liberal/socialist word: "offend".... bsbsbsbsbs]

[More: "employment equity office worker"... code for a "French Muslim midget feminist lesbian disabled Indian", aka reverse racism-discrimination.]

Extract:

"Negotiating what seems like a minefield of gaffes and awkward situations can feel like quite a challenge, but it doesn't have to be that way," wrote an employment equity office worker in a newsletter e-mailed to thousands.

In what reads like a parody, he suggests replacing the jolly old elf with a magician or clown at kids' parties, being conscious that alcohol may offend and decking the halls with "sensitive" decorations.

He suggests silver and gold garlands and wreaths, sleighs, reindeer and, oddly, poinsettias, which are typically red.

"Happy Holidays! Seasons Greetings!" he signs off.

It didn't leave Rabbi Reuven Bulka feeling festive.

"Oh God," he sighed. "It is laughable almost. We come to such a terrible thing where we can't say to someone who is celebrating Christmas 'Merry Christmas'? "Why would I be offended if someone says to me on occasion Merry Christmas, not knowing I am Jewish?"

A culture of outrage is being created in the name of sensitivity, Bulka argued. "People are getting too easily offended. It's a stupid way of living."

Iranian Soap Star Swept up in Video Scandal

(Porno Affair in [Iran] the Mullah State)

Iranian Soap Star Swept up in Video Scandal

PORNO AFFAIR IN THE MULLAH STATE

By Dieter Bednarz

The woman in this home-made porn flick is said to be Iranian soap star Ebrahimi.

A pornographic video is breaking all sales records in Iran. But it is also making a prominent TV star fear not just the end of her career, but also corporal punishment under the country's restrictive laws.

Actress Sahra Amir Ebrahimi is familiar with the role of the bad girl - the fiery-eyed young woman based her career on it. Her screen persona, the beasty little character Sohre, is one of the protagonists of the cult series "Narges" -- and Sohre is known for her intrigues and machinations.

The roughly 70 installments of the evening show bestowed record audience ratings on Iran's state-run television channel, which normally presents its viewers with grumpy mullahs and dated revolutionary epics -- the kind of entertainment that has most people reach for the remote control. The series also catapulted Ebrahimi high up into the astral regions of Iran's film star milieu. Shopping at the bazaar or drinking coffee on Teheran's glamorous Wali-je-Asr street, the young star was always sure to be admired by fans -- especially male ones.

But that's all over now.

Twenty-five-year-old Ebrahimi is said to have appeared in a porn flick that is selling like hot cakes on street stands across the country, and ever since, she's been considered a hussy in real life too. What, people are asking, drove the Islamic Republic's most promising soap star -- normally seen dutifully wearing her headscarf and an ankle-length coat -- to perform on a narrow bed in front of a shaky camera?

In the prudish mullah republic, even tame films of private pool parties meet with eager customers on the black market. But demand for Ebrahimi's unexpected onscreen performance is literally unbelievable. ...-

Bob Rae target of anti-Semitism in recent Liberal leadership contest

By JOAN BRYDEN

OTTAWA (CP) - Bob Rae was the target of anti-Semitic attacks during the Liberal leadership contest, motivated at least in part by the fact that his wife is Jewish.
Sources close to Rae say that his wife, Arlene Perly Rae, was approached during last weekend's convention by a delegate who didn't realize she was the candidate's wife. The delegate told her not to vote for Rae "because his wife is Jewish."

Perly Rae stonily informed the delegate that she was the wife in question. The delegate beat a hasty retreat.
....
The incident might have been shrugged off if it had been an isolated event. But Rae team insiders contend it was part of a larger pattern of anti-Semitic smears on Rae, who finished third.

A flyer was circulated electronically among convention delegates denouncing Rae for having once delivered a speech to the Jewish National Fund, a group the flyer said was complicit in "war crimes and ethnic cleansing."

"Rae's wife is a vice-president of the CJC (Canadian Jewish Congress), a lobby group which supports Israeli apartheid," said the flyer in bold letters superimposed over a close-up of Rae's face.

"Bob Rae supports Israeli apartheid. Don't elect a leader who supports apartheid."

The Canadian Jewish Congress has condemned the flyer and blamed Khaled Mouammar, president of the Canadian Arab Federation for circulating it. The federation has, in turn, accused the CJC of making "a pitiful attempt to discredit" it and has denied producing or distributing the flyer.

Nevertheless, in a release Thursday, the federation supported the content of the flyer.
