A French court has found in favor of the publisher re the proceedings instituted a while ago as regards the cartoon issue.

The small Jewish publisher in Calgary and Soharwardy/Muslim Council re the similar issue have reconciled but the issue with the Western Standard is still outstanding it seems.

As it should be, and I hope both the Canadian/Alberta Human Rights Commissions get the message loud and clear. People are free to take whatever they want in front of the courts/tribunals but also must reconcile/live with the decisions that come out of them if they happen not to be favorable.

Speaking of freedom...the Canadian Federation of Students released their "Islamophobia on Campus" task force report yesterday, and whaddya know - they want more human rights prosecutions and more sharia "accomodation" on campus.

Czech leader Klaus fights global warming ‘religion’
By Jan Lopatka
REUTERS
5:38 a.m. March 21, 2007

PRAGUE – Czech President Vaclav Klaus said on Wednesday that fighting global warming has turned into a ‘religion’ that replaced the ideology of communism and threatens to clip basic freedoms.

The right-wing president, a free-market champion, wrote to the U.S. Congress that adopting tough environmental policies to fight climate change would have destructive impact on national economies.

‘Communism has been replaced by the threat of an ambitious environmentalism,’ Klaus wrote in response to questions from the U.S. House of Representatives’ Committee on Energy and Commerce.

The U.S. House Subcommittee for Energy and Air Quality was due to hold a hearing on climate on Wednesday with former U.S. Vice-President Al Gore, who sees global warming as a key challenge, and Danish sceptic Bjorn Lomborg, who says governments should focus on fight disease and hunger instead.

Gore, who won an Oscar for ‘best documentary’ for his ‘An Inconvenient Truth’ movie on climate change, has led a global warming awareness drive in the United States, the world’s largest source of gases believed to cause it.

Klaus, who does not hold many executive powers but is by far the most popular politician in the ex-communist Czech Republic, has taken a decisively opposite stance on the issue.

Klaus said poor nations would also be hurt by efforts to impose limits and standards on emissions of gases believed to cause global warming.

‘They will not be able to absorb new technological standards required by the anti-greenhouse religion, their products will have difficulty accessing the developed markets, and as a result the gap between them and the developed world will widen,’ he wrote.

‘This ideology preaches earth and nature and under the slogans of their protection – similarly to the old Marxists – wants to replace the free and spontaneous evolution of mankind by a sort of central, now global, planning of the whole world,’ he added.

U.S. President George W. Bush opposes mandatory caps on heat-trapping gases. He pulled the United States out in 2001 of the Kyoto Protocol on global warming, which aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Klaus wrote that it was futile to fight against phenomena like higher solar activity or the change of ocean currents, and called for avoiding wasting taxpayers money on what he called doubtful projects.

‘No government action can stop the world and nature from changing. Therefore, I disagree with plans such as the Kyoto Protocol or similar initiatives, which set arbitrary targets requiring enormous costs without realistic prospects for the success of these measures,’ he said.

Zimbabwe bishop says ready to face bullets

HARARE, March 22 (Reuters) - A top Zimbabwean Roman Catholic cleric said on Thursday he was ready to face bullets in anti-government street protests to help restore the rule of law in President Robert Mugabe's Zimbabwe.

Pius Ncube, archbishop of the southern Bulawayo diocese, told a news conference Zimbabweans must take to the streets over rights abuses by Mugabe's government, facing international criticism over a crackdown on the opposition.

"The biggest problem with Zimbabweans is they are cowards, myself included, but as for me I am ready to stand in front, even of blazing guns," he said.

"If only Zimbabweans are prepared to stand, so am I prepared to stand ... we are not going to be bullied," Ncube said. ...-

OTTAWA -- After threatening to build outside the country, Ottawa-based Iogen Corp. is now negotiating with the federal government to locate its long-promised cellulosic ethanol plant in Saskatchewan, a prospect made more likely after Monday's budget allocated $500-million to help underwrite such renewable fuel facilities.

In his budget, Finance Minister Jim Flaherty announced $2-billion in support for renewable fuel production, including $500-million to Sustainable Development Technology Canada to underwrite the commercialization of "next generation" ethanol made from wheat straw, corn stover, wood residue and switchgrass. ...-

Seeing Red Messes with IQ
Avoid the color red when you want to be the best you can be.

By David Ewing Duncan

Want to do your best? Then avoid the color red when taking exams, such as the IQ test. Psychologists at the University of Rochester studied the impact of showing subjects a brief "perception" of the color red before they took a test. The appearance of this color--associated with danger, blood, stop signs, and error marks on school papers--apparently causes faster heartbeat and breathing, and causes performance to plummet.

"The findings suggest that care must be taken in how red is used in achievement contexts and illustrate how color can act as a subtle environmental cue that has important influences on behavior," reports the study, published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology.

This is, of course, shocking news: a study that tells us something that we could probably surmise on our own. The same goes for the fact that the antidote to red--the color green--soothes us and makes us calm and want to "go."

Next thing you know, a study will tell us that blue makes us feel serene, and black signals mystery and the unknown.

Study: Elliot, A.J.; Maier, M.A.; Moller, A.C.; Friedman, R. & Meinhardt, J. (2007) The Effect of Red on Performance Attainment. Journal of Experimental Psychology, Vol 136(1): 154-168.

Very glad to hear that PMSH has ordered the Red Ensign to fly over the Vimy Memorial this year, to commemorate the 90th anniversary of the Canadian victory at Vimy Ridge. This decision by Stephen Harper shows a very real respect to the Canadian veterans of WWI, WWII, and Korea. I would personally like to thank the Prime Minister for making this happen, as several of my great uncles, and many of their friends & colleagues served in that hellish morass. For another great uncle, who lies in an unknown grave in the fields of Flanders, I am very humbled that he is remembered in such a meaningful way all these years later. Rest in peace Alec. Thank you PMSH.

"Liberals call for RCMP probe into Stockwell Day election controversy"

Half of the 96 participants were given a picture of an attractive suspect, the others received one of a supposedly ugly defendant. The case report was the same in either case. The volunteer "jurors" then were asked to decide whether the suspect was innocent or guilty. In the latter case they also had to decide on a sentence. Analysis of the results...-

multirec, you seem to be confused. The gun registry was money well spent.
The GST was originally a con idea, but you wanted the Liberals to fix. Why aren't you blaming the cons for introducing it in the first place or now looking to Harper to completely get rid of it?
What exactly is this billion-dollar boondoggle you're talking about?
Did you forget about Derek Zeisman?
What about the con mishandling of softwood, A.K.A. “the Great Canadian Cave In?”
What about the cons and the imaginary Income trust Scandal. Speaking of Income Trust, how much did Canadians lose over Flaherty's mishandling of that?
What about the con mishandling of the environment? They’ve had to look and see what the Liberals did for the environment when they were in office in order to get an idea of what to do about it. You know that stuff that any con will tell you that the Liberals didn’t do, yet the cons still cancelled the first chance they had?
What about O'Connor stepping down as Defence Minister. It seems through his incompetence he's given Canadians our own version of Abu Ghraib.

Yes, albatross, Liberal corruption never happened. They never mismanaged a penny, never stole a dollar, and certainly never paid anything back! Hope you're not hanging the equivalence label based on the Stockwell Day "controversy," (def'n-finding a fax in a wastebasket). Good luck with that. BTW, when are the Liberals going to pay back that stolen money? The Gun Registry, IMHO, was not money well spent, but well spent money.

Sorry, being in denial about Liberal incompetence, corruption and failure to remiburse Canadian's stolen money doesn't cut. I guess you're stuck with the "if you think Harper's got a hidden agenda now, just wait until he gets a majority." Good luck with that one too.

"multirec, you seem to be confused. The gun registry was money well spent."

No need to read your tripe after this comment. Back to your dorm room kid.

Matt: I'm sick of these city mayors (Bronco Billy here in Calgary) begging for more money from the fed instead of sucking it up and raising the taxes on their own while they spend recklessly. Talk about chicken sh$ts. Instead of facing the electorate with their own largesse they pawn off the responsibility on every other level of government.

And I like how this campaign talks about it only being 1 cent. As if it's 1% of the GST revenue. However, they want 1 cent out of every 6 cents, or a full 16.7% of the total GST revenue. Not to mention the inefficiency of the feds having to collect it, administer it, and pass it on to the cities instead of them collecting it directly themselves.

I'd love to see these mayors go into an election after a 16.7% tax increase.

Albatros39a,

An appropriate handle, I can see John Cleese running around the Hollywod Bowl trying to sell albatross, the smae manner in which you are trying to sell us on your tripe.

I can't speak for all conservatives in saying, I have no problem with above board GST as opposed the hidden manufacturers tax it replaced. It was NOT the cons who campaigned on eliminating it, it was your beloved Libs and their Red Book of 1993(see NAFTA, GST et al).

As for the $1Billion dollar boondoggle, so many items, so little time, for one see HRDC and Jane Stewart.

As for softwood deal, being only a mere accountant, I thought that 80% of $5Billion was still better than 0% of anything, but then agian I could be mistaken.

Please allow me to tie your Income trust scandal and O'Connor together. Despite being under 50, I am old school and expect ministerial responsibility to be the order of the day, so yes O'Connor should have resigned on principle as the person in charge. By the smae reasoning Brison & Goodale should have taken responsibility for the leak (regardless) of who it came from in the matter of some Bay St. brokers having advance knowledge of the imminent announcement.

As is par for the course of the leftist Hypocrites, it is never do as I do but do as I say.

You really should read that Red Book. In it they never promised to get rid of the GST, they promised to replace it. Some provinces decided to play along and their GST was replaced, as promised by the Liberals. Some provinces chose not to play along and decided to stick with the GST that you pay. You can blame your own provincial government if you are paying the GST.

Of course and 80% settlement is a good deal with cons after the Americans blatantly thumbed their noses at NAFTA because it's Little Stevie Tubby Guts who told you it was a good deal. Besides, to a con anything that hurts Canada and favours Americans is fine with them, because as anyone can tell, cons are far better Americans than they are Canadians. If the Liberals had caved in "to get the job done" the way the cons were, one can only imagine the noise from across the out of the loudmouth cons in the house.

Oh, that "Billion dollar boondoggle"? That's con accounting again isn't it? After the books were examined, only $85,000 were unaccounted for due to poor book keeping practices, a far cry from one billion, but you failed to mention that. I'm looking forward to when the con books are examined. I’m quite sure there is going to be money unaccounted for.

The RCMP have cleared Brison & Goodale of any wrong doing.

Scientist Finds the Beginnings of Morality in Primate Behavior

Some animals are surprisingly sensitive to the plight of others. Chimpanzees, who cannot swim, have drowned in zoo moats trying to save others. Given the chance to get food by pulling a chain that would also deliver an electric shock to a companion, rhesus monkeys will starve themselves for several days.

Biologists argue that these and other social behaviors are the precursors of human morality. They further believe that if morality grew out of behavioral rules shaped by evolution, it is for biologists, not philosophers or theologians, to say what these rules are.

Crop circle hoax exposed."

mr beware: did you see the video "crop circles quest for truth"

there was one art work up on top of a hill consisting of 409 individual circles.

four HUNDRED and nine of them, spaced correctly, with no crop plants knocked down that werent supposed to be, aaaaaand then theres that thing about microscopic iron particles crammed down deep between the stem and leaves of the wheat stalks.

you think this is a hoax?

how do they 'weave' the clusters of stalks so intricately and so quickly to get the thing done in a 4 hour window?

what force of nature is causing the sudden extreme heat that either bends the node of the grass or blows it open depending on the age and moisture content?

circles 'cropping' (pun intended) in north america, australia, europe and mostly england for decades, getting more and more complex (some are 2 dimensional representations of 3D objects)

etc etc

where's the hoax?

a couple jokesters traipsing around wit' miner's caps on and a couple fence boards? those are the hoax, but what about the massive and intricate patterns showing up by the thousands? who is 'doing' the 'hoax'?

like Polly the farmer said, no incomplete ones, no practice ones, no mistakes, for decades. what kind of obsession is that?

some 'hoax' sir.

deny deny deny. right wing to the core.

any righties out there gonna answer these legitimate questions like fer instance the GSY being brain child of brian mulruin's finance minister, or are you just going to dig deeper for brand new personal insults?

"Scientist Finds the Beginnings of Morality in Primate Behavior"

Interesting story indeed; altruistic primates. What this proves is, cons have yet to elvolve to the level of a rhesus monkey.

and the dippers and liberals have the social complexity of an ant farm.

To Albatros39a: I'm hungry...now where's that chain? ;)

Listening to AM 640 on the way home, they had a piece about Ontario Hydro raising rates because ... everyone did their bit and conserved.

They even had a spokedude on who said somebody has to pay for conservation(!)

Liberals are losing mps by kicking them out of caucus, resignations, and floor crossings. To make up for this loss they are trying to get even by demanding resignations of cabinet ministers.
When will the PM ask the liberals to apologize for adscam, theft, and return of money. When will someone ask for the 12 quebec liberals who received bags full of cash to be named and demand resignations if still elected mps. Mark Holland is on the attack again. This will also come back to bite him.

Don't need to read the Red Book, for fiction I will stick with Ian Rankin and his Rebus series.

As for Brison & Goodale,read my post again, it has nothing to do with CRIMINAL wrongdoing but Ministerial responsibility. I don't give a rat's you know what whether they were found guilty or innocent by the RCMP, I am just holding them to the same level of accounatbility you are trying to hold(as am I) O'Connor to. You can't have it both ways.

I'll make you another deal, when debating conservatives, try and make it through one argument or point of view without making reference to Americans or GWB or neo-cons. Once you can establish your position without referencing the aforementioned categories I/we might actually give you some credibility.

where you think I got dis oooout ragjus accent?

Well, now we all know the real truth. Inconvenient or not.

Wakos really do believe in the supernatural, hoaxes, scams, Gore, Suzuki, ect.

Very non-uniform, non-pattern like crop circles are made by a crop lodging(falling down) due to it's lush, heavy growth. All it takes is some rain, a little wind and presto. This often happens at night when the plants are most moisture laden.

Then, at first light, the spaced out wakos see this and call the media. Presto !! a "story".

But the nuty realized they could make a better crop circle AND a better story for their gullable, so-called reporter friends.

All it takes is a plan to scale, a two-by-four, some stakes, rope, and some funny tobacco.

It is very possible to walk down the 'tram-lines' and carefully walk only where you want the crop to be layed flat any ways. Unlike soil, horizontal straw will not leave a foot print. The odd candy wrapper has been left behind though.

Yep, one born every minute.

Altruistic Liberals??
Nope standing around clucking about what's going on is not altruistic. Doing something about it is.

As I always say " Darwin always wins ! "

"It didn’t help matters when the media began playing a campaign speech in which Chrétien flatly stated that the tax would be “scrapped.”

The Cretin stated this clearly and Copps resigned because of it. Cretin's statement was what Canadians picked up on though the Red Book promised to replace it with a "more friendly tax" and like all lieberal promises it was never kept.

It should be interesting to see how the accounting slight of hand done to the 30 billion Gov't Union pension by Martin to look like he was paying down the deficit pans out. Another Liberal lie on its way.

MMat: Several years ago our gas company raised rates for the same excuse. We had a warm winter so not as much was used. Kyotologists should pay attention. Companies budget for certain net profit and they raise prices to reach their goal. Conservation will not mean lower prices or savings. This will be the same for food costs, freight, and everything you use. Soon, if dion gets his way, we will be paying for not using, eating, driving and many other things. PMSH knows this but is having a great difficulty getting the message out. Anyone going to listen to the greatgore tonight. He was in Washington yesterday, what carbon footprint did he leave to get to Canada. Place him on the no fly/lie list.

how are the bent plants interlaced so elegantly and quickly?

and how did all the microscopic iron spheres get wedged in the wheat stalks? how? and where in gawds name did they come from? and how did they get peppered into the ground in a gradually diminishing concentration away from the centre of the pattern?

and who put the one a stones throw from stonehenge without being seen? in the middle of the day?

increasing complexity and variety.

I like the ones where MOST of the crop is flattened and the pattern consists of a small portion left standing, I liken it to a photographic negative.

who is doing all the hoaxing mr beware?????

anybody taking credit and SHOWING how they did any of these biggies? anyone ever???

or just a couple rough hewn simple ones on a friday night beer fueled dare. chortle chortle.

this ISNT 'area 51' crap. this is happening all over the place for anyone and everyone to see for themselves.

http://www.cropcircleconnector.com/2006/soley/soley2006a.html

each quadrant is a reflection of the adjacent one.

a very *precise* reflection.

note how the crop stalks are laid down in a very recognizable obvious pattern of 'clumps' and swirls and eddies: this is very typical.

http://www.cropcircleconnector.com/2006/soley/PICT0190.jpg

according to mr beware, done with some rope and a 2 X 4.

how ???

who ??? are you doing this mr beware??? are you???

in the middle of the night so as to be undetected.

without illumination, oh, oh, I know, 'night vision goggles'. ya, ya, thats it, night vision goggles.

THOUSANDS of them for 40 years, done undetected with, umm, 2 X 4s and night vision goggles. which didnt exist 40 years ago.

in icky rapeseed also.

undetected for 40 years. hundreds and hundreds all learning the 'secret' and ALL of them completely silent even on their death bed. no one wants to grab the spotlight and spill the beans exactly how ALL of them were accomplished.

no mistakes in ANY of the really really phenomenal ones because naturally you would be first to point that out as 'proof' they were *all* 'hoaxes'.

maybe the web site is a hoax.

ya, ya, thats it, a gigantic hoax, as is apollo 11 and the fdr commissioned bombing of pearl harbour to get the states into the war.

ya, ya, thats it. all of it is a hoax.

and the swissair was downed by a rogue US military missile. ya, ya, that was a set up, ya.

beware indeed.

just make sure dear reader you 'beware' of the right thing.

Crop Circles

"..In 1991, more than a decade after the phenomenon began, two men from Southampton, England announced that they had conceived the idea as prank at a pub near Winchester, Hampshire during an evening in 1978. Doug Bower and Dave Chorley made their crop circles using planks, rope, hats and wire as their only tools: using a four-foot-long plank attached to a rope, they easily created circles eight feet in diameter. The two men were able to make a 40-foot circle in a quarter of an hour.

The pair became frustrated when their work did not receive significant publicity, so in 1981 they created a circle in Matterley Bowl, a natural amphitheatre just outside Winchester, Hampshire - an area surrounded by roads from which a clear view of the field is available to drivers passing by. Their designs were at first simple circles. When newspapers claimed that the circles could easily be explained by natural phenomena, Bower and Chorley made more complex patterns. A simple wire with a loop, hanging down from a cap - the loop positioned over one eye - could be used to focus on a landmark to aid in the creation of straight lines. Later designs of crop circles became increasingly complicated." Wikipedia.

Now I can honestly say, I would love to see the headline;

~~ FEDERAL GOV'T KILLS CBC ~~

attention robertbullocks

If you make one more comment at this site that can be even slightly construed as a threat or desire to see harm done against police officers, and I'll not only ban you, I'll send the relevant information to both your ISP and the RCMP. Do I make myself clear?

TonyGuitar - "for 101 Liboondoggles just google; Scamslist."

OK, here's the first line in that list

1. Cancelling the Sea King replacement

Only a con would spin a Liberal election promise as a scam. Remember Chretien was elected into a majority after he made that promise.

Three was pretty comical too

3. Gun Registry {$2.4 Billion wasted]

Gun registry cost 1 billion (and a good investment it was), but then again 2.4 billion was figure thrown out by Harper during the election. What did Garth Turner call Harper today in question period today? Was it a second or third-rate economist?

Many on that list are duplicates many are just plain con BS.
I wish I could spend more time picking apart that list. Oh well never enough time.

Albatros. Notwithstanding whether it was scam, corruption or just incompetence, EH-101 cancellation utter disaster on many fronts,too many to enumerate. Chretien made many stupid promises during 93 election (Red Book, what a joke); unfortunately, he kept this one and spent $1B NOT TO BUY HELICOPTERS. Then bought already obsolete chopper for same money, just delivered at least ten years late. We'll see since they haven't actually built the thing yet.

I thought that countries like the Czech Republic and Poland were supposed to be "backward" ?? Seems that it was not the people all along, but the govmits they were blessed with.

" ..PRAGUE - Czech President Vaclav Klaus said on Wednesday that fighting global warming has turned into a a "religion" that replaced the ideology of communism and threatens to clip basic freedoms."

Seems that even the President of the former East Block country can easily see through Gore's folly. And he told the US congress that. This is getting to be too much !!

" ..Klaus, who does not hold many executive powers but is by far the most popular politician in the ex-communist Czech Republic, has taken a decisively opposite stance on the issue." (From Gore. And, I may add, our Mesiah, Suzuki)

B. Hoax: another one is "Alien Autopsy", and another is "The Oil Crisis" (of the 1970's).

The $2 billion estimate for the Gun Registry is an estimation of costs for all of the Federal Departments involved. The Auditor General complained of lack of co-operation from many Departments in her report. The costs wouldn't have been so bad if the thing had actually worked, but as predicted, we ended up with a criminal gangland extravaganza just as the US did when they banned alcohol. Funny, criminologists claim there is no "causal" effect but similar results were experienced in several other countries when severe GC was introduced. GC has never worked anywhere except to empower criminals and terrorists.

The Cdn Navy needed helicopters. The EH-101 may not have been the right one but the Sea King was dangerous to fly and crews were killed as a result of not upgrading it. On the West Coast we had to call the Americans to the rescue on several occasions. Bastards.

Environment Canada wrongfully claimed credit for polar bear Image

He was introduced by federal Liberal leader Stephane Dion, who praised Mr. Gore for "shaking the foundations of our complacency, smashing down the barricades of disbelief, and puncturing the smug confidence of denial."

"If the state of Florida [which cost Mr. Gore the 2000 election] counted votes with the same precision as the Academy [which awarded Mr. Gore the Oscar for best documentary], we would live in a very different world today," Mr. Dion said.

Later, at a news conference, Mr. Dion declined to elaborate, even to say whether the world would be better. "You may guess my answer," he said.

"By harnessing the power of the market, we can beat climate change, and reap the economic rewards," Mr. Dion said in his introduction. Canada will become a "green energy superpower," and when it does, "we will have this man to thank, the Honourable Al Gore."

Mr. Gore said it was "a balm to my heart" to hear Mr. Dion speak so forecefully about climate change, having spent Wednesday in Congress being grilled over his activism.

He also declared himself "a big David Miller fan," and got laughs by addressing the Mayor by his honorific, "your Worship." Afterward, Mr. Gore and Mr. Miller chatted about ice cover on the Great Lakes, while Mr. Dion stood politely by....-

The bear necessities of climate change politics

A photo of two polar bears seemingly stranded on an ice floe has come to symbolise man’s destruction of nature. But is it all that it seems?
[,,,]

Captured on film by Canadian environmentalists, the pair of polar bears look stranded on chunks of broken ice….’
[...]

Yet the recent elevation of the polar bear into a victim of mankind’s recklessness isn’t really based on the facts or figures of polar bear life. Rather, these bears have become a big blank white canvas on to which any fairytale of human destructiveness can be written. To return to the Friends of the Earth leaflet – it says: ‘There are some voices, including slippery politicians and greedy commercial interests, who will tell you there is nothing to worry about.’ Its picture of the polar bear demonstrates otherwise, apparently. This is the Disneyfication of politics: bad, greedy people on one side, and ‘cuddly’, helpless polar bears on the other. How long till we get an animated fable about polar bears to sit alongside the penguin eco-flick Happy Feet?

Whatever the truth about climate change, we need to get beyond these childish tales of two legs bad, four legs good – of wicked man, and innocent beast. If the world is getting warmer due to human action, it may still make perfect sense to continue burning fossil fuels. What we need is a cool-headed and balanced discussion about the costs and benefits of different courses of action, from Kyoto-style emissions cuts and new, non-carbon technologies, to adaptive measures and the promotion of economic growth as a means of coping with problems. And we need to start putting the interests of human beings first.

The debate we’re getting – simple but cynical tales of human greed, backed by cute photos of cuddly creatures – is the polar opposite of the debate we need. ...-

Real America fights back

Posted: March 23, 2007
1:00 a.m. Eastern

On March 19, members of the national press corps gathered in a conference room at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., and were astounded by what they saw.

The pro-troop organization Move America Forward, the group I lead in my capacity as chairman, unveiled an ad warning of the consequences of failure in Operation Iraqi Freedom.

The 1964 "Daisy" spot used by liberals to sink Barry Goldwater's presidential campaign was being turned against them in 2007 in the war on terrorism.

I urge you to watch the ad online.

The members of the media covering this event hadn't seen the growing pushback by patriotic Americans to fight back against the anti-war crowd and the biased reporting from many in the "mainstream media."

There's an awakening that is taking place in this nation, and it's come in just the nick of time. ...-

In December 1998, BC Supreme Court Judge Duncan Shaw held that Vancouver paedophile Robin Sharpe was not guilty of possessing child pornography because the exploration of material depicting children as vehicles of sexual gratification was an integral part of Mr. Sharpe’s character and his freedom of expression and conscience; and also an essential part of his intimate and private life.

When are Liberals going to accept the fact that when you give government money to a child-porn advocate like Robin Sharpe, it sets you up for criticism?
The Globe and Mail reported Liberals gave Sharpe a grant from the Canadian Heritage Dept. in 2000.
It's not out of line to ask if Martin was soft on child porn, it was unprofessional to not back it up with the Globe story."
