Yes Iran. Canada's treatment of it's natives is EXACTLY like you're lack of human rights.

We throw money at our natives.
When our natives break the law they get treated with kid gloves.
When they extort money from people we turn a blind eye.

Yes. That's EXACTLY the same as how you treat women, criminals, non-muslims.

It's really fun to read the Liberal spokesmen falling all over themselves trying to explain how much Belinda Stronach 'loves', really loves (aka Paul Martin) the Canadian health system..and yet..went to the US for treatment.

Just like Jack Layton, the socialist King, went to a private clinic for treatment. And then, explained that he didn't know it was private. Really? What about when they asked you to pay the bill? Didn't that 'ring a bell'?

Inside Bruce Crower’s Six-Stroke Engine (design captures waste heat)

Bruce Crower has lived, breathed and built hot engines his whole life. Now he’s working on a cool one—one that harnesses normally-wasted heat energy by creating steam inside the combustion chamber, and using it to boost the engine’s power output and also to control its temperature.

“I’ve been trying to think how to capture radiator losses for over 30 years,” explains the veteran camshaft grinder and race engine builder. “One morning about 18 months ago I woke up, like from a dream, and I knew immediately that I had the answer.”

Hurrying to his comprehensively-equipped home workshop in the rural hills outside San Diego, he began drawing and machining parts, and installing them in a highly modified, single-cylinder industrial powerplant, a 12-hp diesel he converted to use gasoline. He bolted that to a test frame, poured equal amounts of fuel and water into twin tanks, and pulled the starter-rope.

“My first reaction was, ‘Gulp! It runs!’” the 75-year-old inventor remembers. “And then this ‘snow’ started falling on me. I thought, ‘What hath God wrought…’” [...]
The danger of a boiler explosion has long been a factor in engineering—and in operating—steam powerplants of all kinds, and Crower is properly wary of the miniature boiler he has conjured up inside his test engine. That’s one reason he chose to use one originally manufactured as a diesel, for its inherent strength, though he installed a carburetor and ignition system so it could burn gasoline at first. ...-

Question

Do you think the whole biofuel bandwagon would have got rolling without key, politically correct words and phrases ??

"Renewable"
"Natures Fuel"
"Green"
"Reduces Greenhouse Gases"
"Get Off Fossil Fuels"

For years many blogs, such as sda, have been pointing out the folly of biofuels.

Well, our beloved Globe & Mail has caught up but of course they spin it;

[Now no less a sober authority than the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development says biofuels - notably ethanol, a fuel worshipped by governments, farmers and refiners in Canada, the United States and parts of Europe - might be a con job on a massive scale.]G&M

[The warnings were simply buried by the endless propaganda peddled by the ethanol movement and its slick lobbyists and PR men. To be against ethanol was to be against farmers, un-green and unpatriotic. Less ethanol meant more foreign oil, and no one wanted that.
Still the OECD report is welcome. But will it tip the balance against ethanol? Forget it. Big Ethanol, like Big Oil and the big defence contractors, is so well entrenched, so well organized and financed, that it will roll over your farmland and your forests like an Abrams tank.]G&M

Does anyone remember any major Canadian Media with a headline;

BIOFUELS NOT THE ANSWER
or
BIOFUELS WORSE THAN FOSSIL

Ever see articles/interviews of Gore and Suzuki talking about renewables ?? Fossils can be replaced ??

The Hypocracy of the media knows no limits.

Belgium may just be kaput. A few months without a government, demands for separation from the Dutch, the Economist telling them to call it a day, French police beating Dutch politicians in Brussels - and all for what?

Here it is in their own words:
"The reality is that the French-speaking people take whatever they can and make more and more demands. It will never be enough. One must be not hostile, but also not naive."

OTTAWA (CP) — There's a whiff of panic in a recent memo urging Liberals to head to Montreal on Monday to help the party win a byelection in what should be a slam-dunk riding for them. [...]
One senior Liberal said he wouldn't expect calls for a leadership change, but thinks some party members would publicly voice concerns only uttered in private to date.

He said those concerns include the party's anemic fundraising, and its communications strategy. Dion has had ample material with which to paste the Tories throughout the byelections, the source said, but failed to use it.

For example, unelected Senator Michael Fortier has been sitting in cabinet for 20 months now - and he's not running in the byelections, even though he lives in Outremont. The Tories are waiting to run him in a safer, semi-rural area in the next election.

"Why did we allow this thing to be defined as a test of Dion's leadership? This should have been about Fortier," said the Liberal. ...-

Philip K. Dick was a science fiction writer from the 1950's to the 1970's. Many of his works have been made into movies, such as "Blade Runner", "Minority Report", and "Total Recall". In a recent New Yorker article, Adam Gopnik summed up Dick's world view as follows:

"the central metaphor of his earlier work: the social arrangement of power is always that of a brute oligarchic minority forcing its will on a numbed population, with amusements the daily meal and brutality the implicit threat; for all that has changed technologically, that fatal pattern has never really altered."

Albatros39a . . . and the point is???

LindaL. Alby's point is he didn't bother to read the article properly, if he read it at all. Actually, it's quite a good paper, which uses the regimes of Hitler, Mussolini, Franco,Suharto and others to construct a fascist paradigm, with 14 common characteristics of fascist dictatorships.

If any reasonable person reads the article carefully, they will first notice that there is no threshold, say 7/14 that demarkates fascist from presumably non-fascist governments. Even if one did score the characteristics, Canada, and any contemporary western state, including their political parties, score 0/14.

Just for fun I widened the interpretation (IOW changed the actual meaning). The Conservatives did score 1/14 (Protecting Corporate Power) and the Liberals 5/14. (Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause; Controlled Mass Media;Corporate Power is Protected; Rampant Cronyism and Corruption). Apparently, alby gives the Conservatives 11/14 and the Liberals 1/14. Sorry no fascists here; alby is throwing a spitball.

So now it is fine to beat people with clubs and bats in the province of Ontario? I guess my daughters' boyfriends better watch out. Oh no, thats right, silly me. I forgot that there are 2 sets of laws in this province. Stupid me. So, instead, I think I will set up a ciggy shack on my property and sell tax free, sub-standard, toxic ciggy's to our poor and youth. WHAT??? I cannot do that? You will arrest me? Gee, that does not seem fair. Ok, I think I will host some gambling tournaments, for profit, at a rented hall. Damn, I will be arrested for that as well? Something just does not seem right here. Did I wake up in some tin-pot country, or what?

Not to worry you can always go down to the Gananoque River this spring and spear giant eggdripping spawning walleye, for kicks.
Or string a net across any of our world class salmon rivers while the season is closed.

If fishing isn't your bag baby, then just drive around provincial parks or the largest game preserve in the world (Chapleau Game Preserve) and shoot moose out of your pickup window in the summer.
Than you can sell all the free fish and game even if it is contaminated with mercury.

Dion loyalists charge byelection sabotage

OTTAWA — Michael Ignatieff supporters are sabotaging Liberal efforts in the Outremont byelection in hopes of weakening Liberal Leader Stephane Dion, Dion loyalists say.

A poll in La Presse of Montreal on Friday suggests the NDP may win a historic breakthrough in the riding on Monday. That would be a disaster for Mr. Dion, who personally selected international affairs expert Jocelyn Coulon as the Liberal candidate in what should be a safe seat in downtown Montreal.

Dion loyalists suspect Liberal organizers who support Mr. Ignatieff have been undermining the campaign, hoping that a loss would force Mr. Dion out of the leadership once Liberals realized that he couldn’t deliver seats in Quebec.

“I only know what I see, and I see some suspicious stuff,” said one Liberal worker on the ground....-

Right, we are not dealing with simple thugs, these Indians are getting awfully close to murderous scum, hitting a person over the head who is already lying unconscious, would be considered intent to kill if it were anybody else but Indians.
