Good evening ladies and gentlemen, welcome to SDA Late Nite Radio. On February 4 last, listener Irwin Daisy wrote in to suggest that we conjure up a little Eric Dolphy here in the SDA LNR studio. The day before, in the discussion of the now infamous Donna Summers v. Dolly Parton show, Mr. Daisy also mentioned that he was a fan of Charles Mingus, which we covered here later on February 4, with his sextet's performance in Oslo in 1964.

Tonight, for your delection, here are Eric Dolphy and Charles Mingus performing Farewill in 1964. It's about a half-hour, total length.

Came true.

CBC and CTV news reports Liberals introduce deductible RESP's and TSE has a huge drop. Conservatives tables amendment to budget to prevent deductibility of RESP's and TSE takes huge climb. Two Liberals are elected in Toronto and TSE drops by over 300 points below 13,000.

Jason Cherniak is getting ahead of the tomorrow's bad news for the liberals while endorsing Dion's strategy of hand-picking female candidates in Liberal ridings.

http://jasoncherniak.blogspot.com/2008/03/martha-was-appointed.html

While I'm waiting for Jason to "approve" my comments at the Cherniak East German Post Office, I figured I'd post them here:

Martha's win in a riding thats been held by the liberals for two decades can hardly be considered a resounding endorsement of Dion's strategy, particularly when you look at the whole picture: Outremont (loss), DMC (loss), Willowdale (win).

You can spin it anyway you want - either Dion is a 66.6% loser or a 33.3% winner.

Now, now kiddies enough with the CBC bashing. The Borg does in fact perform a valuable public service - ie it collectively soaks up all the guilt, angst and self-loathing us Anglos are supposed to be wallowing in for the sins (real
and imagined) visited by our ancestors on other
cultures for the last four or five hundred years.

This is a good thing because it frees us up so
we don't pain to much about it.

What my great, great, great, great grandfather did
or didn't do in Africa or India or anywhere else is of not much worry to me.

I expect truth were told he was stealin sheep in
Wales or some such.

Now whether this Public Service is worth the $750
million or so we pony up is another question.

Just my opinion - I coould be wrong

I am really looking forward to the explanations these three new libs will give their electorate when they abstain in voting. Actually, I am more interested in the explation to be given to those in Quadra, for I think it's safe to say tORONTO enjoys being whipped by the liberals............talk about abuse fetish.

LPT...............Liberal Party of tORONTO

I hope Bob Ekhert in Erindale Mississauga is running, I think he was only 1000 votes away from Al-Ghabara............Unless mississauga has increased more in its huge muslim pop, I think we will get it. There are other places in the burbs that are more open to the conservatives, North Mississauga/Brampton will be under Bains as long as these Sikhs keep voting Baines in, this won't change until the guy retires I am afraid. Anybody care to talk about their local ridings that might swing?

It should also be noted that Quadra can be a considered a loss for the Libs, along with the fact that there are two more chefs in the kitchen.

Its nearly midnight here in BC, and National Newswatch has these results posted:

Desnethé–Missinippi–Churchill River
Bob Rae (LIB) Wins Toronto Centre
Vancouver Quadra
Martha Hall Findlay (LIB) Wins Willowdale

Notice that the only declared winners are (LIB). You could forgive them for not declaring Vancouver Quadra, but come on. Desnethé–Missinippi–Churchill River was a clear victory for the CPC. How come no acknowledgement? Just too hard to post,,,,,, I guess.

I predicted 3 libs and 1 conservative.

Came true

Me too!!

Wonder whether Quadra is close enough for a recount to make a difference?

Saw this from B.C. Torys blog........

VANCOUVER-QUADRA
Joyce Murray (LIB)- 10,155
Deborah Meredith (CON)- 10,004
Rebecca Coad (NDP)- 4,064
Dan Grice (GRN)- 3,792

My jaw dropped when I saw the vote diff by only 150 or so!!!! LMAO. Want to know whats funnier then that? The media spin on things ala "I love Liberals"

The Vancouver Quadra results have got to shake the Liberals in B.C. to the core. Stephen Owen won that riding in '06 by greater than 10,000 votes. For Murray to win by 150(!) is a clear message about Dion's leadership abilities and coattails. BC ridings like North Van, West Van, Vancouver South all become viable Conservative wins plus the NDP's poor showing and notable bleeding to the the Greens means that Conservatives are going to suddenly be a lot more competitive in the close three way ridings on Vancouver Island.

I cannot believe that anyone in Toronto would vote for Bob Rae. Surely his last NDP government was enough to convince everyone of the follies of Socialism. Then again, Stalin is still highly respected in Russia after he
killed 20 million of them.

Toronto would vote for a monkey if endorsed by the Liberals, the fact that the Liberals have done nothing for Toronto , ever, does not seem to bother the Zombies here.

Exclusive, no links; just serious punditry:

The Canadian Sentinel delivers his best on yesterday's by-election results and analyzes the Liberals' hopeless future and bleak options. You'll love this take... I'm back, baby, in top Liberal-fighting form and will not relent until the Liberals are burnt, inedible toast, ready to be tossed into the big green compost bin in the next election.

http://thecanadiansentinel.blogspot.com/2008/03/liberals-lose-seat-to-conservatives.html

Yeah, yeah... I know... shameless self-promotion, but I believe you'll find it worth it!

Check out the CBC's description of the "blow-out on the Churchill". With the Conservative winning the riding by one of the highest margins ever, smashing the Liberal appointed candidate 48% to 31%, CBC spins it this way: "Conservative candidate Rob Clarke won a tight federal byelection in northern Saskatchewan on Monday evening."

Of course, with the amount of the repudiation of Dion's leadership, the Liberals may well have been tight - in the other meaning of the word.

And check out CBC's description of the Vancouver Quadra result. "Former B.C. environment minister Joyce Murray won the seat, but was only about 5 per cent ahead of Deborah Meredith, running for the Conservatives." Which would have been impressive enough, but not nearly as impressive as the truth - that she was only one half of a percent ahead. Oops. I guess they forgot the decimal point.

Anyone who suggests for a second that the National Post is a Conservative friendly paper should take a look at this front page hatchet job by Juliet O'Neill:

"Liberals take three of four byelections

OTTAWA -- Liberal leader Stephane Dion declared Monday "a great day for Liberals" as his party's candidates claimed victory in three of four federal byelections, two in Toronto and one in Vancouver.

Within minutes of the victory declarations, Liberal party president Marie Poulin e-mailed a fundraising letter to party faithful, saying "we can all be assured that tonight's successes show Canadians that the Liberal Party is primed and ready for whenever a federal election is called."

www.nationalpost.com/news/story.html?id=383880

Liberals winning Willowdale and Toronto Centre is not news. They've been doing that for decades.

Liberals losing by-election to governing party is, statistically, very big news. This does not often happen in Canadian politics.

Liberals nearly losing Van Quadra, a seat they won by a large percentage last election, to the governing party is, statistically, news. Again, very unusual for a governing party to gain a large % of votes mid-term.

This coming from what is purported to be "the" conservative and Conservative newspaper in Canada.

Maclean's joins the battle
By Ezra Levant

Via Connie at Free Dominion, here are the written documents forming Maclean's court application to open up next week's secret trial at the Canadian Human Rights Commission.

Here is the affidavit of Maclean's reporter Charlie Gillis; and here is Maclean's legal argument (called a factum). There is nothing extraordinary about these two documents. What is extraordinary is that Maclean's is doing this at all. It's the first mainstream, well-heeled Canadian media organization to dig into this story on the reporting side -- and to put some of Rogers' considerable resources into removing CHRC roadblocks.

"Canadian politicians listed as hookers' clients"

I wonder if I should apoligize to voters in Toronto, and instead congratulate them. That so called liberal stronghold only managed to get a total of 27,711 out to vote for Rae and MHF. What an embarassment for them. Guess liberals are really the Abstaining Party.
And didn't MHF get more votes than the Saviour.
And they almost lost in BC. Not a good day to be a liberal.

Will Goodale retire before next election to save being defeated?

Is it even worth it to write CTV to complain about the 'Bob Rae Marathon' yesterday?

In the United States only 8% of journalists are admitted to be conservatives.

In Canada I doubt if that number would reach 5% who are conservative in their political leaning.

That would mean that 95% are gut leftist in their outlook and would naturally reflect in their output.

Therefore the talking heads on Canadian TV not only spin to the left, they also clearly reflect the mindset of their Corporate owners.

Conclusion- MSM is in the tank for the socialist Liberals, Greens and Taliban Jack's ND's.

I truly long for FOX Cable to come into the Canadian market for some fresh air.

Write the RTNDA and ask them to revoke CTV news chief Robert Hurst's award for 'excellence.'

Given all the F#@k-ups from CTV of late, you would think they would be a little more careful.

You would have thought he was already on the Liberal payroll. Who is that CTV exec who is a big Liberal fundraiser again?

I am still flabergasted that the Liberals and their media puppets keep saying that Conservatives can't get elected in cities blah blah blah.

Does somebody out there with the investigative and compilation skills want to take this fabrication to task.

The REAL truth is that it is LIBERALS who have been virtually shut out of most of Canada's major cities - crowing about inner city Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal when there are hundreds of Canaian cities where there are no Liberals at all or a few who hung on by their teeth in a few urban ridings across the country.

Is there anybody reading this who could do an analysis - Say, Canada's 50 largest cities and which party represents them.

Thanks in advance. Should be interesting.

WHEN TELEVANGELISTS Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson blamed the 9/11 attacks on "gays, feminists and the ACLU," their obscene remarks were used like a club to bludgeon George Bush and his "fundamentalist" base right up to the 2004 elections. For media elites such as The New York Times and CNN, it didn't matter that Bush quickly condemned their hate speech, or that he had no relationship to either man or their churches. It was guilt by association--an association that existed only in the feverish imaginations of the Bush-hating intelligentsia.

Barrack Obama on Race (or, dealing with white people):

(ibloga.blogspot.com and hnn)

In the good, old tradition of revolutionaries, Obama hides in plain print. So, before listening to his speech, it's worth while to note the following passages from his autobiography.

On p. 94-95 he describes an effective tactic to deal with White people:

It was usually an effective tactic, another one of those tricks I had learned: People were satisfied so long as you were courteous and smiled and made no sudden moves. They were more than satisfied; they were relieved - such a pleasant surprise to find a well-mannered young black man who didn't seem angry all the time.

Indeed, when he was a community organizer (age 22 prior to going to law school) he happily cooperated with Rafiq, a former gangster turned Nation of Islam. He even believed that Black Nationalism was a good therapy for Blacks. That was also the reason he supported Wright (pp. 190-200). For he shares Michelle's sentiments of alienation, came to believe that race should trump everything and it should be anti-white:

. . . :all the black people who, it turned out, shared with me a voice that whispered inside them - "You don't really belong here."

In a sense, then, Rafiq was right when he insisted that, deep down, all blacks were potential Nationalists. The anger was there, bottled up and often turned inward. And . . . I wondered whether, for now at least, Rafiq wasn't also right in preferring that that anger be redirected; whether a black politics that
suppressed rage towards white generally, or one that failed to elevate race loyally above all else, was a politics inadequate to the task.

I don't sit on my laurels vis a vis The National Post: Hey, the Aspers, big-time supporters of the Librano$, own the paper, for G*d's sake. There's a residual of Conrad Black's paper, because the Aspers know that c/Conservatives will buy a paper if they know there'll be some c/Conservative-friendly articles (I stopped, however), but it's swung way too pro-Librano for my taste.

'Heard Little Dion on the CBC news at noon, singing the praises of THE GREEN PARTY. I smell a rat here. What's the guy up to? "We didn't win too well but, hey, look at the Green Party. They did very well and isn't that just great?!"

"Saudi breeders search for new 'Miss Camel'"

By Damien McElroy, the telegraph.co.uk

Camels are being prized for their beauty - not just their usefulness - in Saudi Arabia where strict Islamic laws and tribal customs prohibit beauty contests for women.

Camel breeders are open about their admiration for the physical attributes of the animals as they gather at this spring's camel markets.

Judges look for big eyes and long necks "It's just like judging a beautiful girl," said Fowzan al-Madr, a camel breeder. "You look for big eyes, long lashes and a long neck."

Public displays of affection between men and women are rigidly policed by the feared officials of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice but in the camel bazaars anything goes.

"Camels are just like humans," breeder Haza al-Shammari told the International Herald Tribune. "They love and hate just like humans. That's why you have to bring them up very gently."

Mr Shammari grabbed his favourite camel's neck and kissed the beast on the mouth.

"She isn't married yet, this one," he said. "She's still a virgin. Look at the black eyes, the soft fur. The fur is trimmed so it's short and clean, just like a girl going to a party.

"As I parse the shrieks of horror over Mamet's move to the Right, I recall what a friend on the Labor side of politics said to me late last week. So many on the Left are obsessed with how they feel about something, he says.

Think about it. So many issues the Left is consumed by are about raw emotion, not intellectual analysis. They will ask you how you feel - not what you think - about some gripping issue. And that's why Mamet changed his views. He started thinking about issues, engaging his head. So many on the Left take the shortcut, letting their gut reaction dictate their response.

Of course, even before Mamet's political conversion it was easy to work out that left-wing politics is essentially emotional, not logical.

With only rare exceptions, poets, playwrights, actors, directors and artistes generally are overwhelmingly political bleeding hearts."

"Iran Mulls the Death Penalty for Apostates—Perhaps with Worldwide Jurisdiction."

Oh, and Christians and Bahais are to be labeled as Apostates as well.

Joseph Griebowski, cuttingedgenews.com:

Life for so-called apostates in Iran has never been easy, but it could become literally impossible if Iran passes a new draft penal code. For the first time in its history, Iran is considering the death penalty for apostates. In the past, authorities have executed apostates. But punishment by death has never before been set down in law.

The text of the draft penal code uses the word Hadd, which explicitly sets death as a fixed punishment that cannot be changed, reduced or annulled. The rest of the code is little better. By using ill-defined terms, other provisions also open the door to abuse Iran’s already beleaguered religious and ethnic minorities.

Article 225-1 states “Any Muslim who clearly announces that he/she has left Islam and declares blasphemy is an Apostate.”

The code would also further erode the rights of minorities such as Bahá’ís or Christians by labeling them apostates. “False prophets”—a term undefined in the code—are to be sentenced to death. Any Muslim who “invents a heresy” or a sect contrary to Islam is also an apostate.

The code’s authors go even further, extending its jurisdiction beyond Iran’s borders to those acting “against the government, the independence and the internal and external security of the country.” The law does not define the term “security.” This means that groups around the world that Iran’s regime consider dangerous could be liable for actions they take outside the country.

batb - Dion is praising the Green Party because it is moving into a position where it is taking more votes than the NDP! The NDP and the Liberals are fighting for the left vote.

If Dion can convince voters that voting for the Liberals in a general election is equivalent to voting for a Green candidate (who can't form the govt), then, his Liberal candidate will get that Green vote.

Get it?

The West’s Oslo Syndrome
By Jamie Glazov
[...[

FP: I want to talk to you today about how the Oslo Syndrome infects the West overall. But let’s first begin by you telling us what the Oslo Syndrome is itself.

Levin: The Oslo Syndrome, taking Israel’s Oslo agreements with Yasir Arafat and his PLO as a model, refers to the inclination of some within populations under chronic attack to take to heart the indictments of their attackers, however hateful or absurd, and to insist, despite all evidence to the contrary, that sufficient concessions and self-reform will appease the attackers and end the threat. It is particularly found within minorities that are subjected to continual marginalization, denigration and assault by the surrounding majority, or small states under chronic siege by their neighbors. But, as the aftermath of 9/11 has demonstrated, even segments of powerful nations can react in this way when confronted by a threat for which there is no simple or quick solution.

FP: So the Oslo Syndrome has infected the American, and wider Western, response to the existential threat posed by Islamo-fascism, right? There is a widespread refusal in the U.S. and in the West to acknowledge the threat is there. What is the psychology behind that refusal?

Levin: The basic psychological motivation involves the powerful wish to be in control of one’s fate and, more particularly, people’s wish to believe that they can extricate themselves from painful and threatening situations.

The paradigm on the level of individual psychology is the psychology of chronically abused children, which typically means those abused by parents or parent surrogates. Such children almost invariably blame themselves for their predicament. This is often attributed to children’s naivete, but children are not that naive. The son of an alcoholic father who comes home in a drunken rage several nights a week and beats him knows he’s being abused. But he will typically suppress that awareness and choose to believe that if he only behaved better he would be treated better. To understand why, consider the child's options. He can recognize the reality of his predicament, his essential helplessness, and resign himself to that reality. Or he can delude himself into believing that he is somehow "bad" and that if he becomes "good" his father will reciprocate and his situation will improve. The latter requires his enduring the "guilt" of feeling he is "bad" but preserves the fantasy that he has control over his situation and so fends off hopelessness. Children tend to avoid hopelessness at all costs, and adults do the same.

To either deny the threat of Islamo-fascism and see 9/11 as the work of a small group of terrorists who can be put out of business by issuing Interpol arrest warrants, or to blame America for 9/11, attribute the attacks to America’s being "bad," however that is defined, and insist that sufficient American reform and amends will end the threat, serves that same psychological impulse. The self-delusion serves to reduce an existential challenge to one manageable and resolvable by relatively easy steps entirely within the target’s own control. ...-

Barrak Obama*s Father *got around*

My understanding is that this half brother living in China is Mark. He’s the son of Obama’s father and an American woman named Ruth, whom Obama Sr. met while at Harvard in the 1960s and brought back to Kenya.

That was after his marriage with Obama’s mother in Hawaii ended. Another son from the union with Ruth, called David, was killed in a motorcycle accident. In all, Obama Sr. fathered eight children by four women.

Thanks, ET. I think I "get it"!

At the risk of being called a Janey One-Note, I'll posit that one of the only truly effective antidotes to suffering from "the Oslo Syndrome" (akin to the Stokholm Syndrome?) is a belief in a higher power that/who watches over one, and stengthens one's inner resolve and ability to face reality in order to be able to rebuff the temptation to give into one's captors' views.

An example of faith acting as an antidote to responding with despair and surrender to one's captors is Cornelia Johanna Arnolda (Corrie) ten Boom, a Dutch Christian and Holocaust survivor, who was able to maintain not only her sanity in a concentration camp (Ravensbruk) but was able to give others hope for the future.

After the War, ten Boom was honoured as one of "The Righteous Among the Nations" by the State of Israel, for her tireless work, before she herself was incarcerated by the Nazis, in saving Dutch Jews from the Gestapo by her family's home becoming a hiding place for them.

A perusal of Globe and Mail by election coverage, nearly a full day after the vote,

is still reporting the Libs with a five point spread in Quadra (as opposed to the .6% spread).

To put that in perspective, they've left in place(in the circumstances it must be knowingly) "news" of a Liberal lead that is more than NINE TIMES greater than the actual result.

After a day of the Liberal media's Bob Rae love in and seeing his smugness (Rae) featured on every talk show I just can't shake the feeling that I need a shower. Rae just gives me the creeps - he is like a snake oil salesman - onbe of those true blue con men - glib and practiced and he , in my opinion, is the front man for a very dangerous cabal of PowerCorporation with his borther VP John and Communist China cahoots big shot, Bob Rae's Uncle Maurice Strong.

Hang on, fellow Canadians, I think we are about to be hoodwinked by the smarmy underbelly of the most corrupt backroom elites this country has ever ever had - from Trudeau on - and now alive and well and getting ready to socialize our country again (or as Rae calls it - the Progressive Coalition).
By any other words Rae and the seedy underbellies who controlled this country under every PM since Trudeau mean communism. Now, more than ever we have to attack the Liberal media who are swooning for Rae as the new hope. Now more than ever we have to uncover those pulling the strings behind the scenes of the Liberal party and the media.

I am totally spooked out by this guy Rae anbd my grandmother's spidey sense for spotting a con man are tingling like crazy.

Anybody else just sense the sleeze here?

Hey Kate are you banned from CWB computers too, or are you one of their favs? heh.

She's also predicting a Spring election. Guess she's like the rest of the Liberal cloud dwellers, giddy they retained two Toronto seats, squeaked by in one and LOST one. sounds like a real winning scenario for the Conservatives who are well ahead in the latest polls, for what that's worth.

Having an election in Spring will not give much time for their new wonder members to strut their stuff in the HOC. It seems the media are the ones who most want an election, they can't bear Harper's success and good management. The longer he's in power the worse it will be for the Liberalis Feudum.

"Struggling to report on Tibetans

This is an interesting time to be a foreign correspondent in China. Like dozens of colleagues, I am near the border with Tibet but unable to get in.

I happen to be in Sichuan province. And I’ve been in contact with colleagues who I know are in Gansu and Qinghai provinces, all trying to get a feel for what’s going on among ethnic Tibetans.

It is not easy. We are face some measure of difficulty, trying to outsmart Chinese provincial authorities who would just as soon muzzle the foreign press at times like this.

None of us can enter Tibet, which is off limits to foreign reporters without a permit. I know of only one foreign journalist, James Miles of The Economist, who had the good fortune to be in Lhasa as events unfolded over the past few days.

So the rest of us spread out to neighboring provinces. There are 2.9 million Tibetans living in what is known as the Tibetan Autonomous Region, or for simplicity’s sake Tibet. But a couple million more dwell in adjacent provinces, often living near other minorities or the majority Han Chinese. I’m now in a city with a majority Tibetan population, although I won’t say which one it is.

Situation Resolved?

My apologies for the lack of updates - I have been without access to the internet for a number of days. Today people returned to the streets of Lhasa in droves. There are tons of Chinese police and army in the city but they are letting people wander without too much difficulty. Schools were also open today - hopefully all this means that there will not be any further escalation of the situation. Since the 14th things have quieted down dramatically - aside from a few booms and bangs we haven't been able to hear much from where we are. We have heard, however, that the authorities have been conducting night-time arrests in other parts of the city, but this is not confirmed. ...-

I just saw Mike Duffy Live late west coast edition. Babara Yaffe declared that the Libs only won by 5%. Duffy didn't correct her. Do they think we are crazy! I just went back on the net and the margin of victory is still less than 1%.

Sheesh. Has the result been readjusted up t 5% ?????? Or are Duffy and gang fools?

lmf: "Anybody else just sense the sleeze here?"

Totally. Power Corp have just been itching to get their man into the HOC.

If PMSH and the CPC had a sugar daddy like Paul Desmarais Jr./Power Corp, who'd been pulling the strings of government for over 30 years, the MSM would be exposing it, screaming bloody murder, headlining it every day, and the Canadian public would know within a week what was going on--and would likely say to themselves, "this isn't right."

The Librano$ and MSM have colluded for years to cover up this Granddaddy of Canadian scandals: Power Corp as The Puppet Master of Trudeau, Mulroney, Chretien, and Martin's Governments.

Throw in Mo Strong, "like an uncle" to the Rae family, and John Rae, VP of Power Corp, and you've got a modern-day soap opera of mammouth proportions.

How come no one's telling the story?

Re: Mo Strong is not "like an uncle" to Bob Rae and John Rae of PowerCorp - he IS their uncle. When Rae was Premier of Ontario he put this communist one world government shyster in charge of Ontarion Power and the nuclear industry!!!

Nepotism and from what Mo Strong has done in collusion with Saddam Husseim in the Oil for Food Scandal, as the architect of the money transfer scam called Kyoto and with multi billion dollar ties to communist China, Cuba, North Korea and Venzuala one might also quite rightly suspect that Maurice Strong is a highly suspect traitor to this country and to democracy.

I urge everyone to start reading up on this. Here is a good start, scandals that have been covered up by our media because this power cabal can squash any one of them like a bug. It is Bob Rae's power cabal - and the easily duped and stupified Canadian voter is just the inconvenient pawn to rape this country - again.:

Try this link_ copy in your friends- this is serious if you care about your country:

http://www.primetimecrime.com/Articles/RobertRead/Sidewinder%20page%201.htm

Search and follow the links about Sidewinder - a top secret CSIS report that we stupid Canadians and our pliant media covered up too.

That's just the nub of the chinese connections. Search for Chretien's Chinese connections, Paul Martin's, PowerCorp, Desmairais et al. These are world wide corruptions and we elect their puppets.
Terrifying stuff.

So Warren, with so many iPhones and web capabile devices in Canadian's pockets these days -- does anyone (besides WK) care if some liberal thought police try censorship in libraries ??

I thought to censor, was unliberal ? Guess not.

I can see why WK feels threatened, looses sleep over sda -- daily, Kate inspires tens of thousands of Canadians to 'think-about-it'.

Multiply that by hundreds and hundreds of blogs/websites -- media-fascism's days are numbered

Western Standard did an article on Mo Strong before it went defunct...

This is a link to Power Corporation:

http://www.powercorporation.com/index.php?lang=eng

Mo Strong is not, as far as I know, Bob Rae's uncle but he was such a good friend of the Rae family that the Rae children called him "Uncle Mo." In an article at the Canada Free Press Web site, July 29, 2002, this is how Maurice Strong's relationship to Bob Rae is explained: "...Ontario Premier Bob Rae ... remembered him as a friend of his father’s and called him 'Uncle Moe'."

http://www.canadafreepress.com/2002/ed72902.htm

I get the distinct impression that journalists and others are afraid to touch this story with a ten-foot pole. This is an octopus with hundreds of tentacles.

"Mo Strong is not "like an uncle" to Bob Rae and John Rae of PowerCorp - he IS their uncle" -- I thought Mo Strong was a close family friend -- I don't actually think he is a blood relative. Be that as it may -- the whole Strong/Power Corp. connection is very sinister. I do believe that was the reason we were "donating" money to China for years and years -- and, of course, Strong is the instigator behind all those Kyoto money transfers poised to go to China also. It is shocking that many Liberal supports are unaware of this elite oligarchy that via the Liberals will run the country for their own benefit and not for that of Canadians. They are brilliant at manipulation -- the Liberal media may choose to ignore this connection as a way of providing tacit support to the Liberals, but more likely even they have been hoodwinked.

lmf and Linda L.: Maurice Strong is a good family friend of the Rae family, specifically, Bob Rae's father, and apparently the Rae children refer to him as "Uncle Mo."

Google Maurice Strong and Bob Rae; there are a number of sites which make this point.

Oh thanks for the info. Close family friend - scary enough. Just like Justin Trudeau and good family friend "Uncle Fidel (Castro)" then?

So Bob Rae's father's good family friend was given the keys to ONtario's nuclear energy industry when he was Premier and if you read Sidewinder strangely enough the Chinese had direct access to this indistry.
May I also ask - why has a lot of this been covered up by Canadian media. Strong was fingered for corruption in the United Nations Oil for Food scandal. Headllines were around the world....but not in Canada.

Strange???????

http://www.lufa.ca/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=675

gives a lot of background on the very convoluted relationships of Canadian politicos and Power Corporation.

lmf: "Headllines were around the world....but not in Canada. Strange???????"

Not if you "get" the connection between the power brokers in Canada, politicians--specifically, Liberal politicians--and the mainstream media: circles within circles.

One association I find fascinating--and if it was Mulroney's daughter the MSM would have had a hay day--is that Jean Chretien's daughter, France, is married to Paul Desmarais Jr. of Power Corp. 'Not difficult to see, in light of this, why then PM Chretien decided against Canada's joining the U.S. in the war in Iraq. Power Corp has huge oil and gas holdings in Iraq through PetroGulfFina. War with Iraq would greatly jeopardize the Desmarais/Chretien family fortunes.

Conflict of interest? Liberal decision made on principle?

I don't think so.

Liberal decision not made on principle.

Conflict of interest? Definitely.

Where's Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein when you need them: All the Prime Minister's Men?

So, does it terrify you that this cabal now has another one of their own , Bob Rae, sitting in the catbird seat? With the CXanadian media literally bowing and undulating and lapping up every word he says to crown him their new supreme ruler?

What can we do?

Bob at 9:46, I believe the person that you are referring to is Mike Crowley, He is on the board of directors at Bellglobalmedia and took a 'vacation' to head up the Ontario liberals during the last federal election. I may have the wrong guy,there probably are more.Of course,this does not in any way suggest that ctv would ever,ever,slant their coverage to favour the liberal party.Ctv and cbc are respectable news organizations and to suggest otherwise would be un-canadian.

Imf asks: "What can we do?" -- unfortunately "we" can't do much. However, I am not sure how solid Bob Rae's position is in the Liberal party. Some do not like his turn-coat origins, moderates within the party may not be comfortable with his more left-leaning inclinations and background, and Iggy (as well as his substantial base of supporters) will not be especially pleased if Rae assumes the leadership because of what are perceived to be insider connections. I do not think that the deeply rooted divisions within the Liberal party are easily papered over. Dion as leader is only one problem to be overcome. Best to wait and see how it all unfolds.

LindaL - however, the real "defacto leaders" of the Liberal party are , and have been for more than 40 years, Mo Strong, PowerCorp and the desmairais.

The piddly little grass roots people and voters - bah - they can be bought, bribed, lied to, manipulated, and this same cabal can literally squash like a bug any other politicial party (Harper) that tries to keep them from the keys to our country.

We stupid Canadian voters are really no match for one of the most powerful cabals of billionaire elites in the backrooms of communist dictatorships and democracies pulling the strinbgs of world leaders all over the world.

Bob Rae is the annointed one - and "situations" can happen to get rid of any obstacles.

Right now the Liberals are praying and hoping for bad things to happen to all of us, our families, our jobs, our savings and our financial security so that will give them a chance to bring down the government. They are not ashamed to say they are hoping for a downturn in the economy to blame it on Harper.

They are connected to people who can make it happen.

Does Mo Strong still have that condo in Ottawa ? The one he bought to be close to PMPM ?

Just a reminder that Mo Strong is also an Honourary Board Member of the David Suzuki Foundation along with:

Margaret Atwood
James Burke
Dr. Paul Ehrlich
Peter Garrett
Gordon Lightfoot
Sting
Dr. E.O. Wilson
Sir Edward Goldsmith
Raffi Cavoukian

The tentacles of this octopus are many and wide-ranging.
