When you say you support "open immigration", this is the sort of thing you are supporting:

"Thousands of immigrants who tested positive for HIV before entering Canada have been allowed into the country, the Sun has learned.

Of 2,567 immigration hopefuls who tested positive for the disease that leads to AIDS from January 2002 -- when Ottawa first began screening -- to December 2006, only 126 were refused, said Lorraine Lavallee, spokeswoman for Citizenship and Immigration Canada.

For the most part, such applicants aren't considered a public health risk nor an excessive burden on the medical system, she said. "

Good job guys. Letting AIDS patients immigrate to Canada and sticking my generation with their health care bill. Good job. Open immigration supporting geniuses.

Sad, unbecoming a federal finance minister and dead wrong -- that's Ontario's response to Jim Flaherty's latest cannonade against the McGuinty government's economic stewardship, in which the Conservative's pocket battleship boldly predicted the nation's most populous province will soon need equalization handouts.

Joyce Arthur on the latest poll on Bill C-484.

QUOTE:

The results of an oversimplified national poll could lead to the recriminalization of abortion in Canada, according to Joyce Arthur, the spokesperson for Vancouver’s Pro-Choice Action Network (and coordinator of the Abortion Rights Coalition of Canada).

On March 13, Angus Reid Strategies released the results of its poll on Bill C-484 with the headline, "Canadians Support Bill Seeking Special Penalty for Crimes Against Pregnant Women".

...

Angus Reid Strategies’ director of global studies, Mario Canseco, told the Straight that the poll was not financed by any outside party and undertaken "out of our own interest". Canseco called Arthur’s criticism of the way the poll was conducted "normal" and added, "this is one of the ways people react to surveys that show that not everyone agrees with them".
...

Arthur described the bill as "lingering sexism", and said anti-abortion arguments all stem from a patriarchal view of women.

"They think a fetus should have some rights, there’s too many abortions, it’s used as birth control," Arthur said. "They feel the law should be making these decisions. But only a pregnant women can be making these decisions. Is this a blob to her, or a person?" *[Yeah because women who keep their pregnancies refer to their fetuses as "blobs"]

Arthur called the Angus Reid poll "dangerous".

...

People disagreeing with the feminist lobby is dangerous. *roll eyes*.

Another attempt by the MSM to bring down the Government is Under way, The bias reporting in the Mexican Martin case is obvious by the reporting of CTV's Laflame. She ends her report as this is more troubling for the conservatives.

Scumbag lawyers may take it up the wahzoo!

Lawyers involved in a landmark class-action lawsuit that won same-sex couples full access to Canada Pension Plan survivor benefits stand to lose millions thanks to an unexpected court development that blocks their ability to collect fees from pension funds.

A retainer agreement – approved by an Ontario court four years ago – called for the class-action lawyers to be paid 50 per cent of certain pension arrears to cover legal fees.

But in recent months, lawyers for the federal government came forward to challenge the arrangement.

In a Feb. 29 ruling, Justice Ellen Macdonald agreed with federal lawyers that the Canada Pension Plan – which prevents pension benefits from being claimed by others, including creditors – invalidates the fee agreement.

"She ends her report as this is more troubling for the conservatives"

I also heard a report where she referred to it as a "nightmare" for the conservatives. What is it with the media and one person in a foreign jail? Sure, check into it, but it's hardly a nightmare for the conservatives.

Commissar LaPhlegm at large and on message...those Conservatives are in big trouble, yadda, yadda, "thanks Lisa" and "your welcome Lloyd". Great SPIN reporting as usual.

What did she have to say when Bigmouth McTeague had no luck with the Mexican Legal "system' either?

Another thing, why are our government reps going to Mexico doing what amounts to a Mexican Asshat Dance? Why not hit the Mexicans in the breadbasket and put out a travel advisory, maybe then we'd get some attention. How many more incidents/murders do we need to take serious action?

SCREWED OVER. Farmers get an additional 9% reduction in education taxes bringing their total to 47%. Homeowners will get an additional 2% bringing their total to 12%. What a F'n rip off.

I'll say it again, what a F'n rip off. BRAD WALL you have f'ed over homeowners and I can't understand why. Homeowners in this province are being discriminated against by the tax system.

bryanr and Liz J: I posted this last night under Reader Tips:

...What the heck is going on with the media vis a vis the Brenda Martin case?

They're gunning for Jason Kenney, Prime Minister Stephen Harper, and the CPC: If they don't break Brenda Martin out of the Mexican jail she's in and bring her back home, they're not doing their job, according to Lisa Laflamme and Brenda Martin's best friend, who has been interviewed ad nauseum for the past few days.

As PMSH pointed out, on another piece on CPAC, if the Mexican President called him about a Mexican citizen in a Canadian jail, PMSH would have no jurisdiction to interfere with the Canadian judiciary.

I smell a rat here, as the media seem to want to back Kenney, PMSH, and their party into a corner on this issue.

Why has this become a cause celebre in our media? I think I already know the answer.

Addition to last night's comments: I'd sure like to know the political affiliation/orientation of Brenda Martin's "best friend." I'll bet she doesn't vote for the CPC.

Hmm - the CHRC are still trying to control public knowledge of the March 25th hearings. That's when some of their own staff will have to testify under oath that they themselves posted 'hate comments' on blog sites.

How will they achieve this, since so many have, publicly, criticized their original desire to have the hearings closed to the public?

They are now saying that they might permit a video of the hearings - sent to a separate room. They say this is for security purposes but this doesn't make any sense. After all, the witness could have a cream pie thrown at them outside in the street; Warner himself advocates such acts as the epitome of free speech.

BUT, no cameras or tapes of that video. Doesn't this mean that if you heard someone testify something, you would have no record of that testimony? You might ask for a copy of the video, but, alas and alack - the CHRC might have already lost it.

By the way, for those who think that Ontario won't forget Rae's deficits, I think you are wrong. Read Jim Travers of the Star today. He treats Rae as the Saviour. He was around as a political voice in the Star in Ontario for that deficit disaster; yet, he says nothing about it.

Travers writes of Rae and Findlay: "Each adds real-world experience and, in Rae's case, it gets the priceless knowledge that comes with winning an election and losing a government. Together they should offer an alternative to a vision Conservatives know isn't shared by two of three Canadians"

"Obvious now is that the benefits of Rae's return to Parliament after years at Queen's Park and beyond comes with fine print Dion needs to read slowly and understand clearly."

Rae has 'priceless knowledge' and 'benefits'. Not a whisper about it being disastrous.

ET: "Read Jim Travers of the Star today. He treats Rae as the Saviour. He was around as a political voice in the Star in Ontario for that deficit disaster; yet, he says nothing about it."

Of course Travers mentions nothing about the deficit disaster and proclaims Rae as the Saviour: 1) He writes for the TorStar, 2) he's an unabashed and shameless cheerleader for the Librano$, and 3) his nose is growing by the day--and I'm surprised he's not tripping on it by now.

Check him out on Don Newman's Politics, where he's one of Mr. Newman's so-called "political pundits."

You're not going to get an informed or enlightened opinion from Jim Travesty: only warmed-up, tired, pro-Librano jingoism. 'Just too bad that too many Canadians seem to have got used to stale bread as a steady diet.

i could not help to notice that in some prior MSM reports the word Photo-Op was used, 2 days later family & friends of Ms Martin are using the Photo-Op Reference in their Pleas to the PM. No reference to Photo-Op in former PM Martins visit or McTeagues, Even in the next riding to me Liberal MP Stekle is now getting alot of radio time because he has started a Petition.
My take on this, i feel for Ms Martin & what she has endured & Iam sure that everything possible is being done. But if ever their was a Sleaze tactic of Photo-Op being used Its the Liberals in their use of this Womens plight to tarnish the PM.

Extremely strong causal link suggested between homosexuality, bisexuality, and mental health:

"It found that gay men were much more likely than heterosexual men to have consulted a doctor or medical specialist in the year prior to the survey.

Among women, lesbians were less likely than heterosexual women to have seen a family doctor in the year prior to the survey or to have undergone a pap test in the three previous years.

Relatively large proportions of bisexuals reported mental health problems, the study noted. Bisexual men were more than twice as likely as heterosexual men to perceive their mental health as fair or poor, and for bisexual women the proportion reporting fair or poor mental health was three times that of heterosexual women, the findings showed."

www.nationalpost.com/todays_paper/story.html?id=386932

Now I see why they are trying to turn kids gay: profit.

More gays equals more jobs for psychiatrists and social workers, therefore there is a financial incentive for health care professionals and the taxspending industry to encourage homosexuality early, ideally when children are too young to know any better, then profit.

batb - oh, I fully agree with your view of Travers. He's a committed Liberal. I've emailed him many times to say: 'Your Liberal bias is showing'.

It infuriates him; he writes back and claims that he is NOT a Liberal but merely writes his own 'small l-liberal opinions'.

He wrote me: "And being a small l liberal doesn't commit me to vote for any paricular party and certainly is self evident to anyone who reads more than a couple of columns."

He maintains he is fair and open.

He's now banned me from his email! (Goes to his junk mail, he says). I still write him and tell him: 'Your Liberal bias is showing'. heh.

A few years ago a Doctor, with a specialized area of practice, was deported from Calgary. Several citizens petitioned for him to stay. He had a family, needed medical expertise, beautiful home and was involved in the community.
Reason for not being allowed to stay, he had a son with Downs and was considered a future burden on our health care system.
He went back to the USA.
Guess he should have hid out in a Church, with his son.

MaryT: Post a link or it didn't happen.

Canada has a documented problem with females who tell unverifiable yet powerfully emotional "stories", usually in pursuit of policy options which benefit them personally. Sometimes they just do it out of sheer stupidity, though.

I think Canada needs more heterosexual men commenting on public affairs, and fewer emotionally torqued unverified rumours from female storytellers, who are statistically and significantly more prone to mental illness and frankly unbelievable stories than their male counterpars.

"He went back to the USA. "

American doctors with families almost never move to Canada, by the way, which makes your story virtually impossible to believe.

Even so, we don't make policy options based on emotions, or specific incidents involving single individuals; this is a country of 33 million and there are bound to be a few sob stories, get a tissue.

"The trial judge also concluded that the psychiatric effect of the fly-in-the-bottle incident was due to Mr. Mustapha’s particular sensibilities to such an event. Acknowledging that Mr. Mustapha’s reaction was “objectively bizarre”, the trial judge found that his background in the Middle East, “where the devotion to and concern for the family is at a higher level than is found in North America,” combined with “the higher level of cleanliness and avoidance of insects practised by this family than is usual”

Anti-Semitism and the War on Terror

German scholar Matthias Küntzel is the author of the widely discussed book Jihad and Jew-Hatred: Islamism, Nazism and the Roots of 9/11 (Telos Press, 2007). Küntzel’s central thesis is that a great deal of contemporary Islamist anti-Semitism comes directly from the Third Reich, that it was institutionalized in the Middle East during the Second World War, and that is has grown ever since, thanks to organizations and individuals who--in many cases-- received direct ideological, political, and financial support from the Nazis and who are still very active.

Access to audio and video webcasts of the event and to two of Kuntzel's articles is available at the link above.

Go to Ezra Levant's web site to "What exactly is the March 25th hearing about?" For anyone interested in the travesty of justice which are our CHRCs, this is a "must read".

Paragraph four starts with "Here is a transcript"—of Hannya Rizk's cross examination by Marc Lemire's lawyer. It has to be read to be believed. After quoting a few paragraphs (it takes about an hour to read the whole darn thing), Ezra writes, “These are just a few of the items in this single transcript that are staggering examples of conflict of interest, collusion and downright corruption of the CHRC process.” (Possible criminality too, if you ask me.)

March 25th, when the Stoats and Weasels at the CHRC aren’t going to be able to hide anymore, is going to be a Red Letter Day!

Fraser Nelson, Al-Qa’eda’s secret UK gangs: terror as a ‘playground dare’

After 12 thwarted plots and three failed ones, the picture of the enemy has never been clearer. The typical British terrorist is not angry about poverty (as Cabinet Office guidance suggested four years ago) but is usually an apparently well-integrated Muslim who is likely to have a degree, often in engineering. Frequently, however, he will be in a relatively low-prestige job and may find a macabre attraction in the profile of a suicide bomber. What is common to all is a psychological trait it is all but impossible to screen for: the need for a substitute family, a willingness to be brainwashed by al-Qa’eda...

Obama's Anger:

...
In Bayou country I lived on boats and in doublewide trailers, and like the rest of the Vietnamese refugees, I shopped at Wal-Mart and ate a lot of rice. When they arrived in Louisiana the refugees had no money (the money that they had was used to bribe their way out of Vietnam and into refugee camps in Thailand), few friends, and a mostly unfriendly and suspicious local population.

They did however have strong families, a strong work ethic, and the "Audacity of Hope." Within a generation, with little or no knowledge of English, the Vietnamese had achieved dominance in the fishing industry there and their children were already achieving the top SAT scores in the state.

While I had been fishing my new black friend had been working as a prison psychologist in Missouri, and he was pursuing a higher degree in psychology. He was interested in my story, and after about an hour getting to know each other I asked him point blank why these Vietnamese refugees, with no money, friends, or knowledge of the language could be, within a generation, so successful. I also asked him why it was so difficult to convince young black men to abandon the streets and take advantage of the same kinds of opportunities that the Vietnamese had recently embraced.

His answer, only a few words, not only floored me but became sort of a razor that has allowed me ever since to slice through all of the rhetoric regarding race relations that Democrats shovel our way during election season:

"We're owed and they aren't."

In short, he concluded, "they're hungry and we think we're owed. It's crushing us, and as long as we think we're owed we're going nowhere."

Shaken re: "Who espouses population reduction"?

Bob Rae's "Uncle" Maurice Strongt has been part of a movement for years and years advocating this.

He is now hiding out in China building cheap autos to flood the North American markets and decimate our auto industry and is also involved with helping China build hundreds and hundreds of new coal fired electricity generating plants.

The "Father" of Kyoto who decreed that China, his little pet communist country, would be excempt and just receive billions from Canada to, ta da, fund new coal fired plants and cheap autos.

China has a one child policy - I'm sure Uncle Mo approves.

A 'good' Canadian citizen finds rolls of DND papers in some street garbage can.

*And leaves them, until after they eat out.*

*Leaves them.*

Apparently on their way home, they find that the papers are still there, in the garbage.

So what does he, and his partner, do?

They take only one roll of the 7 marked with the DND stamp.

They leave the other rolls in the garbage can, for any other passer-by to take home.

And they take their find, not to the DND authorities, or the police, but to his office the Rideau Institute.

Then they go to the Ottawa Citizen.

http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2008/03/20/blueprints-ottawa.html

"The newspaper said Anthony Salloum and his spouse spotted the seven rolls of Defence Department documents on March 13 but only picked up one of them.

Salloum, who works for the Rideau Institute, later showed them to his colleagues to try to figure out what the documents were and then revealed them to the Citizen.

The Citizen says the Rideau Institute was arranging to return the blueprints to the Defence Department."

But, one has to ask if either of these finders really would not have any clue that these rolls could be top secret, or classified. Look at their site:

http://www.rideauinstitute.ca/site/c.doIELOOuGnF/b.3348213/

"What Does it Do?
Because of its close proximity to Parliament Hill and national newsrooms, the Rideau Institute specializes in monitoring activities in government and communicating with Members of Parliament and other decision makers.

To accomplish that, the institute publishes and distributes research, organizes special briefings by experts and specialists, holds press conferences, and undertakes other related activities."

Bottom line is they were willing to leave sensitive material behind, and not return to the owner, but go to the media.

Something sounds a tad off.

LONDON -- Readers and journalists got a shock Wednesday when they saw the headlines in the Daily Express and the Daily Star: "Kate and Gerry McCann: Sorry."

Both newspapers ran rare Page 1 apologies to the parents of missing child Madeleine McCann, acknowledging there was no evidence to support claims they caused their daughter's death.

[...]

"Express Newspapers regrets publishing these extremely serious, yet baseless, allegations," said the papers' lawyer, Stephen Bacon.

The McCanns said the newspapers had been called to account for "grotesque and grossly defamatory allegations."

On the subject of the CHRC and "Lucy", I wrote to the CHRC to open the hearing and cc'd my MP David Sweet. Today I see they've bravely decided to close the hearings. Big no-surprise there.

At any rate, I've heard nothing back from the CHRC office, again no surprise, but I did get a phone call from David Sweet, live and in living color. That surprised me. He's on this ball like a terrier, and was less than impressed that they hadn't even sent an acknowledgment.

So today the CHRC got a "what are you doing?" phone call from at least one government MP.

I encourage EVERYBODY to call your MP, TODAY, and get them calling these CHRC mandarins up. I could be wrong, but I'm thinking the last thing on earth any Ottawa middle management dork wants is a phone call from half the MPs in the House, wanting to know just what they think they're doing.

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) - Palestinian militants accidentally set off a large blast at a Hamas training base in the central Gaza Strip on Thursday, killing two members of the violent Islamic group and wounding another, a Palestinian medical official said.

Travers is a lying liar liberal. He certainly doesn't represent what people in Ontario remember about Radical Rae. Plus, the headlines and news footage captured at the time will certainly be enough of a reminder, when the time comes.

I don't exactly see the parallel between the Danish cartoons and the scribblings of a detained enemy combatant, nor am I vexed by his alleged mistreatment. But you be the judge:

All cartoons are not equal, some are more equal than others

Western democratic freedoms include the freedom to publish cartoons right? That’s what many Danes seem to think anyway.

A friend of mine emailed me a link to this Al Jazeera article. The cartoons don’t show beloved Prophets in derogatory ways, so why are they banned? Because they are embarrassing to the United States government. Somehow, I don’t think the right-wing nutzoid blogs will be clamouring for freedom of speech in this case.

If???they accidentally saw 7 rolls of blueprints and walked away, what kind of cdn are they. If??? they only took one where are the other 6.
Who left them out there to be found, and who told the finders where to look. Somebody better be fired or charged with spying. Does that hippy kid work for the DND, you remember, the one who leaked a Baird report. Wouldn't DND workers have to sign a secrecy pledge. This stinks to high heaven.

I was just going to tell the good news batb's provided. YEAH!!

Now, why didn't the CHRC simply concede this long ago? The good thing is they've outed themselves by their ridiculous butt covering. We now know pretty well inside out the CHRC's decrepit game plan, as well as the duplicity, to the point of, possibly, illegality, of such operatives as Dean Steacy (who, because of the ridiculous posturing of the CHRC, to protect his "distinguishing features", I now know is blind: in more ways than one, methinks!) and Richard Warman. Let the hearing commence!

I have to admit I feel like the audience must have felt in the Coliseum just before the lions were let out to meet the gladiators, who didn’t deserve their fate, while the CHRC thugs and bullies certainly do. Sorry, but it’s schadenfreude, big time!

Israeli mathematician cracks 38-year-old puzzle

JERUSALEM - A mathematical puzzle that baffled the top minds in the esoteric field of symbolic dynamics for nearly four decades has been cracked by a 63-year-old immigrant who once had to work as a security guard.

Avraham Trahtman, a mathematician who also toiled as a labourer after moving to Israel from Russia, succeeded where dozens failed, solving the elusive "Road Colouring Problem."

The conjecture essentially assumed it's possible to create a "universal map" that can direct people to arrive at a certain destination, at the same time, regardless of starting point. Experts say the proposition could have real-life applications in mapping and computer science.

The "Road Colouring Problem" was first posed in 1970 by Benjamin Weiss, an Israeli-American mathematician, and a colleague, Roy Adler, who worked at IBM at the time. ...-

Paul Scofield: may he rest in peace.

I'm going to watch "A Man for All Seasons" in his memory.

In this infantile age--whatever--we don't seem to make men of the calibre of either Thomas More or Paul Scofield.

I wonder if soon we will be hearing from the Canadians who have had their rights messed with by the HRC.
One case was the print shop owner who refused to print gay material.I wonder if Lucy Warman was behind it.
There are others ...who are they?

I also think there is something very fishy about the blueprint "find" The "finder" is Anthony Salloum who is a key person in the Rideau Institute -- much involved in the anti-war movement. (One affilate is Ceasefire.org) -- seems to be a spawn of Polaris Istitute. It is not clear where the funding for the Rideau Institute comes from -- I would be interested to know more. In a discussion following a CBC story on this, someone notes:

"Anthony Salloum happens to be an Assistant to Alexa McDonough, M.P., New Democratic Party."

O.K., I can go with coincidence to a point, but something that surprises me is that blueprints that are current would be tossed in the garbage. Presumably this is a curbside garbage outside of a restaurant-- not a government garbage or even a architectural agencies garbage. Now I have done government consulting and you do not just "toss things" -- for one thing, there are security clearance requirments -- but even ignoring that, most of us keep material like this for years. Nonone would carelessly toss something related to a current project. I smell a set-up. (Though admittedly, that in itself is a breach of security.) I suspect a rogue employee from the architectural firm may be involved.

Is Ms. Martin still claiming to not know any Spanish? I don't believe that one; she's been in Mexico how long?
