I don't know if this has been posted earlier,if so my apologies. Yesterday,in the House of Commons,the high priestess of the NDP party,Libby Davies,removed all doubt that the dippers are totally out of touch with reality.They have jumped the shark,plunged off the cliff,and proven to all but the most delusional,that they are to be ridiculed and scorned at every opportunity. Ms. Davies,presented a petition calling on Canada to ask the U.S. to re-open the 9/11 investigation. Yep,it was an inside job,please stop blaming radical islam. I will be sending her some tin foil.

"Canada, home to the world's second- biggest crude oil reserves, may consider setting up a sovereign wealth fund to invest windfalls from record energy prices, Finance Minister Jim Flaherty said."


So when they are the world's biggest 'polluter' of CO2 emissions they are called tar-sands and it's in Alberta. But when they are the world's 2nd biggest oil reserves and hold the possibility of being a sovereign wealth fund they are Canada's.

Hope I got that straight.

Good news from Connie at Free Dominion - her lawyer was notified that M. Korngold-Wexler has withdrawn herself as a mediator. Apparently says no connection between her and XXXXX but she is withdrawing nevertheless. Right. We will take it any way it is served - bottom line, she is out of the picture. On with the meaning of deadlines (or not).

Interesting to learn that taxpayers are being so well served (or not) by two units supposedly at arms length of DND - the CF Grievance Board and the CF Grievance Authority. How many ex CHRC people are on staff at one or the other of these units. One can only hope that the men and women in the forces are served well because they didn't create them nor can they do anything about them.

The snide commenter earlier, MsMew, could have saved us all some time/effort this a.m. rather than simply denigrating commentors at large on the thread for not knowing this little small but important existance/connection. It seems that bureaucrats can, after all, move very quickly when they feel their ***es on the front burner.

The "CF Warmanesque Wackjob Troop"?

The "CF Hey-Let's-Justify-a-Paycheque-and-go-Grieve-Someone-and-support-my-build-a-hottub-fund"?

Aye, Karthanon, the Grief-To-Cash Alchemy-Authority. They had a similar procedure in Britain during WWII, in the RAF:

"He goes up in flames, yeah? Loses control of all, like, the plane and that, and and he's going down, plunging right down -- and he clips my wing, and I almost lose control of my plane."

"No."

"And then he cries out, I hear him, he's all like, 'I don't want to die.'"

"That is so random. You must have been right traumatized."

"Do you know what I mean? So I goes to the group commander, yeah, the next day, and I says, 'look, I saw this geezer die, yeah, and I almost died myself, and I want some compensation..."

"You should get some compensation for that. That is, like, a really bad thing to happen..."

"...but he goes, 'no way blood, F-off.'"

"That's very disrespecting of you."

"So then, this is me to him, okay: 'I ain't going up in my plane no more if you don't give me compensation..."

Before the second world war the government of Germany passed a whole lot of stupid and restrictive laws in their efforts to stop the rise of Hitler. At a later point in this era when Hitler came to power he used those same laws against any opposition. When the pendulum swings the other way all the laws will be in place, most are now, to maintain control legally as did Hitler. It's really quite simple and all it takes is a strong leader with a little charisma, unfortunately Harper is falling a way short in this department, he is in bad need of a make over.

As I see events unfolding that time could be a lot closer than most would think, if---, if, the Harper crew was smart. Escalating gas prices are a once in a life time springboard opportunity but I don’t think they see the way to power past wooing the east in all the wrong ways.

At present high gas prices can be the savior of Conservatism or the perfect tool of the left to seize control.

Cable's not finished. "Someone said Dolores should be a good Canadian patriot and just give her theme to the CBC for free, that she owes it to Canada. How ridiculous. When you're a professional, when it's how you make your living, you don't give away your services for free.""

Someone just emailed me this morning,

Subject: Awesome Senior's Moment!

It happened in a Metro station in Montreal.

There were protesters on the concourse handing out pamphlets on the evils of Canada.

I politely declined to take one.

An elderly woman was behind me getting
off the escalator and a young (20-ish)
female protester offered her a pamphlet,
which she politely declined.

The young protester put her hand on the woman's shoulder as a gesture of friendship and in a very soft voice said,

'Lady, don't you care about the children
of Iraq ?'

The elderly woman looked up at her and said,

'Honey, my father died in France during
World War II,

I lost my husband in Korea ,
and a grandson in Afghanistan.

All three died so you could have the right to stand here and bad mouth our country.

If you touch me again,
I'll stick this umbrella up your ass and open it.'

God Bless Canada.

So now Ottawa, who cant seem to find time to deal with the HRC issue between apologies, is going to ensure that Canadians dont download music for free. How noble. While I certainly agree that artists should be credited for their work, is that not why we pay a levy on ALL recordable media in this country? Whether we are using it to record music, or computer code, it matters not. The recoding industry gets a cut of the purchase price. Just like they asked for. Just like they wanted. Just like they said would be fair, reasonable and adequate. Oh and by the way, just like the Supreme Court said they got what they wanted, so no penalties for downloading music.

So now, just like at the pumps, we will get to pay multiple levies. Because I have my doubts that this is an "either - or" situation.

14:21 The Lisbon Treaty looks set to be rejected by the Irish people as counting of votes continues around the country this afternoon.With 19 of 43 constituencies declared, the No vote is leading by 54.7 per cent to 45.3 per cent. All but two constituencies, Dublin South and Dublin North, have rejected the treaty. In Fine Gael leader Enda Kenny's Mayo constituency, the treaty has been rejected by a large 61.7 per cent of voters.

Those numbers are pretty resounding.

God bless the Irish. The Celtic spirit of insurrection hasn't been completely obliviated by the mind grinders in Brussels.

Funded mainly by the Danish government, this research panel comprises 50 leading economists, including five Nobel Laureates, and has spent two years applying cost benefit analysis methods to a list of global challenges — disease, pollution, conflict, terrorism, climate change, water and so on.

Its conclusions are hardly likely to win Lomborg new fans in the eco movement, for global warming comes so far down the list of urgent priorities that it doesn’t make the top ten...

....Would-be immigrants will "have to meet the instructions first, then go through the point system," explained Danielle Norris, spokesperson for Citizenship and Immigration Canada. If the instructions are that Canada needs 3,000 welders and 1,000 accountants, for example, that's the first criterion. If none of the applicants in New Delhi are welders or accountants, they don't get through to the next stage.....

....The quotas are set every November "to bring in people to Canada from all corners of the world to benefit Canadians," said Norris, not based on who wants to come, in a kind of global diversity balancing act....

Compare comments about Canada's surplus in Jeffrey Simpson's column,(Globe and Mail), on the OECD report to what the Secretary General, Angel Gurria, said in an CTV, Mike Duffy Live interview.

Blogger 'Right from Alberta' captured some of the interview.

Simpson wrote:

"The OECD notes that the Harper government has emptied the federal treasury of surpluses, raising the prospect of a small deficit."

Gurria on his CTV interview said of the report's findings on Canada:

"....you are doing very well....that you have been doing very well for about 17 years. *You have now, a surplus in your budget.* You have relatively low inflation. And you are creating jobs. Your unemployment numbers are lower than the average of the OECD. So, you are doing very well...."

I would include the link, but the filter holds blogger links sometimes, I think.

It is easy to google, and the interview is worth watching for being mainly positive where Canada is concerned.

The publication of Let Me Stand Alone: The Journals of Rachel Corrie adds yet another item to the growing body of Corrie memorabilia.

The Journals are of interest primarily because they provide insight into how a young American girl ended up in Gaza with the ISM, trying to protect terrorist operations and demonizing Israel, about how anti-Israel propaganda and the ISM work, and about who or what actually killed Rachel Corrie...

One month anniversary of the Sichuan earthquake:

"An 8-year-old boy stands in front of the pile of rubble that had once been his school and explains that he was the last student to have been pulled out alive. When the earth shook, he was one of the obedient children sitting with arms crossed at their desks—some naughty boys were still outside, safe on the playground. For ten frantic minutes, trapped between a piece of concrete and brick on the second floor, he waited. His cries couldn’t be heard over the wailing adults, but finally when the crowd outside the collapsing school quieted down they heard him and came to rescue him with their bare hands.

In the first days after the quake, he couldn’t return to the pile of debris that had once been his three-storey school, but with the help of a volunteer teacher from his tent school, he has visited the site several times and now is not afraid when he comes back. Today, at 2:28, exactly one month after his world shattered, the boy and another child from the tent school placed their hands on their hearts, then bowed three times, saying goodbye to their friends who died at the Hongbaizhen Primary School. Finally these brave survivors vowed: “We will live our lives as best we can.”

Another American blogger on Mark Steyn, the 'Roos... and the NYT:

Abe Greenwald, Steyn of the Times

Yesterday, the New York Times weighed in on the case with a story by Adam Liptak. To his great shame, Liptak took at face value the characterization of Steyn’s article as hate speech...

The problem is Steyn does not portray “Muslims as all sharing the same negative characteristics.” However, one would never learn this from reading Liptak’s article because Steyn’s original piece is never quoted or described. This is particularly damaging because Liptak has built his entire article around the assumption that Steyn’s work constitutes hate speech and that such speech, though loathsome, is uniquely protected in America.

Yet no one, it seems, can protect thought-provoking writers from the intellectual laziness of the New York Times.

Excellent post article, an excerpt:

In the whole of the industrialized world, the OECD ranks Australia's and New Zealand's farming sectors as the healthiest. Not coincidentally, they are also the freest and least dependent on government handouts. Even though both are geographically detached from all export markets, aggressive trading by farmers has made their agri-sectors among the most profitable in the world.

I believe that reality extends beyond agriculture, and is critical in manufacturing, fabrication, services, among others.

So why exactly does the Canadian government spend $20 billion per year handing out the dole to welfare cases in business suits?

Oh. Of course.

Not very 'conservative' of them, is it?

"The confrontation got ugly after Mr. Blackburn called the non-profit organizations "local bureaucracies" who sit around a table dreaming about what to offer next. "Then they would send us the bill," the federal minister said last week."

To be fair, the Cons are attempting to clean up what appears to be a greasy porkbarrelling of cash to favoured constituents.

Sadly, they aren't cancelling or reducing them: the Cons are just ensuring that the favoured constituents being rewarded is their people from now on....

Demand a Public inquiry of the NISA Program. Agricultural tribunals are far worse than HRC tribunals. Paper filing only. Then try to find out who lied to the tribunal and why. You forgot the NISA Program already sent to three different Justice Departments. Which one has jurisdiction is not known.
I would like to finally see some criminal charges laid.
This could be in the billions.
This should have been the simpliest case if not for the lawyers. You have to have a lawyer for a class but you can't make them work for you.
Next the Family Options Program.

"Why Europe Should Listen to Ireland

Ireland shot down the Lisbon Treaty in a referendum held on Thursday. Already, EU politicians are branding the Irish as ingrates. But it is exactly that kind of arrogance which helped lead to the Irish "no" in the first place."

Hardboiled are you a Liberal?

As a minority govt, the CPC has to play by the lavish spending rules established by the previous Crooked Liberal Party du Quebec.

The only real time a newly elected govt can make real changes is immediately after they win a majority govt.

That's because the strategy is to make the feared/hated changes and hope the voters will find out they are not that that bad, or even are good changes, before the next election.

Also the majority govt hopes like hell that if the voters do not like the changes, they'll forget about them by the next election anyway.

If Harper did as you suggest right now, he would absolutely hand the Crooked Liberals a majority govt again.
And I'm leaving if that happens again.

You make lots of good comments but you are naive/inexperienced politically. heh.

Caledonia standoff with peacefully protesting Natives continues....

Any takers that the GM blockade ends first?

Conservatism - played through a political lens - is abandoning principles for power.

That is wrong.

If I wanted our 'leaders' to to that, I'd vote Librano.

It would shorten the string.

Partisanship is idiocy.
