Will they promise to submit to Sharia law once Israeli 'apartheid' is eliminated?

Who gives a rat's a** what English MPs think? (And I'm of British heritage, through and through.)

What bloody hypocrites. They've allowed their country to become a dhimmied cesspool and they're telling Albertan cowboys what to do with their cattle and their free time?

Get a life, Brit MPs. Attend to the timber in your own eye before casting your myopia across the Big Pond.

As for the CBC, why are comments closed? Were there too many commenters agreeing with my POV and Kate's?

Shibboleths, Kate, as you well know.

You could easily pair this with your latest post about the Journolist. In the U.S., the media circle the wagons around Obama because he's black and blacks cannot be racist. In Canada, the media circle the wagons around GBLT because GBLT persons can't be wrongfully hateful.

" a $15,000 full-page advertisement in the Calgary Herald questioning the ethics of the calf-roping event.The ad, which appeared in the newspaper's sports section, shows a calf on its side while a cowboy tries to tie its legs with a rope. The text asks: "That's entertainment?""

It would be interesting to test the entertainment value the calf-roping event, with at twist. Let a couple of cowboy teams demonstrate their calf-roping skills during a session in the UK House of Commons. I'd wager that after two wraps and hooey on a few MPs the British people would send up a cheer of delight not heard since the end of the WW2.

Oh well, another 50 UK-EU Kommies who needn't bother applying for a visa ;-)

Seriously, Britain is such a public policy cesspool, who cares what these demented control freaks have to say.

Go lick the boots of your Brussels over-lords and put a sock in that jealous rhetoric when you criticize free men or free nations.

The CBC can report this as 'someone else's' point of view, when really it is their point of view. Stop all funding to the CBC.

Hear, hear, batb and Jim!

It is interesting to note that not only are there no-go areas in the UK for non-muslims but that their "alternative lifestyle" (or what-ever current PC label for funny-boys) are now subject to violent assault on a daily basis.

This alliance of anti-social elements is doomed to fail with the anti-semitic elements anchored firmly in the Islamo-fascist camp.

As far as the Stampede....with such potent elements such as PETA abroad...is this really all that surprising?

Remember in the UK the sport of Steeple Chase and fox hunting were ended by these elements.

At least screw their poll.

Excellent!

How about an ad showing two naked cowboys on their sides having fun on a cold mountain, and, depending on who's making the "film," tying each other up to heighten their, ummm, enjoyment?

"That's entertainment?"

I've gotta tell ya,' roping calves is much less offensive to me than roping humans -- something you can see on prime-time TV when the kids are watching.

Are these idiots complaining about this?

Rob, CBC is getting a licking in the comments. SDA gets results. I submitted a comment: "The CBC should be banned." I wonder if it will be posted.

Read the comments @ the related article on cbc
my fav.
"Tally-ho Hows that fox hunt goin"

Someday i would like to see these headline's

"Canadian Govt. says no more taxpayer funding of CBC"

"CBC purchased by BBC & the EU"

Sorreey its the heat

When I saw the conflation of rodeo, the UK and the UK special status for the polygamous propagators of peace I feared that the discussion would gravitate toward a type of rodeo wherein the cowboys roped and hogtied, well, you know...

always amazes me as to the stupidity of some people. calf roping is an actual real chore that ranchers do all the time. I am glad these whinny wusses have never seen a branding. calf hears the whoosh of a rope then next thing he... er it knows, horns are gone, oysters are in a bucket, got a needle (not swine flu) and a new tattoo. All done faster than I typed this.

or maybe they misheard steer roping and thought they said queer roping. whatever...

I don't care one way or another for rodeos but let's put a few things in perspective. How much harm could one hundred and fifty pound man do to a calf weighing 25 to 45 kilograms (55 to 99 lb) or a steer weighing 750 kilograms (1,650 lb)? Granted, I might weigh only slightly more than that calf and I wouldn't like a stocky cowboy jumping on me but then again I could kick the cowboy. And so could the calf.
Providing the animals are cared for and not harmed, this shouldn't shock urban dwellers who contend with small breed dogs on a semi-daily basis.
If the rodeo was run by some Islamofascists hog-tying their child-brides, would this be protected and funded federally?

The new satire. Just say the sane thing. Nicely done Kate!!!
All these people who hate a entertainment like this, are just people who don't like to be reminded life to have adventure, or to live it with vibrancy, entails risks. Death is uneasy for them to square with their Socialist Utopia.
It shows them the empty shell, existence has become for them. To the extent they have made animals human.
While crying for the calf they eat veil.
The discord from reality is disturbing, not the death of a man or animal, in the presuit of competition.
Memo to them. Where all going to die , enjoy life. This is not cruelty its symbiotic behavior by animal & man for a purpose. More than you have siting on the couch.

OTOH,about 600 British MP's did not sign on to this stupidity. CBC forgot to mention that little fact.

Activists? Aren't those people who protest against unwanted government intrusion in their lives also 'activists'? I guess you actually have to be a proggie to qualify as a 'real' activist. If I wear a 'Che' T-shirt while I protest against the compulsory long census form will I get the attention of the Ceeb?

At the Superdogs presentation I watched before taking in the team penning one of the dogs had a spill.

Will the Humane Societies (Vancouver and now Calgary; AKA as fronts for PeTa) start picketing and protesting the Superdogs?

Horse racing in UK - How many horses die?

Methinks the UK activists have enough to do on their own turf -literally!

I think this story is bizarre -- I'll bet only 1/10th of those MP's ever heard of the Calgary Stampede before this motion was introduced -- by whom? I expect the motion had a lot of overblown rhetoric -- such that no one would vote against it. It is foolish for the CBC to run this kind of superficial fluff aimed at furthering a left-leaning agenda. Enough already -- get rid of the CBC.
