Renegade Regulator

Restore CSA;

The Canadian Standards Association (CSA) is about to announce their new CEO. This new hire replaces Ash Sahi, the former CEO that RestoreCSA managed to chase out the door late last year. Since Sahi’s firing, the CSA has been run by a committee of executives and, as everyone knows, the best way to efficiently and decisively run any organization is through an unwieldy, bureaucratic committee.

MEDIA RELEASE: Baby squirrel gets surgery and a chance to return to the wild

Thelma is a squirrel, about 11 weeks old. Her rescuers want to return her to the wild, but she suffered from glaucoma in her right eye. The eye was blind, inflamed and obviously painful. For Thelma’s health, the eye needed to be removed.

The Convenient Memory Lapses of a Liberal

Though Charles Adler left his radio gig in Winnipeg to move to Vancouver, he has a new show on satellite radio, from which a podcast is published as well. In the most recent episode he interviews Warren & Lisa Kinsella. Much of the talk was about the Canadian Senate. Mrs. Kinsella has a “unique” perspective starting around 19:00 into the podcast:

“Because Stephen Harper first, of course, stacked the Senate. So we have an imbalance in the Senate. We have Conservatives dominating it.”

Her comment necessitated a quick check of Senate appointments:

Stephen Harper: 59 Tories
Jean Chretien: 72 Liberals + 3 Independents

It’s most interesting that such a prominent Liberal made such a comment, considering that her husband was one of Chretien’s BFF’s during his tenure as PM. Conveniently short memories.

Reader Adrian, via email;

I know Mark Steyn has been variously covered about the same thing, Douglas Murray in another piece from Gatestone, pointing out much some of the same.
And it is just the same few brave souls, how it has changed, in our short lives, going from the noble tent dweller, via some obscure threat that must surely be a laugh at about Salmon Rushdie, to death on the streets of Europe. It is now the most pervasive part of everyone on the planets life. From Cassius Clay and Cat Stevens to world domination in a generation, and by domination isn’t that where we now are, it shapes every aspect of life, from freedom of speech and segregated bathing to sharia compliant laws,never mind as a child the spectacle of meeting an Indian or African, is there a street in any town in the world today without a muslim. There are conversely now huge swathes of the earth where there is but one ideology, the exponential curve on this must near equate to the fall of any previous civilisation.

Let them bake cake.

Oh, Shiny Pony!

Politicizing the blood supply:

The ban on gay and bisexual men donating blood is set to be lifted if one of the promises by the incoming Liberal Party of Canada majority federal government comes to fruition.
“The current situation discriminates automatically against men who have sex with men,” said Dr. Hedy Fry, Liberal MP for Vancouver Centre.
[…] “There could definitely be queer blood drives,” said Rose.

What could go wrong?
