(Not lunch safe, for that matter.)
Todd, thanks for the provision of the legislation info above.
I understand what it’s intended to say.
But I also understand that what the elected representatives of the people say in legislation is subject to dangerously gross misinterpretaion by the unelected political hacks, perhaps unqualified as judges, who sit so uppitily behind a big, high wooden desk holding a hammer and wearing an ominous black cloak.
If I was in such an enormously invincible position, kinda like Darth Vader or Kim Il Dung (or whatever his name is, the Newman-from-Seinfeld-looking-guy-with-nukes from North Korea), I, too, might feel free to deem whatever the damn fecking bloody hell I please against the powerless, trembling little peasants down at whom I glower…
Stephen, then I assume the problem you have is not with the legislation but the judges. I just wanted to show that the legislation itself (and here, I’m saying just my opinion) doesn’t look scary itself.
You SDA people are nuts. Its funny the way you put all of Toronto down, given the not so subtle sex jokes all the way through this thread, I believe there’s plenty of sublimation here. Kind of tittilated, eh? But we in Toronto are so PC liberal, what with our art galleries, museums and theatres and you with your park trailers and doritos and sausages. You love those sausages.
SMcA, etc., are you really Jack Layton? You kinda sound like you could be. Still living in Ontario subsidized housing?
FORNICATE YOU, ORIFICE NESTLED BETWIXT GLUTEUS MAXIMII!
BEGONE, STINKING, SCREECHING MOONBAT OUT OF HELL!
‘TIS THEE WHO ART NUTS!
With all due respect… like feck! 🙂
Mrs. Thatcher, how in the hell could one possibly think I could be that…
I better shut my yap… the Vast, Left-Wing Conspiracy, of which you could even be a part, would sue my ass right the hell off!
I bet Jacko himself is following this comment thread and cannot help but laugh himself silly… ditto David Miller… and, Paulie M., are you here also? If so, well, let me say, enjoy 24 Sussex Drive like there’s no tomorrow, because Stephen is soon moving in… Harper, of course! Are you here, too, Stephen? You da man! Get right on to whipping Paul’s bum! And say hi to Stock for me!
Ya bin warned, Librano$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Nope, Todd. The legislation itself certainly looks perfectly decent to me.
It’s what the Liberal Party of Canada has done to the judiciary that is scary… I believe one of our SDA regulars explained that the judiciary is actually effectively a branch of the so-called “Natural Governing Party”. What do you expect as obedient Canadian taxpaying slaves look the other way when the Liberal PMs appoint their good friends the party loyalists?
Seems fruit bats and moonbats are related….they both come out at the first hint of home grown parochial narcissism.
A nice Christian father just beat his son to death because he was afraid the boy might be gay.
The boy was three.
Others backed up the mother’s testimony on the first day of the capital murder trial of Ronnie Paris Jr, 21, of Tampa, Florida. Paris is accused of physically abusing the toddler until the boy slipped into a coma.
“He was trying to teach him how to fight,” the boy’s aunt, Shanita Powell, told the court. “He was concerned that the child might be gay.”
“He didn’t want him to be a sissy,” Shelton Bostic, the defendant’s Bible-study friend, testified.

Well, I hope everyone is enjoying SDA now.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Warren Kinsella and Scott Reid are now holed up in an emergency meeting with Supreme Overlord Paul in a Toronto hotel room (yet again with the hotel rooms!) to plot new survival strategy.
Oh, wait… maybe Warren is cackling gleefully at the stuff I’m saying… maybe he’ll participate along with Yours Truly under a pseudonym to help me bring down the Forces of Darkness…
Good post, Stephen McAllister’s Nuts. Such tragedies as the beating death of a three-year old by his idiot father can only be stopped when Miss World She-Male can sit naked on the hood of a car driving down Mainstreet Canada.
That’ll show dad who’s a sissy.
That is a horrible thing, the father beating a THREE-year-old because of a suspected orientation.
The father may be insane. He should get emergency psychiatric help. No sane person, Christian or otherwise, could do such a thing.
BTW, I would appreciate you making full disclosure as to who you truly are. Otherwise, people will consider you a coward. But it’s entirely up to you. I have the courage to provide my true name and email address. Do YOU? It would be infinitely more honorable and credible to do so rather than insulting me as you’re doing.
And it would be a very dumb error to assume I’m an idiot or a fanatic. I am an ordinary, law-abiding, university-educated Canadian having a hard time getting started making a really decent living so I can pay off my student debts, which is very difficult to do when the Librano crooks confiscate so much of my so little hard-earned money and then give it to their friends.
And affirmative action? It is nothing but another monstrous Liberal-left LIE! Trust me; I know very well!
EBD,
Is it redundant to say that the idiot father is against SSM? Perhaps showing the dad who the real sissy is will pit the “dad” against somebody his own size.
What are you, anonymous person, a bigot?
Once again, for your own credibility: WHO ARE YOU?
Are you an extremist bigot who believes only imposed leftofascist dogma is an acceptable creed?
Who in the hell has ever been offended my Miss Canada or Miss Universe… ever in history?
If people like that actually exist, how was this influence successful in shunning a hot person we should(how did we even end up talking about this) all be proud of.
I was not aware that toronto city hall imposed a taliBAN style rule…
I’ll hold the above in suspended abeyance until you respond to the preceding post I made.
Knight, I think I’m in a discussion right now with someone who may be offended by the concept of a beauty pageant winner. It’s possible.
People, I’m afraid I’m going to have to sign off for the night. I have to work tomorrow. Hard. Therefore I require sleep.
Please continue.
i just don’t know what to say about this… it’s just so… I don’t konw… It’s just sort of, so…. Canadian!
Off Topic:
Is anyone having trouble bringing up US blogs? Michelle Malkin, InstaPundit, even Drudge (I know, not a blog) time out. Is is just my connection or is the US Supreme Court nominee announcement at 9:00 PM causing all the slowdowns?
Uptight Toronto bureaucrats
Toronto apparently has a bylaw restricting the use of Nathan Philips Square. Who knew? It’s being applied to ban the current Miss Universe from opening a Thai festival: “Activities which degrade men or women through sexual stereotyping, or exploit the…
I sent an email earlier today and this was the rapid response I got:
———————————————–
Thank you for your email letter.
The Mayor believes that staff interpretation of the bylaw was too strict and Miss Universe should have been allowed to participate in Sunday’s event with her tiara and sash.
Mayor Miller will also be personally calling Miss Universe to apologize.
Once again, thank you.
Joanne Miller
——————————————–
Personally, I think Miller was blindsided by the acts of an overzealous staff. After all, he has people like Jack’s wife working for him.
Frankly, I’ve never seen a gay pride parade, but the whole thing strikes me as ghastly. Yuch!
A bigger bunch of sickos I’ve never seen. I might even prefer the Islamists over the bunch of ingrates running the city of Toronto.
Ah, but I forgot, the jihadis are probably aligned with the Toronto leftists. The good news is that when the jihadis get control you want have to worry about gay pride parades, or gays for that matter. The bad news is that all the women will be dressed in sacks and you want have to worry about sashes either. Can’t win for losing!
Why not strike two birds with one stone and run the next gay parade pass each toronto mosque?
That ought to get a frank discussion going. 😉
In the good old days in a real country, or a real city, Canadians would have been proud that one of their citizens had been crowned Miss Universe. Apparently today Toronto the Good has become Toronto the Queer.
I just threw up in my mouth a little 🙁
In Isaac Azimov’s Epic novel “Foundation Trilogy” he describes a jupiter sized planet near the center of our Galaxy which housed the Galactic government. The entire planet was one giant office buiding.
And guess what it’s name was” … Trantor.
Of course it was as despised by the rest of the Galaxy as Toronto is by anone who doesn’t or can’t stomach living there.
Regarding Toronto’s big, fat, hairy feminist Berkenboot crowd. We like beautiful women even if you find them horribly threatening.
Trust me on this one, Duke. Most of us Torontonian men do not find them threatening. Especially ones like Natalie Glebova! 😉
This post and the vast majority of comments contained therein highlight the duplicitious nature of the left. As such, they are deemed discriminatort and homophobic. Shame on you. As a good citizen of Cannuckistan I have to demand that they be removed lest you face the wrath of the social engineers!
We really shouldn’t be so shocked. This is the same city with the political culture that supported a duck hunter registry but axed Fantino, one of the few cops that actually had a decent view of the crime situation. Welcome to TO, the city where you’ll here “duuuh” in a hundred different languages. . .
Miss Universe is our “straight pride” parade why is this banned?
Nancy, with respect to her “daft decision to validate herself” I had thought along the same lines until I heard the package she gets for the year.
Not so daft. I believe a $250k US modelling contract, an apt in NY, travel all over the place… Nice break after finishing college, wouldn’t you say?
As a westerner (and straight, by the way)the only good news to come out of the terrorist stuff is that, if they strike in Canada it would be either Toronto ,Montreal or Ottawa.
Horny Toad
“A nice Christian father just beat his son to death because he was afraid the boy might be gay.”
And guess what, Mr. “Stephen McAlister is Nuts”? Murder is not only just as illegal in Florida as it is in Canada, but it’s also punishable by death, which is what the state is seeking (that’s what “capital murder” means) and what one hopes the jury will give this vile waste of space.
“The city where you’ll hear ‘duuuh’ in a hundred different languages..” — That’s really funny, Liam.
Um, but I’m not laughing. Not until I check the rulebook.

“I might even prefer the Islamists over the bunch of ingrates running the city of Toronto.”
Duhhhh? Who is to say Islamists do not work for the city of Toronto. Who do you “prefer” then?
It is a legitamate question.
Anyway, have fun in toronto(the leafs will start losing soon enough.)

“WE WHO BLOG ARE MORE RELEVANT AND POWERFUL THAN THE MSM! HEAR US ROAR!”
Uhhh yea, reading or writing on blogs requires more intelligence and eyesight than vocal abillity… or hearing.
p.s MSM is relevant. That is why it is called “mainstream”.
Knight says:
“Uhhh yea, reading or writing on blogs requires more intelligence and eyesight than vocal abillity… or hearing.”
Coincidentally, you have hit the nail on the head!
It makes a big difference to use intelligence and eyesight and to take one’s time to get stuff in writing rather than wasting one’s breath on lefties like the anonymous commentor who likes to say I’m nuts. They don’t listen anyway, no matter the eloquent brevity with which I speak to them.
As for hearing, actually, I have none. Yup, can’t hear a thing since I survived meningitis at age five. It’s no biggie, though. I simply picked myself up, dusted myself off and continued onward pretty much as if nothing had changed. All one needs is to speak normally and read lips. And believe it or not, I never bothered to learn sign language. I don’t even know the alphabet thereof!
And forget about “affirmative action”. It’s one of the most irresponsible leftist myths of all. It doesn’t happen. What does happen is patronage, cronyism and nepotism. The state has received my resume many times over the years and has even seen the exceptional performance I made when I temped with them. They are ignoring me. And the private sector? Either they know AA is a myth or there’s just not enough opportunity going around in the Maritimes for everyone with higher education. Ironically, I’m currently employed by a company run by Libs…
This is Paul Martin’s Canada. Hope y’all see a little better where I’m coming from. Plus I will have credibility if AA comes up for discussion.
BTW, it’s “Mc Al”. There’s no “Mac”.
Toronto Bans Miss Universe
Apparently, Miss Universe is not welcome in Toronto.
Natalie Glebova, 23, Toronto’s own queen of the world, was to star at the Tastes of Thailand festival on the weekend.
But Kate points out the double standard.
…
SMc, I was responding to an earlier blog from somebody abusing your name by adding ‘is nuts’ or something, thus, the ‘etc.’. I would never ever mistake you for mini-me Layton. Sacre bleu, it would be the greatest insult. The fake you was extolling the virtues of Hogtown and its PC-ness, and sounding so smug and self-righteous, I naturally assumed he was Layton in drag.
Well, let me know if it keeps happening. If it’s not enough to be anonymous, and one feels they need to appropriate others names, or use them for ridicule, they can be sent elsewhere.
Utterly embarassing as a Canadian. Not only has the city of Toronto demonstrated they don’t care about beauty pageants but that they feel participants degrade the “image” of city hall. Uh huh.
“Activities which degrade men or women through sexual stereotyping, or exploit the bodies of men,boys or girls solely for the purpose of attracting attention, are not permitted on Nathan Phillips Square”
Hmmm, well at least this should keep Belinda Stronach away from TO city hall. She can keep her stylish shoes and nice clothes off of the square. 🙂 Don’t worry Torontonians, Edmonton can’t elect decent aldermen and mayors either.
Hey, Fool, just be glad you don’t have Dar(th)Heatherington as a councillor !
I’m laughing at the comment on the “2002 Toronto Gay Pride Parade” gallery, made by eb2005 –
“Beautiful gallery. Well done with taste.”
Ugly ass old men, strolling down the street with their tiny peckers swinging in the wind is high class! Oh, oh, and the dude with the foam tube fished through his his underwear just screams “hish cotton”!
Freaks.
I wouldn’t go anywhere near a Gay Pride parade in a trillion years so I’m not going to make any comment about it except to say this:
The “usual culprits” seem to believe we can save our sorry Canadian butts from Islamist terror attacks just by staying out of the Middle East, keeping our distance from George and Tony and allowing the people of Israel to be shoved into the Mediterranean.
It might not occur to them that a Gay Pride parade such as this one is like a red flag to the Islamists (and, for that matter, ordinary Muslims): the decadence and corruption of our society “in flagrante delicto” as it were.
I for one would prefer to be fully clothed if there were going to be an attempted martyr bombing at my parade…
An individual of note
Miss Universe, 23-year-old Natalie Glebova, native of Toronto, Canada, was not allowed to open the Tastes of Thailand festival in Toronto last weekend.
Is it just me or is the idea of a Straight Pride parade hilarious?
I’m picturing a parade with the motto “We’re straight, we’re great, and we can procreate”. The parade would need to have GUYS on motorbikes and WOMEN dancing. Perhaps there would be some Hooters girls and cheerleaders tossing bras into the crowd. For the ladies, put some cowboys on horses in there.
Then there would need to be a family section of course. The parents would need to herd the kids through the parade route. The fathers would need to be in shorts, sandals, and black socks and pushing lawnmowers. The mothers would need to be pushing shopping carts or baby carriages.
Glad I could add to the discussion. 🙂
I’m sure there’s nothing quite so Canadian as hating Toronto. I’ve lived all over the country (primarily in the Maritimes) and in T.O. for the last 3 years. The great Canadian myth is that T.O. is evil.
And just as an aside, there’s been an effort made in the last few years to brand the parade as simply “Pride” and not “Gay Pride”. A celebration of differences, as it were.
As a straight male Canuck, I find some aspects of the parade tiresome and over the top, but it’s nice to see so many different people getting along.
Hard to imagine this sort of open-minded tolerance occuring on a large scale in Red Deer, Fredericton, Barrie, or Charlottetown.
Yes, JJM, we are all going to start living our lives by being worried about being targets for terrorist bombings. By the same point, I assume that you will never step into a bar or liquor store as you’re like to get blown to smithereens if you got here as well.
