A Game Of “Spot The Difference”

For CanWest reporter Carly Weeks;
“One of these things is not like the other.”
(It must be a bloggie-bad day for mainstream “journalists” assigned to stories on we “less visible, insidious enemies of decency, humanity and civility – the angry offspring of narcissism’s quickie marriage to instant gratification”..)

  2. MSM has a natural aversion to the truth, mess’s with the natural order. I spotted the difference, Sesame Street once again saves my day!!! Anyways…….howz this narcissistic, quickie gratification thing work. Breathlessly awaiting further posts……….LOL

  3. This should explain a few things:
    “Why I will vote Liberal”
    “Because I believe in the extent to which the Official Languages Act is carried out and enforced; that every public servant even in the most remote part of B.C. should be fluent in the French language, but that government business in Quebec should be in unilingual French.
    Because I believe that only lawyers from the province of Quebec are qualified to be prime minister of Canada.
    Because I believe that the federal government should be completely controlled by the province of Quebec.
    Because I believe that all criminals are just poor misunderstood victims of society and can all be easily rehabilitated in a very short period of time; and that only they have “rights”; not the victims of their crimes.
    Because I believe that hardened criminals like Karla Homolka should be pampered by living in a “cottage” with her own key and be allowed to have pyjama parties and go out on shopping trips; and that killers in prison “resorts” on the Pacific coast should eat filet mignon, have barbecues, go whale watching and have their own golf course, while our senior citizens have to eat left over Kraft Dinner.
    Because I believe that mass murderers under that age of 18 should be protected by the Young Offenders Act and the rest of us law-abiding citizens do not have the right to know who they are.
    Because I believe in bringing hundreds of thousands of unskilled people into Canada from third world countries every year so we can support them on welfare and so that they will vote Liberal; and that this number should be increased every year.
    Because I believe that it is fair that the province of Quebec is the sole province allowed to be in charge of its immigration policy; that they receive 5 times the amount of federal immigration money than does Ontario, even though Ontario has to teach those people how to speak English whereas Quebec only allows immigrants to enter who already know the French language.
    Because I believe that we do not have a right to own land in Canada, as it is under Liberal law.
    Because I believe it is only fair that Liberals steal as much tax money as they can from us; through every conceivable means from the HRDC boondoggle to the 2 billion dollar gun registry that does not work.
    Because I believe that if my family is the victim of a home invasion I should not have the right to protect them in our own home.
    Because I believe in huge government bureaucracy and extremely high taxes, as I believe that the government knows how to spend my money better than I do.
    Because I believe in having essentially no military because everyone loves us and we will never be called upon to protect our country.
    Because Jack Layton is not a lawyer from Quebec so he is not qualified to be prime minister; besides, he smiles too much.
    Because Stephen Harper is not a lawyer from Quebec and he and the Conservative Party of Canada have a hidden agenda and they are very scary people.
    Because I believe that we should alienate our neighbours to the South because all Americans are morons and know nothing about Canada; and that we should continue to align ourselves more closely with our true friends, France, China and Russia.
    Because I believe everything that the Liberal controlled media tells me, especially the CBC.
    Because I believe that no one should ever be held responsible or accountable for their own actions in today’s society. It is always someone else’s fault.
    Because I believe that we should not expect newcomers to our country to accept or adapt to our culture and traditions and customs; and that we should not wish each other “Merry Christmas” in case it might be offensive to some.
    Because I have the IQ of a doorknob and am easily sucked in by Liberal scare tactics and propaganda; and am easily bought off with my own tax money. ”

  4. All good D-man, except you missed the entitlement/inclusion thing. You gunning for Klanders job??

  5. Sorry to go off topic but what I just witnessed a while ago is still poppong my blood pressure.
    In the “No Wonder Americans Think Canucks are Crazy Department:” I just finished watching an interview on Fox’s O’Reilly Factor about Toronto mayor blaming the bad old USA for their (gang) problems. First of all, I don’t know how they did it but they found a “Progressive” nutbar in Calgary from the Council of Canadians. This Anil Naidoo fellow tsk, tsk’d the interviewer saying that the US has far more crime and they don’t have gun control and this is why it is spreading to Toronto because they see it on TV(must be at one of the many drop in centres). He also slagged Condi Rice for not doing anything since her visit in October to close the border to those terrible guns. He forgets to mention that nobody is ever stopped leaving a country, just entering it. Think about it. Last time you went south, did you stop at the Canadian Customs and tell them you were leaving? So the bad old US guns are crossing the border and CANADIAN (unarmed) Customs can’t stop them. Mmmm.
    As a Canuck, living in Texas, I resent moonie dipwads that try to show the world that the Canadian and American “cultures” are completely different and shift the blame. By the way, I did not hear once from this Anil character the words gang or Jamaica, or drugs.
    Just my 2 cents worth but everytime I see an item about Canada the spokesperson if a moonie. Is this a CRTC condition so that Fox News can broadcast up there?
    Thank you, I feel a bit better now.

  6. Chill Texas!!! That fool is a shill for the Pigerals, he shows up on the local talk radio all the time ( I live in Calgary). Unfortunate that he “represents” us, but I bet not unplanned. The shit pile is getting pretty deep and if their putting Anil on international MSM their really desperate. Sit back and watch the show, it’;s just warming up!!!

  7. “narcissism’s quickie marriage to instant gratification” lol, lol… big ten-dollar words! that must be why Kate Parker gets paid the big bucks as a journalist. these blow hards crack me up, they’re sooooo ‘erudite’ lol, lol…
    apparently there’s a journalism school somewhere in Toronto, I wonder if anyone has ever graduated from it?

  8. Geez, don’t the Americans know that it’s their responsibility to stop guns from leaving their turf? I mean, how are we Canadians supposed to know how to stop them from entering ours? David Miller is a sad excuse for a human being. Then again, good ole’ PMPM says it a ‘consequence of exclusion’. The only thing the gang pukes in Toronto should be excluded from is breathing the same air that sane, law-abiding people breath.
    And the American/Canadian thing. I’ve spent about 24 months in various parts of the U.S. in the past 25 years and I can’t really say that there is that much obvious difference. I was channel surfing today and stopped on a program about language – American vs. Canadian – on CBC (twas an accident) – and they were making the usual joking comparisons about “eh” and “huh” and “about” and “aboot” and then they came to “sorry” which the Americans pronounce “sarry – when they bother to say it”. The CBC just can’t seem to help themselves. If they can take a cheap shot at the U.S. they do. May f-ing tax dollars hard at work…

  11. Hey!~ been south lots of times….only problem been….guns mfg in china! if there not from its ok!
    Down south ….guns are good…..everybody respects them. we should take a lesson. at the gun range on Boxing Day……not a problem…..no woundings…..no killings……we all had guns!
    Just some observations.

  12. d-man that is awesome, I am going to print that and frame it. Hope you have posted it everywhere you can.

  13. Look what I just found at CTV. The Liberal bloggers just ain’t gonna quit.
    “B.C. Grit cabinet minister in blog controversy
    Updated Thu. Dec. 29 2005 1:26 AM ET
    Canadian Press
    VANCOUVER � The Liberal election campaign has taken another hit from the blogosphere after its star B.C. candidate used a possibly insulting term to describe NDP Leader Jack Layton.
    Industry Minister David Emerson is quoted in a blog written by Jamie Elmhirst, the federal Liberals’ B.C. president, as referring to Layton’s “boiled dog’s head smile.”
    An NDP spokesman said the term is an English translation of a Chinese insult.
    Elmhirst referred to the comment, made at a pre-election dinner, after suggesting Layton’s friendly remarks about maverick New Democrat Svend Robinson during an early-December campaign stop in Vancouver were “a touch insincere.”
    “How did Minister Emerson describe his style at our convention dinner?” Elmhirst writes in the Dec. 5 blog entry.
    “Oh yes, he said that Jack Layton had a boiled dog’s head smile. That would have made even me wince if I hadn’t have been laughing so hard.”
    Stanley Tsao, an NDP campaign spokesman who handles Chinese media, said Wednesday the phrase is Cantonese in origin and can be taken a number of ways depending on the context.
    Tsao said Emerson’s remark showed “arrogance and disrespect,” especially in light of comments about Layton and his wife that appeared in another Liberal’s blog last week.
    “References like that do not help the debate,” he said.
    News of the comment comes just days after a senior member of the Liberal Ontario wing resigned for disparaging remarks about Layton and his wife, Olivia Chow.
    Michael Klander, the party’s Ontario executive vice-president, in his personal blog compared Chow, a Chinese-Canadian and an NDP candidate in Toronto, to a chow chow dog. The blog also referred to Layton as an “asshole.”
    In an interview Wednesday, Emerson said he made the remark about Layton in a speech at a dinner during the B.C. federal Liberals’ convention the weekend before the election call. He said it wasn’t meant to be disrespectful.
    “It was in reference to his constant chattering away with this great big grin on his face, pasted on, kind of an over-extended grin,” Emerson said.
    “It’s a Cantonese expression which I use on myself and my wife uses on me all the time when I have to pose for pictures.”
    “I was referring to constantly seeing Jack Layton looking like a boiled dog’s head, talking about some of these shallow, ideologically driven policies of the NDP.”
    Emerson said he learned the jibe from his Hong Kong-born wife, Theresa Yeuk-Si Tang.
    “She’s got tons of them,” he said. “We certainly use it in our family and my wife says it’s commonly used in the Cantonese community. It certainly wasn’t meant as disrespectful.”
    Emerson insisted it was in jest and said there are other choice Cantonese phrases he could apply to Layton, such as “frog in the well.” It refers to someone who draws conclusions about the entire world based on a narrow perspective.
    Layton’s press secretary, Ian Capstick, said the remark was indicative of Liberal arrogance.
    “It’s disappointing when they cannot find fault in policy or in our activism or in the way we do our work on Parliament Hill, but instead decide to attack the personality traits of either the NDP here or others,” Capstick said from Ottawa.
    Emerson is fighting for re-election in the Vancouver-Kingsway riding after first winning it in 2004.
    The former forest company CEO and senior provincial bureaucrat became the Liberals’ B.C. political minister under Prime Minister Paul Martin, helping deliver billions of federal dollars to the province.
    The Liberals have given him the lead role in the B.C. campaign, pitching him as the man who helped end years of federal neglect of the westernmost province.
    The Elmhirst blog appears on the Liberals’ B.C. campaign web site (www.teambc.ca) and was highlighted on Bourque Newswatch (bourque.org), which describes itself as the Canadian answer to the muckraking Drudge Report.”

  14. Does the Canwest corporation – oops, I mean Income Trust – not have better things to do with their money than hire not-so-swift grrrrrrl reporters with a hate-on for conservatives to attack bloggers? It’s not the first time this has done this sort of attack piece.

  15. I saw that Kathleen Parker op-ed in today’s Orlando Sentinel, and hurried to my computer to tear it apart, here. A thought occurs to me… Parker writes twice-weekly columns for the Orlando Sentinel, produced in a building which is only a few blocks away from where I am right now. Perhaps I should go over there tomorrow morning and interview her…? 😀

  17. Journalists are getting pissed off because bloggers are making them look lazy, inept and biased in their coverage. With more people now turning to blogs, it’s hard for MSM to ignore some of the stories they’d normally avoid to save Liberal face. There are a few reporters who continue to do their jobs with integrity. Not difficult to give the rest of them a pass and focus on who remembers why they’ve chosen journalism as a career and not as a route to the senate.

  19. Well once you cut past the smarmy tone in the MSM article it really isn’t complimentary….see it for what it is: a warning.
    The coopted MSM is sending notice to political bloggers ( conservatives in particular) that we are not being “read” by the MSM but “watched”….and should any of you DARE seek office, there is enough evidence on these conservative blogs to do a “Klander” on you.
    We took down one of theirs ( a liberal) and they intend to return the favor…..I smell a war of attrition with the MSM and the blogosphere, before any reconsiliation is possible.

  20. Never fear, Liberals are here! Re-elect the Federal government and the day after miracles will happen: no more guns, a clear distinction between “us” & “them”, a happier, holier country & free donuts! Re-elect the Mayor of Toronto, and there will be sweetness & light.
