In the visitors’ gallery Saturday morning sat Zaynab Khadr, the sister of Abdullah Khadr, who is fighting extradition to the United States. He is accused of supplying weapons to al-Qaeda.
Ms. Khadr, who once expressed an admiration for suicide bombers on national TV, sat looking at the prisoner’s box, speaking Arabic with Aly Hindy, a controversial fundamentalist preacher.
Having had many of their own run-ins with the RCMP and CSIS, Ms. Khadr and Mr. Hindy were intent on doing what they could for the families of the newly accused.

The skirmish was apparently sparked after a provincial police car drove into an area considered restricted by the protesters from Six Nations.
One witness reported that a car was torched, but police refused to confirm the report, with Rektor saying only, “there were a few incidents we’re looking at.”

After reading the link to C-junk,I have reached a turning point in my life.Yup,I want to become a liberal!
I want to go through the rest of my life thinking I am better than everyone else.I want to be able to blissfully dismiss any dissenting viewpoints as being from bigots and racists.I also want to be able to immediately forgive any fellow liberals who happen to break the law(hell,actually I want to be able to forget they even did it).I want to live my life in a politically correct manner.
But,most importantly,I want to be a victim too!
Which takes me to the part of the “editorial” that stood out:
“We continue to talk in abstract terms about a “War on Terror”, when it is in fact a “War on Us” being carried out by Muslims.”
Because we must not ever forget who the victims really are here…ALL NONBELIEVERS!
It is indeed The War on Us!!(that’s correct you dillusional lefties,the ones you avidly protect here want to kill YOUR children too!)
So my fellow Canadians,stand proud and vigilant in this War on Us!!

It doesn’t matter if you are liberal or conservative, Democrat or Republican. There is no possible excuse for doing what Congress is poised to do this week: Abolish the estate tax. The federal government faces a future of expanding deficits. Thanks to the baby bust and medical inflation, spending is projected to rise by nearly 3 percent of gross domestic product by 2030, a growth equivalent to the doubling of today’s Medicare program. What is the dumbest possible response to this? Take a source of revenue and abolish it outright. -snip- People often remark on the perversity of popular support…

“There is a large al-Qaida presence in Canada.”
While the Canadian government won praise for the success of the counter-terror operation, some senior American lawmakers said it underscored major security vulnerabilities in Canada and along the U.S. northern border.
“Americans should be very concerned, because Canada is our northern neighbour and there is a large al-Qaida presence in Canada,” Rep. Peter King, Republican chairman of the House of Representatives homeland security committee, said in a televised interview. “I think it’s a disproportionate number of al-Qaida because of (Canada’s) very liberal immigration laws, because of how political asylum was granted so easily.”
The previous Liberal government “I don’t think was tough enough as far as going after terrorism,” King said.

Crackdown on Egg Farmers
Daniel Proussalidis with Dan Pihlainen
Monday, June 5, 2006
There’s word two controversial Spencerville egg farmers are facing charges.
The Egg Farmers of Ontario alleges Shawn and Paula Carmichael have violated the Egg Marketing Act.
The agency alleges, among other things, that the Carmichaels are keeping more hens than allowed and aren’t grading eggs at Stoney Meadow Farms.
That was the scene of a confrontation with Canadian Food Inspection Agency officers in March.
The Egg Farmers of Ontario says Carmichael could be fined of up to two-thousand dollars a day for operating illegally. cfra.com
“Descendants of passengers aboard the ill-fated Komagata Maru want to open discussions with the federal government about a formal apology and possible compensation over Canada’s racist immigration laws early this century.
…
The Komagata Maru arrived in Vancouver Harbour in May 1914, but immigration officials refused to allow the passengers, mostly Sikhs, to disembark. Local community leaders with the Khalsa Diwan Society lobbied on their behalf for two months and raised more than $7,000 for a legal challenge, but in the end the vessel was forced back to Calcutta.
Because many aboard were leaders or sympathizers of the Ghadr party, which was fighting for independence, the British opened fire when the ship docked, killing several aboard and taking others prisoner.”

More backlash against Muslims?
I saw John McCallum on CBC at noon saying that most Muslims are as honest and law-abiding as he was.
Boy, I’d be pissed if anyone suggested that I was as honest and law-abiding as a former liberal cabinet minister.
What’s this guy trying to do, start a riot?
Stan, good one! Isn’t the phrase “being as honest and law-abiding as a former liberal cabinet minister” the classic oxymoron? 🙂
On a serious note: yes, it’s true that the vast majority of Muslims in the world are NOT terrorists. It’s also equally true that the vast majority of the terrorists in the world ARE fanatical Muslims. There’s a vital difference and point in there that because of PC, nobody is supposed to even think. It’s “racist” and “discriminatory” to do so.
John McCallum belongs to a criminal organization. He should shut up about honesty.

Volpe rebuffed by BC Lib president:
http://www.publiceyeonline.com/archives/001564.html
Not-so-friendly fire
Earlier, we noted leadership candidates Martha Hall Findlay and Joe Volpe would be addressing British Columbia’s federal Liberal council, taking questions taking questions from its members. But it seems that bear pit session didn’t go so well for Mr. Volpe.
On Saturday, one of our readers posted a comment reporting Esquimalt-Juan de Fuca constituency association president Jason Walker walked out of that meeting after Mr. Volpe said one of his speeches inspired three grade schoolers to donate thousands of dollars to his leadership campaign. The former citizenship and immigration minister said the same thing during an interview with the Edmonton Journal’s editorial board last week.
Speaking to Public Eye, Mr. Walker confirmed the incident, adding he asked Mr. Volpe about those donations because “I was trying to take a leadership role. And my colleagues – everyone just sat there. And I think it’s okay to challenge the errors that we make. And I think it’s okay to challenge candidates around their behaviour. And, if it’s unacceptable – as presidents at the president’s council we need to deliver that message to them.”
Mr. Walker, an adjunct assistant professor with the University of Victoria’s school of child and youth care, said he walked out on Mr. Volpe because the candidate “didn’t say what happened was wrong. He just didn’t get the fact that taking money from children in that way is wrong. And it shouldn’t have happened….I was embarassed. And I said so. And I left.”
“The party is in a situation where we need win back the public trust. And we had just spent an entire day talking how we need to take the high road and rise above things and get back to business. And, unfortunately, in my opinion what happened with Mr. Volpe taking money from children sends the wrong message to Canadians,” said Mr. Walker, referring to the fact Mr. Volpe’s campaign accepted donations from grade schoolers. “It sends the wrong message to our party. And his excuse for it was not acceptable.”
Mr. Walker also confirmed he was “hassled” on his way out of the room by one of Mr. Volpe’s supporters – whom others identified as being the candidate’s national campaign coordinator Jim Karygiannis. “He was very angry. He was angry that I raised the issue. He was asking for evidence. And my response was this is about children and it is not open for debate. It involves children. It is wrong. And this is not what our party’s about. And we need to step up and take responsibility. And, as a president, I don’t expect to be harassed on my way out of a meeting by an observer.”

The 17 suspects were reportedly advised by two US citizens from Georgia. Their targets were Canadian targets, large buildings that could be taken down by a truck bomb, not US targets. So it looks to me that Canada ought to be discussing arming the border against US terrorists, not vice-versa.

Mark Bourque
Questions raised about death of Canadian in Haiti
Questions are being raised about the circumstances surrounding the death of a Canadian police officer in Haiti late last year.
Mark Bourque Canadian Press
Mark Bourque, a retired RCMP officer from Stonehman, Que., died from injuries he received when he was shot while on patrol in Cite Soleil, an impoverished slum in the capital of Port-Au-Prince.
Until recently, family and friends thought Bourque had been killed almost instantly.
At the time, UN spokesman David Wimhurst said Bourque “was driving along Route Nationale 1 and the car came under fire. The police officer was hit in the leg, very seriously injured in the leg. His partner tried to help him as much as he could.
“An armoured personnel carrier from the UN came in to extract him and got him to the Argentinean hospital … unfortunately they couldn’t save him and he died …”
But according to an investigative report in Toro magazine, Bourque, 57, may not have been as badly hurt as first thought.
The report says Jordanian peacekeepers arrived on the scene almost instantly to secure the area, but ignored pleas to rush Bourque to hospital. Instead, a soldier took a photograph of Bourque lying in his own blood.
The report says that by the time Bourque got to the hospital by ambulance, almost one hour had passed since he had been shot. He died a short time later.
A cousin, Laurie Bourque, says he has had questions ever since the attack in December 2005.
“I knew the place [where he was shot] wasn’t far from the hospital. I wondered why they didn’t take him because they had an armoured vehicle … I think it could have saved his life …”
NDP MP Dawn Black, of New Westminster-Coquitlam, says an investigation is needed.
“I really think that the Canadian government should investigate exactly what happened … why was he left so long without care and attention?”
But the Canadian government is deferring all questions about Bourque’s death to the UN mission in Haiti.
Bourque’s widow, meanwhile, says she has not received any details about her husband’s death either from Ottawa or from the UN. …

Health inspector who spoiled egg salad ‘vindictive’
Chris Thompson
CanWest News Service
Tuesday, June 06, 2006
WINDSOR, Ont. – A group of women hoping to raise money for a historic building in Windsor, Ont., likely lost hundreds of dollars after food inspectors spoiled their egg salad with bleach on the weekend. About a dozen women belonging to Friends of Willistead, a group raising money to restore the manor, were preparing the egg salad sandwiches inside Willistead Manor just before noon on Saturday when three food inspectors from the Windsor-Essex County Health Unit arrived unannounced and began citing infractions. When an inspector asked where the eggs were cooked and was told they were prepared at the women’s homes, she poured bleach on the sandwiches and the egg salad mixture. “There was a meanness there,” said Brenda Clayton, the president of Friends of Willistead. “Most unprofessional, really.” Many women were shaken by the ordeal, Ms. Clayton said. “They’re over the top on this,” Ms. Clayton said of the inspectors. “This isn’t ordinary hygiene, it’s vindictive.” In addition to ruining the egg salad, inspectors also cited the fact that the women were not wearing hair nets and that there was a carton of cantaloupes sitting on the floor. Deb Bennett, the director of health protection for the Windsor-Essex County Health Unit, said the group was told that all the food must be prepared on-site. “That is what we consider a potential hazardous food and unfortunately we could not allow that to be sold,” Ms. Bennett said. Ms. Clayton said she provided a menu and list of ingredients to the health unit in advance of their event, Art in the Park, but didn’t learn until Friday that the eggs had to be prepared at Willistead.

Omar Alghabra, MP for Mississauga-Erindale, formerly of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, finally surfaces:
The man who replaced Parrish as Mississauga-Erindale MP, Omar Alghabra, spent much of the weekend meeting with local community leaders and with the families of those charged.
“Some are defensive and some are in denial,” said Alghabra, a Muslim-Canadian who is the former head of the Canadian Arab Federation. “They are both natural immediate reactions.
In the House of Commons Monday, the rookie MP asked Prime Minister Stephen Harper what he intends to do to prevent the radicalization of young Canadians who are drawn to terrorist organizations.
The government needs to make a strong statement condemning possible retribution to discourage actions such as the vandalism of a mosque Sunday night in Rexdale, Alghabra said.
The Muslim community has no reason to feel defensive, added Alghabra.
“We should not jump to any conclusions and just let the legal process take its course,” he said.
“The reality is that things like this are never good for any (religious) community, or for the broader community.”
