  1. KAHN’S RIDING ASSOCIATION DELISTED
    Registration revoked for not filing financial returns on time.
    Interesting that the association was not delisted while Mr. Kahn was still a Liberal. There seemed to be ample time for a decision to be made prior to him becoming a Conservative.

  2. Excellent comment on the drugs policy smear job
    D C from Canada writes: Anyone taking drugs is part of the criminal world and should go to the camps for 1 year. Anyone distributing or selling should do at least 5 years. It is hard to make people understand that the drug commerce is directly tied at the other end to illegal arms and terrorism. THat little guy with the baggies on the corner is only the first link in a chain that goes to Mexico Columbia, Belfast, Tehran and Pakistan. So. It is NOT about YOUR body …however precious the druggie might think his or her body is…. It is instead about the protection of the civilian members of society from a commercial enterprise that is illegal for a reason : it is dangerous to our way of life.
    Plus druggies are losers and should be in camps on principle. Spend their days marching in formation under Military Police tutelage . Everything you have ever had stolen from your home, your shed or your car has a druggie at the end of it . THey are lice.

  4. Nazanin Afshin-Jam. The verdict (so far)
    EXONERATED BUT…
    Nazanin Afshin-Jam and Mina Ahadi spoke with Nazanin Fatehi’s lawyers today regarding her retrial that took place on January 10th 2007.
    They have received verbal confirmation from the court that she will be exonerated from the charge of murder. The incident that took place in March 2005 has been recognized as an act of self-defense, however the court has ruled that disproportionate force was used by Nazanin while trying to defend herself and her 15-year old niece. Accordingly, they have asked Nazanin to pay “dieh” (blood money)* to receive a pardon from the family of the deceased. Once this amount is paid, Nazanin can be released from prison.
    Shadi Sadr and Mr. Mostafaei, Nazanin Fatehi’s laywers, are appealing this blood money because they believe that Nazanin is innocent for acting in self-defense and therefore she should not have to pay any money. Unfortunately, this appeal may take several months, so in the meantime arrangements may be made to have Nazanin released from prison by paying “bail” money into court.

    LIke you, I thought, Aha. OK not to file financial returns on time (and we’re talking 2005 and 2005) if you’re a Liberal, but the second you become a Conservative, boy are you in trouble.
    I’m just not too clear what being “delisted” means…Does this have anything to do with the Chief Electoral Officer of Canada, Jean-Pierre Kingsley?

  7. “I have been made victorious with terror.”
    ProphetofDoom.net
    The Quranic Concept of War
    Army War College Journal Parameters
    The Quranic Concept of War, by Brigadier General S. K. Malik of the Pakistani Army provides readers with unequalled insight.
    Originally published in Pakistan in 1979, most available copies are found in India, or in small non-descript Muslim bookstores. One major point to ponder, when thinking about The Quranic Concept of War, is the title itself. The Quran is presumed to be the revealed word of God as spoken through his chosen prophet, Mohammed. According to Malik, the Quran places warfighting doctrine and its theory in a much different category than western thinkers are accustomed to, because it is not a theory of war derived by man, but of God. This is God’s warfighting principles and commandments revealed. … The Quranic approach to war is “infinitely supreme and effective . . . [and] points towards the realization of universal peace and justice . . .
    …Malik uses examples to demonstrate that Allah will strike “terror into the hearts of Unbelievers.” At this point he begins to develop his most controversial and conjectural Quranic theory related to warfare—the role of terror. Readers need to understand that the author is thinking and writing in strategic terms, not in the vernacular of battles or engagements. Malik continues, “when God wishes to impose His will on his enemies, He chooses to do so by casting terror into their hearts.” . . . . Malik’s strategic synthesis is specific: “the Quranic military strategy thus enjoins us to prepare ourselves for war to the utmost in order to strike terror into the hearts of the enemies, known or hidden, while guarding ourselves from being terror-stricken by the enemy.” Terror is an effect; the end-state….-

    Core plan to win Iraq
    Clamp down on death squads. Focus on the removal of death squad leaders.
    Muqtada al Sadr motivates his *black shirts* to kill any Sunni at any time. These leaders who cause endless executions must be removed before killings will be diminished .
    Progress will come when troops form expert *Swat* teams that can zoom in on death squads and cancel them out and most importantly remove their leaders.
    Without this core focus , more lives, resources and time will be wasted .

    Sadly, at this point, my Canada does not have to include Quebec. ‘Just too much Quebec-coddling, which is bad for the whole country.
    I’d be happy for Quebec to remain in Canada if we leveled the playing field and didn’t give Quebec all the leg-ups it’s enjoyed for far too long. ‘They want to go it the way most of the rest of Canada has had to? Then fine. But if Quebec expects to keep all of its perks and privileges that the rest of the provinces don’t have, then, I don’t think so…

  18. By the way, over at Political Staples, there’s a thread on the recent Decima Poll, which was blatantly biased, asking respondents to choose between two hypothetical promises of first, the Conservatives offering a $1,000 tax break per household versus the Liberals offering a $1,000 tax break limited to households taking pro-environment action.
    The response was only 24% for the unlinked $1,000 and 51% for the ‘Liberal’ linked plan.
    Not only is the poll biased by linking the action to a political party – but, I’d bet my last dollar that the poll was carried out over the telephone. No-one, no matter how neutral the tone of the questioner, is going to respond, in person, in a direct interaction, that they are ‘not involved in the environment’. No-one.
    It was a pure set-up by Decima. Garbage, political propaganda.

  20. Dairy Farmers Can’t Stop Me, Fennell Says
    By MICHAEL JIGGINS
    ROEBUCK — Even before the first drop has hit the pail, the Dairy Farmers of Ontario (DFO) has slapped a cease-and-desist order on a local farmer’s plan to provide raw milk to people who buy a share in a cow.
    Jacqueline Fennell said two DFO inspectors handed the three-page order to her husband, John Conklin, on Friday at their small 100-acre farm west of Roebuck.
    Fennell said the visit didn’t come as a surprise.
    “I figured I’d hear from them at some point,” said Fennell.
    She insisted Sunday the DFO’s “attempt at a threat” won’t force her to change plans to start the raw milk flowing to shareholders by the end of this month.
    “I’m not going to allow them to intimidate me and my family as they have done with other people,” she told The Recorder and Times.
    “That is how (DFO) gets their power, by scaring the crap out of people, and they are not going to do it with me.”…-

    This page is a dictionary of slang terms and neologisms that originated on or were popularized by the Web site Little Green Footballs. It is a work in progress — no claim to infallibility is made. Corrections and updates will be posted periodically.
    Excerpts:
    Terms that Originated on LGF
    anti-idiotarian – Someone who has his or her head screwed on straight politically; generally used to refer to anyone who grasps the significance of and does his or her best to combat the post-9/11 political alliance between the “Old Left” and militant Islam. [First documented use: Charles 1/5/2002 5:21 PM ]
    Darwin Akbar – Another parody of the phrase “Allah Ackbar,” used most often when a suicide bomber accidentally blows himself up prematurely in a “work accident.” Technically means “Darwin is greater,” but refers to the Darwin Awards which are annually given to those individuals who accidentally kill themselves in the most idiotic way, thereby (thankfully) removing their genes from the human gene pool — a comic inversion of the concept “survival of the fittest.”
    Terms that Were Not Coined on LGF, But Which Were Popularized by LGF
    buzzing prayer rug – A Islamic prayer rug invented by a Jordanian in 2003 that buzzes when the user’s forehead touches a metal plate embedded in the rug. Occasionally brought up sarcastically as a wonderful example of “technological innovation” in the modern Islamic world.

  25. PART ONE OF this article (Vanguard N0.51)outlined five of Edmund Burke’s ideas which are of relevance to nationalism. These were: that man is tied to a family, locality and nation; that society is organic rather than mechanistic; that the past, present and future are linked; that as a nation we must put our own people first; and that equality, like most abstract doctrines, is “a monstrous fiction”. These points were all fundamental to Burke’s world view. …-
    6. WISE PREJUDICES
    In today’s climate, wisdom and prejudice are seen as opposite. Prejudices (pre-judgements in advance of the facts – usually negative pre-judgements) are considered ignorant and irrational. Edmund Burke would have been surprised by this. Unlike modern liberals, Burke examined the origin of prejudice, its nature and function. Prejudice originates in past, collective experiences and contains “the wisdom of the ages”. Burke wrote of prejudices: “the longer they have lasted, and the more generally they have prevailed, the more we cherish them”. (1)
    This is far from irrational. As individuals we have a limited experience of the world, because our lives are short. We rely on knowledge accumulated by generations of our ancestors, which provides a useful shortcut to dealing with our own problems. Our ancestors learned to fear the unknown. When foreign peoples descended on a community (the Danes, Vikings and others) it led to dislocation, conflict and loss. Only people with no experience of history could possibly welcome outsiders and not feel prejudice against them.
    The nature of prejudice, is a feeling or emotion which transcends reason. Burke claimed: “When our feelings contradict our theories….the feelings are true, and the theory is false”. Feelings are not easy to convey in rational terms. Some of the people who hold prejudices may indeed be ignorant and inarticulate. However the prejudices themselves cannot be ignorant, since they are never the product solely of one mind or time.
    The function of prejudice is to act as a survival aid. It rescues us from danger when we do not have time to think from first principles. When humans are confronted by a lion they feel fear. Perhaps they have never met a lion before and its intentions may be entirely benign. But the collective experience of our species is that lions are hostile and so we have a prejudice against them. Burke’s conclusion, therefore, is that prejudices are wise. Men of understanding “instead of exploding general prejudices, employ their sagacity to discover the latent wisdom which prevails in them”.If they find this wisdom,”they think it more wise to continue the prejudice”. …-

    Castro in ‘grave condition’: Sources
    TheStar.com – News – Castro in ‘grave condition’: Sources
    January 15, 2007
    Associated Press
    MADRID – Ailing Cuban leader Fidel Castro is in “very grave” condition after three failed operations and complications from an intestinal infection, a Spanish newspaper said Tuesday.
    The newspaper El Pais cited two unnamed sources from the Gregorio Maranon hospital in the Spanish capital of Madrid. The facility employs surgeon Jose Luis Garcia Sabrido, who flew to Cuba in December to treat the 80-year-old Castro.
    In a report published on its Web site, El Pais said: “A grave infection in the large intestine, at least three failed operations and various complications have left the Cuban dictator, Fidel Castro, laid up with a very grave prognosis.”
    Cuba has released little information on Castro’s condition since he temporarily ceded power in July to his brother, Defence Minister Raul Castro, until he could recover from emergency intestinal surgery, prompting much speculation and rumor in the country and around the world.
    El Pais’ report, which could not immediately be confirmed, was a rare detailed description from a major media outlet about Castro’s condition.
    The U.S. government had speculated that Castro could suffer from cancer – a supposition denied by Sabrido. Some U.S. doctors believed Castro was suffering from diverticular disease, which can cause bleeding in the lower intestine, especially in people over 60. In severe cases, emergency surgery may be required.
    That idea was supported by El Pais, which reported that its sources said Castro had suffered a bout of the disease.
    “In the summer, the Cuban leader bled abundantly in the intestine,” El Pais reported. “This adversity led him to the operating table, according to the medical sources. His condition, moreover
