  1. On the topic of D-Day:
    This past Saturday, we laid to rest our neighbor of 36 years, Fred.
    Fred served with the Sherbrooke Fusiliers, landed at Normandy, and was badly wounded when his tank took a direct hit during the following action.
    He survived and went on to raise a large, decent family. At the time of his death, he left his loving wife, five children, ten Grandchildren, and eleven Great-Grandchildren. He was a quiet, honourable man of many talents and was a wonderful neighbor for many years. May he rest in peace and may God bless his family. I will miss him.

  2. Leaders have failed Palestinians
    By MINDELLE JACOBS
    For almost 60 years, Arab countries and factions have pretended to help the Palestinians while using them as pawns to demonize Israel or as a pretext for tribal and religious infighting.
    The clash between the Lebanese army and two shadowy radical Islamic groups is the latest calamity to befall the long-suffering Palestinians.
    Little is clear about what goes on in the Middle East, but one thing is certain. The militants holed up in two of Lebanon’s Palestinian refugee camps don’t have the Palestinians’ interests at heart.
    REFUGEE CAMPS
    The greater tragedy is the Arab world has left the Palestinians to fester in refugee camps, in the hope that Israel would be vanquished. A two-state solution to the Arab-Israeli conflict is the only route to peace.
    Repeatedly, the Palestinians have had a chance for their own state, ever since the UN proposed dividing a small piece of what was formerly the Ottoman Empire into Jewish and Arab countries. The Jews agreed. The Arabs chose war. Think of what the Palestinians could have accomplished by now if they’d chosen state-building instead of war-mongering.
    Their leaders failed them — and continue to do so today — and the Arab world has, by and large, left them to wallow in misery because of its undying hatred of a dynamic, successful democracy — Israel.
    Lebanon, for instance, confines its Palestinians to 12 refugee camps that have, effectively, become mini-states within a state. The Palestinians aren’t allowed to own property or work in professions such as medicine, law, engineering and journalism.
    Last year, the Lebanese government eased the restrictions slightly, allowing Palestinians to work in previously prohibited clerical and manual jobs, according to the U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants (USCRI).
    But the permit process is so burdensome and expensive that only two or three refugees had applied by late last year. …- (more)

    The Shanghai Hospital website bio on Dr. Li notes that he graduated from No.2 Military Medical University in 1986. He traveled to the United States for two years of further study toward a postdoctoral degree.

    Prime Minister Stephen Harper has given the cold shoulder at the G8 summit to a trio of celebrity anti-poverty activists led by Irish rock star Bono.

    The “trio of celebrity anti-poverty activists” are socialist parasites. Give ’em a lift with a cold, steel-toed boot.

    They even get free health care, lodging and education and bring your Granny.
    Hey, why should Harper, Prime Minister of Canada, have any need to meet a greasy Irish rock “star” and the rest of the has-been exhibitionists from the entertainment world ? Whose purpose would be served, who would it help?

    “The Alberta Disadvantage in Higher Education
    by Anthony J. Hall
    Founding Coordinator and Associate Professor of Globalization Studies
    University of Lethbridge
    (original article, published with permission of the author)
    June 4, 2007 The Alberta Disadvantage in Higher Education
    In Alberta an attack is gathering force on the most fundamental principles essential to the academic viability of universities. This attack has implications that go far beyond the jurisdiction most stereotypically associated with cowboy culture and the lucrative vastness of this province’s oil and gas resources.
    As demonstrated by the political genesis of Canada’s current federal government, developments in Alberta tend to lie at the origins of changes with broad ranging implications. Alberta has long been a laboratory for experimentation in right-wing techniques of political manipulation and governance. This experimentation is aimed most often at subordinating the activities of public institutions to the will and desires of the executive branches of private corporations, but especially the Texas-based energy conglomerates that dominate Calgary…”

  12. Canadian Infidel –
    A great many Americans have realized that Canadians are at best wishy-washy backstabbing false friends (on par with the French) due to the hesitation and backtracking of the Cretin and Dithers governments leading up to and during the Iraq conflict.
    Who can blame them for finding Canada “dull”? Who wants to go “survival camping, dog-sledding or sea kayaking” when they can do the very same activities in their own country?
    Wouldn’t you rather go on trips to photo-hunt the elusive playtpus, the hordes of wallabies, the almost invisible koala, and dive off the Great Coral Reef in Australia?
    I certainly would (and intend to, again)!
    Face it: Americans have wised up to the inherent anti-ism that the great majority of Canadians harbour against them. Why should they bother to visit such a dull and unwelcoming place?

  13. Think aboutit.. think again.
    The vast majority of Americans are by nature some of the most good natured people anywhere.
    You are confusing some pointed dislike of government groups with hate for the whole population.
    A very common error. No doubt you hate all Iranians too, when they are ordinary day to day working stiffs like us.
    Try to focus your hate on their *Mad Mullah dictators and *their religious police* who are opressing average Iranian citizens. = TG

  14. Nations Abandoning US Dollar, A Dangerous Sign
    More bad, bad news for the dollar.
    The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is apparently moving away from the dollar.
    Bloomberg reported that the UAE **may be the next Middle Eastern country to stop pegging its exchange rate to the U.S. dollar, according to trading in currency forwards.**
    This is indeed worrisome in light of the fact several other nations are severing their ties with the dollar.
    Countries such as Iran and Venezuela have been joined recently by Syria and Kuwait (which switched its currency peg away from the U.S. dollar on May 20) in divorcing themselves from the dollar.
    This move by the UAE should therefore not be confused and likened to the dollar-dumping moves by countries such as Iran and Venezuela who virulently hate America.
    As our readers may know, the UAE (includes Dubai) is ruled by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum, the Prime Minister of the UAE. Like his late father, the legendary business entrepreneur, Sheikh Rashid, he is extremely pro-West and pro-capitalism.
    Kuwait and the UAE make no bones why they are severing ties with the dollar. They say they are simply fighting inflation.
    As we have said repeatedly here in MoneyNews and our sister publication Financial Intelligence Report, the dollar has been wildly inflated by the U.S. government – despite phony claims that official CPI is *low.*
    ======================== NewsMax.com
    The rest of the world recognizes this inflation. That is why the dollar continues to tumble, despite Federal Reserve rate increases.
    And it is also why the global cost of commodities measured in dollars continues upwards.
    By turning away from the U.S. dollar, these nations are not just hurting its international value, they are also undermining the dollar’s political power as the world’s reserve currency.
    This is a major threat to America’s political *power multiplier* in the coming world struggle for power.
    It is also a major threat to America’s global economic strength, and most importantly your wealth as an American. [and Canadian ]TG

    [Editor’s Note: 4 Foreign Currency Plays to Beat the Falling Dollar.]
    Our government has engaged in some of the most profligate spending yet known to man, encouraging the creation of an unprecedented level of falsely low cost liquidity, expanding our money supply at an alarming rate, running up huge debts and borrowing (off balance sheet obligations) against the earnings of future generations.
    The sad thing is that this has been seen before – during the Roman empire!
    In addition, it is our Congress that placed upon our Fed the uncompetitive “ball and chain” of a dual mandate: to control inflation and to encourage growth.
    Today, both are mutually exclusive.
    The Fed is unable to defend our dollar against the rising interest rates of other nations. If Bernanke and the Fed raise rates, the U.S. economy moves quickly into recession.
    The bond markets appear to be indicating a 40 percent chance of a Fed rate increase in June, up from zero percent in the last quarter of 2006. Perhaps the markets recognize the Fed will have to raise rates to keep the dollar from collapsing.
