Reader Tips

The BBC owns up to deliberately lying about the Queen’s photo shoot.
Why we’re losing the war at home.

“READ THIS. And, as has often been raised at this blog, reflect on the role of our media. There is reason to examine the mission critically. But do so intelligently and with some knowledge–which is what our media are almost completely incapable of doing. “

“LAST month Australians endured our coldest June since 1950. Imagine that; all those trillions of tonnes of evil carbon we’ve horked up into the atmosphere over six decades of rampant industrialisation, and we’re still getting the same icy weather we got during the Cold War.”
Time for the Thai government to admit defeat against the insurgency and pull their troops out of Thailand;

In an interview with Thai television on Wednesday, General Surayud said his government will continue its efforts to end a three-year insurgency that has left more than 2,000 people dead.

A “liberal supporter” demonstrates the progressive attitude towards women that the left is famous for.

    First World War veterans’ grave get headstones thanks to 13-year-old girl
    VANCOUVER (CP) – Six First World War veterans buried at Vancouver’s Mountainview Cemetery now have proper headstones thanks to a 13-year old girl.
    Their graves went unmarked for decades but now they have been given proper granite grave markers and were honoured with a veterans colour guard at Mountainview Cemetery Saturday.
    Amanda Neil of Ladner, B.C. raised over $1,300 through bottle collecting and donations to buy the markers.
    Even more impressive, Amanda closed the ceremony by presenting another cheque to buy one more headstone.
    Mountainview is the resting place of over 12,000 veterans.
    More than 900 don’t have markers. …-

  2. Bin Laden Video Fools AP (New Bin Laden Video Turns Out To Be Old 2001 Video)
    Little Green Footballs ^ | July 15, 2007
    Bin Laden Video Fools AP I’m more convinced than ever that Osama bin Laden is no longer consuming oxygen, as another videotape is released by the As Sahab freakazoids: Bin Laden praises martyrdom in new video. CAIRO, Egypt – A new al-Qaida videotape posted Sunday on a militant Web site featured a short, undated clip of a weary-looking Osama bin Laden praising martyrdom. The bin Laden clip, which lasted less than a minute, was part of a 40-minute video featuring purported al-Qaida fighters in Afghanistan paying tribute to fellow militants who have been killed in the country.[…]
    Sorry to contradict Associated Press writer Omar Sinan, but it was immediately clear when the video was filmed—in October 2001.
    It would be a huge propaganda blow if Al Qaeda could release a video showing Bin Laden indisputably alive. But repackaging six-year old videos (even if they fool the AP) is strong evidence that he’s Bin Dead. For quite a while. …-

  3. Joe,
    Canada is not by any means “dependent” on immigration. Studies by the Fraser Institute, the CD Howe Institute, the Economic Council of Canada, the Universite de Montreal, Statistics Canada among others confirm this. Immigration cannot keep the Canadian population young, and may lead to population ageing in the short term. Immigration has also widened income inequality and increased poverty rates. A good overview of the problems caused by mass immigration is the book “Who Gets In?” by Daniel Stoffman. The truth is that Canada and Canadians would be economically, socially and environmentally better off with NO immigration.

  4. Immigration is nothing more than a pawn used to bring in a voting bloc for whoever is in power. If PMSH was smart, he would IMMEDIATELY stop ALL immigration until we get the current mess we are in straightened out. What is it? Some 50,000 running around under deportation orders, and we have no idea where they are? How many cabbies have degrees? Tons. I was the boss of a guy who was a veteranian, and he was doing a roughnecks job! What a waste of talent. In my current postion I have 4 guys/gals under me who all have masters,yet they are doing menial jobs! One is Ukranian,one is Egyptian,and two are Nigerian. Yet they are dedicated and working hard to get their credentials recgonized here in Canada. Lets get these people squared away first,then we can work on looking at more immigrants. And yes,I know the hoops of immigration,as I have to sponser them and fill out the six miles of red tape. I keep telling them they should just leave for a week, and come back with no papers,and some bogus refugee claim. Bingo-bango-bongo,you’re in and can stay!

  5. TG –
    Google it, it really is not too hard to find.
    And no, I am not, nor likely to be a Prius owner anytime soon. I just think taking articles like the one you cited without researching them for the real facts is no better than the garbage that comes from Gore or Suzuki.

  6. Joe,
    Well said and I agree with you, except –
    “…so that we are not dependent on immigration…”
    On this I would agree with JP. Immigration as a necessity to the survival of our economy and welfare system is unproven. Perhaps, if past Liberal governments had concentrated on the wealth and security of Canadian citizens first, the birth rates would not have become an issue. (I’m not sure that they are anyhow)
    I know this is speculative, but no more speculative than carrying on in the present course.
    The question must be raised – without rancor, or prejudice – which course would the citizens of Canada want? We must determine our own destiny.

  7. JP A few months ago I was called in by the Armed Forces as a consultant on an inhouse construction job. I arrived expecting a bunch of young men and women ready to work. Imagine my surprise when found out my crew consisted of a bunch of guys in their 40’s & 50’s. Canada is not replacing its population and as a result, all of our wealth is about to become worthless. Its not a case of aging its a case of having a next generation that needs to purchase material goods. Go to almost any small town in Sask. and you will see houses for sale but because there is no one to purchase them the price keeps going down. At present without immigration this will become the norm across Canada.

  9. Checking through Canada Government Websites, I discover they are layer upon layer… endless!
    My impression is that while some information websites are most useful and helpful, there seem to be hundreds of others that merely hold word descriptions and references for other sites that point to other possible directions.
    It*s as though Liberal families have created website areas and branches to accomodate other Liberal families as they required employment. Sorry, just what the endless branching seems to suggest. Example:

    Clean energy = 5 headings [Links]
    Energy Efficiency = [4 Links]

  11. JP you’re right
    “Not much to discuss, is there?”
    They either want us to live under their thumbs as Dhimmis or to die in the Jihad.
    Which are you going with Dhimmi or dead? all the while funded from Saudi Arabia.
    If the UK didn’t let them in they wouldn’t have been able to do the fire bombings but lets keep letting them in if it gives you warm fuzzies who cares how many they kill.

    Excerpt:
    “What all this means is that objectivity has been replaced by ideology.
    With an attitude that regards all challenges to its warped world-view as beyond the moral pale, it follows axiomatically that the truth goes out of the window altogether.
    Most disturbingly of all, that world-view is never challenged. As Sir Antony writes, BBC employees mix only with people who think like themselves.
    They are therefore totally unable to tolerate the idea that there is room for any other approach. They represent a totally closed-thought system.”

  14. Just out of curiousity, I notice YouTube pulled the 4 part interview with that former KGB filmed in the late 70’s, where he refers to the Marxist/communist infiltration into North America. I was trying to show someone on the weekend and it was pulled for violating their terms. Does anyone have any info on where that video could be found (I don’t recall the guy’s name)
    Thanks
