  3. The NDP plan to raise the amount of monies an individual recieves from welfare for rent. This will be on top of raises in each of the last three years for the basic allowance. Raises for people on welfare but NO education tax cuts for homeowners. This is the NDP legacy under Calvert. People of Sask. wake up.

  4. dj:
    The NDP are simply pandering to their base. Increasing welfare benefits does not encourage people to get off the dole…Which is enlightening, when wondering about the NDP’s motives.
    That’s also why the civil service is huge. People who rely on nanny-state largesse for a living are not-so-subtley reminded of who the sugar-daddy is. It only takes a few thousand votes in the right ridings to swing an election in this province.
    I wonder how many people find that tactic as nauseating as I do?

  5. Anyone else wondering why there has been so little coverage by msm on the big Lib.conv? CBC has had next to nothing on,CTV,and Roger Smith did an interview with dion this a.m,but it just made Dion look even more doltish!Smith told us,that at the big speech coming up later today,that a huge banner,saying Welcome to the Media will be backdrop to point out the ‘openess’of the Libs,as opposed to the turfing of media by PMSH,but bottom line was that tho it does make it easier for media to do their job..what does it really matter to everyday Canadians.Waiting with baited breath for this big speech,and hopefully will be able to understand it.

  9. David Suzuki and others infer Quebec is a hot-bed for environmental protection. Kyoto prone. Pollution adverse.
    What’s wrong with this picture ?
    [Bombardier-Rotax GmbH today celebrates its five millionth engine leaving the assembly line. Being a snowmobile engine, it reflects 35 years of innovative engine development and production of world class 2-stroke engines.]

    [The two-stroke motor, found on 75 percent of all boats and personal watercraft (jet skis), generates 1.1 billion pounds of hydrocarbon emissions each year. These high emissions are attributed to the design inefficiency of the two-stroke motor, which has remained essentially unchanged since the 1940’s.]
    [Twenty-five percent of the fuel and required oil that conventional two-strokes use most of it unburned is emitted directly into the water and air. According to the EPA, two-stroke engines discharge as much as 30 percent of their fuel and oil unburned directly into the water.
    Every year, marine two-stroke motors spill 15 times more oil and fuel into waterways than did the Exxon Valdez.
    The EPA estimates that one hour of operation by a 70-horsepower two-stroke motor emits the same amount of hydrocarbon pollution as driving 5,000 miles in a modern automobile.]

    So how come Dion and Maurice Strong and the Kyoto Kult are fixated on an odorless, essential gas while giving 2-strokers a pass ?

  11. Another step towards foisting shariah on the west. However, I don’t know how they’ll equate Islamophobia with racism. Idiots. I also don’t know how they’ll prove this particular phobia as being without warrant. As well, it leaves them open for all the vile, hate filled racism and religious bigotry in Islamofascist countries such as Sodomy Arabia.
    Muslim Nations Want ‘Islamophobia’ on Anti-Racism Meeting’s Agenda
    By Patrick Goodenough
    CNSNews.com International Editor
    August 28, 2007
    (CNSNews.com) – “Islamophobia” and the defamation of Islam are the most conspicuous forms of racism and intolerance today, and a global U.N. conference on racism planned for 2009 should come up with practical solutions to deal with them, an Islamic bloc representative told a preparatory meeting in Geneva Monday.
    The 2009 meeting is intended to review a U.N. conference on racism, held in Durban, South Africa, just days before 9/11, but the 56-nation Organization for the Islamic Conference (OIC) wants Islam to be high on the agenda.
    “The world since 2001 has not remained static and witnessed new forms of racism and racial discrimination,” Pakistan’s representative to the U.N., Masood Khan, said at a meeting of the planning body, or “prepcom bureau,” according to prepared remarks.
    Speaking on behalf of the OIC, Khan told the meeting that “there has been a stark rise in hate crimes, discrimination, racial profiling and intolerance against Muslims in many countries.”

  14. This has been said here repeatedly. Salim Mansur says it is so.
    Repeat:
    The MSM is liberal-left. The MSM and the liberal-left-socialists are treasonously allied with the Muslim Islamist murderers.
    …-
    “Imagine the uproar denouncing any suggestion that the mainstream liberal-left media, in appearance at least, is treasonously on side with the newest enemies of freedom and democracy.”
    Barbarians kill as West drifts
    Toronto Sun ^ | 2007-08-25 | Salim Mansur
    There comes a point at which diminishing returns on most issues begin to go negative.
    Such a point in denouncing Islamist terrorism and equally the Muslim majority’s silence against this menace was reached sometime ago.
    As Islamist terrorism, however despicable, became mundane occurrence in the daily news cycle, the deafening silence of Muslims — except for lonely voices of feeble opposition — has given credence to growing numbers of non-Muslims that Islam is as much a religion of peace as the Klanmen’s politics is an expression of multiculturalism. …-

  16. Wonder what the Newfie Sheeple read into the story today that Danny Boor Williams turned down the “public” meeting with Stephi Dion the Liberals were all salivating for?
    They’ll meet in private? Damn, no fun.
    Danny Boor may be starting to realize he may need to negotiate with Harper and Company so he better keep his verbal diarrhea under control.

    Priest offers festival-goers the chance to confess their green sins
    Forgotten to recycle any newspapers or tin cans recently? Feeling guilty because you neglected to carbon offset your flight to somewhere, anywhere, outside England this summer?
    The Roman Catholic Church is at hand with a new line in “green confessions” to help eco-sinners to find forgiveness.
    Dom Anthony Sutch, the Benedictine monk who resigned as head of Downside School to become a parish priest in Suffolk, will be at the county’s Waveney Greenpeace festival this weekend to hear eco-confessions in what is thought to be the first dedicated confessional booth of its kind.
    Vested in a green chasuble-style garment made from recycled curtains, and in a booth constructed of recycled doors, he will hear the sins of of those who have not recycled the things they ought to have done and who have consumed the things they ought not to have done.
    Father Sutch tries to practise what he preaches but has turned the heating down so low at his church of St Benet’s that at least one parishioner has fled to the warmer care of a neighbouring priest for winter services.
    He told The Times: “It is not, I hope, blasphemous to do this. I do not think it is. It is just an attempt to make people conscious of the way they live. The Church is aware of green issues and of how aware we have to be of how we treat the environment.
    “I know the Pope has now set up his own airline, but I am told the Vatican will be planting trees every time it flies. I do think the way we treat our environment is important.
    “There is a huge amount of greed in the West. We have to be aware of the consequences of how we live.” …-

  24. Environment Canada’s Climate Change Fiasco
    Global Warming rivals Sponsorship Scandal
    By Dr. Tim Ball, Natural Resources Stewardship Project
    Many years ago, I warned Henry Hengeveld of Environment Canada (EC) that, if he thought it was difficult to convince ministers and MPs that global warming was due to human carbon dioxide (CO2) production, it would be twice as difficult to change their minds once they were convinced. The theory was, and still is, unproven of course, but by adopting it so completely so early on, Hengeveld would find himself on a treadmill virtually impossible to get off. After all, it would be very dangerous for a bureaucrat to go back to those same politicians with the message that their political positions were wrong because they were based on wrong information.
    Yet Hengeveld made a career out of CO2 by producing a monthly magazine on the topic. Instead of following the scientific method of trying to disprove the hypothesis that human CO2 was causing climate change, Hengeveld and other EC employees were essentially directed to find evidence that it was correct–despite increasing indications it wasn’t.
    […]
    Fortunately, the present government has cut off funding to the many of the Canadian agencies McBean helped establish, groups which had few, if any qualified climate experts on staff. Their role had been to support EC’s position through public propaganda and so it is appropriate that they have been disbanded.
    McBean, Hengeveld and others at EC led the department to take the singular and unsupportable position that climate change due to human CO2 was established fact. They were a perfect example of MIT Professor of Meteorology Richard S. Lindzen’s observation that the consensus was reached before the research had even begun. They, and many of their EC colleagues, effectively thwarted the standard methods of science to promote a political agenda at taxpayers’ expense, causing extensive damage to the entire environmental program, leaving much important environmental work inadequately funded. Diversion and misuse of funds meant EC didn’t even achieve their own pollution reduction targets, especially in Southern Ontario.
    Environment Canada’s climate change saga makes the activities of Chuck Gité and others exposed by the Gomery Commission look tame. It is time for the Government to step back from the abyss – withdraw from the Kyoto Protocol in February 2008, as we can do legally under the terms of the treaty, suspend all activities to “fight climate change”, a ludicrous objective, and commission a full enquiry into Canada’s climate change fiasco. Only then will we have a chance of developing environmental policy our descendants will respect. …-

  25. Hollywood’s fiction, passed of as “documentaries”, is the ul”
    ah hollow-wood.
    fiction abounds there.
    fiction about what films are being planned who’s gonna be in them, who’s bedding who, etc etc.
    surpassed only by the fiction of how entertaining the fiction on celluloid is or whatever medium they use nowadays in the theatres.
    yet there are legions who base their beliefs on glimpses and vague recollections of scenes in past presentations.

  26. Note to Dion, from Harper. We like your policy of: “announce our departure pending departure from Afghanistan in 2009” Just change Afghanistan to Kyoto and 2009 to 2008. Then we can agree and move forward together.
    All the best, Steve
