    John Tory finds his Conservative voice… tells local media he won’t tolerate epidemic of native lawbreaking…
    “As premier, John Tory says he would enforce a “one law for all” legal system and apply it to aboriginals
    who occupy lands as a form of protest against proposed developments, such as the uranium mine near
    Sharbot Lake and Mohawks who have blocked rail lines and highways near Deseronto.”
    “Speaking to reporters from Osprey Media newspapers by telephone, the provincial Progressive Conservative
    leader suggested he would establish a zero-tolerance policy on aboriginal land occupations if he is
    elected premier of Ontario on Oct. 10.”

    Glaciers Media Will Never Report
    Newsbusters | 9/5/2007 | Noel Sheppard
    In fact, as reported by Sacramento’s CBS affiliate Sunday, glaciers on California’s Mount Shasta have grown by 30 percent in the past 50 years (video available here):
    JOHN IANDER, CBS 13 REPORTER: Big mountains often create their own weather patterns, and this giant, Mount Shasta, at 14,162 feet seems to have a mind of its own these days. Shasta has seven glaciers. The biggest is this one on the middle, Whitney Glacier. What has surprised scientists about the glacier is that if the theories about global warming are true, it ought to be shrinking, but it’s not.
    And this one sort of defying conventional wisdom huh?
    ERIK WHITE, SCIENTIST: It is. Unlike most areas around the world, these glaciers are advancing, they are growing. Thirty percent in the last fifty years.
    IANDER: Forest Service scientist Erik White and veteran climbing guide Chris Carr are Shasta experts.
    CHRIS CARR: I’ve been climbing on Shasta for about fifteen years.
    IANDER: Have you noticed a difference in snowfall?
    CARR: Oh, certainly. Every year it’s a little bit different. But the glacier changes dramatically, year to year.
    IANDER: So why are these glaciers the only ice rivers in the world larger today than they were a century or more ago?
    WHITE: Mount Shasta is right at the very northern end of areas affected by El Nino and we’re at the southern end of areas affected by La Nina. So between the two we get to see the benefits of that which means more snow and rain in this area.
    What White said is key, because many skeptical scientists believe shifts between el Ninos and la Ninas are significantly more responsible for the planet’s warming and cooling cycles than carbon dioxide emissions. …-

  3. Re: Mr. Me abusing the free House of Commons mailing privileges
    I receive unsolicited postage free mailings from MP Jack Layton several times a year. I live several thousand miles from the riding that he represents and the letters are pure partisan drivel. It’s another great insight to his understanding of ethics and “Social Responsibility”.

    After staying up working until about 1:30 AM, I really didn’t like hearing that cell phone alarm go off at 5:45 Friday morning. I got a little more work done for the presentation Friday night and then caught the 7:40 AM Metrolink to lovely Union Station in Los Angeles.
    I had to use the restroom after the train trip. The Union Station restroom is a place that I have discovered is a favorite place from some people to take what shower they are able to take – in the sink. While in the men’s room, I don’t know if it was my imagination, but I thought I heard some foot tapping from one of the stalls. I was out of there quickly. […]
    When I walked back into the courtroom, there were fewer seats than 10 minutes previous, so I had to grab a seat that was available. I sat next to………………..Harold Ickes. After about five minutes, a friend walked in and found a pair of seats, so I moved. It’s funny. The feeling of nausea that was almost overcoming me subsided when I moved away from Ickes. […]
    I have a research assignment for you if you can help. Can a sitting Senator be compelled to testify while the Senate is in session?

  6. Tips:
    1. Brad Wall attempts to spin the Saskatchewan pre-election campaign over Dan D’Autremont’s statements on Crown corporations.
    http://www.cbc.ca/canada/saskatchewan/story/2007/09/07/wall-crowns.html
    2. D’Autremont did this on purpose because of the growing rift in the Sask Party caucus. With Bill Boyd coming back, D’Autremont took this opportunity to sabotage the campaign in hopes that the Sask Party would lose this election and turf Wall as leader, opening the door to either himself or Boyd, and allowing them to steer the party back to its Conservative roots.
    3. Wall says in the news article that these statements from a high-ranking Sask Party caucus member were “made up” and that he’d “never heard them talked about before”. This is a violation of the Sask Party’s 2006 Code of Ethics — specifically, knowingly disseminating false information (Article 4, Clause 6). D’Autremont is receiving no punishment, nor is he expected to issue an apology.

    4. Katie at Small Dead Animals, nothing but a sad apologist for the Sask Party, hilariously does not even mention the story. Apparently, screw-ups like this from the Sask Party are not news.

  8. Here is another albatross ’round the neck of Citoyen Dion.
    Citoyen/Citizen of France, S. Dion, leader of Canada’s Liberal Party, is silent. His country, France, has been proven to be complicit in the carrying out of the Rwandan genocide.
    Why is Citoyen Dion silent/mute about his country’s guilt?

  17. After the new cartoon controversy, the Swedes are inviting Muslim ambassadors to re-write Swedish law:
    While praising the “very constructive steps” taken by Fredrik Reinfeldt, the Egyptian ambassador said that Sweden had much work left to do.
    “In the long term the school curriculum has to convince pupils that if they want to express their opinion they should do so in such a way that it doesn’t cause offence or hurt. This should also be part of journalism training,” said Sotouhi.
    “A permanent parliamentary committee also needs to be established to tackle islamophobia,” he added.

    Polar bear hunter says traditional life now a political pawn
    By BOB WEBER
    RESOLUTE, Nunavut (CP) – In 26 years of chasing polar bears, Nathaniel Kalluk has never had another hunt like it.
    “It was springtime, many years ago,” he begins, running a hand through hair coal black contrasted by one eyebrow white as the predator he stalks.
    “We were travelling all night and in the morning we camped. We were tired and went to sleep – until we heard the dogs howling at about 4 a.m.”
    Kalluk had staked his dog team downwind of his tent, the side on which bears approach. That way, any bear would have to go through the dogs first and the hunters would have plenty of warning.
    But this time, when the dogs woke him, he realized the wind had shifted. When he burst from his tent, right there, “very close,” was a bear. A big one, upwards of three metres long.
    The hunters scrambled. Confusion reigned.
    “I couldn’t find my rifle,” admits Kalluk, a little embarrassed. …-
