  1. This just in: Conservatives agree that Stephen Harper is awesome, and Stephane Dion does not have it going on.

  2. Logic is lost on the liberals..
    This morning on CBC political free time we heard Claud Vachon [St Jean Que] speak..
    A long tirade about Harper allowing torture in Afghanistan.
    Jean, we are helping an elected government, not iron-fist dictating their every move.
    Then a diatribe..
    ** democracy can not flourish without security for women and children and schools **, but in the next breath insists that ** Harper must commit to a pullout Nov 9, 2009 ** or something similar.
    Well that*s like saying – *black is really white, believe me, and please vote for us Liberals*.
    Dion, please, keep your silly soldiers off the airwaves. = TG

  3. Hey TG – those Libranos have to keep the phone lines busy with their constituencies outside of Canada.
    Any Librano hack sucks and blows the minority vote hard. That means they gotta make a few calls.
    And no – 300k does not fade because of this.
    Because the kleptocrats who lifted from our treasury happened to do it in grand style ((and substance!)) – doesn’t rationalize a greasepot ex-PM on his way out should be accepting cash in brown envelopes from Schrieber.
    Taxpayer revenue is moot anyway – this is an ethical – and possible legal topic.
    And you live in quite the world – in the business I live and work in – it is unethical – and very much illegal to perform palm greasing.
    You nest two arguments: 1. the Libs did it WAAAYY worse,
    2. and Mulroney’s amount is inconsequential and it’s a normal course of business
    If I didn’t know any better – I’d think you were defending undocumented (and for 3 years, unreported] cash passed in hotel rooms.
    Factually – this event would likely be subject to current anti-money laundering provisions in the criminal code.
    But hey – the Liberals were WORSE. Surprise: of course they were!
    Mindless partisanship man….is mindless.
    Bend over, pray to Government, and accept the insertion gracefully TG. Politicians are just really misunderstood….

  5. Gullible’s Travails; How Canadians Learned to Love, Kowtow, and Kiss the Ass of the Big Nanny/Daddy State.
    Gullible, of course, was beached when his ship went glug-glug in a Katrina event. Gullible eventually awoke to find himself immobile; unable to rise; bound by a myriad of almost invisible threads.
    The bureauc-rats and their commissars (SOBs) have done this to Canadians; many Canadians do not know this; they have willingly allowed it to come about; when they find out, they acquiesce without a whimper of a protest. Who will kick against the pricks? Who will be the Awakener? Where are you, Randy Hillier?
    If ever?
    TO police remind you that you are a criminal if you protect your children with an American made carseat. How good of them to remind CTV to remind us not to make a “key purchase”.

    Cross-border shopping for a car seat illegal
    Canadians who are taking advantage of the lofty loonie and doing some cross-border shopping should pass on making one key purchase in the U.S.: an infant or child car seat. That’s because it is illegal to use a car seat bought outside of Canada.
    Every country has its own child seat standards and Canadian regulations differ from those in the United States. For example, U.S. certified booster seats have a lower weight limit than Canadian standards.
    Car seats bought outside of Canada don’t meet standards set by Canada’s Motor Vehicle Restraint Systems and Booster Cushions Safety Regulations (RSSR) or those of the Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (CMVSS), and do not bear the National Safety Mark required in Canada.
    The Toronto Police Services sent out a news release this week to remind drivers that police are required to confiscate any car seats bought outside of Canada. Drivers can also be issued fines and/or demerit point penalties. Border guards can also take away the seats. …(jack’s newswatch)

  6. Another man tasered in B.C., now in critical condition. Seems to me if the cops shot the man and killed him, there would be an inquiry and a big fuss, but taser him to death – oh well, big deal……just saying.

  7. Maz2, good post on car seats made illegal “just because”. It’s similar to another issue near and dear to my heart – banned importation of new vehicles purchased in the U.S. Both problems with an identical cause – Canada deliberately moving away from harmonized standards with the U.S. thereby creating barriers of convenience.
    There’s a new website for those caught in this government sanctioned non-tariff trade barrier to private citizens:

    Nothing like a government department using foxes to count the chickens in the coop.

  8. “Another man tasered in B.C., now in critical condition”…… sounds like they’re stuck on dangerously stupid, as in dumb and dumber.

  9. There are more treats in San Francisco for illegal immigrants than just Rice-A-Roni.
    San Francisco approves ID cards that exclude gender.
    “The card really makes gender a non-issue,” says Kristina Wertz, legal director of the Transgender Law Center in San Francisco…
    Supervisor Tom Ammiano, who introduced the measure, says illegal immigrants will benefit most. They will be able to open bank accounts and use the card for city services such as checking out library books.”

  10. Just saw the video of a woman in Venezuala storming into a news broadcast and slapping the anchor in the face. Each time they show it they say, don’t get any ideas. What would happen if someone stormed into Newman, Duffy, or any other live event at ctv or cbc.
    Live tv could be so much fun.

  11. Hardboiled — boy a good name for you! You find Mulroney’s statement hilarious: “he had money pressures since he was “not a rich man” as the head of a young family with certain lifestyle expectations” I find it to be a very credible explanation of how he got involved in the unsavoury business of accepting cash payments from Schrieber. Yeah — Mulroney has lots more money than most of us, but how much money you actually have is not at all an indicator of how much you THINK you need. I believe that lots of rich people become quite addicted to the lifestyle and are unable to accept living on a lower plane. Of course this does not make it o.k. to resort to questionable business practices in order to maintain a certain lifestyle. But Mulroney’s comments just add the dimension of psychological motive to his side of the story — and I find the comments totally believable. The business arrangements made with Schreiber (if the current court case where Schreiber is suing is a clear indication of what was involved)also make sense, although Schrebier may also have come forward because he perceived that Mulroney would be of use to him at some point. My bet is that Mulroney will come out the winner on this one and the Canadian people will be footing the bill.

  12. Studying the marginalized
    By Subha Arulvarathan
    New degree program focuses on both immigrants and indigenous peoples.
    A unique new program that brings to light issues of race and ethnicity is being launched at York University.
    The interdisciplinary undergraduate degree program, ambitiously named Race, Ethnicity and Indigeneity (REI), is the first of its kind in Canada and seeks to empower marginalized communities and to foster academic research and discussion…
    …“I mean I think that it’s really important to recognize that the problem is trying to bring together different areas of study that have historically been kept apart, which also means bringing those communities together so that when we talk about racism, we’re also talking about colonialism as it is currently, historically and currently lived by native peoples in our country…”

  15. Flying Imams Win First Round
    Six Muslim imams arrested on a U.S. Airways jet in Minneapolis last November after a passenger raised suspicions about their pre-flight prayers and boarding activities won an early victory Tuesday in their federal lawsuit against the airline and the Metropolitan Airports Commission.
    U.S. District Judge Ann Montgomery’s opinion and order rejected almost all of the defendants’ arguments for dismissal. She said the question of whether airport officers had probable cause to arrest the men must be determined by the objective facts they had available at the time.

    Looks like the U.S. judiciary is suffering from a similar problem as Canada’s.

  16. There are a lot of things that are good enough for 300 million Americans but put Canucks in mortal danger. There are many cars that are built in Canada, shipped to the US, but not safe enough to come back to the Great White north. Like them Bumbardier Skidoos in Minnesota.

  20. I can’t verify the truth behind this comment, but have no reason to disbelieve it, bad spelling and all.
    From judoforum dot com the following post re disqualified hijab wearing judo contestant in Manitoba.
    “I was sitting by the parents at this tournament. I heard them have multiple conversations with a variety of people who told them that their girl could not fight with hijab. Their coach told them that the officials asked her if she was going to fight with it. The coach (who is a muslim women who fought for Egypt and never wore on in compition) told them that they have to take it off if they wanted her to compete. They told the coach no. The coach goes back to the officials with the answer. A little while latter the officials come by and talk to the parent and how they could not have anybody compete with the hijab. They were told if she steps onto the mat she would be disqualified. She goes on the mat and gets disqualified. Parents are filming this as document the disqulification. The second match happens like 10 mins later and the same result. Now here is the kicker. No less than 20 mins after being disqualified from the fisrt match (or if you will 10 mins after the last match) a tv crew arrives. Coincidence? I don’t think so. Even after being told what would happen, they insist to send out their daughter to make some statement. This left me with a bad taste in my mouth because this was premeditated from the get go. I also talked to a parent from that club (who is also muslim) who told me this was the case. Also this is not the first time that these parents acted a hijab crusaders. These parents also did this on the basketball federation.
    Even though this might look like a case of somebody fighting against discrimination this was nothing more than a well organized media event to promote the mom’s agenda and to raise he profile in the muslim community. You might want to chose to belive otherwise, but I was there and saw/heard many of the onging thought out the day and I talked to the coach, the officials, and other parents from that club (who were muslims by the way)”

  21. I have been reading about the hit that Canadian banks are taking regarding their exposure to the US sub prime fiasco.
    There are many commentors showing glee at the harm coming to the big bad banks. May I remind the Schadenfreude gang that much of the wealth in those banks are shares held by moms and pops trying to be self-reliant in retirement. Many are investing to help educate their kids.
    To those who bad mouth the banks and their shareholders, remember this. If those investors lose enough money they will crowding you in your government entitlement line up.
    People who take their hard earned money and rather than buying a big screen TV or two, they provide funds for others to start businesses to create jobs for the very people who mock them on the side-lines of the capitalist system.
    This is nothing but envy in action.
    I will add one more item here. I hear ads on the radio and TV regularly to “make your home equity work for you”. If you are one of the suckers who thinks it’s cool to sink further into debt with your mortgage so that you can pay off your credit cards, buy a new car and take that vacation you think you so richly deserve. Consider this. You are getting older and the cost of living will continue to rise.
    Try to look into the future and picture where you will be a ten or twenty years. Especially if investors stop investing and you lose your job or your house.
    We all have a vested interest in the prosperity of others as well as ourselves. It is folly to jeer anyone who is losing wealth. When one of us loses wealth, we all are poorer for it.

    Smoke and we’ll take your kids away
    […]
    George:
    Steve–we lost this fight long ago. When the governments ban smoking in ‘public places’ like bars etc. and no one fought the word ‘public’ we gave them free reign to impose whatever law they like on us. Public means funded by the taxpayer. Bars and restaurants are private places owned and operated by the owner, not the government. They should have been given leeway to decide if they were smoking or non smoking. Playing with words is a government’s way to coerce a stupid public that no longer thinks for itself. Of course the Ontario government allowed smoking in their casinos.
    Governments are under the impression that our children are theirs to control. Remember the children that were removed from the parents because they spanked them with a little stick? It didn’t hurt the child but the Ontario government saw fit to do this. They neglect to mention their own actions as noted by Foster Mom above. I guess it is a ‘do as I say, not as I do’? Remember Anne McLellan passing all the horrendous anti-smoking laws, while she herself smokes?
    As long as we allow any government to dictate our lives this is what we will get. It is up to the citizen to say enough is enough. But we won’t. something good might be on TC! …-

  29. With a few extra minutes today, I decided to watch the CBS Evening News. What a surprise! They actually reported some good news from Iraq, noting that 1,600 refugees PER DAY are returning, and that Sunni militia are helping keep the peace in one neighbourhood of Baghdad. (Amidayah? not sure of the spelling). They showed pictures of a bustling shopping area, and noted that as little as two weeks ago, it was deserted. Now, stores are flourishing, and the only gas station for miles is back in business.
    Of course, being CBS, they could not let a good story be; they had to add qualms about what might happen if the US stopped paying these Sunnis. Gee, if someone stopped paying the police, there might be problems? Who’da thunk?!

    Commenter Bahbah says it best:
    “The convoy [mentioned] will be protected and the path they travel is through much of Anbar province, where Al Qaeda has been decimated. The terorists no longer have the infrastructure in place to mount the kind of attacks they were doing before. The locals are pointing out the foreigners (who are usually the fodder for the suicide bombs) so the terrorist have no place in Anbar to hide anymore. I was reading an article about OBL’s missive last month about how Al Qaeda had made mistakes in Iraq and needed to regroup and change their tactics to get the locals on their side. I think the non-arab press has really missed the significance of that message. To many Jihadists and Iraqis, it was almost a declaration of surrender, for it was the FIRST time OBL has admitted any mistakes. The loss of face he suffered in the eyes of his supporters was huge, and to the Iraqis, it was a sign that AL Qaeda was losing big time. That is why the people are returning, they know the Americans and their Iraqi allies have won.” …-

    OTTAWA – An international group often cited by peace activists is recommending NATO broaden the war in southern Afghanistan and attack Taliban training camps in northern Pakistan.

    Pakistan is clearly unable to control its northern border and NATO could offer military assistance to the government of President Pervez Musharraf – but if the offer is rejected, training camps and insurgent hideouts should be attacked, says the council’s Canadian manager. …-

    Per this column from the Globe and Mail’s Jeff Simpson, Canadian auto workers were celebrating this week with the announcement that GM will spend three quarters of a billion dollars refurbishing an Oshawa, Ontario auto plant to build the come-back Camaro. It’s cool. The Camaro’s cool (or it was a quarter century ago), the jobs are cool (3,900 times over) and the local investment is cool.

    Day of the skeptics
    National Post
    Wednesday, November 21, 2007
    Is China about to get a lot smaller? Last week, the Financial Times published an extraordinary warning from Albert Keidel, a former senior official at the U.S. Treasury’s Asia office; Mr. Keidel observed that mainland China has just begun participating for the first time in detailed countrywide surveys of currency purchasing power conducted by the Asian Development Bank (ADB). These surveys are performed so that the World Bank can produce reliable estimates of the size and distribution of various countries’ real economic power, irrespective of illusions created by exchange rates. For years, the World Bank has essentially been using very rough data on Chinese purchasing power parity (PPP) gathered in the late 1980s. The ADB issued its new preliminary PPP estimates in late July. If they are accurate, the World Bank stands on the verge of having to reduce its figures for the size of the overall Chinese economy by a staggering 40%. […]
    Meanwhile, elsewhere on the global development front, another gang of skeptics is celebrating a different act of statistical revision — one that is unambivalently happy.
    According to documents obtained by The Washington Post, the UN AIDS program, which often has been lambasted for irresponsible scaremongering, is about to admit that much of the dire rhetoric it has promulgated over the last decade is simply mistaken. The agency has traditionally based its estimates of the spread of AIDS on infection rates among pregnant women being treated in hospitals. In poorer countries, we now know, such a sampling procedure turns out to be wildly inappropriate, as it includes too many sexually active young women in major urban centres. […]
    It is remarkable that two stories of such magnitude should hit the papers less than a week apart — that our mental image of the world should require such sudden, violent remapping in so short a time. It serves as a useful reminder that the “consensus” of global policy experts is always founded on sensitive instruments of economic, social and scientific measurement that may prove to be miscalibrated — especially when one considers the enormous incentives for politically motivated tampering that are almost always present.
    Would it be opportunistic for us to note that if we can go so far wrong in counting AIDS cases, or figuring out the spending power of a yuan, we have even less warrant to be confident of the expert “consensus” when it comes to far more complex enterprises — like, say, predicting the future of the planet’s climate? …-

    Lynne Mason over at Electric Cars Are For Girls has gotten hold of Gompertz for a lengthy Q&A on what it’s like to sell EVs and other green cars in Bozeman, Montana.

    How does he feel about the two NEV makers on his list? Gompertz told Mason that, **For electric cars, we chose the Zenn and the Miles. They’re both excellent quality electric cars that you can plug in like a cell phone, and both easily adaptable to Montana’s 35mph NEV speed limit.**

  44. Bolton on Hiding the Facts and Accepting the Unacceptable
    Ambassador John Bolton: “I think Iran is very close to acquiring a nuclear weapons capability. I think they’ve mastered the science and technology to do so, and I think deferring to the Europeans over the past four-plus years for their negotiation, which has failed to dissuade the Iranians from this strategic decision they have been pursuing, I think it leaves us with very few options. I think we’re down to two basically: one is regime change in Teheran, and the other as a last resort is the targeted use of military force against Iran’s nuclear weapons program.”

  45. An interesting perspective from an Australian female convert:
    Using Muslim women as a weapon against us
    I thought it was going really well, until about fifteen minutes from the end when one of the participants blew a gasket. It was on the issue of women and the discrimination women can face in some Muslim institutions. As a speaker I don’t believe in apologetics and so I will be quite candid that there are issues we as Muslim women face, but I also make it quite clear that I don’t believe sexism is Islamic, nor is it something we have to put up with as Muslims, it’s our ‘gender jihad’ to use the proggy Muslim phrase. Anyway the participant just exploded with condescension about how oppressed Muslim women are, how excluded they are from political processes etc.
    Now, Muslim women, feminism, gender issues etc. is an area I feel pretty comfortable with, so I started to explain that experiences for Muslim women vary from culture to culture and as soon as I opened my mouth she just rolled her eyes and looked away. It didn’t matter that I pointed out the Muslim world has produced more female prime-ministers than Australia has, that women in Muslim majority cultures have alternative fora for accessing religiousity and spirituality (eg. historically Muslim women might visit the popular shrines moreso than mosques in some areas, or hold religious meetings and circles in homes etc.) and that while sexism does exist in the Muslim world, the experiences of Muslim women can very depending on a whole range of factors including class, socio-economic factors etc. There was nothing that I could say to this woman that would shift her from the idea that Muslim women are universally oppressed and victimised and by implication it is the fault of Islam and Muslim men.
    I think it rattled me because I felt my candidness and openness with the audience had been used against me. It’s the issue I think all Muslim feminists have to deal with – when our desire to combat un-Islamic sexism and discrimination to improve the lives of Muslim women (and by extension Muslim men) is turned against us and used as a weapon to fire shots at our beautiful religion and our dear Muslim brothers, fathers, and sons.
