  1. R. Fife on ctv newsnet says that he has found out that KHS paid Mulroney to lobby the UN to buy light armoured vehicles. He also says that Mulroney did not pay gst on the money because it was work done outside of Canada. A quick recap. KHS has testified that he and his associates have never had any contact with Harper or his office. KHS and/or Fife claim that Mulroney was paid to lobby outside of Canada. Now if all this is true,Fife has been known to be wrong, how are the libs and media going to spin it so that it sticks to Harper. PMSH may have been giving sage advice when he warned Steffi to be careful for what he wishes for.

  2. With sagacity reminiscent of a white washed sepulchre and the puerile logic of a venomous asp, ET justifies the extermination of a beautiful young woman. A young lady who loved the colours of a rainbow, who would become enraptured by the gossamer wings of the butterfly that had just brushed against her cheek, and was fascinated by the beauty of ribbons an bows. With all the compassion of the most vile eugenicist ET excuses the actions of a man who took his helpless daughter put her in nearest gas chamber and opened the valve on a long slow painful death.
    What great and noble cause did this sordid act advance? What purpose did it serve? With all the wealth of this land, with all the societal supports available, with all the friends and relatives ready, willing and able to provide respite care we are supposed to excuse a man killed his daughter in a manner moral people restrict to the eradication of vermin.
    Who is so worthy that they shall determine who shall live and who must die. Some ideologically driven despot? Some elitist who by power of superior intellect so determines? Shall we who are “whole” decree that those who do not meet our lofty perfection be flushed like an over ripe turd?
    This I know, “A society that fails to protect its most vulnerable no longer belongs in the ranks of the civilized.”

  3. Oh well, one can think of Latimer’s conviction as delayed retribution for his rape conviction of 1974. He, and another man, were convicted of raping a 15 yr old girl when Latimer was 21. The rape conviction was overturned on appeal because the trial judge hadn’t allowed sufficient examination of the girl’s previous sexual history.
    So, he’s a rapist and a murderer.

  4. joe and ol hoss – get stuffed. With facts. Not romantic rubbish.
    The daughter was long past being even capable of enrapture with butterflies. She was in continual outrageous physical agony. Justify that type of life in your santimonious self-glorification.
    Justify torture. Justify allowing a loved one to live, without remedy, in agony. Justify it.
    Justify ‘protecting’ someone to live, 24 hours a day, in agony. Justify how that is ‘protecting the most vulnerable’. Justify torture, justify insisting, for your sanctimonious self, that another person endure torture. Go on. Do it.
    And don’t give me that bullshit about ‘long slow painful death’. Carbon monoxide poisoning is painless.
    As for the rape charge, it was dropped. End of story. And, it has nothing to do with this situation.

  5. I defer to your infinite IQ ET. I was just quoting what people who had met and interacted with the girl said. Obviously you know better. According to the medical profession, who obviously know so much less than you, what was required to aleviate the pain was the removal of part of the femur kind of like what they do for hip replacements. For your sake I hope that should you ever need a hip replacement your caregiver doesn’t take you out behind the barn and gas you like an infestation of rats.
    A society that fails to protect its most vulnerable no longer belongs in the ranks of the civilized.

  6. That’s interesting, joe. I was just quoting what people who had met and interacted with the girl said as well. Her condition had deteriorated badly over the past two years.
    And I was quoting her doctors, who said that the operation wasn’t ‘all’ that was necessary; that there was no solution because her bones were distintegrating; that the operation’s aftermath would increase her pain; that she was unable to tolerate more than Tylenol, which didn’t ease the pain, because of her anti-convulsant drugs.
    You haven’t answered my questions; Do you support torture? Do you support permitting a loved one to live in agony? Answer – and enough with the sanctimonious talk. Live in the real world and answer: Do you support torture?

  7. Nor did you answer mine: Who shall determine when someone else’s life is no longer worth living?
    As for your question suffering and torture are two entirely different things. Our job is to alleviate not eliminate suffering.
