  2. Libs jeopardize lives to score political points
    link to CTV news article at bottom
    “The Liberals have said they had safety concerns, but Prime Minister Stephen Harper accused them of being part of the problem. He said past Liberal appointments to the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNCS) which overseas the Atomic Energy Canada Limited (AECL) that runs the plant are partly to blame. Harper believes bickering between the AECL and the CNCS has exacerbated issues.
    “The continuing actions of the Liberal-appointed nuclear safety commission will jeopardize the health and safety and lives of tens of thousands of Canadians,” Harper said.”

    “Rob
    Facts: There were numerous upgrades put in place over the last 10 years. Part of the upgrades were starters on 2 of the 8 main coolant pumps that would be powered by a seismically qualified back-up emergency power system.(this would replace an existing back-up starter powered by an emergency power supply that is not seismically qualified)All the other upgrades were installed but the 2 starters were missed. One is now installed, it will take a few more weeks to install the second. AECL submitted a case to the CNSC to run with 1 starter finished and a scheduled deadline to complete the second over a short period of time.
    The CNSC refused that plan and insisted both be completed. Saying the reactor was operating unsafely is incorrect. It was operating in violation of the operating license issued last year that specified all the upgrades were to have been completed. If you’re going to insist on waiting for a back-up reactor you had better hope you don’t get sick in the next 2 years.”
    The (Liberal appointee) head of the regulatory agency is not returning calls.

  6. Afghanistan flag flies over Musa Qala
    United Press International
    NATO claimed victory Tuesday in the four-day battle for Musa Qala as the Afghanistan flag was raised over what had been the only town held by the Taliban.
    NATO military leaders promised that the town in Helmand Province will get the decent government and economic development that was not provided before the Taliban moved in months ago, The Times of London reported.
    “We have a plan ready, and we will want to demonstrate that people will be better off with the Afghan government than they were with the Taliban,” said Lt. Col. Richard Easton, a spokesman for the British military. …-

  7. From Dion’s, Excellent Ad(scam)venture site.
    Where he brags
    “Dion sets out Agenda for the UN Climate Change Meetings in Bali”
    (Snort)Sure Steffi fax it on over.
    “Mr. Dion’s letter outlined key objectives for the Canadian delegation in Bali, including:
    Helping the world community come to an agreement that it will not allow the global climate to change temperature by more than 2°C;”
    Socialist do-nothings, telling a planet what’s “allowed.”
    Don’t bother looking to this site if you’re like me, trying to undertstand why Dion walks like he forgot to take his skates off.
    All pics of France’s best Canadian opposition leader are from the knees up.

  8. Any of you link savvy folks , how do you get around the ‘no follow ‘?
    Posted by: Bill D. Cat at December 11, 2007 6:40 PM
    I’ve noticed that. I think it might be some kind of line wrap thing. Just leave it, I think. Put your link syntax together, then hit preview button to confirm you’ve got it right, before posting. I just prepared one elsewhere, saw the no follow thingees, left them alone, it was fine.
    (a href=”paste link here”)your link title here(a)
    replacing round brackets with greater than and less than characters.

  10. Stephen outmanuevers the Libs again.meanwhile Borat Dion in Bali “suggest an ha genda ”
    It was an unpalatable choice for the Liberals, who rejected the call earlier in the day and argued it was irresponsible.
    “Attacking the regulator, taking [it] out of the process, is going to make the problem worse,” Deputy Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff said Tuesday, responding to Harper’s assertion that the nuclear watchdog’s legislative authority should take a back seat to the urgent need for radioisotopes.
    ‘What will happen if there’s a nuclear accident?’
    Liberal MP Omar Alghabra noted that resolving the crisis should not come at the cost of lowering nuclear safety standards

  11. Yeah, well, it’s like Omar Alakadabra would know a hell of a lot about anything pertaining to our Nuclear Plants.
    Still waiting for sh*tmouth Holland to apologize for his vitriolic smear of John Baird, trying to link him to the Ottawa Mayor’s dealings. The police have said there is no link and they are not pursuing Baird at all.
    The Conservatives had better keep demanding an apology from that jackass.

  12. GG: The feministas’ feminista. Greer does “very tricky”.

    Feminist fatalist [Mark Steyn]
    Pamela Bone to Germaine Greer in Melbourne last week:
    I then asked why it was that Western feminists seemed so reluctant to speak out against things such as honour killings.
    Greer: “It’s very tricky. I am constantly being asked to go to Darfur to interview rape victims. I can talk to rape victims here. Why should I go to Darfur to talk to rape victims?”
    Questioner (me): “Because it’s so much worse there.”
    Greer: “Who says it is?”
    Questioner: “I do, because I’ve been there.”
    Greer: “Well, it is just very tricky to try to change another culture. We let down the victims of rape here. We haven’t got it right in our own courts. What good would it do for me to go over there and try to tell them what to do? I am just part of decadent Western culture and they think we’re all going to hell fast and maybe we are all going to hell fast.”
    Too “tricky” to speak out against honor killings, and you can’t teach an old feminist new tricks….-

  13. (Via Israpundit) Spengler, Israel, the hope of the Muslim world
    The state of Israel embodies the last, best chance for the Islamic world to come to terms with the modern world. Received wisdom in the foreign ministries of the West holds that relations with Muslims would be ever so much easier without the annoying presence of the Jewish state, which humiliates the Muslim world. Just the opposite is true. The Israeli presence in the territory of the ancient Jewish commonwealth, on land that once belonged to the Dar al’Islam, offers the single, slender hope for the future of the Muslim world, precisely because it constitutes a humiliation.
    The premise of Western policy is to tread lightly upon Muslim sensibilities. That is an error of first magnitude, for Muslim sensibilities are what prevents the Islamic world from creating modern states. Islam cannot produce the preconditions for democracy in the Western sense out of its own resources.
