  1. Let the puffin-poop covering begin.Over at Liberal.ca,the headline reads:
    Conservatives Grossly Distort Stephane Dion’s recent Comments on Pakistan….yeah right!
    I guess the FEW in the MSM that have also pointed out what a dangerous remark it was are ‘distorting’ as well eh Stef?
    Article just went up on Montreal Gazette site as well..Dion says Pakistan comment was misinterpreted.
    I found first line of article interesting..As the Pakistan gov’t.was preparing to denounce him,Lib.leader SD yesterday debunked reports he favors NATO military incursion to root out insurgents who use Pakistan as a base for terrorist attacks in neighbouring Afghan.
    I am wondering what Pakistani canadians are thinking of the Lib “leader”now..and will it affect their voting practices???

  2. News, just heard..
    Canadian Detwiler, [ space related firm ], is to be sold to Minisota based arms, [Mines and scatter bombs , [ good kids killers ], maker.
    The US bomb maker has it*s mines in the oceans, desert sands, and rural roads dirt.
    With the Canadian Detwiler purchase, they will be able to hang their bombs in space.
    Can we soon expect to see the flare of Russian *Sputicks* when they bump into mines hung in space by the new [US] Detwiler? = TG

  4. Could someone, perhaps Lookout, explain what the curriculum in an Afrocentric school as is being proposed by the Toronto School board would be?

    WASHINGTON (CNN) — A Canadian who has pleaded guilty to charges including conspiracy to kill Americans and conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction against U.S. property will be sentenced Friday, his lawyer said.
    Mohammed Mansour Jabarah, 25, pleaded guilty shortly after his arrest in 2002. His indictment and plea were unsealed late Thursday at the U.S. District Court in New York.
    Prosecutors recommended last June that he be sentenced to life in prison.
    Jabarah, also known by the nickname “Sammy,” also allegedly pledged allegiance to al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.
    The government had been investigating Jabarah since his arrest overseas. Court papers allege he was trained in al Qaeda camps in Afghanistan.
    He met with bin Laden and al Qaeda leader Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in the summer of 2001, was given money and told to carry out attacks on U.S. embassies in Southeast Asia, the government says. Those plots failed.
    The indictment alleges Jabarah and other al Qaeda members “unlawfully, willfully, and knowingly combined, conspired, confederated, and agreed to kill nationals of the United States.”
    He later allegedly went to Oman to set up safe houses for al Qaeda members fleeing Afghanistan. There, he was arrested.
    Jabarah’s guilty plea and sentence were first tied to a cooperation agreement. U.S. officials said he initially helped ongoing terror probes, while staying in an FBI-arranged house under the around-the-clock watch of federal agents.
    But “Jabarah was secretly planning to exploit the perception of cooperation,” to carry out a “martyrdom mission” to kill American agents and prosecutors, U.S. officials said.
    Knives, rope and directions for making explosives were found in his possession

  7. Mark 7:52,
    I like all the fill-in on the Torch posting.
    My comment was just speculative since I know next to nothing about it all.
    There is just something sour about any firm that makes cluster bombs and land mines. Mines stick around for years and blow children apart as they play.
    The Torch does supply a lot of interesting info. = TG

  10. CHERNIAK BLAMES CONSERVATIVES FOR TRICKING PAKISTAN INTO ENTERING DOMESTIC POLITICS..looks like he’s the next reincarnation of his glorious leader!He lays out this latest theory (cue the space alien scary music)in bizarro,cherniak logic.
    His laying out the chain of events,by blaming Peter Kent of Canwest News,then Peter McKay..oh those dirty peters..,then it’s Stephen Taylor’s fault,for ‘tricking the Pakistan high Commision into making a statement(see Taylor’s blog)..this led to misleading reports in Pakistan newspaper…I didn’t realize Cons.bloggers had that much power!
