The reasons behind the Castro resignation:
http://jonswift.blogspot.com/2008/02/castro-resigns-sanctions-work.html
When I first started dating my wife she had Dan’s big album in her collection. I referred to him as Dan Fffing Hill. She didn’t get it. I’m a pretty easy going guy but every time I heard “Sometimes When We Touch” I just wanted it get him in a headlock and grind his face in the grass.
And now he shows up on the cover of MacLean’s under the headline “Every Parents Worse Nightmare”
Yah, like we have all stumbled through this same parenting problem; “Over the last year and a half, three young adults who have set foot in my house, in the well-to-do, tree-lined Beaches neighbourhood of Toronto, have been murdered.”
Jesus God…that is about the most pathetic thing I’ve ever seen.
“Happy Day”? Aaaggh!
And anyway, doesn’t that discriminate against depressed people? Why not just call it “Day”.
Hay, maybe Dan Hill can benefit from a legion of social engineers visiting him.
Good evening, ladies & gentlemen, welcome to SDA Late Nite Radio. Tonight, just by chance, we have the perfect antidote to Mr. Hill’s emasculated performance. Here for you delectation is a very muscular work by San Fransisco’s Taiko Dojo, performing in Tokyo in 1994:

Don’t bother following Iberia’s link above unless you want to waste your time at a liberal site that thinks it is satirizing conservatives in a Stephen Colbert kind of way (where the site owner pretends to be a conservative and says a bunch of idiotic things). The satire is supposed to communicate the usual leftist meme that Cuban poverty has nothing to do with Castro’s fifty years of failed policies. Instead, rich Cuban exiles kept their fellow Cubans poor through pressuring American politicians on sanctions. What the would-be satirists and history illiterates apparently don’t comprehend is that the communism and dictatorship they admire has exactly that predictable effect on its citizens anywhere it’s tried – they’re poverty-stricken. So what’s the problem? You love communism, you love poverty for the people.
Why blame a capitalist society for not giving economic life support to a communist dictatorship? Why not blame the primary cause, the communist dictator? (Because leftists love and excuse their thugs).
I just read the Mcleans article written by Dan Hill and I must say,it really,REALLY,brought tears to my eyes.
Tears of FUC%#*G LAUGHTER !!!!!!!
That Dan Hill sure is one sniveling,simpering wimp.
Please GOD,have mercy and save us from the sheer and utter weakness of Canadian liberals.

Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan was not involved in Kandahar blast in which 100 civilians were martyred Sunday 17-02-08, a powerful bomb which was detonated during a dog fighting competition in Kandahar, in which 100 civilian were martyred. We the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan were not involve in it and we condom this act of martyring innocent civilians.
The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan intelligence thinks that the targeted was a militia leader, Abdul Hakim Jan, who died in the attack, along with 35 of his men.
Abdul Hakim Jan who had enmities and discrepancy with the puppet governor and other officials, so there is a strong possibility that is act was coordinated by the puppet government to eliminate those who disagree with it.
Soon after the attack the puppet government put the blame on the Mujahideen to give the Mujahideen a bad name, but Mujahideen do not target civilians, cause they are not fighting the civilians but the invaders and its puppets, any intelligent person could see that there is no logic from the Mujahideen side to be attacking civilians, the kafirs and munafiqs use their controlled media to tell the world that Mujahideen are killing innocent civilians, but the reality is that it is them who are slaughtering innocent civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan.

I actually found the Hill article interesting. I think Hill admitted to all of the foibles and self doubt that went with being easy going.
I think he struggled with tryign to figure out how to keep his son on the straight and narrow, doing something most parents cant afford, sending him off to a private school. But shouldn’t you be celebrating him acting as a parent as opposed to letting the kid do whatever he wanted.
You may not like the song, i dont, and you may not like what his Dad stated, what led to HRC’s. remeber Borovoy is alive and can comment on the wrong turn they took, dan hill senior has passed on. We’ll never know.
Maybe I read a different article but I saw parents who had been “liberal” in their upbringing act like parents instead of friends when it counted. I saw Hill recognize the lack of male role models in the “black” community and how this is a problem. I saw Hill struggle with his own role as a father, what it meant to be one and how far that extended outside his own family, i.e. you cant save everyone.
As I said, maybe I am missing soemthing here but I thought it was an honest well written tale. I get the feeling some want to crap over it as liberal tripe, but that isnt what is there as far as I can tell.
If it is just that people cant relate to a gentrified upper class family in the Beaches, well thats part of the story, both in how it can happen, the money was part of the problem and part of the solution. But dont let class envy get in the way, isnt that what “the others” do?
Once again, maybe I am missing something or reading too much into it. In general, I thought it was a good story and one worth reading.
I guess I am the token dissenter on this……
BTW….
Ezra correctly points out PEN comes on board for the criticism of Section 13.
http://www.ezralevant.com/
Good for them, they have been consistent in their defence of writers of free speech. You may not always agree with them on other things, but they are consistent on this point, as they should be.
Once again, I always think it is important to give credit when it is due, if only to enable you to crticize when it isnt deserved :->
Tieing back to WK and the last redoubt on HRC. WK recognized that the Macleans and LEvant cases were overreach, he said it. However, WK doesnt want section 13 removed he wanted the cases dropped to not prompt the reaction it is getting.
I think that position is becoming more untenable. The “thought crime” provision will be removed in the next Parliament. How much more “reform” will happen is another question. You wont see wholesale deconstruction though.
“Happy Day”
That’s hilarious (or would be if it were not so pathetic).
Perhaps we could all wear armbands with giant smileys on them.
Dan Hill had a greatest hit collection?
There’s only six comments on the Mike Evans link, but every one is hilarious.
Kathy, thanks for expressing far better than I could the idiocy of Dan Hill’s cringe-making article about “a parent’s worst nightmare.” I think a kid’s worst nightmare is having a bleeding-heart liberal parent like Dan Hill.
As the parent of two, I marvelled at Daddy Hill’s cowering repose in his studio while his family–one son and wife–was being consistently harassed, vilified, and robbed by the hooligans his son, always the best-dressed thug on the block, brought home.
It sure took Dan a long time to get hip to their jive and tell them they weren’t welcome in his home. He never seems to have given his son the talk HE needed about his unsavoury lifestyle or to have set limits to the kid’s behaviour–which any good parent would have done long before the situation escalated to the kind of harassment the Hill household eventually experienced.
THAT’S the problem, Stephen, a lot of us have with Dan Hill’s violin-drenched sob-story about his family’s brush with three murdered black teens. As usual with the lib-left, Dan declines to lay blame anywhere. It’s, like, it just happened. His son just happened to make these friends, who just happened to be heavily into the gang scene, which just happened to be extremely nasty and violent. To his credit, he did admit being an absent father through most of his son’s growing up years, but that was just an aside. I suggest he should write an article about absentee fathers and the havoc they’ve wreaked on their children and society, at large. That would be more to the point.
To find out, at the end of the article, that Hill’s father was one of the asshats responsible for our bogus Human Rights Commissions, kind of puts into (im)proper perspective all of Dan Hill’s cowering and hand-wringing when faced with black thugs out to do harm to his son and family.
Sometimes When We Throw Up…
Re: “Happy Day”
Certainly it’s hilarious.
Is everybody here absolutely sure that Mr. Evans wasn’t making a pretty damned funny joke at the Star’s and other “progressive’s” expense?
I thought it was a great one!
Hill makes a big deal out of his son’s confusion over his “mixed race heritage,” and seems to accept without question that his only way of exploring the black side of his heritage was to hang out with wannabe gangbangers listening to thuggish rap music. That’s the most tragic part of the story to me – not the early deaths of the young men who made the Hills live under siege for several years. Are there no other role models provided by the black community for their kids? Hill is a musician – what about Duke Ellington, Lena Horne, Sidney Poitier, Ralph Ellison – hell, even Hill’s own father? After all these years of babble and policy bullying about Afrocentric education, black kids still turn to some dead-eyed failed criminal like 50 Cent as a default?

Warmington calls for McGuinty to “apologise” for Caledinia”
http://tinyurl.com/2muyvh
“”On the eve of the 2nd anniversary of the Caledonia crisis, it’s time for the premier to apologize for a horrible wrong
By JOE WARMINGTON
Toronto Sun
Feb 21, 2008
CALEDONIA — If Sam Gualtieri had died when he was attacked by a pack of goons last year, would Premier Dalton McGuinty have come down for his funeral?
That was the main question people here asked yesterday.
Another: If Gualtieri had become Caledonia’s Dudley George, would McGuinty have called a multimillion-dollar inquiry to get to the bottom of it?
We may never know the answers since the people of Caledonia have never been able to pose any questions to our fearful leader.
The start of the crisis and standoff between the police and native occupiers at Caledonia is about to celebrate its two-year anniversary this month, and so far there has been no sign of the premier. His own staffers acknowledged he has not been here once.
If he ever decides to check out one of the province’s most embarrassing messes, the first place he ought to stop is the home of Gualtieri, a 53-year-old former homebuilder who believes he was one blow away from being murdered.””
I’d just be happy if they’d arrest and charge the perpetrators which are already identified
In the French military handbook, a military retreat is a ‘strategic ADVANCE to the rear’.
Dj,
You have hit upon a really good point. Hill cut his son some slack because he went through a “similar phase”, confusion over his heritage and what it meant. Not being mixed race I dont know what there is to discover, I thought we were all human….but anyway.
Hill went through that phase in what, the early 70’s. Very very different time, Toronto was a very different place. Not realizing that was a problem….his son would be trying to discover his “black” side with very different people.
Early 70’s that would have been looking at Bob Marley, Muhammed Ali or any one of a number of soul singers, you are correct his father and some others. On the more radical side, Black Panthers (although a dying movement) the Black Muslims.
At the end of the day not too much harm you could get into exploring your “black side” in Toronto in the early 70’s….worst thing would be a pot smoking rastafarian, pretty harmless.
Today, gun toting thuggery is the example given. You are right he barely touches on it mentioning the kids from I forget the area….all being raised by single moms and how they lack and crave male role models….all young boys look to older males for guidance and example, whether they know it or not.
I think the point of the article was to describe the whole journey. It was lengthy as it was. The whole thing would make a book as you delved into each of thes areas and Hill might pronounce some opinion.
I still didnt see it as soft as some are seeing it. I think Hill admits his mistakes, too easy, absentee at the beginning (a problem in any urban professional household) and describes how he found himself having to do things he never imagined. The lack of depth on some of those issues I put down to space restrictions.
I do think the lesson of the story IS Kathy’s comment….it may not be explicit but its there. Hill sent his kid away to a boarding school to get him away from the bad influence. He has confrontations with these thugs. Boarding school was required to correct and protect from a too open environment.
I think the surprise to Hill was that this stuff was out there, the influences. What he diddnt do was arm his kid initially with the ability to stay away from these thngs on his own, every parents challenge. I think that goes back to the earlier point, he thought he could relate to what his son was going through, so he gave him space, but the external environment had radically changed. Thats what I dont think many “liberal easygoing” parents today get. Very very different environment.
The article is defenitely a “little sweet” but I dont know if the derision is deserved. I think Mr Hill is a different, dare I say it, a more conservative parent at the end of it. Its too late for him, but his story was a warning to parents to be aware of the things he wasnt aware of.
Some seem to want to hold him acocuntable for self admitted errors, errors in child rearing that he wouldnt make again if he had to do it all over again. I guess I see the article as a parable and a warning, others want to see it as a “he deserved it/told you so” kind of thing. I think that misses the point. Of course that wouldnt allow for some easy jokes to be made about that awful song.
All IMHO of course. All opinions are welcome.

I posted on the Dan Hill essay yesterday…
I found originally in the print copy while at my physio’s office…
I though it was a good piece …. it takes guts to reveal so much of one’s internal self like that and I think Hill deserves praise for that.
For sure .. the person that he reveals is stereotypical lib/left touchy feely with a thought process that grates on the nerves of many …. But let’s be honest about it … he DID man up when he had to.
Too bad he finished the story with that self doubting angst over the fate of the prick who victimized his family though.
So it is seems that’s just the nature of the lefty mind … it’s too uncomfortable to face harsh realities so the default mode is doubt, denial and self loathing guilt over the coarser side of their nature.

It’s interesting to analyze Kinsella’s obsession with Kate. Why? His assertions that she’s a ‘bigot, a racist’ are unfounded nonsense. Even if she were – what’s it to him? There are lots of real bigots, racists in Canada; yet, he totally ignores them. So, it isn’t racism or bigotry that bothers him. What’s with his obsessive focus on Kate?
Yes, he’s an egoist. Just as Chretien is a rabid narcissistic egoist. The two of them share a similar pyschological neurosis. But does that explain his frothing fury with Kate? Yes, she laughs at him – that might be a part of it. The Egoist can’t handle non-subservience.
But, is his disappearance into the margins of power a factor? You can only spin a narrative for a while before its fault lines dissipate the story.
Kinsella’s (and Chretien’s) claims of Three Straight Majorities, ignore that these majorities were due to a number of factors that had nothingn to do with their own value:
1) there were no Opposition Parties. Gosh, Kinsella, that helps, doesn’t it?
2) funding for the Liberals came from a variety of sources. Above all, it was not from the grassroots citizens, but from manipulated sources:
– big corporations which were embedded within the Liberal Party by that Party setting itself up to subsidize and assist them;
– the taxpayer. Heh, Kinsella ignores that the Liberal Party stole over 40 million from the taxpayer to fund their Quebec campaign after the referendum.
3)Manipulation of the voters into Faithful Blocs.
The Liberals set up multiculturalism as a tactic of controlling the allegiance of immigrants. Immigrants were told that they could essentially bring their old beliefs and behaviour to Canada; there was no need to assimilate. These ‘blocs’ were then funded by the Liberals for their own schools, community centres etc. They became Faithful Liberals.
Since Ontario, and Toronto, are the key immigrant sites and also a large number of seats in the House, the Liberals were able to control their vote.
The same is true in Montreal and Vancouver.
Essentially, it was ‘divide and rule’.
4) Threats. That’s another emotional tactic. If anyone criticizes you, you threaten them with a lawsuit. Warren’s basic mechanical reaction to any criticism is to threaten them with that. People like Ezra, who knows far more about law than Warren, laugh at his threats.
5)Propaganda. Ahh, Warren likes propaganda. This is a tactic where you LIE. Simple and basic. Warren shows us how he does this in his obsession with Kate, where he cuts and pastes quotes totally out of context, to ‘prove’ his allegations against her. The fact that it’s false; the fact that it’s legally, defamatory, doesn’t bother him. How’s that for ethics and morality?
The Liberals use this strategy all the time. It’s based, not on reason or evidence, of course, but on the lack of reason and evidence. Pure emotional manipulation.
How about their rhetoric about Harper? The ‘Hidden Agenda’? You can’t prove or disprove it because it’s hidden!
Anti-Americanism? That’s a basic strategy of the Liberals. Have a Faithful Irrelevant Cause for All Evil. That means you don’t have to face anything yourself.
Warren is using propaganda now, in his obsession with Kate. He’s marginalized, he’s out of the zones of power. He can’t handle that. He’s out of the MSM. Hmm, will the Toronto Star take him?
He’s now aligned himself with Richard Warman and the CJC. That’s a narrow and small zone of influence. I suspect that Warren will dig himself deeper into this neurotic hole and become more irrational, more obsessed.
Charlie Szrom, Russia’s Serbia Strategy
Yet pretenses of defending international law or analysis pointing to traditional ties hide the real reason for Russia’s position: Serbia lets Russia project power and accrue profit in Southeastern Europe. Russian-Serbian trade has spiked, and Russian corporations have begun snatching up Serbian assets at bargain-basement prices. Vladimir Putin has even acknowledged this, calling it “natural that a resurgent Russia is returning [to Serbia].”

…Now, however, there is simply no denying the remarkable improvements in Iraq since the surge began a year ago.

Their presidential candidates (eight of them at the time) unanimously oppose the surge. Then the evidence begins trickling in…

Some folks are missing my point about Dan Hill, perhaps because it is too unpleasant to contemplate:
I don’t question Hill’s sincerity for a moment. The article was indeed baldly self-revelatory.
However, I’d have preferred him to be an insincere, insensitive man who killed three hoodlums in self-defense than an honest man who didn’t have the nerve.
that is all.

The natural end result of socialism: “the Khmer Rouge”, a “re-enact” of crimes/murder/genocide.
AssPress calls this barbarity: “alleged crimes”.
No, AssPress, there is no reasonable doubt; you cannot gloss/sugarcoat this; the Khmer Rouge communists/socialists slaughtered their own people. That is genocide.

Detained former Khmer Rouge chief executioner to re-enact alleged crimes
PHNOM PENH, Cambodia – The head of the main Khmer Rouge torture center will be taken from a detention cell to the former regime’s “killing fields” next week to stage a re-enactment of his alleged crimes before officials of Cambodia’s genocide tribunal, a judge said Friday.
Kaing Guek Eav, also known as Duch, has been charged with crimes against humanity for his role as commandant of the Khmer Rouge’s notorious S-21 prison and torture center in the capital, Phnom Penh.
The site is now a genocide museum.

Brock describes you as the Teflon girl Kate.
True, but I’m not sure if I like the comparison to Cretien.
As usual Mr Halfbaked assumes he is speaking to people who don’t already know what he thinks he understands….. offering advice on what WE should educate ourselves about.
Link dumping Trolls with NOTHING to contribute… perpetual waders in the shallow end of the splash pool imagining that they swim with sharks.
CanPress/MSM has “concrete” proof;
surly servants/bureauc-rats are “constipated”.
That’s news? It’s been proven before; ask LGF: * 8 out of 10 lab rats say so *
John Tory’s former minister also says so.
Has PM Harper pulled a fast one on the MSM & the bureauc-rats? LOL.
Warning: Included by the MSM: It’s more Off:
The MSM spin/propaganda in this story is a piece of Off; incredible is the anger/venom/Harperphobia of the MSM here displayed. (*sample below)

More performance reviews needed in public service: report
OTTAWA – A federal panel on public service reform says it’s time to seek “concrete plans” for disentangling accountability rules that have constipated the bureaucracy.
About 30 per cent of government overhead costs now go to complying with rules and reporting requirements, Don Mazankowski said in interview Friday.
“You’ll probably hear more of the ‘web of rules,’ where rules are piled upon rules, making it more difficult for public servants,” said the former Tory finance minister.
“We’ve certainly had some clear evidence of that in this session and we’re going to spend a lot more time on that.”

* Sample of MSM/Off: “Instead, government secrecy under the Tories has reached epidemic proportions, with record numbers of complaints about denial of timely access to information that legally should be public.
The public service, meanwhile, is bogged down in paper-pushing rules that stem from the accountability legislation.”
