  1. Heard in the radio on the way home that a man is under arrest for beheading an Etobicoke woman.

  2. Kate:
    Check out Kinsella`s site…he is rattling sabres again and one is aimed at you. I guess it is time to slap him down again!

  4. PWGSC Worker,
    I asked about the * Firewall* practice on CalgaryGrit.
    The answers, if some have the nerve, will be most interesting.
    CG is actually a very tolerant blogger and attracts some pretty good thinkers. = TG

  6. Check out Kinsella`s site…
    Don’t bother. He just wants the attention and the traffic. Don’t give it to him.

  8. I’m not going to WK’s blog, but could someone reveal what he’s saying about Kate?
    He’s riding on her wave…how dare he be so inhospitable as to mean-mouth Kate!

  9. A perusal of Globe and Mail by election coverage, nearly a full day after the vote,
    is still reporting the Libs with a five point spread in Quadra (as opposed to the .6% spread).
    To put that in perspective, they’ve left in place(in the circumstances it must be knowingly) “news” of a Liberal lead that is more than NINE TIMES greater than the actual result.

  10. After a day of the Liberal media’s Bob Rae love in and seeing his smugness (Rae) featured on every talk show I just can’t shake the feeling that I need a shower. Rae just gives me the creeps – he is like a snake oil salesman – onbe of those true blue con men – glib and practiced and he , in my opinion, is the front man for a very dangerous cabal of PowerCorporation with his borther VP John and Communist China cahoots big shot, Bob Rae’s Uncle Maurice Strong.
    Hang on, fellow Canadians, I think we are about to be hoodwinked by the smarmy underbelly of the most corrupt backroom elites this country has ever ever had – from Trudeau on – and now alive and well and getting ready to socialize our country again (or as Rae calls it – the Progressive Coalition).
    By any other words Rae and the seedy underbellies who controlled this country under every PM since Trudeau mean communism. Now, more than ever we have to attack the Liberal media who are swooning for Rae as the new hope. Now more than ever we have to uncover those pulling the strings behind the scenes of the Liberal party and the media.
    I am totally spooked out by this guy Rae anbd my grandmother’s spidey sense for spotting a con man are tingling like crazy.
    Anybody else just sense the sleeze here?

  12. Anyone else agree with Susan Delacourt that low voter turnout means dissatisfaction with the government?
    She’s also predicting a Spring election. Guess she’s like the rest of the Liberal cloud dwellers, giddy they retained two Toronto seats, squeaked by in one and LOST one. sounds like a real winning scenario for the Conservatives who are well ahead in the latest polls, for what that’s worth.
    Having an election in Spring will not give much time for their new wonder members to strut their stuff in the HOC. It seems the media are the ones who most want an election, they can’t bear Harper’s success and good management. The longer he’s in power the worse it will be for the Liberalis Feudum.

  14. Foreboding rises on Tibetan plateau as China gathers forces

    “Struggling to report on Tibetans
    This is an interesting time to be a foreign correspondent in China. Like dozens of colleagues, I am near the border with Tibet but unable to get in.
    I happen to be in Sichuan province. And I’ve been in contact with colleagues who I know are in Gansu and Qinghai provinces, all trying to get a feel for what’s going on among ethnic Tibetans.
    It is not easy. We are face some measure of difficulty, trying to outsmart Chinese provincial authorities who would just as soon muzzle the foreign press at times like this.
    None of us can enter Tibet, which is off limits to foreign reporters without a permit. I know of only one foreign journalist, James Miles of The Economist, who had the good fortune to be in Lhasa as events unfolded over the past few days.
    So the rest of us spread out to neighboring provinces. There are 2.9 million Tibetans living in what is known as the Tibetan Autonomous Region, or for simplicity’s sake Tibet. But a couple million more dwell in adjacent provinces, often living near other minorities or the majority Han Chinese. I’m now in a city with a majority Tibetan population, although I won’t say which one it is.
    We foreign reporters all take precautions. […]
    I may get stopped in the next 24 hours. But I’ll do my best to wriggle out of it.”

    “the authorities have been conducting night-time arrests in other parts of the city, but this is not confirmed.”

    Situation Resolved?
    My apologies for the lack of updates – I have been without access to the internet for a number of days. Today people returned to the streets of Lhasa in droves. There are tons of Chinese police and army in the city but they are letting people wander without too much difficulty. Schools were also open today – hopefully all this means that there will not be any further escalation of the situation. Since the 14th things have quieted down dramatically – aside from a few booms and bangs we haven’t been able to hear much from where we are. We have heard, however, that the authorities have been conducting night-time arrests in other parts of the city, but this is not confirmed. …-

  16. I just saw Mike Duffy Live late west coast edition. Babara Yaffe declared that the Libs only won by 5%. Duffy didn’t correct her. Do they think we are crazy! I just went back on the net and the margin of victory is still less than 1%.
    Sheesh. Has the result been readjusted up t 5% ?????? Or are Duffy and gang fools?

  17. lmf: “Anybody else just sense the sleeze here?”
    Totally. Power Corp have just been itching to get their man into the HOC.
    If PMSH and the CPC had a sugar daddy like Paul Desmarais Jr./Power Corp, who’d been pulling the strings of government for over 30 years, the MSM would be exposing it, screaming bloody murder, headlining it every day, and the Canadian public would know within a week what was going on–and would likely say to themselves, “this isn’t right.”
    The Librano$ and MSM have colluded for years to cover up this Granddaddy of Canadian scandals: Power Corp as The Puppet Master of Trudeau, Mulroney, Chretien, and Martin’s Governments.
    Throw in Mo Strong, “like an uncle” to the Rae family, and John Rae, VP of Power Corp, and you’ve got a modern-day soap opera of mammouth proportions.
    How come no one’s telling the story?

  18. Re: Mo Strong is not “like an uncle” to Bob Rae and John Rae of PowerCorp – he IS their uncle. When Rae was Premier of Ontario he put this communist one world government shyster in charge of Ontarion Power and the nuclear industry!!!
    Nepotism and from what Mo Strong has done in collusion with Saddam Husseim in the Oil for Food Scandal, as the architect of the money transfer scam called Kyoto and with multi billion dollar ties to communist China, Cuba, North Korea and Venzuala one might also quite rightly suspect that Maurice Strong is a highly suspect traitor to this country and to democracy.
    I urge everyone to start reading up on this. Here is a good start, scandals that have been covered up by our media because this power cabal can squash any one of them like a bug. It is Bob Rae’s power cabal – and the easily duped and stupified Canadian voter is just the inconvenient pawn to rape this country – again.:
    Try this link_ copy in your friends- this is serious if you care about your country:
    http://www.primetimecrime.com/Articles/RobertRead/Sidewinder%20page%201.htm
    Search and follow the links about Sidewinder – a top secret CSIS report that we stupid Canadians and our pliant media covered up too.
    That’s just the nub of the chinese connections. Search for Chretien’s Chinese connections, Paul Martin’s, PowerCorp, Desmairais et al. These are world wide corruptions and we elect their puppets.
    Terrifying stuff.

  19. So Warren, with so many iPhones and web capabile devices in Canadian’s pockets these days — does anyone (besides WK) care if some liberal thought police try censorship in libraries ??
    I thought to censor, was unliberal ? Guess not.
    I can see why WK feels threatened, looses sleep over sda — daily, Kate inspires tens of thousands of Canadians to ‘think-about-it’.
    Multiply that by hundreds and hundreds of blogs/websites — media-fascism’s days are numbered

  20. Western Standard did an article on Mo Strong before it went defunct…
    http://www.westernstandard.ca/website/article.php?id=1659&start=3
    This is a link to Power Corporation:

    Mo Strong is not, as far as I know, Bob Rae’s uncle but he was such a good friend of the Rae family that the Rae children called him “Uncle Mo.” In an article at the Canada Free Press Web site, July 29, 2002, this is how Maurice Strong’s relationship to Bob Rae is explained: “…Ontario Premier Bob Rae … remembered him as a friend of his father’s and called him ‘Uncle Moe’.”
    http://www.canadafreepress.com/2002/ed72902.htm
    I get the distinct impression that journalists and others are afraid to touch this story with a ten-foot pole. This is an octopus with hundreds of tentacles.

  21. “Mo Strong is not “like an uncle” to Bob Rae and John Rae of PowerCorp – he IS their uncle” — I thought Mo Strong was a close family friend — I don’t actually think he is a blood relative. Be that as it may — the whole Strong/Power Corp. connection is very sinister. I do believe that was the reason we were “donating” money to China for years and years — and, of course, Strong is the instigator behind all those Kyoto money transfers poised to go to China also. It is shocking that many Liberal supports are unaware of this elite oligarchy that via the Liberals will run the country for their own benefit and not for that of Canadians. They are brilliant at manipulation — the Liberal media may choose to ignore this connection as a way of providing tacit support to the Liberals, but more likely even they have been hoodwinked.

  22. lmf and Linda L.: Maurice Strong is a good family friend of the Rae family, specifically, Bob Rae’s father, and apparently the Rae children refer to him as “Uncle Mo.”
    Google Maurice Strong and Bob Rae; there are a number of sites which make this point.

  23. Oh thanks for the info. Close family friend – scary enough. Just like Justin Trudeau and good family friend “Uncle Fidel (Castro)” then?
    So Bob Rae’s father’s good family friend was given the keys to ONtario’s nuclear energy industry when he was Premier and if you read Sidewinder strangely enough the Chinese had direct access to this indistry.
    May I also ask – why has a lot of this been covered up by Canadian media. Strong was fingered for corruption in the United Nations Oil for Food scandal. Headllines were around the world….but not in Canada.
    Strange???????

  25. lmf: “Headllines were around the world….but not in Canada. Strange???????”
    Not if you “get” the connection between the power brokers in Canada, politicians–specifically, Liberal politicians–and the mainstream media: circles within circles.
    One association I find fascinating–and if it was Mulroney’s daughter the MSM would have had a hay day–is that Jean Chretien’s daughter, France, is married to Paul Desmarais Jr. of Power Corp. ‘Not difficult to see, in light of this, why then PM Chretien decided against Canada’s joining the U.S. in the war in Iraq. Power Corp has huge oil and gas holdings in Iraq through PetroGulfFina. War with Iraq would greatly jeopardize the Desmarais/Chretien family fortunes.
    Conflict of interest? Liberal decision made on principle?
    I don’t think so.

  26. Liberal decision not made on principle.
    Conflict of interest? Definitely.
    Where’s Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein when you need them: All the Prime Minister’s Men?

  27. So, does it terrify you that this cabal now has another one of their own , Bob Rae, sitting in the catbird seat? With the CXanadian media literally bowing and undulating and lapping up every word he says to crown him their new supreme ruler?
    What can we do?

  28. Bob at 9:46, I believe the person that you are referring to is Mike Crowley, He is on the board of directors at Bellglobalmedia and took a ‘vacation’ to head up the Ontario liberals during the last federal election. I may have the wrong guy,there probably are more.Of course,this does not in any way suggest that ctv would ever,ever,slant their coverage to favour the liberal party.Ctv and cbc are respectable news organizations and to suggest otherwise would be un-canadian.

  29. Imf asks: “What can we do?” — unfortunately “we” can’t do much. However, I am not sure how solid Bob Rae’s position is in the Liberal party. Some do not like his turn-coat origins, moderates within the party may not be comfortable with his more left-leaning inclinations and background, and Iggy (as well as his substantial base of supporters) will not be especially pleased if Rae assumes the leadership because of what are perceived to be insider connections. I do not think that the deeply rooted divisions within the Liberal party are easily papered over. Dion as leader is only one problem to be overcome. Best to wait and see how it all unfolds.

  30. LindaL – however, the real “defacto leaders” of the Liberal party are , and have been for more than 40 years, Mo Strong, PowerCorp and the desmairais.
    The piddly little grass roots people and voters – bah – they can be bought, bribed, lied to, manipulated, and this same cabal can literally squash like a bug any other politicial party (Harper) that tries to keep them from the keys to our country.
    We stupid Canadian voters are really no match for one of the most powerful cabals of billionaire elites in the backrooms of communist dictatorships and democracies pulling the strinbgs of world leaders all over the world.
    Bob Rae is the annointed one – and “situations” can happen to get rid of any obstacles.
    Right now the Liberals are praying and hoping for bad things to happen to all of us, our families, our jobs, our savings and our financial security so that will give them a chance to bring down the government. They are not ashamed to say they are hoping for a downturn in the economy to blame it on Harper.
    They are connected to people who can make it happen.

  31. Does Mo Strong still have that condo in Ottawa ? The one he bought to be close to PMPM ?

  32. Just a reminder that Mo Strong is also an Honourary Board Member of the David Suzuki Foundation along with:
    Margaret Atwood
    James Burke
    Dr. Paul Ehrlich
    Peter Garrett
    Gordon Lightfoot
    Sting
    Dr. E.O. Wilson
    Sir Edward Goldsmith
    Raffi Cavoukian
    The tentacles of this octopus are many and wide-ranging.
