  1. Good evening ladies and gentlemen, welcome to SDA Late Nite Radio. Tonight for your delectation we have a classic bit of big-band swing; here’s Mr. Harry James and his band, with Mr. Buddy Rich on drums, performing Don’t Be That Way, in 1965.

  2. How much did taxpayers of British Columbia and Quebec pay for this?
    How many know they did?
    And how many more groups like this one are we paying?

    “Climate Project-Canada has invited former U.S. vice-president Al Gore to Montreal next month to train 200 Canadians to deliver his “Inconvenient Truth” presentation on global warming …”
    “…Hoggan, who created a climate change website, desmogblog.com, that also has its share of critics, said the event was partly sponsored by the Quebec and B.C. governments, and he urged other jurisdictions to join efforts to educate Canadians about what is at stake, as well as possible solutions.”

  3. Dion uses horrible judgment in this round of by elections.
    Obama used bad judgment when sold his white grandmother down the river to appease his racist Negro supporters.
    Dion sold his grandmother down the river to appease his friend Elizabeth May.
    I believe Dion’s grandmother was a green woman in fact I head she was a Frog.

  4. Chinese Communist Party official website provides more accurate and complete coverage of Tibet uprising than Canadian newspapers provide of Caledonia uprising:
    english.peopledaily.com.cn/
    Proving once again that Communist China is, statistically and measurably, more free than Canada. It is Communist China that should be boycotting Liberal Canada, not the other way around.

  5. A few comments to start the day:
    1. Speaking of Caledonia, the number of drive-thru smoke shacks on the Deseronto reserve have increased again(I drove through there yesterday). As well, they have started construction of a new cigarette factory(nice to see chimpy mcliar is getting a handle on this). Considering that over half of the smokes sold in Ontario are contraband, you would think the useless libs would do SOMETHING about it.
    2. More plant closures in eastern Ontario. Brockville is the latest victim, and there seems to be no end in sight. It is nice to know that dalton mcuseless is putting his energy into studying polar bears, or hiring AGW police to harass his own gov’t agencies. Talk about a useless piece of s@#$!

  6. Read Halls of Macedania-Hades,-grandfather- for some real truth re global warming and melting ice.

  7. What is going on with pathologists, first the one in Ontario, who put parents in jail and now we have one who has killed several women via wrong diagnosis.

  8. In case any of us thought we were being too hard on MSM, thinking maybe it seemed biased toward the Libs yesterday, Joel at PTBC has an analysis of yesterdays ‘news’.

  10. CSP Decision Brief, The New Dhimmi Times
    Totalitarians have an uncanny appreciation for the subversive effect of foreign propagandists. The Nazis had Lord Haw-Haw, Imperial Japan its Tokyo Rose, the Soviets the World Council of Churches (among many others) and the North Vietnamese Jane Fonda. Now, our time’s totalitarian ideologues – the Islamofascists – have the New York Times…
    The New York Times marked a deplorable new milestone this weekend, however – a true nadir in collaborating with the enemy in the War of Ideas. Its Sunday magazine featured an article by Harvard law professor Noah Feldman entitled “Why Shariah? Millions of Muslims think Shariah means the rule of law. Could they be right?” According to the Times’ Mr. Feldman, the answer is a resounding “Yes.”

  11. Both slithering and dithering:
    Dean Barnett, Obama the Ditherer
    THE QUESTION of the day is how Obama fared with his major address… For the twin purposes of brevity and avoiding arguing over meaningless topics, I’ll stipulate that Obama gave a lovely statement on racial matters.
    In doing so, Obama brilliantly answered a question that virtually no one is asking. With the country’s attitude floating somewhere between grave concern and panic over the economy, Barack Obama has positioned himself as the candidate of racial reconciliation. With the body politic bitterly divided over the war in Iraq, Barack Obama has adopted racial reconciliation as his signature issue…

  13. BOB MACKIE WILL CONTINUE TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT!
    “Justice for Bob MacKie Day”
    On March 21, “Good Friday”, Bob MacKie will host an archery tournament of celebration at Mackie’s Mountain Archery, 3922 Zimmerman Rd., Beamsville from 9am – 5pm. that will be a fund raiser for the “Brain Injury Community Re-Entry Program” Bob is celebrating the indefinite continuation of his archery training business despite the Niagara Escarpment Commission’s ruling against his business.
    The Niagara Escarpment Commission voted “NO” to allowing Bob MacKie to continue to operate his archery training business on November 15, 2007. The NEC said that “archery” was not mentioned in their Official Plan as an allowed use on “agricultural land”. They gave him 120 days to “STOP” doing archery. March 19th was the 120th day and Bob intends to carry on with archery training.
    He has the full support of the Ontario Landowners Association and its members from across Ontario. Bob’s archery training is a much appreciated service that his community supports. The OLA will be declaring that “archery is a permitted use of agricultural land in the Niagara Region”. The law of “natural justice” determines that what Bob is doing “is right”!
    1.00 P.M. there will be speeches from members of the community and the Ontario Landowners Association in support of Bob MacKie.

  14. bobsuruncle: “In case you haven’t seen it, c/o Celestial Junk, a wonderful article on global warming hoax.” — Yes, good article. Response of the warmists and MSM: “nah, nah, nah, nah — we can’t hear you.” There are many, many thoughtful and informative critiques that challange the theory of AGW. I also agree that it is spooky how whole nations have climbed on board the hysteria (as noted in the editor’s introduction to the article). The problem is no one is paying attention to the truth. They are too caught up in their own rhetoric and emotional fury. Not much to be done, I am afraid, if people refuse to become enlighted or even exercise a modicum of objectivity. Goodness knows how future generations will view all of this as they struggle with the new ice age.

  15. Caroline Glick, The Quality of Obama’s Character
    …Obama’s speech about race and his pastor Jeremiah White… was an excellent speech as far as it goes. But it left me feeling very uneasy about the quality of Obama’s character…
    In twenty years of attending Wright’s church, why didn’t Obama once stand before his fellow church members and tell them that they mustn’t hate their country and their fellow Americans?
    The fact that he didn’t, and the fact that he upheld this man until just a few months ago as his spiritual mentor and still refuses to condemn him and his deeply flawed character tells me everything I need to know about Barack Obama. I think that he is an opportunistic, weak man. I hope and pray that he doesn’t become President.

    Ms. Brown said she spoke to the Whip’s Office of her decision, and she didn’t think any discipline would be taken against members who were not present for the vote.
    “I think the main thing is the position of the leader prevailed,” said Ms. Brown. “Only Bill Matthews stood up and voted against, so the main thing in partisan politics is you don’t embarrass the leader or show a split in the party, and by abstaining you accomplish both those things. You’re just absent.””

  17. Although Canada’s favorite Nazi stalker has all but jumped the shark as of late, I can’t help but be reminded of the following story from yesteryear when Mort ‘the mouth’ Downey Jr. was also frequenting mens rooms. Perhaps Downey has a love child, turned layer, turned liberal fart catcher, turned punk rocker, turned wide stancing washroom photographer, turned obscure Canadian blogosphere footnote….Read on:
    The police think Morton Downey Jr. is making up the story about being attacked by three “skinheads” in a rest room at the San Francisco International Airport.
    The loudmouthed TV talk show host told airport police the right-wing thugs pounced on him, cut out a clump of his hair and painted swastikas on his face, shirt and pants.
    Airport authorities found a pair of scissors and a felt-tip marker pen in a toilet bowl, but officers said an unidentified witness told them the claim was phony.
    “Our preliminary investigation shows that this was self-inflicted for whatever reason we don’t know,” airport spokesman Ron Wilson said.
    “We can only assume it was for publicity.

  18. Abbas Goes on the Warpath, Tries to Steal the Show from Hamas
    The Palestinian leader has circulated guidelines for three million Palestinians to leave their homes on the West Bank, Gaza, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon on May 14 and march on Israel’s borders, including the Green Line. The march is to take place a week after Israel’s Independence Day on May 8, 2008. If Israel obstructs their passage, they will strike camp and live in tents until Israel surrenders and lets them through.
    This stunt will be accompanied by pressure from the Palestinian Authority on international organizations to force Israel to implement UN Resolution 194, passed by the General Assembly on Dec. 11, 1948…

    Just as Sen. Barack Obama sought to distance himself from controversial racial remarks made by his pastor, an anti-American government, anti-white and virulently anti-Semitic black supremacist party
    has endorsed the presidential candidate on Obama’s own website.
    “Obama will stir the ‘Melting Pot’ into a better ‘Molten America,'” states an endorsement from the New Black Panther Party, or NBPP, which is a registered team member and blogger on Obama’s “MyObama” campaign website.

  21. Obama’s Racist Church and it’s poisoned “Afrocentric” hate:
    http://article.nationalreview.com/print/?q=NjZkMmI1ODIwZTgxMWQzZDg3YTM4ODk0ZTEzMjhhOWQ=
    “Afrocentrism is no more a reflection of authentic African culture than white supremacy is of American culture. Nor is Afrocentrism merely about black pride — though Afrocentric “scholars” do frequently claim that Moses, Jesus, Cicero, Cleopatra, and a host of other luminaries were black.
    At its heart, Afrocentrism is based on a profoundly anti-white and paranoid ideology. First, it asserts that the entire foundation of Western Civilization was stolen by the Greeks from Egypt, which, Afrocentrics claim, was ruled by ancient blacks. Second, it claims that whites are deeply inferior. Afrocentric texts often describe whites as “ice people,” whose defective melanin, or skin pigmentation, makes them susceptible to a host of mental and physical deficiencies, including sexual deviancy. And, finally, Afrocentrism encourages blacks to fear whites.”

    Mar 19, 2008 04:30 AM
    OTTAWA–If the city of Toronto could determine the outcome of the next federal election, Liberal Leader Stéphane Dion would be prime minister before Canada Day. But it cannot and what the tea leaves of Monday’s four federal by-elections really suggest is that a majority Conservative government could be around the corner of a spring campaign.

  24. Via Tim Blair:
    http://environmentalrepublican.blogspot.com/2008/03/global-warmingists-perplexed.html
    Check out how this little bit of anti-global warming science is spun:
    ————————————————
    Some 3,000 scientific robots that are plying the ocean have sent home a puzzling message. These diving instruments suggest that the oceans have not warmed up at all over the past four or five years. That could mean global warming has taken a breather. Or it could mean scientists aren’t quite understanding what their robots are telling them.
    ————————————————
    Got that? The message is “puzzling” because it gives them data that doesn’t support their collective global warming theories. Either global warming has taken a “breather” or the scientists are just too damn stupid to figure out how to make the data more conducive to NPR reporting about the escalation of global warming.

  28. I almost threw up when I saw Seamus interviewing the mother of Brenda Martin on Canada AM this morning. I flip on the TV and there she is wailing “Don’t use my daughter as a photo-op, Mr. Harper”
    Then I read this article:
    http://www.canada.com/topics/news/story.html?id=141501b9-3f3f-4ca7-8fbb-c53fb50d536c&k=41856
    Excerpt:
    A trip by two Conservative MPs to Mexico to visit a Canadian woman who’s been imprisoned without trial for two years is being slammed by her supporters as manipulative and cynical political grandstanding.
    “This is absolutely disgusting,” said Deb Tieleman, a childhood friend of Brenda Martin who has led the campaign to win the release of the 51-year-old Trenton, Ont., native.
    “You would have thought that the Conservative government would have the common decency and empathy not to send them down there for a photo opportunity.”

    Martin’s mother, Marjorie Bletcher, said that had Norlock called her before he went on the trip, she would have told him not to go because Brenda Martin does not want to see him.
    So apparently, the prisoner, and her mother don’t want the Canadian government to interfere, or get involved, because they are concerned it might be a photo op.
    Let her rot I say. If you are more concerned that this might be a photo-op than a legitimate attempt to get her out of jail, then just let her rot. Obviously nothing the government will do is good enough for you.
    For some reason though, I think that a Canadian imprisoned in Mexico wouldn’t tell an MP that they shouldn’t visit because they thought they MP was just trying to get press. After all, 90% of international diplomacy is public opinion, and media coverage of your situation will do just as much to influence opposing parties as the backroom negotiations.
    Watching the interview, I got the idea that someone had convinced the mother that Harper was doing all this as a photo-op, and she should tell him off…then when she broke down on air they looked embarrassed. I would not be surprised.
    I blocked CTV from my cable box right after the interview.

  29. mecheng — Yeah — I did not see the CTV thing, but was quite puzzled by an article in the Citizen where one of Brenda Martin’s supporters said essentially the same thing — totally weird and counter productive. Funny . . . I did not see any of this same commentary when Paul Martin was visiting. Well — watch for Brenda Martin’s mother to be a Liberal candidate in the next election. Seriously, though, it does seem to me that she is being seriously manipulated and taken advantage of for someones (?) political gain. I (for one) haven’t seen any photos of the Canadian reps (Kenny and the other guy) — not much of a photo op — and when I first saw that Kenny was going I thought — finally someone will do something. Why would Brenda Martin supporters (or even Liberal supporters) want to sabatage this?

  30. Canada.com published poll results that say 4 out of 5 people surveyed said they knew what was causing global warming, yet “strangely” only 38% could “correctly” identify that it was the result of carbon dioxide produced by human activities.
    Hmmmm…maybe they are looking at those results the wrong way around. Maybe they should have concluded that the majority of people surveyed CORRECTLY realized that carbon dioxide ISN’T the cause of global warming…but instead its the fault of that great glowing ball of fire in the sky.

  33. A headline in the National Post (online) today says “2008 Shaping up to be one of the warmest years on record”. But if you actually read the story, it says “So far 2008, for the globe, has been quite cold, only just above the 1961-90 average”. So 2008 has, so far, been quite cold, but the UN is predicting that 2008 will be one of the warmest on record. Of course they are. “It is too warming!” We’re surrounded by AGW spin.
