  1. Kate: I checked out the complaints with regards to the Feds’ Services Canada public computers blocking this site and other political blogs. It’s true! Sometimes a pop-up blocks SDA completely, other times the pop-up issues a “hate and violence warning.” I’m not a computer expert, however I fail to see the danger of this site as compared to say, the Liberal Party of Canada’s official web-site. (Just kidding guys!!)

  3. More on Maurice Strong – Bob Rae’s “Uncle” Mo:
    Monday, December 2, 2002
    Kyoto Protocol compiled by un-elected global bureaucrats
    Ezra Levant
    THE Kyoto Protocol was the work of thousands of bureaucrats, diplomats and politicians. But no one person is more responsible for it than a Canadian named Maurice Strong.
    Strong organized the UN first-world environmental summit in Stockholm in 1972 and has never stopped pressing for a world where UN resolutions would be enforced as law all over the Earth.
    Strong went on to chair the 1992 UN Conference on Environment and Development in Rio and to become senior adviser to Kofi Annan, the UN’s secretary general. Not bad for a kid from Oak Lake, Manitoba, who dropped out of school at age 14.
    But Strong is different than other social butterflies who flit from one UN conference to the next. He is a powerful businessman, who has served as president of such massive energy companies as Petro-Canada and Ontario Hydro, and on the board of industrial giant Toyota.
    He is a huge political donor, not just here in Canada, but to both the Republican and Democratic parties in the U.S. as well.
    At age 29, he became president of Power Corporation, fusing his destiny to Canada’s wealthiest and most influential families – including Paul Martin Sr. and Jr., now heir apparent to the prime minister.

    Strong hired Paul Jr. to work for him during a vacation from university. “We controlled many companies, controlled political budgets,” Strong said of his time at Power Corporation. “Politicians got to know you and you them.”
    Strong hired Martin into Power Corporation’s executive suite. He helped guide Martin towards unimaginable personal wealth – and even predicted Martin’s path to becoming prime minister. But Strong’s influence reaches farther than Canada.

  4. The US based Fox News had no qualms reporting about what they call the “murky” career of Maurice Strong – but why does our Canadian media keep us in the dark about a Canadian who is purported to be one of the shadiest characters in the world of international scams and fraud:

  5. Agreed, lmf, once you begin to untangle the web of power entanglements and circles within circles Maurice Strong is involved in/connected to, on a national and international level, it’s difficult to accept the fact that most Canadians don’t even know who he IS.
    And, then it’s difficult to comprehend how most of the Canadian media have given Maurice Strong/ Power Corp/Demarais’ influence on a great many Canadian Prime Ministers (Trudeau, Mulroney, Chretien, Martin) a pass. They’ve also given Bob Rae’s connection to Power Corp (through Uncle Mo, Bob’s brother, John Rae, who is a VP, and ex-PMs Chretien and Martin) a very wide berth–so wide, in fact, that no one, to my knowledge, is mentioning it.
    You’ll notice that Conrad Black (The National Post) and Ted Byfield and Ezra Levant (Alberta Report, Western Standard) did not give this connection a pass and you’ll also notice that their newspaper/magazines are either defunct or sold.
    If the CPC or Prime Minister Stephen Harper were connected to a multibillion-dollar corporation whose power brokers were intimately involved with key political players in the HOC, all Hell would break loose. There wouldn’t be a television station, program, or commentator that wouldn’t be all over the story. And the CPC would be bludgeoned–rightly–by the onslaught of media interest and commentary. The negative fallout would be cataclysmic.
    With the same scenario playing itself out, only it’s the Librano$ not the CPC, what’s the media response? Not a word. Not one word.
    The amazing thing is, that there’s all sorts of information on Mo Strong, Power Corp, and the Desmarais family’s mega holdings AND their connections to Liberal politicians on the Internet. It’s not like it would be difficult to do an investigative story on this connection.
    So, why isn’t someone doing it? ‘Makes you wonder…

  6. Eeyore — I can’t believe that Canada.com could publish something so silly as their comment on the poll you describe (well, yes I can) . . . do you have a link?

  7. Re: Maurice Strong.
    Peter Foster, National Post, has written extensively on Mao Stlong. His reports are buried in the Financial Post business section of the NP.
    Foster’s report below is found at
    http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2004/may/04051409.html
    with a link given to National Post. The link to National Post gives this: “Sorry, this article is no longer available.”.

    “”Beneath all the boilerplate about compassion and shared visions lies the fact that Mr. Strong wants nothing less than a destruction of the Western way of life,” Foster concludes.”

  8. Thanks for that link, maz2:
    Yeah, an investigative piece on Mo Strong in the Financial Post business section, widley read by Canadians!
    I notice that the date on the link you provide is 2004: four years ago.
    Now, that we have Bob Rae, in 2008, intimatley connected with Mo Strong, elected to the HOC, quite likely to become the next Liberal leader with the LPoC’s hope that he will be Canada’s next Prime Minister, it would be helpful for articles to be written about these dubious connectioins in places more prominent than the business section.
    I can’t see it happening. And I’m wondering why not. What’s our problem?

  9. My next question is, What the heck is going on with the media vis a vis the Brenda Martin case?
    They’re gunning for Jason Kenney, Prime Minister Stephen Harper, and the CPC: If they don’t break Brenda Martin out of the Mexican jail she’s in and bring her back home, they’re not doing their job, according to Lisa Laflamme and Brenda Martin’s best friend, who has been interviewed ad nauseum for the past few days.
    As PMSH pointed out, on another piece on CPAC, if the Mexican President called him about a Mexican citizen in a Canadian jail, PMSH would have no jurisdiction to interfere with the Canadian judiciary.
    I smell a rat here, as the media seem to want to back Kenney, PMSH, and their party into a corner on this issue.
    Why has this become a cause celebre in our media? I think I already know the answer.

    Vandals strike again
    Montreal police call it their number-one priority right now.
    They’re trying to track down vandals responsible for a series of crimes over the past week.
    The most recent case involved the slashing of more than 40 tires in new and used cars behind the Delisle Mazda dealership on Sherbrooke St. E late Monday or early Tuesday.
    A group calling itself Collective ton chien claimed responsibility on an anarchist website and in some media communiques.
    It claimed inspiration from two other actions — last Friday morning’s torching of six police cars behind station 23 in the same district as well as fires in three National Bank ATM machines on the weekend.
    Groups called Collective ton pere and Collective ton oncle claimed responsibility for those.

    “Terror financing suspect a ‘very nice guy’
    Stewart Bell, Canwest News Service
    TORONTO – Bespectacled and balding, with a salt-and-pepper beard, Prapa Thambithurai seems an unlikely candidate to become the first person charged under a Canadian law banning terrorist financing.
    A 44-year-old father of three, he immigrated from Sri Lankan two decades ago, studied accounting, installs satellite dishes and lives in the suburbs north of Toronto not far from the Canada’s Wonderland theme park.

    “Suicide Killings – An Overview
    […]
    The first high profile suicide bomb attack killing by the LTTE was that of the Sri Lankan Defence Minister, Ranjan Wijeratne, in Colombo by a car-borne attacker, on March 2, 1991; 19 others, too, were killed in the explosion. A LTTE woman suicide bomber, Dhanu, assassinated former Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, who was all set to become Prime Minister once again, at an election rally in Sriperambadur, southern India, on May 21, 1991. Several months later, the Chief of the Sri Lankan Navy, Clancey Fernando, fell to a suicide bomb attack, in Colombo, on November 16, 1992. Another top armed forces officer to have been eliminated by a Tiger human bomb was a Brigadier in the army, Ananda Hamangoda, who was posthumously promoted to the rank of a Major General.
    The top-most Sri Lankan political leader to have been assassinated, and that too, in a suicide bomb attack, was Ranasinghe Premadasa, President of the country at the time of his death. Premadasa fell to his bicycle-riding suicide assassin at a May Day rally in Colombo, in 1993.”

  13. Talked to one of my sources tonight; there was at least one ‘irregularity’ in the Vancouver-Quadra vote that the CPC is looking into.
    Meredith did indeed make up votes to the tune of 697-200 over the lib candidate off those votes which were cast directly at Elections Canada. That answers my question of the other day concerning the final two polling stations. V-Q has many residents who vacation in Palm Springs and they were encouraged to vote as soon as the byelection was called.
    Stay tuned.

    The Power Tool market is experiencing a revolution due to the introduction of the usage of Lithium-ion cell. Because of its lightweight and high energy density, the advantages of using Lithium-ion cell on cordless power tools are evident (longer run time, lighter weight, and more design flexibility).. The IMR series of cells produced by E-One Moli Energy include all the above advantages along with – high temperature operation, low impedance, high discharge current stability, 3.7V~ 3.8V functional with Lithium-ion manganese material.
    In 2006, E-One Moli Energy ranked second in the world in terms of sales revenues for the power tool Lithium-ion manganese oxide (spinel) cell. In 2007, estimated annual sales for power tool Lithium-ion manganese oxide (spinel) cells will reach 1.35 million units, thanks to orders from world class power tool makers, gardening tool makers and air-pressure tool makers. E-One Moli Energy is also riding the fast wave by forming strategic alliances with branding and manufacturing partners to seek opportunities globally and maintaining a leading position.
    Aside from the mass production capability for power tools industry, E-One Moli Energy has recently developed series IMR-26700 high power cell. This high-end product line is used by the US Military and has received high creditation for its performance and reliability in military radio systems, military computers and rugged flashlights.
