  3. Is there a connection between school shootings and video games? Jack Thompson thinks so.
    http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2005/02/24/tech/gamecore/main676446.shtml
    “Is there a correlation between playing violent video games and acting in a violent manner?
    Of course. Every parent who is paying attention knows that it is garbage in, garbage out with kids.
    The heads of six major health care organizations testified before Congress that there are “hundreds” of studies that prove the link. All the video game industry has are studies paid for by them, which are geared to find the opposite result. Lawyers call such experts “whores.” ”

  4. PBS’ ‘Carrier’ ends, no bombs dropped. Abandoned-by-carny-parents tough guy sees kid for first time, memorable scene of pilot chasing and being chased by little kid. Pretty good series and engaging.
    Too bad they didn’t show the Phalanx CIWS in action, that’s really cool.

  6. Had a burger with my mom today. She’s fuming (no pun intended) about the anti-smoking rules in BC. Her and the girls down at the bingo hall are ready to overthrow the government. She has no idea how far the 3 meters ban from the door is. Conversion to metric has always been beyond her grasp. I told her to take 4 steps. One of her friends wondered if this was the freedom they fought for in WW II. One thought led to another until we had covered all the wonderful things the nanny state protects us from, everything from mandatory bike helmets to seat belts.

  8. As I’ve said before, more and more draconian anti-smoking laws and regulations seem to be to test the tolerance level of the plebes. It also apparently serves to divide people into two camps and give agenda-driven authoritarian types a ‘for-your-own-good’ pet peeve and sense of power.
    Don’t smoke.

  9. As q sep linked;
    The Economist stole Kate’s ‘Not Waiting For The Astroid’ copyright.
    Holy Cow – how many hits a day do you get from the “Big” Media !?

  10. jack – my mom is a non smoking WWII vet – she was one of the RCA girls in London during the war. Mom says that Hitler had similar laws as Canada in respect to ‘Health freakishness’. Mom says bans like the smoking ban give her the creeps because she says it will only get worse. Hitler did further ‘cleansing’ after he and his thugs discovered that control is a relative thing – if people fall for one regulatory law they will fall for another and another and another. Helmets, HRCs, seat belts, hiring quotas, gun control….
    People smoke in Mom’s apartment, if anyone complains she tells them some war stories – stories about all the young pilots she knew who smoked but died defending Canadian’s right to own Property and for the individual Liberty to be free of government empowered fanatics on their own land.
    Ever wonder why the ‘new’ regulations were forced on to us after most of the WWI and WWII vets had died? Because they would have never put up with it, that’s why!!
    Don’t any Canadians have spines anymore?

  11. StatsCan sets off its own class war
    Guess what, Canadian families are actually getting richer
    Terence Corcoran, National Post
    Canada doesn’t need any political parties to generate economic conflict. We’ve got Statistics Canada. You want class warfare? Here’s what StatsCan said….
    Or how about freshening up the war of the sexes. “The gender gap,” StatsCan calls it…
    Then there’s the immigration hot button…..
    There’s something for everybody here, enough to get anti- and pro-immigrationists running in the hallways of Parliament…..
    …The problem is that StatsCan buried the news…
    ….There, you will see that, contrary to the main spin in StatsCan’s report to the media, in Canada the poor are getting richer…..

  13. McMafia by ex-BBC type, Misha Glenny . . World Organized Crime
    Around their necks they sport chains of bling, so massive they would shame even the most extravagant rapper. The caption reads: *Bulgaria’s nascent capitalist class gathers for its annual general meeting.*
    The words might be ironic, but there is something genuinely disturbing, even mildly terrifying, about the image. It speaks of a sort of ruthless consumption, an appetite for stuff that knows no moral, aesthetic or sensible bounds. You look at it and think:
    **I wouldn’t want to be in the way of what they want.**
    The Russians are the most severely criminal, yet it is world wide.

  16. At least some bloggers are willing to take the Conservatives to task for yet another broken promise, even if the MSM is willing to give them a free pass, again:
    ———————–
    2006: The Conservative Party makes a promise to the people of Canada in order to improve our democracy:
    — “Make all votes in Parliament, except the budget and main estimates, “free votes” for ordinary Members of Parliament.”
    [Source: Page 44 of the 2006 Conservative Party Election Platform (you know, the one Canadians elected them on).]
    2008: The Conservative Party breaks a promise to the people of Canada in order to keep their firm grip on power:
    — “Finance Minister Jim Flaherty is declaring film tax-credit legislation a matter of confidence in the Conservative government, meaning MPs could land on Canadian doorsteps this spring to debate the line between art and pornography.”
    —————————
    I know what you are thinking: but they’ve already broken that promise several times over, starting with making the lame sell-out of softwood lumber deal a confidence motion.
    Yes that is true, but this is clearly and absolutely not a budget or an estimate; it is clearly a social policy issue so this black and white flip flop/broken promise has got to be the last and final nail in the coffin of whatever is left of the conservative zeal for reforming Canada instead of keeping power for its own sake.
    Will the pliant, Conservative pandering media highlight this major flip flop? Not bloody likely.
    And I can hear the whiny excuses from commenters already:
    … but the Liberals stole money!!
    … but its different when the Conservatives do it!!
    … but the world is different now than when they made that promise!!
    … but The Media is a tool of the socialist, lying, corrupt LIEberanos and Chairman Strong!!
    … but conservative incrementalism, conservative incrementalism!!
    … but Sponsorship Scandal Sponsorship Scandal Sponsorship Scandal!!
    … but they really really are all out to get us!!
    Did I miss any of the template excuses?

  17. “Death of Newspapers Puts $42 Billion of Ad Revenue Up For Grabs (Dinosaur Media DeathWatch™)
    How bad are things in the (print) newspaper industry? Don’t ask. After another jarring 3.5% decline over the past six months, print-paper circulation will drop to about 50 million this year–the lowest level since 1946 (62 years ago).
    That’s during a period in which the US population has doubled, meaning that per-capita newspaper consumption has been cut in half. For more on this horrorshow, read the latest from the Dean of Newspaper Demise, Alan D. Mutter, at Newsosaur. Just don’t do it if you’ve got friends or family (or money) in the industry.
    If your career, portfolio, or fortune isn’t tied to the newspaper business, however, rejoice. The newspaper industry’s loss is your gain!
    In ten years, print-paper circulation and ad revenue will likely be a quarter of what it is today, if that.
    Why? Because:” […]
    “So if you’re in the digital advertising business, that’s good news. $3 billion a year of incremental ad revenue flowing toward you, without you even getting off your bum. Now all you have to do is fight like hell with all the other folks who have seen the future and want a piece of it.”

  19. Jack and Jema54, I will vigorously support a person’s right to smoke IF they support MY right NOT to be exposed to second-hand smoke AND agree to pay out of their own pockets for any smoking-related health care requirements, okay?
    Then, I’ll be there with you in solidarity.
    In the same vein, I also support:
    – the right for people to own and use guns…as long as they don’t shoot other people or use it for criminal gain; and
    – the right for people NOT to wear helmets or seatbelts…as long as they pay for their own health care after an accident.
    I’ll gladly and vigorously defend FREEDOM if those exercising FREEDOM will accept RESPONSIBILITY for their actions.

  20. Damn it Vitruvius! You are probably, without a doubt, the most intelligent commentator on this site, but can you please try and find something from this century?Arghh!!!!

  21. Not sure how many commenters here are from La L’otario, but WRT ‘The Bans’ we have Mcguinty and King Miller on a banning spree…while Ontario goes down the tubes, and Natives illegally disrupt towns.If they focus on the small stuff media will give them a free ride on reality. We have the ban on types of dogs,and even a ban on handguns in Toronto this week…what a joke!I’m a non smoker but I am not comfortable with the ban on smoking in cars with kids…too much Nanny state interference.
    Good points about the WW vets.

    Good for her.
    Maybe it’s time for Germany to use the same media tactics to get Karlheinz Schreiber to hell out of Canada, to Germany, where he belongs.

  28. WRT to poor little Brenda, another online poll going horribly wrong….
    65% for serving the full five years……. ROFL!

  29. Come on Mike, you aren’t really surprised that TallyJack supports those that are opposed to free speech are you?

  30. Katrina was mentioned a few post up, just watched a clip on cnn about Greensburg, (sp) Kansas, and how that city has rebuilt after the tornado damage last year. Most of the damage has been cleaned up, several new bldgs and businesses back up and running. The people of Kansas did it, the residents of the city did it. I am sure they had some govt help, but they got off their butts and did it. N.O. is still waiting for someone to fix their problems.

  31. Yes JM – and also in the Stats. Can survey is that Canada is becoming more and more fractured along an immigration fault line.
    If we don’t wake up – Canada will become like the UK which has virtually turned everything over to the PC police:
    We’re living in a land of ghettoes ‘bedevilled’ by political correctness, warns PD James
    By REBECCA CAMBER (in today’s Daily Mail)
    Crime author PD James says there is an increasing risk of Britons living in ghettos with little outside contact
    Britons are living in segregated ghettos in a culture bedevilled by political correctness, novelist PD James warned yesterday.
    The celebrated crime author and peer described the country as a fractured society where communities were living in isolation.
    In a speech on policing in the 21st century, Baroness James, who is a former senior civil servant in the criminal policy department of the Home Office, said, “Our society is now more fractured than I in my long life than I have ever known it.
    “Increasingly there is a risk that we live in ghettos with our own kind, with a strong commitment to our local community but little contact with those outside it. Mutual respect and understanding and recognition of our common humanity cannot be nurtured in isolation.
    “And in our relationships we are bedevilled by the cult of political correctness.”
    The award-winning author also told her packed audience in the Palace of Westminster: “If in speaking to minorities we have to weigh every word in advance in case inadvertently we give offence, how can we be at ease with each other, how celebrate our common humanity, our shared anxieties and aspirations, both for ourselves and for those whom we love?”
    She said it would be unfortunate if the police became ‘enamoured’ of political correctness, which she described as ‘a pernicious, if risible authoritarian attempt at linguistic and social control’.
    Modern police were also hampered by a ‘culture of blame’ and red tape, the peer added.
    “There is little point in government promising money to recruit extra policeman if they are to spend their time in filling in forms,’ she said.
    “It sometimes seems that we have an army of well-paid unproductive officials whose only task is to interfere with those who have a proper job to do.
    “Perhaps the time has come when we need to look at the whole structure-of our police service to see how far it meets the challenges of our changing society.”
    Minor ‘tinkering’ to the structure could be ‘more irritating than effective’, she warned.
    But she added that the police deserve ‘our respect and gratitude’ for a ‘complex and demanding’ job.
    Baroness James, 87, is best known for creating fictional detective Adam Dalgliesh. Her 19 novels, including the futuristic Children Of God, have sold in their millions.
    She is a former governor of the BBC and has had a seat in the House of Lords since early 1991.
    She has also been a London magistrate and a chairman of the British Council and chairman of the Society of Authors”.

  33. At the some of the bloggers (whatdoiknowgrit.blogspot.com/2008/05/another-broken-harper-promise.html) are calling the Conservatives on their ever lengthening list of flip flops and broken promises, even if the MSM is willing to give them a free pass, yet again.

  34. National Post – Friday – has a neat editorial re the HRC issue.
    It seems that Mark Steyn will be on with Mike Duffy- Friday/5P.M EST
    How pathetic and sad it is that our national MSM is not supporting the efforts of the National Post/Macleans/Steyn in their dealings with the HRC to expose all that is significantly wrong with HRCs, federally and provincially.
    At stake is where our freedom of speech/writing is likely to go in the future – and it is not looking at all good.
    At stake is the future ability of the MSM to report openly and honestly on significant issues that they are now ignoring because of fear of being sued. Yet, they maintain their silence.
    At stake is the credibility of politicians, both federally and provincially. The upcoming BCHRT hearing in June may come and go without so much as a murmur within the MSM and/or the politicians – by the time, it may well be to late.
    This while they (MSM) and even our politicians have have been dwelling on such things, and continue to dwell on such things, as Brenda Martin, the Syncrude Ducks, etc., etc. At stake here is exactly what?
    O.K. – Brenda Martin is now on Canadian soil. At stake here is someone who was convicted of something akin to money laundering, and what do we really know about her guilt/innocence anyway. Probably it is politically incorrect to voice such thoughts at this stage in the game.
    She returns with the apparent application of 2x the time served in jail and a “paper” formality to have her back on the street. I hope she will be a bit more thankful than those many citizens-of-convenience that were brought back from Lebanon a while ago. She hasn’t really exuded a whole of thanks thus far and who knows – maybe she will sue the gov’t like some other multi-millionaires have done recently.
    Some of the perks – a gov’t chartered jet ride home – first it was taxpayers “footed” the $3500 fine which has now become “loaned” the $3500 and what is next – “granted” the 3500? Not to mention the expenses involved with sending dignitaries/representatives to Mexico over the past months. Jason Kenny’s time could have been much better spent addressing the HRC issues.
    According to the MSM, Brenda and the Ducks are the most significant issues to be reporting on these days. Pathetic, sad, and sickening.
    Rather than Martin’s name in the press, we should be seeing a whole lot more of the name Richard Warman and his civil litigation against five internet bloggers in a blatant attempt to shut down freedom of speech/thought/writing.

  35. It seems that Mark Steyn will be on with Mike Duffy – 5 p.m. Eastern time.

    http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20080502.wbritelections0502/BNStory/International
    LONDON — Britain’s ruling Labour Party slumped to its worst local election defeat in 40 years on Friday, dealing a bitter blow to Prime Minister Gordon Brown in his first test at the polls since taking over from Tony Blair.
    Buffeted by global economic turmoil, bedevilled by party in-fighting, he now faces an uphill climb against the resurgent Conservatives in the next parliamentary elections due in 2010.
    “If the economic crisis continues through 2010, Brown’s dead in the water,” MORI pollster Robert Worcester told Reuters.
    With two-thirds of the results counted from local councils in England and Wales, BBC predictions put the Conservatives on 44 per cent and Labour on an ignominious 24 per cent, one point behind the centrist Liberal Democrats.

    When the Nazis stormed the apartment in Vienna, he was gone.
    The man they were looking for was Ludwig von Mises, an economist whose writings enraged them.
    Fortunately for von Mises, he was out of Austria in March 1938. The Nazis had to settle for grabbing 38 cases of his books and papers.
    Von Mises had plenty of enemies. His work dismissed Nazi ideas as nonsense, described socialism as incapable of rational calculation and faulted the dominant German historical school as fostering little more than clerks of the state.”

    “Liberty is not, as the German precursors of Nazism asserted, a negative
    ideal. Whether a concept is presented in an affirmative or in a negative form
    is merely a question of idiom. Freedom from want is tantamount to the
    expression striving after a state of affairs under which people are better
    supplied with necessities. Freedom of speech is tantamount to a state of
    affairs under which everybody can say what he wants to say.”

    Yeah Ted – alot of conservatives did. I don’t like lies, a 19% increase in spending, an increase in social conservatism, and a general abandonment of non-social conservative principles, simply for the quest of power.
    I think you’ve stated why the Libranos aren’t doing well, but you might have missed their leader too – Borat ain’t going anywhere.
    At any rate – I suspect Canadians have a good handle on this – that a return to the Libranos would be a far, far darker day than having a tarnished, promise breaking crew of trained seals marched around by the party braintrust.
    I find the Cons to be a lying bunch of lapdogs.
    But, Canadians also find that preferable to a deeply corrupted bunch of Libranos.
    It’s all relative.

  40. (Via Brookings) Col. Thomas Lynch, Afghan Dilemmas: “Staying Power”
    In mid-January, Defense Secretary Robert Gates approved an order to send an additional 3,000 U.S. marines into Afghanistan in anticipation of the now annual Taliban spring offensive. It was the right thing to do, but such a temporary force increase falls far short of what is needed. U.S. military policy is still stumbling toward failure in Afghanistan—a failure that will likely have dire consequences beyond South Asia. Let’s be clear: The mission in Afghanistan is not in jeopardy mainly because NATO members refuse to provide sufficient troops or appropriate engagement protocols for the International Security and Assistance Force (ISAF). Neither is the mission in jeopardy because of any deficiency inherent in U.S. or Coalition counterinsurgency doctrine. The problem goes deeper, into the underlying political context of Coalition military operations. The real issue is the transitory and uncertain U.S. military posture in Afghanistan (and, by implication, across South Asia), which undermines the necessary link between relevant military security operations and positive political consequences.

    Ideology matters again. The big development of recent years is the rise not only of great powers but also of the great-power autocracies of Russia and China. True realism about the international scene begins with understanding how this unanticipated shift will shape our world.

  44. Ted, you’re really losing it. You used to make decent arguments, whether or not one agreed with them. To regain your balance I suggest you list Liberal “flip-flops” for everyone. I suggest you paste a word document or something, or your list will tie up the web site. For further precision, I suggest you use four categories:
    – outright theft from taxpayers
    – outright lies
    – outright waste of taxpayers’ dollars (HRDC, $1billion NOT to buy helicopters
    – vendettas against anyone daring to stand up to them.
    When you are done this list let us know. With solid research and organization, it should only take you about 3 months to a year. Now get to work.
    Yes, Ted, that was in the past, but it’s still important. After all we are still paying back the debt Trudeau’s administrations left us.
    Then you can make a similar list for Dion Grits; though, it only needs one category: abstained, afraid to face Tories in election.

  45. I’m really impressed with Ted.
    He’s the only guy here that can carry on a complete coversation with himself, supplying both questions and answers.
    Which is ok Ted if you are over 50, but otherwise see a doctor.

  48. dj: I guess you are one that will have no problems supporting the thought control police agency. To bad that you can lump all smokers as losers, guess it takes a loser to know one. The new laws in BC are getting bloody stupid! Do you not think that there are way more important issues that the governments should be dealing with? How about Bountiful BC??? OR safe injections sites??? This coming from a premier that broke the law in Hawaii, drunk driving. Do as I say not as I do. Yes, I am a smoker, my problem, but I always respect other people and I have no problems walking outside away from non smokers. To bad there wasn’t a little respect shown back. (AND I put my butts in the garbage!) Back at you loser.

  49. As a recently quit smoker (hey a week in ICU is as good a time as any to quit!!LOL) I can see both sides of the arguement…….
    Nah, people like eeyore are still bloody annoying.
    Tell ya what eeyore, let smokers pay for their health care via the taxes on smokes. Oh wait, they already do pay for all the health costs incured by smoking plus an additional 30% or so per pack toward the health care of the annoying people like eeyore.
    Can I get a rebate please? I figure 13 or 14 thousand ought to cover it.
