  2. I don’t know if this has been posted earlier,if so my apologies. Yesterday,in the House of Commons,the high priestess of the NDP party,Libby Davies,removed all doubt that the dippers are totally out of touch with reality.They have jumped the shark,plunged off the cliff,and proven to all but the most delusional,that they are to be ridiculed and scorned at every opportunity. Ms. Davies,presented a petition calling on Canada to ask the U.S. to re-open the 9/11 investigation. Yep,it was an inside job,please stop blaming radical islam. I will be sending her some tin foil.

    “Canada, home to the world’s second- biggest crude oil reserves, may consider setting up a sovereign wealth fund to invest windfalls from record energy prices, Finance Minister Jim Flaherty said.”
    So when they are the world’s biggest ‘polluter’ of CO2 emissions they are called tar-sands and it’s in Alberta. But when they are the world’s 2nd biggest oil reserves and hold the possibility of being a sovereign wealth fund they are Canada’s.
    Hope I got that straight.

  6. And today Wally it was eraser-heads turn to throw mud. As this sad excuse for a man whined about Julie Powerhooters, yea thats what it is all about, if this woman looked like Libby Davis or Ann Mclellan the stinking fiberals wouldn’t be bothering wasting expensive house of commons time, but with those looks and that rack well when your a liberal that never gets lucky you live vicariously. If all these theiving liberals can muster up is phoney scandal after another why don’t they defeat this govt.. As these sanctimonious jerks wail about trust we all remember the brown envelopes and meetings in certian restaurants in MOntreal, what asses liberal voters really are.

  7. Good news from Connie at Free Dominion – her lawyer was notified that M. Korngold-Wexler has withdrawn herself as a mediator. Apparently says no connection between her and XXXXX but she is withdrawing nevertheless. Right. We will take it any way it is served – bottom line, she is out of the picture. On with the meaning of deadlines (or not).
    Interesting to learn that taxpayers are being so well served (or not) by two units supposedly at arms length of DND – the CF Grievance Board and the CF Grievance Authority. How many ex CHRC people are on staff at one or the other of these units. One can only hope that the men and women in the forces are served well because they didn’t create them nor can they do anything about them.
    The snide commenter earlier, MsMew, could have saved us all some time/effort this a.m. rather than simply denigrating commentors at large on the thread for not knowing this little small but important existance/connection. It seems that bureaucrats can, after all, move very quickly when they feel their ***es on the front burner.

  9. I just have to wonder – why the names “CF Grievance Board” and the “CF Grievance Authority”? Why not just have one monolithic group named the “CF Grievance Whiner Authority Board”, or maybe the “CF Grievance Crybaby Soapbox”, or perhaps the “CF Authoritative CHRC Gestapo Precrime Division”?
    The “CF Warmanesque Wackjob Troop”?
    The “CF Hey-Let’s-Justify-a-Paycheque-and-go-Grieve-Someone-and-support-my-build-a-hottub-fund”?
    I feel bad that the “CF” is in there at all.
    The mind boggles.

  10. Aye, Karthanon, the Grief-To-Cash Alchemy-Authority. They had a similar procedure in Britain during WWII, in the RAF:
    “He goes up in flames, yeah? Loses control of all, like, the plane and that, and and he’s going down, plunging right down — and he clips my wing, and I almost lose control of my plane.”
    “No.”
    “And then he cries out, I hear him, he’s all like, ‘I don’t want to die.'”
    “That is so random. You must have been right traumatized.”
    “Do you know what I mean? So I goes to the group commander, yeah, the next day, and I says, ‘look, I saw this geezer die, yeah, and I almost died myself, and I want some compensation…”
    “You should get some compensation for that. That is, like, a really bad thing to happen…”
    “…but he goes, ‘no way blood, F-off.'”
    “That’s very disrespecting of you.”
    “So then, this is me to him, okay: ‘I ain’t going up in my plane no more if you don’t give me compensation…”

  12. Before the second world war the government of Germany passed a whole lot of stupid and restrictive laws in their efforts to stop the rise of Hitler. At a later point in this era when Hitler came to power he used those same laws against any opposition. When the pendulum swings the other way all the laws will be in place, most are now, to maintain control legally as did Hitler. It’s really quite simple and all it takes is a strong leader with a little charisma, unfortunately Harper is falling a way short in this department, he is in bad need of a make over.
    As I see events unfolding that time could be a lot closer than most would think, if—, if, the Harper crew was smart. Escalating gas prices are a once in a life time springboard opportunity but I don’t think they see the way to power past wooing the east in all the wrong ways.
    At present high gas prices can be the savior of Conservatism or the perfect tool of the left to seize control.

He’s on for only a few minutes, add on how much the production costs are plus Cherry’s salary which is up in the hundreds of thousands. All this money for a guy who’s a joke.”
    Cable’s hot. “They (CBC) are offering $100,000 to their contest winner. The arrangement, the recording, the musicians, all that goes into the production, it’ll cost taxpayers about $500,000.”
    Cable’s not finished. “Someone said Dolores should be a good Canadian patriot and just give her theme to the CBC for free, that she owes it to Canada. How ridiculous. When you’re a professional, when it’s how you make your living, you don’t give away your services for free.””

  26. Someone just emailed me this morning,
    Subject: Awesome Senior’s Moment!
    It happened in a Metro station in Montreal.
    There were protesters on the concourse handing out pamphlets on the evils of Canada.
    I politely declined to take one.
    An elderly woman was behind me getting
    off the escalator and a young (20-ish)
    female protester offered her a pamphlet,
    which she politely declined.
    The young protester put her hand on the woman’s shoulder as a gesture of friendship and in a very soft voice said,
    ‘Lady, don’t you care about the children
    of Iraq ?’
    The elderly woman looked up at her and said,
    ‘Honey, my father died in France during
    World War II,
    I lost my husband in Korea ,
    and a grandson in Afghanistan.
    All three died so you could have the right to stand here and bad mouth our country.
    If you touch me again,
    I’ll stick this umbrella up your ass and open it.’
    God Bless Canada.

  27. So now Ottawa, who cant seem to find time to deal with the HRC issue between apologies, is going to ensure that Canadians dont download music for free. How noble. While I certainly agree that artists should be credited for their work, is that not why we pay a levy on ALL recordable media in this country? Whether we are using it to record music, or computer code, it matters not. The recoding industry gets a cut of the purchase price. Just like they asked for. Just like they wanted. Just like they said would be fair, reasonable and adequate. Oh and by the way, just like the Supreme Court said they got what they wanted, so no penalties for downloading music.
    So now, just like at the pumps, we will get to pay multiple levies. Because I have my doubts that this is an “either – or” situation.

  28. 14:21 The Lisbon Treaty looks set to be rejected by the Irish people as counting of votes continues around the country this afternoon.With 19 of 43 constituencies declared, the No vote is leading by 54.7 per cent to 45.3 per cent. All but two constituencies, Dublin South and Dublin North, have rejected the treaty. In Fine Gael leader Enda Kenny’s Mayo constituency, the treaty has been rejected by a large 61.7 per cent of voters.
    Those numbers are pretty resounding.
    God bless the Irish. The Celtic spirit of insurrection hasn’t been completely obliviated by the mind grinders in Brussels.

    [Danish economist Bjorn] Lomborg’s latest venture is a body he has founded called the Copenhagen Consensus. Funded mainly by the Danish government, this research panel comprises 50 leading economists, including five Nobel Laureates, and has spent two years applying cost benefit analysis methods to a list of global challenges — disease, pollution, conflict, terrorism, climate change, water and so on.
    Its conclusions are hardly likely to win Lomborg new fans in the eco movement, for global warming comes so far down the list of urgent priorities that it doesn’t make the top ten…

If none of the applicants in New Delhi are welders or accountants, they don’t get through to the next stage…..
    ….The quotas are set every November “to bring in people to Canada from all corners of the world to benefit Canadians,” said Norris, not based on who wants to come, in a kind of global diversity balancing act….

  35. Compare comments about Canada’s surplus in Jeffrey Simpson’s column,(Globe and Mail), on the OECD report to what the Secretary General, Angel Gurria, said in an CTV, Mike Duffy Live interview.
    Blogger ‘Right from Alberta’ captured some of the interview.
    Simpson wrote:
    “The OECD notes that the Harper government has emptied the federal treasury of surpluses, raising the prospect of a small deficit.”
    Gurria on his CTV interview said of the report’s findings on Canada:
    “….you are doing very well….that you have been doing very well for about 17 years. *You have now, a surplus in your budget.* You have relatively low inflation. And you are creating jobs. Your unemployment numbers are lower than the average of the OECD. So, you are doing very well….”

They preserved the seeds in a room for more than 40 years, with the intent of studying them further, and recently, a team of botanists, agronomists, and biologists did just that. Led by Sarah Sallon, head of the Louis L. Borick Natural Medicine Research Center in Jerusalem, the researchers decided to plant some of the date seeds as part of a project to regrow medicinal plants lost from the area…

When the earth shook, he was one of the obedient children sitting with arms crossed at their desks—some naughty boys were still outside, safe on the playground. For ten frantic minutes, trapped between a piece of concrete and brick on the second floor, he waited. His cries couldn’t be heard over the wailing adults, but finally when the crowd outside the collapsing school quieted down they heard him and came to rescue him with their bare hands.
    In the first days after the quake, he couldn’t return to the pile of debris that had once been his three-storey school, but with the help of a volunteer teacher from his tent school, he has visited the site several times and now is not afraid when he comes back. Today, at 2:28, exactly one month after his world shattered, the boy and another child from the tent school placed their hands on their hearts, then bowed three times, saying goodbye to their friends who died at the Hongbaizhen Primary School. Finally these brave survivors vowed: “We will live our lives as best we can.”

Once life had calmed down in the lands of the former Roman Empire the Irish monks moved out of their enclaves and brought Christianity back to Britain and continental Europe. Unfortunately, Viking invaders ravaged the peaceful world of post-Patrick Ireland. Other invasions would follow in centuries to come but none would destroy the Irish spirit or deny the role the Irish paid in “saving civilization.””

  46. Another American blogger on Mark Steyn, the ‘Roos… and the NYT:
    Abe Greenwald, Steyn of the Times
    Yesterday, the New York Times weighed in on the case with a story by Adam Liptak. To his great shame, Liptak took at face value the characterization of Steyn’s article as hate speech…
    The problem is Steyn does not portray “Muslims as all sharing the same negative characteristics.” However, one would never learn this from reading Liptak’s article because Steyn’s original piece is never quoted or described. This is particularly damaging because Liptak has built his entire article around the assumption that Steyn’s work constitutes hate speech and that such speech, though loathsome, is uniquely protected in America.
    Yet no one, it seems, can protect thought-provoking writers from the intellectual laziness of the New York Times.

    In the whole of the industrialized world, the OECD ranks Australia’s and New Zealand’s farming sectors as the healthiest. Not coincidentally, they are also the freest and least dependent on government handouts. Even though both are geographically detached from all export markets, aggressive trading by farmers has made their agri-sectors among the most profitable in the world.
