  4. Can anyone tell me if An American Carol is playing anywhere in Canada? It was released this weekend but does not seem to be available here.

  6. With a Wink and a Smile
    A citizen-politician runs for veep.
    By Mark Steyn
    Back in February, several political lifetimes ago, I was on the radio with Laura Ingraham and she played Stevie Wonder’s campaign song for Barack Obama, whose lyric, in its entirety, runs:
    Ba-rack O-ba-ma
    Ba-a-rack O-ba-a-ma
    Ba-ra-ack Obama-a…
    (Repeat until coronation.)
    And Laura and I had a good laugh about it, until it occurred to me that, in politics as in pop, the tune is more important than the words. A guy can run for president with all the right lyrics — on the war, the economy, the social issues — but what matters is whether people respond to the underlying music: not what he’s saying, but how he’s saying it. At the time, I was reflecting on Mitt Romney: The song looked great on paper, but when he stuck it on the stand and started to warble it never quite soared.

  7. Warren Kinsella blesses the leftist media as moving to the centre. wonder if CBCpravda likes the assessment ?.
    This morning: the special media edition!
    • WINNER: The Toronto Star. Like a certain Liberal In Exile© I, um, know, you could always count on the Star to suspend its critical faculties and urge folks to vote Liberal under any and all circumstances. Like some of us, it had the LPC logo tattooed in its nether regions. For the Star, no more! In this campaign, the Star has been scrupulously fair in its coverage – and, editorially, not nearly as slavish in its devotion to the NGP as it once was. It’ll endorse the Grits in the next week, but big deal – newspaper editorial newspaper support is irrelevant. Kudos to the Star, and its revitalized Ottawa bureau, for playing this one straight.
    • LOSER: Maclean’s magazine. I’m not fan, going back to the appalling way the magazine dealt with the Muslim community. In Campaign 2008, a lot of what I’ve read in Maclean’s online – like many Canadians, I never actually buy the thing – continues to have the same smirky, snarky, aren’t-we-clever style, and it’s off-putting. Wells, Coyne and Potter are great, but the magazine just plain isn’t.
    • WINNERS: The CBC. MotherCorp, like the Star, always gets tagged for being a black helicopter-driving, One World Government-loving, latté-sipping, secular humanist conspiracy. And, let’s face it, they often were. This time around, they provide outstanding political coverage, online and off. And they have gone to extraordinary lengths to solicit the opinions and input of regular folks, and have received precious little credit for doing so. Cynics will sniff they’re currying favour with the Tories to avoid future budgetary cuts. Me, I just think they’re doing their job

  9. CBC Sunday Night News
    Evan Solomon has attack of Gomer Pyle disease.
    Simple questions not asked.

    You were told to throw the documents in the garbage, why didn’t you?
    How did she end up in an opportunity to meet Maxine Bernier?
    Who gave you the invite? How did you get past security to meet Bernier?

  10. Just looked at the NDP website. Now Jack thinks he is going to be the Prime Minister. Maybe he’s confused and thinks that every party leader is a prime minister.

  13. Atlantic Canada-9/31 seats. 1 NL, 2 NS, 5 NB, 1 PEI (no change from 2006)
    NWT, Yukon, Nunavit- 1/3 seats (1 seat gain from 2006)
    QUE- 14/75 seats (4 seat gain)
    ON- 51/105 seats (10 seat gain)
    Prairies- 48/56 seats (2 seat gain)
    BC- 23/36 seats (4 seat gain)
    Majority 155/308
    CPC- 146/308 38%
    LPC- 64/308 28%
    NDP- 48/308 19%
    Bloc- 49/309 9%
    Ind- 1/308 0.1%
    Green- 0/308 6%
    The left vote is showing signs of coalescing. If CPC does release its economic platform this Tueasday as expected, who knows what will happen.
    Now is not the time to start kidding ourselves. Let’s not get complacent. If the polling shows another day or 2 of the same %’s look for the media to pile on since they want a horserace.
    The CPC needs 9 more seats so let’s not blow this. We have been waiting 15 years to get back into a majority situation and we are now in the stretch drive. Quebec is gone, only ON can get us there now.

  15. Glenn, sorry, but if we are to believe the polling we have to deduct the Canadian electorate are short sighted and can’t see past their noses. Some can be bought for a farthing on one issue and too many are just plain not tuned in. Stupid? Possibly some of that too, some politicians say so and the way they operate they must think that we are.
    Given the situation in the politics of the country at this time we need a Conservative majority. The Liberals are in no position to govern and can’t even be a responsible Opposition.
    We really don’t need a pompous Jackass like Layton with any clout to push his Socialist agenda either.
    The country is in the hands of the voters and all we can do is hope for some common sense and reality to come to the top.
    Visualizing Dion or Layton running the country
    or influencing the running of the country in a return to minority Conservative government is sobering. It’s as if we’re doing the same thing over and expecting different results. IT’S CALLED BEING STUPID.

  19. did Dizzy Lizzy May ever take out citizenship, make the effort like Borat Dion.
    Elizabeth May, OC (b. June 9, 1954, Hartford, Connecticut)[1][2] is the current leader of the Green Party of Canada.
    She is also an environmentalist, writer, activist and lawyer. She was the executive director of the Sierra Club of Canada from 1989 to 2006.

    “Barbara Kay, The Islamist elephant in the room no politicians will acknowledge
    I had the privilege of spending a few hours today, October 2, amongst the bravest people in Canada.
    One, Marc Lebuis, is a name you won’t recognize, because up to now he’s kept a low profile as the one-man show running http://www.pointdebasculecanada.ca. This is an anti-Islamist site that brings francophone Quebecers the news and frank opinions on the relentless push of the soft jihadists in our midst to Islamicize society, opinions that the mainstream media are too politically correct to publish. Marc and some close associates organized today’s press conference on the subject, “Political Islam – A Threat to Our Freedoms.”
    The three other brave people appearing with him should be household names, but their courage and eloquence is, shamefully, only known and saluted by a relative handful of grateful Canadians: Salim Mansur, Tarek Fatah and Raheel Raza, three Canadian Muslims facing death threats by other Canadian Muslims for exposing the dangers of Islamism, a totalitarian ideology that wears the mask of religion.
    The room at the Omni hotel in Montreal was filled to capacity, reverberating with frequent applause to statements like these from Salim Mansur: “Islam is my private life, my conscience…[but] my faith does not take precedence over my duties…to Canada and its constitution, which I embrace freely;” “I am first and most importantly a Canadian;” “only in a free society will you find Islam as a faith and not a political religion.””

  22. It appears not Brian.
    There are 58 screens here in the Halifax area and not a one showing “An American Carol”.
    The only screen that had a movie I had even heard of was the IMAX showing Batman.

  23. Dion vows to protect Arctic Culture,Resources
    ctv.ca 10/06/08
    Sad that this Election has turned into a sham of the Issue being Culture!
    ctv had some town hall thing on sat with Shemus (canadaam) O’Reagen & the topic was Culture & the Arts. Now i only seen this for all of 5min & switched channels, but that was enough.
    With todays Economic forcast I would think this should be the Top Subject. This Culture & Arts spin is way out of control.
    Friends were visiting on Sat nite from London,on. Her trade She is an Artist, So i asked her point blank what her view was. She said she has a second job to support her art work, Would she want a handout? she said Sure who would’nt But why should I, Iam no different then anybody else & she said she is sick & tired of these Welfare so called Artist, If a gallery will not show their work or a band cant get a gig Their is a reason & that is It’s Crap.

  24. Spengler, Hockey moms and capital markets
    What does America have that Asia doesn’t have? The answer is, Sarah Palin – not Sarah Palin the vice presidential candidate, but Sarah Palin the “hockey mom” turned small-town mayor and reforming Alaska governor. All the PhDs and MBAs in the world can’t make a capital market work, but ordinary people like Sarah Palin can. Laws depend on the will of the people to enforce them. It is the initiative of ordinary people that makes America’s political system the world’s most reliable…
    Provincial America depends on the initiative of ordinary people to get through the day. America has something like an Education Ministry, but it has little money to dispense. Americans pay for most of their school costs out of local taxes, and levy those taxes on themselves. In small towns, many public agencies, including fire protection and emergency medical assistance, depend almost entirely on volunteers. People who tax themselves, and give their own time and money for services on which communities depend, are not easily cowed by the federal government or by large corporations…

  26. LizJ: “Visualizing Dion or Layton running the country”
    Actually, visualize Dion AND Layton running the country. Canadians need to know that there is a possibility (greater than US style economic meltdown happening here IMO), is minority/coalition between these two incompetent socialists, who think small business corporations are the enemy, and Canada is a “bit polluter.”
    Consider that fellow Canadians, when you go to the voting booth next week.

  27. Michael Sheridan, Return of the Geisha
    THE grey men in suits and the willowy beauties in kimonos have always seemed oddly matched, yet Japan’s conservative politicians hope that a revival of the geisha tradition is a sign that old-fashioned values are on the way back.
    The dying art of the geisha received a surprising boost last week with figures showing that the number of apprentices has reached 100 for the first time in half a century. More than 30 modern, educated girls are entering this exacting profession every year…

  28. Melanie Phillips, Guilt by Participation
    Whichever way this American election ends, it will surely be remembered as the one in which big media threw aside all pretence of objectivity and flung itself into the campaign as committed partisans for Obama…
    It is only in the blogosphere where proper journalism has been doing its job in bringing to the surface the deeply troubling evidence of Obama’s dubious associations and the misleading way in which he has sought to play them down. As I have noted before, it’s as if there have been two elections going on – the one in big media which (with some honourable exceptions) has been portraying Obama entirely on his own terms as the antidote to the old, failed political order; and the one in the blogosphere, which has steadily joined the dots in Obama’s background to reveal the network of radical, subversive, threatening and corrupt activists who have influenced him all his life and who have brought him to power – and about whom he continues to dissemble…

  29. Sorry, should be they think Canada is a “big polluter.”
    Funny how Liberal line changes when they are not in government from, “don’t worry be happy,” to “worry, and be very unhappy.”

  30. What is the matter with the electorate. They seem to be so selfish and self centered they don’t realize what they are doing to this country. To even think of electing Dion or Layton during this down time is absolutely ridiculous unless they are suicidal. Both those socialist will increase our taxes and bring us to our knees. May, is not even worth discussing when it comes to her economic policies.
    I’ve lived through at least 4 recessions. We lost a home and business in the early 80’s when the interest rates were double digit. We had 5 children of various ages and guess what – we survived. We lived through our tears and fears, kept our marriage intact and got through it. There is no way I would go out of my way to vote a government in, that would force the young families today to go through what my family went through.
    They say you get the government you deserve. Well, as for myself I am on my way out of here. Thank goodness. I’ve lived my tribulations. So, if the citizens of this country are hell bent and happy with a government that will tax them to death, then good for them. This will have no effect on my husband or I monetarily.

  31. Using the Mayan Prophecy as an excuse to create new and explosive ways in which our planet may be destroyed, 2012 doomsayers use the geomagnetic shift theory as if it is set in stone. Simply because scientists have said that it might happen within the next millennium appears to be proof enough that it will happen in four years time. Alas, although this theory has some scientific backing, there is no way that anyone can predict when geomagnetic reversal might happen to the nearest day or to the nearest million years…

  32. Took a look at latest Nanos poll, while waiting for today’s results. It has Tories at 34% (not far off other polls), but Liberals at 30% (highest by far, at 4% behind CPC, next closest is Harris/Decima at 7% behind, rest well over 10% behind).
    Hmm. BTW, I understand Nanos was no better than other polls, unless one believes their poll which had them at 36% going into weekend, magically factored 2% drop over the weekend, as has been widely accepted (again, as I recall, feel free to rebut if you have better info).
    Anyway, my point is that there is still large undecided. Political science theory does say undecided end up going way of decided, but given huge inaccuracies in polls to results lately (pollster really blew the Alta election and some byelections, particularly Vancouver Quadra), Tories in good shape PROVIDED they capture that voter unsure of what they’re going to do.
    If they get a good chunk of undecided (at least 50%), plus bring back right Lib voters (please Mr Harper explain how Dion/Layton “team,” which is only way left can seize power will destabilize our strong financial system, plus raise taxes, that they are acting like panicking traders on markets, which is the last thing we need), then we are still in majority territory, but with a lot of work to do.
    Otherwise, dear voters, what are you saying, we need minority government. In this uncertain time, is a dysfunctional parliament a good thing, with Dion pushing for carbon taxes (inflationary effect anyone, just google John Manley) and Layton trying to screw small business with higher corporate taxes in his quest to nail Exxon,
    So, let’s get on with it. Be forthright, not fearful. Given latest stock market meltdown, rather than panicking, Mr Harper should include in his platform (what BS that he hasn’t released it, it’s been done incrementally, rather than the silly crap the Libs and Dippers have put out), a modest stimulus package.
    And, for God’s sake, call Mr Dion on the carbon tax, which he’s been hiding from for two weeks, to drive his polling numbers down.
    Do I sound panicky? I don’t think so; I just never underestimate the fickleness of the Canadian voter and their infinite capacity to do something harmful to themselves.
    Actually, I’m quite sure Tories have minority locked up, mostly due to vote splitting. I also suspect polls are wrong, that Tories sitting somewhere between 35 and 40%.
    Time to work hard for your Tory candidate folks, let people know what left has in mind, an LPC/NDP seizure of parliament unless we have CPC majority government.

  33. Hey Shamrock & Liz bryanr here from owen sound
    A coalition between Libs,NDP & Grn is a very distinct possibility Remember that was already hinted at early in the Election. The libs have the countries biggest socialist(Rae) in their corner now & i would not put it past them that A Coalition has been in the works. The hatred for Stephen Harper that has been spewed this past weekend has intensified tremendously throughout the Left leaning MSM.

    “A changed climate
    The European Union is struggling to deliver on its promises to cut carbon emissions
    JUST 18 months ago the European Union promised to save the world from climate change. A final plan to deliver on those promises must be finished soon. But it is in deep trouble.
    The conclusions of the March 2007 summit proclaiming the EU’s “leading role” on climate change make for wistful reading today. They begin “Europe is currently enjoying an economic upswing,” and add that growth forecasts are “positive”. Back in that long-lost golden age, the EU’s leaders were in heroic mood. They offered binding promises known as the 20/20/20 pledges. By the year 2020, they would cut Europe’s carbon emissions by at least a fifth over 1990 levels; derive 20% of all energy from renewable sources; and make energy-efficiency savings of 20%.
    The heroic mood is gone now. In March 2007 Angela Merkel, the German chancellor and chairman of the summit, was a green champion. Today she sounds like a lobbyist for German business, listing the industries that must be shielded from the full costs of her package. In truth, almost every country has found reasons why the climate-change promises may be impossible to meet in their current form. Britain is gloomy about its renewable-energy targets. Ireland says its farmers must be protected (grass-fed Irish cows emit a lot of methane).
    Dig into most “impossible” problems on the table, and they come down to money. In the EU, rows about money are usually settled, albeit acrimoniously. But another problem is harder to fix. Countries that use a lot of coal, such as Poland, fear that the climate-change package will force them to abandon it. The quick and easy alternative is natural gas, but the fear is that this means Russian gas. Russia made its neighbours nervous even 18 months ago; after its war on Georgia it frightens them even more.
    Poland gets over 90% of its electricity from coal. The giant Siekierki power station in Warsaw provides electricity and heating to two-thirds of the Polish capital each winter. A mountain of coal next to its turbine hall holds 180,000 tonnes, enough for 18 days’ winter production. Ignore climate change, and it is an oddly comforting place. Almost all the coal is Polish, and more arrives on trains from Silesia every day. On an autumn afternoon, the only smells are of fallen leaves and the sweet tang of fresh coal. The only noise comes from a bulldozer smoothing the coal-mound and the cawing of rooks. Its three chimneys run clear: you cannot see the carbon dioxide pouring into the sky.
    The heart of the EU’s climate-change package is an emissions-trading scheme (ETS) that will make factories and power plants like Siekierki pay for emitting carbon. The higher the price of carbon in the ETS, the stronger the signal to switch away from coal. Polish ministers have been galvanised by recent reports that the carbon price will be much higher than European Commission estimates. A February 2008 paper from UBS, a Swiss bank, caused alarm by predicting that 43% of Europe’s coal-fired power generation will switch to gas because of EU emissions targets.”

  35. It’s as if we’re doing the same thing over and expecting different results. IT’S CALLED BEING STUPID. Posted by: Liz J at October 6, 2008 7:16 AM
    Supporting politicians and political parties is exactly that. Stupid. And will result in the same outcomes Liz.
    Put your energies to advocating for smaller government, tax reform, and getting political parties off of the public teat.
    At least your actions then would have some value.

  36. Liberals & their free Ads(MSM) are touting the Stephen Harper would have had you in Iraq, Well Exuse me But so did Paul Martin & thats when he was with Da Little Guy. Sure he is not the leader but fair is fair.
    I would post that little bit for you as i did around 10 or more times in the last election, Unfortantly i do not have it anymore.
    So if anyone has that little Quote post it for me & Email it to the War room & every comments on CTV.ca. Time to get down & dirty to give it back with all barrels. Also time has come to dig up Rae, brison, Iggy any others that have said something in the past that was Pro-Socialist/Communist

  37. The Liberals have an ad on the Star and Globe web sites equating Harper with Bush. That’s like the ‘guns in our streets’ ad of the previous election. It’s smear-mongering – but that’s The Liberal Way.
    They’ve had one agenda only with regard to Harper: smearing – whether by trying to link him to Mulroney-Schreiber, or Cadman, or whatever.
    They offer no critique of his policies (abstention or purely negative is not a critique); their own sudden emergence into policy (Green Shift) is not about the environment but a tax grab against the West from centralist Canada. The rest of their promises are empty; vast sums of empty money being flung at the voter.
    And their smears continue – with accusations of plagiarism by his speechwriters. They ignore, of course, their own lifting, with full knowledge, of someones trademark name (Green Shift).

  38. guns on the street , the only feller that called out the army onto the people was Mr. Trudeau .
    the only other time in recent history was when the army was humilitated into cleaning up the snow in Trona in 1999, that was Mr Cretians doing. I methinks he may have been a Lib too.

  40. ET, I’ve talked to a number of people and, when the subject of plagiarism comes up, I point out that Liberals stole a trademark from a company, which surely must be considered much worse, especially when one considers speechwriter plagiarized a few sentences for Harper’s speech.
    Surprise, surprise, they weren’t aware of Rae’s cherry picking or LPC theft of another company’s name. The suppression of the MSM is really quite something. Anyway, nobody actually cares about the “plagiarism” anyway.
    Canadians need to be reminded that the central plank of the Liberal platform if their carbon tax scheme. Soft Liberal voters are in denial about this. Of course, Harper had no opportunity to challenge Dion on this recent omission, because he was rhetorically swarmed at the debates.
    WRT polls, now I’m sure most of them are BS. The Torstar poll has NDP leading in Atlantic Canada, with CPC second and LPC 3rd (huh?), and CPC 3rd behind Libs in PQ (BS).
    The polls seemed to converge, now they are widly divergent, so none can be trusted. Sorry, Nanos wasn’t right last time, and polls have missed badly in some byelections and Alta provincial.
    Nose to the grindstone, keep hammering at Libs, like I just did, explaining they haven’t repudiated their corrupt political culture, can’t even keep their own finances in order, yet are telling us they have prescription for economy (yes, we will have meetings and conferences, then plan to make some plan to make a plan-just trust us like CO2 reductions in green shaft).
    And, most importantly, deal with can’t give Harper a majority. How – explain what will happen in minority parliament, with distinct possibility of Rae-inspired usurpation of parliament and seizure of power with Dion as PM, and Layton as Finance Minister.
    People don’t think Harper is doing bad job, in fact most think he has done well. But, they’ve been conditioned by MSM to think minority governments are good things and Harper majority would send woment to back alleys for abortions and aircraft carriers would shoot at them with unregistered handguns.
    The insanity must stop, folks. Issues and leadership must prevail her for God’s sakes – or …

  41. I personally will not tolerate the fear and smear that all parties engage in. The only reason I will vote CPC this time around is they will not tax the west into the shitter. Politics in this country is painful.
    If the Libs are in I’m outa here. (US probably recession and all)

  42. The Phillip Berg suit against Obama continues.
    As WND reported, prominent Pennsylvania Democrat and attorney Philip J. Berg filed suit in U.S. District Court two months ago claiming Obama is not a natural-born U.S. citizen and therefore not eligible to be elected president. Berg has since challenged Obama publicly that if the candidate will simply produce authorized proof of citizenship, he’ll drop the suit.
    Berg told WND the longer the DNC tries to ignore his lawsuit or make it go away – instead of just providing the documents – the more convinced he is that his accusations are correct.

    At the end of the article
    “if you have a Heart problem, you go to a Cardiologist. If you have an abscessed tooth, you go to a Dentist. If the biggest challenges facing your country are economic, Who should you put in charge?”

  46. Max Boot, An Iraqi Message to Obama
    …One of the questions that my colleagues and I have asked is what would happen if the next U.S. administration were to decide on a precipitous pullout–perhaps even, let us say for the sake of argument, on a 16-month timetable? What would be the consequence?
    I wish those who favor such a pullout–in particular a certain junior senator from Illinois–would visit the Besmaya army training range east of Baghdad to hear the answer offered by its commander, Colonel Abbas Fadhil…

    Anyone who asks American soldiers to leave Iraq is an agent of Al Qaeda, Iran, or the militias. His agenda is not a pro-Iraq agenda. It is some other country’s agenda. Anyone who supports this plan wants Iran to control Iraq and the Persian Gulf. . . . It will be a big mistake if your soldiers leave Iraq. We will be like Lebanon. American troops should be here a long time…

  47. “Is This The Beginning of Global Cooling
    Many scary stories have been written about the dangers of catastrophic global warming, allegedly due to increased atmospheric concentrations of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO2) from the combustion of fossil fuels. But is the world really catastrophically warming? NO. And is the warming primarily caused by humans? NO.
    Since just January 2007, the world has cooled so much that ALL the global warming over the past three decades has disappeared! This is confirmed by a plot of actual global average temperatures from the best available source, weather satellite data that shows there has been NO net global warming since the satellites were first launched in 1979.
    Since there was global cooling from ~1940 to ~1979, this means there has been no net warming since ~1940, in spite of an ~800% increase in human emissions of carbon dioxide. This indicates that the recent warming trend was natural, and CO2 is an insignificant driver of global warming.
    Furthermore, the best fit polynomial shows a strong declining trend. Are we seeing the beginning of a natural cooling cycle? YES. Further cooling, with upward and downward variability, is expected because the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) has returned to its cool phase, as announced by NASA this year.
    Global warming and cooling have closely followed the phases of the PDO. The most significant pattern of PDO behavior is a shift between “warm” and “cool” phases that last 20 to 30 years. In 1905, the PDO shifted to its “warm” phase. In 1946, the PDO changed to its “cool” phase. In 1977, the PDO returned to its “warm” phase and produced the current warming. In 2007-8, the PDO turned cold again, so we can expect several decades of naturally-caused global cooling.”

  48. Being a knuckledragging rural type, I know little about Art and Culture but I found this great quote from a formerly liberal playwright
    David Mamet Leaves the Brain Dead Left
    by Dinesh D’Souza
    http://tinyurl.com/4ub2km
    “Perhaps most touching, Mamet expressed the profound sense of liberation that all independent-thinking people feel when they stop kowtowing to liberal shibboleths. “I no longer need to believe the drivel that is spoken around me,” Mamet said. “I feel lighter already.” To which I can only say: welcome home, David Mamet.”

  49. “BREAKING: Dion’s Plagiarism Uncovered!
    We all know how much I love pointing out the blatant hypocrisy of the Liberal Party, especially when it comes to allegations lobbed at the Prime Minister.
    Well, in continuing with Stephen Taylor’s onslaught, a loyal reader of mine, paulsstuff, has done some digging of his own.
    It would appear as though over a quarter of Stephane Dion’s speech at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in 2005 was plagiarized directly from a 2004 speech given to the U.S. Senate committee chaired by none other than…..John McCain. That’s right, folks, Dion has ripped off Dr. Robert Corell, a a Senior Policy Fellow with the Atmospheric Policy Program of the American Meteorological Society, in order to look like a competent Minister of the Environment.
    Take a look, from random points throughout Dion’s speech and the article.
