  1. “You’re kidding, right Richfisher? Trudeau will be hailed blindly as the new Emperor, just the same as “empty suit” Obama is being hailed as the new Emperor.
    The support will be nearly universal…he’ll capture the female vote, the youth vote, the Quebec vote, the MSM vote and the idiot vote…basically 65% of the population of Canada.”
    “Blind” is the key word.
    He has his mothers looks and brains.
    The libs and MSM will bite on your description of him for sure; that’s what will make the whole exercise so fulfilling.
    The dirt on this guy will be epic!
    A lot of Quebec and Canada already hate him.
    He sounds more socialist marxist than Jack,
    He is the consumate champagne socialist.
    That silver spoon will choke him.
    He will make Dion sound like Milton freakin Freidman once he goes off prompter with his love for Castro and soviet style statehood.
    Add his effete nobility jetset “lifestyle” into the mix and you’re talkin majority for the conservatives.
    Rae and Iggy are twice as smart and 100 times better public speakers.
    Rae is a Rhodes scholar with a knack for public speaking. Iggy and him can navigate the minefield of gotcha journalism without a compass.
    Trudeau will step on every rake in the field.
    No amount of spin could possibly make the Trudeau kids sound like anything but a couple of disconnected spoiled elitist commie son’s of a substance abuser, that they are.

  2. from Celestial Junk:
    Some very bizarre admissions about global warming
    http://cjunk.blogspot.com/2008/10/warmists-and-msm-retract-predictions.html
    “Even Al Gore got into the act, and expressed regret at fanning the flames of sensationalism … while environmental groups around the world moved cautiously toward a more open view of the situation. Pepper Misty Leaf, of Arctic Ice Salvation stated, “We didn’t realize it was the wind … and now that wind dynamics are changing, we may see more … not less ice in the near future … polar bears will be happy!”

  4. Reported on CHBC TV news a second bomb site on gasline found today in northern BC. I have not been able to find a link as yet…..

  6. From CJunk;
    Warmists and MSM Retract Predictions
    In a surprising yet welcome move, most major North American and International news outlets today reported on the IPCC and Warmist admission that predictions of an ice-free arctic in 2008 were simply wrong. Furthermore, most MSM outlets quoted two studies that pointed to “winds” and “circulation”, not global warming, as the likely causes of arctic ice depletion. Most surprising of all, was NASA’s Dr. James Model Hansen, who told reporters, “I was wrong … just simply wrong … predicting an ice free 2008 was clearly hyperbole … and for that, I apologize.”
    Even Al Gore got into the act, and expressed regret at fanning the flames of sensationalism … while environmental groups around the world moved cautiously toward a more open view of the situation. Pepper Misty Leaf, of Arctic Ice Salvation stated, “We didn’t realize it was the wind … and now that wind dynamics are changing, we may see more … not less ice in the near future … polar bears will be happy!”
    David Suzuki even got into it when he told reporters that, “We knew it couldn’t all have been attributed to Global Warming … the models are, after all, only as good as the formulas and data that goes into them. The planet is a solar driven beast … and we need to look a lot closer at the the sun.”
    But the final word goes to the IPCC, which plans on revising its outlooks. “Someone, somewhere, is not telling the truth … either that, or we just don’t know as much about the climate as we thought,” said IPCC head, Rajendra Pachauri’s. He added, that since he believes in reincarnation, he intends on pursuing the matter even into another life.

  8. Philip Carl Salzman, Is peace normal?
    …The assumption appears to be that peace is normal and war is anomalous, and thus if war is present, someone must be doing something wrong.
    But the historical and ethnographic evidence suggests that it is peace that is anomalous, and war that is normal. Even desiring peace, as opposed to desiring victory, is anomalous…
    Only in the 17th century, with the development of science and technology, was a dynamic of ever-increasing production initiated. For the first time, in the increasingly industrial societies, riches did not depend upon expropriating wealth from others…

  10. the CEEBS was back on “All KHADR, all the time” this morning.
    The election of CPC/Harper was soo yesterday’s news.

  11. MSM/CanPress Headline.

  13. “Maclean’s pulls back on insults aimed at Mike Duffy [updated]
    When CTV aired the botched Stephane Dion interview, many in the media expressed strong opinions about the decision. Few stronger, though, than Andrew Potter of Maclean’s, who called Mike Duffy a “despicable human being”.
    Well, that blog post is gone.
    Everyone recalls the disastrous interview between Liberal Party leader Stephane Dion and ATV’s Steve Murphy. During that interview, Stephane Dion seemed unable, or unwilling, to answer the question of what he would have done differently if he was prime minister when the big market slide took place just a week before the vote.
    CTV aired that segment on Mike Duffy Live, and Mike Duffy too a lot of heat for it. Andrew Potter of Maclean’s got particularly personal:
    [Andrew Potter] “Mike Duffy is a despicable human being.
    For Shame.
    The only saving grace is that James Moore refused to be drawn in. Good on him. Mike Duffy is disgusting.
    UPDATE: This is worse than the Chretien face-paralysis attack ad. CTV just won Dion the election.
    UPDATE AGAIN: Here’s the clip, for those who missed it.”
    …-
    Update: Kady O’Malley’s blog post in support of Andrew Potter is gone from Maclean’s blog pages as well.”

  14. Actually Duffy was called ‘a fat despicable human being” and many on that night called him worse. The oh-so-tolerant left.Maybe it was taken down because Duffy filed a complaint with the HRC,it certainly would fit a lot better than most complaints.

  15. Q: Why has Citoyen Dion collapsed?
    A: Citoyen Dion was a socialist shill, a socialist ponerologist, selling socialism’s Pyramid Scheme, aka Green Shift.
    Citoyen Dion-Liberals, aka Librano$, were the scum who hoped to rise to the top of Canada’s “social surface”.
    The wisdom of Canadians blew the Citoyen Dion-Liberal pyramid scheme to pieces.
    This is the accomplishment of one man: Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
    Belmont says, “there is no rigorous reason to believe that scum rises to the social surface,”.
    See F.A. Hayek: *”Why the Worst Get on Top”
    …-
    “Boom and boom”
    “But there is another theory of why collapses occur that bears thinking about. It is rooted in the somewhat kooky discipline of “ponerology”, which defines itself as the science of evil. The basic idea is that while about 5% of the human population is psychopathic they tend to collect over time in the upper echelons of organizations. According to this theory, an inordinate number of really bad people are at the very top of society. Eventually they take it over and pervert it. Although most of “ponerology” sounds hokey and there is no rigorous reason to believe that scum rises to the social surface, I think it may be true that over time psychopaths learn to game the system simply because these are precisely the types of people who are obsessively looking for a way to gratify their socially prohibited desires.”

  16. Thank you, Fred and Biff. Thing one has to remember about schools: you pay them, they don’t pay you. They like to pretend they own you, but never forget you’re a CUSTOMER, not some indentured peon.
    One would think even an academic would know not to push around grown men (or women) with lots of crunchy life experience behind them. One would think that, but one would be wrong.
    My favorite sport was asking these over qualified retards questions about THEIR lecture they couldn’t answer but I could. Three of those in a row during a lecture and even the pushiest commie will step back.

  17. (Via MESH) Sven Behrendt, When Money Talks: Arab Sovereign Wealth Funds in the Global Public Policy Discourse
    Sven Behrendt studies the rise of Arab SWFs, assesses their investment strategy, and evaluates the policies of Arab investors and Western nations.
    He also analyses the political implications of policy initiatives, such as the International Working Group of Sovereign Wealth Funds convened by the IMF, which agreed to new voluntary principles and investment practices in Washington last Saturday.
    Key conclusions:

    An international framework between investing and recipients nations is needed and should reflect the changing nature of the global market. A fragmented system of national policies is inefficient and in no one’s interest.
    Arab investment managers need to adjust their strategies and take broader responsibility for the stability of the global financial markets. They can no longer play the role of quiet investors.
    Arab public opinion, media, and civil society should take an interest in their countries’ SWFs and demand a more transparent accounting of how the funds are being invested.
    Western governments should acknowledge the increased bargaining power of the Gulf countries and reach out in a constructive manner. They must also avoid policy decisions based on misplaced fear of foreign domination and populist sentiments…

    Further to Phantom’s ideas, how about your sister seeing how many places on campus she could give information (pictorial) on abortion? Like, none.
    Or hand out Bibles? or support Canadian military? *That* would be interesting.

  22. “Proof that Torontonians live on another planet in another time.
    From Citytv….
    Stephane Dion is reported to announce that he will step down as the leader of the Liberal party. Who do you think should take his place?
    Michael Ignatieff 18%
    Gerard Kennedy 9%
    Bob Rae 15%
    Justin Trudeau 49% Other 9% ”
    I had a thought about this yesterday. Can anyone think of a better way to spark western separation than a new Prime Minister named Trudeau?
    USSA…lol

  23. maz2:
    “ponerology”
    Just another way to say “feather bedding”. You don’t need evil people, just an avenue of opportunity for the greedy, perverse, or dogmatic, to pretend good civic intentions. While being seduced or giving over to evil for all the right reasons, wrong headedly for yourself pretending your a knight of right. People rationalize every bad thing they do into sweet roses.
    Your absolutely correct though. After a time these types of psychos flock together like a murder of crows. Than comes collapse as people take their moral cues from the leaders.

  24. Dionky Watch.
    It’s Dionky’s Honey-Do Crisis.
    But, donya worry: “Additionally, the Liberals have some young stars”.
    …-
    “Senior Liberal MP asks Dion to ‘signal intentions'”
    “Dion spent his second straight day out of the public eye as he ponders his political future after a disastrous showing in Tuesday’s election.
    CTV’s Ottawa Bureau Chief Robert Fife spoke with insiders revealed that Dion is ambivalent about whether to remain as Liberal Leader, but that his wife, Janine Krieber, wants him to stay on.”

  25. The explosions along the pipelines in northern B.C. are in all likelihood the work of ‘enviromental’ extortionists. These people who are ‘one with the earth’ will cause damage to the enviroment by doing things like bombing pipelines under the guise of concern for the land which can only be appeased by large amounts of corporate cash directed towards their pockets.That is my take on it,for what it is worth.

  26. Revnant Dream: “murder of crows”.
    It’s crow behaviour:
    “At crow courts, the prisoner stands alone in the centre of a circle of a circle of its fellows. The assembled crows discuss the case, becoming more excited. At times, an individual outcaws the others and, like a prosecuting attorney or a lawyer for the defence, argues and orates, until the prisoner is found guilty and the court passes sentence. The judge, jury and lawyers unite in inflicting the death penalty on the spot. It is possible that you just missed one of these ‘crow trials’, as the behaviour of your crows seems to fit the above description of animation.”
    http://en.allexperts.com/q/Wild-Animals-705/crows.htm
    The link above is full of the crow, Volpe.
    Volpe wants Dionky in the centre of the crow circle.
    The Liberals have put Dionky on trial; Dionky’s trial is underway.
    … caw … caw … caw >>>>

  27. The CBC is beyond the pale. Newman’s on with Patrick Gossage–and before him, Susan Bonner, one of the many excruciating Susans–dissecting the past, present, and future of Citoyen Dion.
    It’s all Librano, all the time. You’d never know that the CPC won a decisive minority. Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his governing party seem to be off the CBC radar as inconsequential compared to the REAL story of the day: How do you solve a problem like Dion?

  28. Hey, now Newman’s got Duceppe on and the fact that the Conservatives “didn’t do better” in Quebec.
    Knock, knock, Mr. Newman, and any other CBC apparatchicks who may be listening: Could you let the Canadian electorate know what their new government is doing? Any chance you could let us in on what PMSH and the CPC’s plans are for us mere plebs? Aren’t we paying your salaries to do just this?
    Who would know?
    And, BTW, CBC, smarten up and hop to it. You’ve got a job to do. So far, you’ve failed miserably to deliver your mandate to the Canadian taxpayer.

  29. Over at National newswatch,the first 4 featured stories and ten links for a total of fourteen items are about Dion or a possible succesor.Dion must stay. I do not want to be subjected to another cbc media love affair that is a liberal leadership race. The last one went on with 9 months of nightly stories and features about the contenders which ended with almost continuous coverage of the three day labour that resulted in baby Stephane. Martha Findlay and Gerard Kennedy were basically unknowns until the leadership race,but cbc made them liberal stars.It would be very interesting to compare the money WE spent covering the liberal race as compared to the one the conservative one. I would guess about 20 to 1.

  30. Harper has to name someone, anyone, as a rep for NFLd in the cabinet. I say Rick Mercer is his man. He is less of a joke than Williams or the average NFLd voter who listened to him.

  31. Gosh Manny…
    …oooooooor Newfieland can suffer the consequences of their actions.
    btw, Mr Mercer, to my knowledge, didn’t stand for election this time around. Are you suggesting that he be appointed to the Senate in order to put him at the cabinet table.

  32. Biff.I think that to find places that illegal activities can go undetected is borderline illegal,that may be reason to refuse this assignment.If not,for extra credit,she can point out the best spots to bludgeon a faculty member.

  33. Morgan: “Justin Trudeau 49%” — this is great! Give us Justin. Give us Justin. (Still, what could they be thinking?)

  34. biff: I think your story is quite shocking and I think a formal complaint should be made to the board of the institution. Perhaps a copy of her original complaint and the letter received in response. Yikes. What’s this world coming to? (Not a good question to ask, I guess.)

  35. Richfisher poll:
    Now it’s as follows

    Stephane Dion is reported to announce that he will step down as the leader of the Liberal party. Who do you think should take his place?
    Michael Ignatieff19%
    Gerard Kennedy 13%
    Bob Rae 18%
    Justin Trudeau 38%
    Other 11%
