    we will never see those monies paid back, thats the liberal way.
    If its not talked about it will go away, if the channel is changed it will go away, Canadians will forgive & forget afterall they are liberals And they can never do wrong Its always someone else’s fault Thats the Liberal way. Lie, cheat, twist & spin thats the liberal way, always has been always will be.

  3. ET, it is incorrect that police is doing nothing. They are busy investigating the gun owner who dares to mail order bullets. It takes 3 cops in 3 cruisers to deliver a bullet parcel these days, two of them in wide stance with hands on the guns. One of the trio was a sergeant (!) no less. It matters not that they have a bigger problem on their hands that a box of bullets (as in ‘chunks of copper plated lead’)

  4. (Via SWJ) Rehmat Mehsud and Ben Arnoldy, Pakistani Taliban under pressure from tribal rival
    A top leader of the Pakistani Taliban, slapped in March with a $5 million bounty by the United States, is wanted worldwide.
    Yet the real danger Baitullah Mehsud faces may be an emerging rival from his local tribe in northwestern Pakistan…
    The rupture raises the prospect that tribal rivalries could be exploited to sap the Taliban movement. But analysts warn that there are limits to a divide-and-rule strategy given the way the Taliban have undermined tribal power structures – and resisted meddling by Islamabad or Washington…

    AN internal army report has given a more threatening assessment of China’s military expansion than was publicly stated in the defence white paper, warning bluntly that it could “destabilise” the region.
    The report, obtained by The Weekend Australian, also makes more hawkish comments about India’s military ambitions than Defence has admitted…

    North Pole Sea Ice twice as thick as expected
    Editor Bio
    Email Article
    By Editor Wednesday, April 29, 2009
    Radio Bremen
    The research aircraft “Polar 5” today concluded its Arctic expedition in Canada. During the flight, researchers measured the current ice thickness at the North Pole and in areas that have never before been surveyed. The result: The sea-ice in the surveyed areas is apparently thicker than scientists had suspected.
    Normally, newly formed ice measures some two meters in thickness after two years. “Here, we measured ice thickness up to four meters,” said a spokesperson for Bremerhaven’s Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research. At present, this result contradicts the warming of the sea water, according to the scientists.
    Apart from measuring ice thickness, the composition of arctic air was also investigated. With the help of a laser, the researchers studied the level of pollution of the atmosphere by emissions from industrialized countries. In the next few weeks the results will be evaluated. Some 20 scientists from the U.S., Canada, Italy and Germany took part in the expedition.

  9. Angry has more. Love this expression from Angry: >>> “chair-squirming evidence”.
    Excerpt:
    “Thanks to Dan Cook, we are faced with chair-squirming evidence that Michael Ignatieff lies:
    December 1, 2008: “I support the [coalition] accord because it’s fiscally responsible, it provides responsible economic leadership in tough times and it also conserves the basic principles of national unity, equality, that our party has always believed in.” — Liberal leadership candidate Michael Ignatieff
    May 10, 2009: “There was also a question concerning the legitimacy of the coalition that troubled me.” And: “I felt it was very difficult to guarantee the necessary political stability during a time of crisis with three partners in a formal coalition,” he said. “That was my first doubt. I couldn’t guarantee the long-term stability of the coalition under the circumstances.” — Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff
    In his May 10 statement, Michael Ignatieff seems to be saying he always had doubts. Let’s take him at his word. But if that’s true, why would he have said the things he said on December 1?
    Indeed, the legitimacy question seems to reveal another lie.
    On December 1, Michael Ignatieff said Stephane Dion was rightfully positioned to be the prime minister:
    “We are at one, the three of us [Bob Rae, Dominic LeBlanc, Michael Ignatieff], that the only person that can lead the country is the duly elected leader of the party, Mr. Stephane Dion.”
    On May 10, Michael Ignatieff says Stephane Dion never had the legitimacy to claim to be prime minister:
    In Montreal on Sunday to promote his most recent book, the federal Liberal Leader also said the coalition came at a time when the party’s right to govern would have been called into question after one of the worst election results in its history.
    The party lost 19 seats and captured just 26 per cent of the vote in last October’s federal election.
    “There was also a question concerning the legitimacy of the coalition that troubled me.”
    So Michael Ignatieff had questions concerning the legitimacy and stability of the coalition, and despite these questions, he stated unequivocally that the coalition was legitimate and stable.
    Saying one thing while believing something else to be true is the definition of lying.”

    Lobster prices under $3 a pound
    By Alison Auld, THE CANADIAN PRESS
    HALIFAX – Lobster fishermen in Atlantic Canada whose industry has been devastated by low prices and waning demand could be getting financial help from Ottawa, an MP from the region said Sunday.
    Defence Minister Peter MacKay said discussions were taking place to determine the best way to assist fishermen who have been hit by record-low prices of under $3 a pound.

    Grits, Tories switch teams on carbon tax
    The StarPhoenixApril 11, 2009
    In the run-up to last year’s federal election, the Conservative party was busy scaring the West over the impact of a carbon tax while the Liberals were trying to sell a complex Green Shift.
    Since then the snow has come and nearly gone, the sun has warmed and Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff has become a regular in Alberta preaching the role tarsands development plays in Canadian jobs, while the Conservative environment minister is warning that Canada better have a carbon tax in place or face economic catastrophe.

    Plums land in laps of Tories’ pals
    By THE CANADIAN PRESS
    Last Updated: 11th May 2009, 3:30am
    The federal cabinet filled more than a half-dozen posts at key government boards last month with Conservative supporters, including one of Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s closest friends.
    The high-level appointments were among more than 30 plums cabinet handed out in one day at the height of internal Tory strife and speculation that Harper’s leadership might be in trouble.

  18. Since you provide no evidence contrawise, Hardboiled, I’ll assume those were all excellent appointments. After all, if you’re too greedy to provide said evidence, why should I, on the basis of your now tainted word, assume otherwise?

  19. Not only did Ignatieff sign the coalition crap,he signed it with the knowledge that he would be the likely leader of this coalition. For him to belittle the coalition now shows the integrity that the man possesses,little to none.

  20. Anarchy reigns. Bloody Hell.
    These Tamils have absolutely no right of assembly on a public highway, as ET points out. This is elementary: elementary democracy.
    But, of course, we live in a time when stating the obvious is politically incorrect.
    I’m mad as Hell that our police have been neutered. They should have arrested all of the Tamil demonstrators on the Gardiner Expressway, to allow citizens to use a public throughfare. And, as for Count Iggula’s capitulation to thug tactics, ‘figures. He’s a Librano, afterall.
    Thugs in Canada, if they’re part of a “visible minority” and are, therefore, considered “multicultural,” can do pretty much whatever they want no matter what the inconvenience to the rest of us — even though “the rest of us” are footing the bill for their housing, food, education, and medical expenses.
    ‘Anyone else who works hard for their living, who pays all of their family’s expenses, often at great personal sacrifice, getting totally sick and tired of the abuse by Canadians of convenience who are sucking us dry?
    Enough! You can suck at a public teat only so long before it dries up. Either become Canadians who pay your own way and hold only one passport — a Canadian passport — or go back to your country of origin. Your demands are over the top and too costly to full-time Canadians who are fully committed to our country.

  22. “I’m mad as Hell that our police have been neutered.”
    They haven’t “been neutered” they’re ballz are big enough if the “right” people are there to be fkd. The police have picked they’re side, and the side of freedom and liberty isn’t the side they chose. The police collectively have chosen to be the enforcers of tyranny against all those that do not meet the Historically Disadvantaged Identifiable Groups(HDIG) description. Individual cops may disagree with the overall direction from above, but in the end they are willful participants and enforcers of the new order.

  23. This just in: Who’s fault?

  24. (Slightly) shorter Coyne
    By Andrew Coyne – Monday, May 11, 2009 – 38 Comments
    Elsewhere you will find a lengthy piece by me explaining why I support the electoral reform (STV) option in Tuesday’s BC’s referendum. But for those pressed for time, here’s the gist:
    Think of all the things you detest about politics as it is practiced in Canada today.
    – The viciousness.
    – The emptiness.
    – The lack of real options.
    – Voters being told they can’t vote for the party they support, but must support another party, to stop yet a third party — that is, to prevent “vote-splitting.”
    – The preponderance of so-called “safe” seats.
    – The vast and artificial disparities in representation between regions — no Liberals in Alberta, no Tories in Toronto, etc
    – The discrimination against new or small parties like the Greens
    – MPs who have little role but to vote with their party.
    – Being forced to choose between a candidate you can’t stand running for a party you support, or a candidate you like running for a party you despise.
    And so on.
    Well: we can just sit and complain about it, as important issues are ignored, voter turnout declines and our politics slide ever further into the mud. Or we can do something about it.

  27. Anarchy? Where? Do you know what anarchy is?
    Posted by: Vitruvius at May 11, 2009 6:38 PM
    Sadly (imho), Canadians in general lack a robust understanding of the world around them. We are a relatively poor nation of raw material exporters. Our per capita incomes are relatively low compared to our perceived peers (no, we are not their peers). We are not well traveled, and our education system – while strong on math and science – is weaker in several important areas.
    Governance is one.
    Where the reality lies is in the numbers of police, the vehicles available, the overtime costs, and the ability of the justice system to process thousands of persons for criminal trespass (or civil dis-obedience or whatever…).
    And here’s the irony: As a statist nation – every little socialist in this country wants and demands the gubmint do it all for them. Give them cheques. Keep the peace. Fight injustice. Yada yada.
    The reality?
    We are an statist socialist nation with low per capita incomes and confiscatory tax rates.
    This has been perpetuated by governments since the mid 20th century. It continues today.
    For the OPP/Ont Gov’t/Federal Gov’t to burn dollars and resources criminally prosecuting (or even ticketing) these people is not worth it. Half of them won’t pay, they’ll fight and go to the hearings eating up court time. There will be errors in writing the tickets up. Language barriers abound. And while they were arresting them, there would have been a real threat of violence, instead of nuisance.
    In other words – your police abandoned you based on a cost decision. It happens alot. The drug war itself exists as a police employment program: it can self fund with asset appropriations – and cops can claim they’re catching bad guys.
    Arresting some 60 year old with a 32 syllable name doesn’t have the same cachet.
    Now, Caledonia is different. Because racism exists – and is prosecuted by the force of law, residing within the government itself.
    Not the majority of Canadians.
    They are the ones abused by their loving & caring government.
    Actively. Or passively, like yesterday.

  28. On CTV this evening I watched a well spoken YOUNG man obviously of timal background standing in front of a camera bitching about what is going on in HIS country (thousands of mile away). He has not got the balls to go back to HIS country to help solve the problem. You can bet your last dime IF Canadian troops were sent there HE would NOT be one of them. I have a problem taking cowards like him seriously, but CTV seems to buy it.

  30. Oh, of course, Hardboiled, everyone else in your country lacks, as you put it, a “general robust understanding of the world around them”, but you don’t! No, I think not. There’s a word for your behaviour, Hardboiled: it’s called psychosis. Perhaps, instead of seeing Canada in your mirror, you should see yourself.

  31. Yeah, well, they were not independent of rule or authority, Batb, they were just being a generic pain in the ass, and the officials on hand decided to blow them off, rather than create a further separate scene. So it doesn’t actually work, really. Because, look, if one runs around calling things anarchy when they aren’t, then, like the boy who cried wolf, what is one going to call it when it really is anarchy, while yet still having anyone pay any residual attention to what one cries?

  32. “According to the Catlin website, the team plans to leave the Arctic later this week.
    I believe that they have done a fantastic job educating the public about the Arctic.
    Their mission has been followed breathlessly by BBC and Guardian reporters, who previously believed that the Arctic had melted and become a place for sunbathing*.”

  34. Virtruvius: “Yeah, well, they were not independent of rule or authority…”
    They weren’t? My apologies for not having my stars lined up with yours, but where is the “rule or authority” that the LTTE figured they were ruled by or under whose authority they were? They seem to do what they want, when they want, where they want, with little or no concern about consequences — and for good reason, it would seem.

  35. Please, Vitruvius, be helpful and suggest what would constitute anarchy in this situation — or, what about it does not constitute anarchy.
    I’m surprised to discover that you think I’m “running around … calling things anarchy when they aren’t … [crying wolf] etc. …”
    As far as I know, there aren’t many people listening to me which means that crying wolf, if that’s what I’m doing, won’t, in all likelihood, affect all that many individuals.

  36. Jeez; ‘Hardboiled’ you had better plug into a light socket, you have seem to have run out of steam. ‘MI’ all about the images now and forever, nothing that can be done without the royalty consent.

  39. Morontonians love their multicultis .. and just wait until the Israelis whack Iran’s nuke factories and then the muzis in Moronto will go apeshit crazy and do what the Tamils did … strangle the expressways and paralyze the city … Love dem multicultis in Moronto …!!!!
