  3. Kudos to Matt for posting this. I don’t actually agree with Coren entirely but I love watching a Leftist squirm. Her brain is wrestling with the multiple contradictions of equality for all. That’s why what’s coming out of her mouth makes little sense! 🙂

  4. Knacker:
    It`s a video about a kid riding her pedal car to the outer limits. Why do you need shroons to enjoy the scenery along with the music of “X-Files.” Get a life man! Thanks Vitruvius! The pedal car however needs a Briggs and Stratton engine!

  5. Obama Czar of the North Michael Ignatieff goes underground
    By Judi McLeod Friday, September 18, 2009
    Obama Czar of the North, Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff, has gone the same route as former Green Czar Van Jones: underground.
    No longer able to force an unwanted federal election on Canadians without New Democrat Party Leader Jack Layton who has defected to the Tories, Ignatieff was trying to undermine Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s Wednesday Washington trip—even while the PM was still there.
    Flying into a pique, Ignatieff referred to Harper’s Washington meeting as an “amateur hour” that made Canadians “look like Boy Scouts”.
    The Boy Scout image carried out courageously by 2,000+ Canadian troops willingly backing up Americans in Afghanistan may be the consummate insult only in the mind of a politician whose ego sees him sharing the control of North America with a ruthless President Barack Hussein Obama.
    Underground is the best place for Ignatieff, known to the masses as Iggy, to advance his strategy as Obama Czar of the North.
    Held back from power by the likes of Jack Layton and a Canadian public who put survival in a shaky economy in front of his agenda to bring North America under Obama control, Ignatieff, whose forebears were Russian born, works, in effect, toward the formation of a North American Union.
    But while sovereignty may be up for grabs in Obama’s America, Sovereignty is a hallmark worth fighting for by Canadians.
    Robbing Canadians of their Sovereignty is something bound to evoke the fighting spirit of Canadians when it is comes from a parachuted back to Canada politician who spent almost three decades living outside the the country he wishes to lead, including five years teaching at Harvard University.
    Ignatieff boasts he has friends in high places in the USA. Some Canadian pundits claim he is being groomed as Czar of the North by no less than Larry Summers, economic adviser to Obama.

    Just take a deep breath please.

  8. Globe and Mail, Friday, Review section.
    TV columnist Andrew Ryan says HBO is the only North American broadcaster taking risks in these cautionary times. He points to Curb Your Enthusiasm and Bored to Death.
    We’ll never know, of course, because HBO is banned in Canada. There is an HBO Canada channel, up at 302 on your dial. But perhaps this has about the same relationship to the real HBO that MTV Canada has to MTV.
    Isn’t it long past time that we un-censored our TV and radio?

  10. Sorry man–didn’t mean to frazzle you!! It’s just that I lost so many good friends to booze and drugs!! Peace bro!

  11. Peace Joe.
    I was just venting to my wife about how the internet is good in so many ways but completely sucks when it comes to reading a person. The lack of facial expressions and tones of voice make it hard to pin point a persons viewpoint sometimes.
    At the very least, we are both adult enough to recognize our mistakes.

  12. Constituents’ Views on – An Act to amend the Motor Vehicle Safety Act (speed limiters)
    Wednesday 18th June 2008
    http://karygiannismp.com/spip/article.php3?id_article=853
    Almost all commenters are in favour of limiting Canadian cars’ top speed to 150 Km/H. Of course, the practicality of doing so is left to the imagination of the reader. Will certain automobiles simply be banned? Will this create a black market for non speed-limited cars? Will all existing vehicules on the road have to be retro-fitted with speed-limiting devices?

  13. Obama you parse the truth… Not one dime taken from the Medicare Trust Fund, no cuts in Medicare benefits to seniors (+65) BULLSHIT!
    Do not confuse Medicaid ( low income ) with Medicare
    “The Medicare Report shows that the HI (Medicare) Trust Fund could be brought into actuarial balance over the next 75 years by changes equivalent to an immediate 134 percent increase in the payroll tax (from a rate of 2.9 percent to 6.78 percent), or an immediate 53 percent reduction in program outlays, or some combination of the two”
    http://www.ssa.gov/OACT/TRSUM/index.html
    My Information:
    The SS Medicare trust fund presently has 2.4 trillion in missing funds, replaced by Special Government Bonds. The 2009 report only includes the interest on these Bonds. The Congress of the US has a legal opinion that this money does not have to be paid back to those now retired, or those now paying FICA. (They will keep stealing money from FICA)
    The SS & Medicare benefits are paid from FICA collected by employees & Employers for the “retirement” of those employees. ~ 160 Million pay FICA. Excluded groups are some Unions, S Corporations, contract employees, and illegal Aliens ETC.
    Medicare has 4 parts. Part A is standard Hospitalization. Part B includes out patient
    benefits and costs ~$94.per month. Part C is Medicare Advantage; both part A & B may be transferred to an HMO or PPO (Mayo) plan. Part D is the drug plan
    The Congress has targeted 620 Billion to be taken from Medicare. Dropping Medicare Advantage (~230 Billion) and the rest coming from savings by eliminating identifiable fraud in Medicare. (Any saving belong to the Trust Fund)
    The Identifiable fraud (2.4 trillion missing) is the past betrayal by the Congress of the United States, and the attempted betrayal by this Congress & President Obama

  14. Lorraine, thanks for your post. I am sorry to see what I suspected was going to happen when Ignatieff took liberal leadership and when BHO visited here and spent time with him and the liberal Governor general at the time I new who BHO wanted to “lead” Canada. Would not be surprised if ACORN is supporting the Canadian liberal party.I prefer to be wrong in some instances. You can bet there will be money funneled from the US to the liberals to support the snake Ignatieff. Unfortunately, the US often “chooses” Canada’s leaders.

    *”Life without toilet paper is better than you’d think
    Anyone who decides to give up electricity for an entire year to draw attention to climate change has to be a little crazy, right? So how crazy would someone have to be to give up electricity and elevators and toilet paper, along with a million other comforts we take for granted?
    Not that crazy at all, Colin Beavan would tell you. The author, blogger and self-described “guilty liberal” says he did the experiment not as a way to save money or “stick it to the man,” but to answer some fundamental questions.”

    “Barack Obama changes American missile plans in Europe, causing fear among allies
    For the Czech prime minister Jan Fischer, the news came in a call hastily placed by President Barack Obama, shortly after midnight on Thursday in Prague.
    In Warsaw, his Polish counterpart Donald Tusk initially declined to answer the phone from the White House – as he guessed the purpose, from the unusual timing, and wanted to prepare a response.
    Mr Obama last week unveiled the most dramatic national security reversal of his presidency by scrapping his predecessor George W Bush’s planned anti-ballistic missile shield in eastern Europe.
    With this volte face, the Obama administration has brought the curtain firmly down on the Bush doctrine of defiant diplomatic unilateralism and ushered in a new era in which America will seek partners and make compromises on the world stage.”

  22. From the Globe and Mail article posted by Largs at 8:28 AM:
    As for the word queer, Mr. Therien concedes it wasn’t that long ago that it was a really negative word, but now the community is taking it back…
    That’s great, now can the hetero community take back the word “gay”.

  24. On Sept 15th, I was looking at Wiki regarding Lizzy May. I had heard that she had ties to Acorn in Canada. I copied this piece directly from
    Wikipedia: “May was born in Hartford, Connecticut to a British father and American mother; she has a younger brother named Geoffrey.[4][5] Her mother was a prominent anti-nuclear activist and one of the original founders of the peace group SANE while her father was Assistant Vice President of Aetna Life and Casualty.
    Following her defeat, May moved to Ottawa in 1985 where she became active with the Public Interest Advocacy Center, as well as representing Pollution Probe and Friends of the Earth. During this time May helped found the Canadian Environmental Defense Fund with the aim of funding groups and individuals in environmental cases. Also during this time May founded ACORN in Canada.”
    Does it surprise anyone, that yesterday, I went on Wiki and there has been some major editing done to Lizzy’s page, not a word about ACORN, just like it never existed.

  25. MaryM, the change to the Elizabeth May Wiki was made on Sept 15, apparently by someone at ACORN. I posted on SDA about the change here

  27. Glasnost: Thanks for your link to your post. I never remember to do a screen cap when I find these things. I am going to copy your post for future reference. Yeah, it really makes one go hmmmmm, when ACORN is involved. Lizzy May???? this is just getting to creepy. I don’t think they are shedding her, its more like covering up the (her) tracks.

  30. If anything, the video brought back memories of my childhood! I stole my Dad’s truck when I was twelve. It was a 1950 Chevrolet with five window cab, my parents were gone to visit the neighbours. I took off across country, I just wanted to see the world. It was gorgeous October afternoon, I went about 50 miles on dirt roads until I realized I was lost. An old Cowboy riding an appaloosa directed me back the the main grid.
    When I got home, nobody even knew I was gone. I only told dad about five years later. One of my fondest memories. Thanks Vitruvius!

    America has been having hard times recently, Albright said.
    “We have been talking about our exceptionalism during the recent eight years. Now, an average American wants to stay at home – they do not need any overseas adventures. We do not need new enemies,” Albright said adding that Beijing, London and Delhi became a serious competition for Washington and New York.

    OH GIVE ME A BREAK.
    What kind of reporting is this, if not irresponsible, biased, and misleading?? I am not a partisan by any measure, but I smell some awfully biased and yellow journalism here. Canadians are extremely worries about the economy, as they should be, and I see nothing wrong with a government reassuring it’s citizens that they are cognizant of the issue and are taking steps to guide the economy through a rough patch. They economic has also been around for a lot longer than the H1N1 issue has, so it’s only natural that they’ve had more time to spend money on ads relating to the economy. Additionally, much of the efforts being taken to raise awareness of the flu pandemic is being taken by local health authorities and the provinces – you know, the authorities that actually are IN CHARGE of public health care delivery? Health care is a provincial responsibility, not a federal one, and the ‘journalists’ who wrote this article should know this.
    This is the most blatant case of outright yellow journalism I have seen in quite some time. Is CTV suggesting that the evil prime minister doesn’t care if our children get sick? It’s a cheap headline at it’s best and a case of shoddy journalism at it’s worst. We expect better, CTV.”

    You might think a posthumous Medal of Honor award ceremony would be a somber occasion, but not everyone would agree with you. Either this is an especially skillful photo shop effort or Michelle Obama has no clue whatsoever about the nature of this event. U.S. Army Sergeant First Class Jared C. Monti’s parents received the award for him. I hope they didn’t notice the first lady’s stunningly inappropriate dress, but that’s unlikely.”

    Ace links to another blog, that speculates the Breitbart breaking story will be about NEA.
    From Patterico’s Pontifications comes this:
    If I were a betting man, I’d be betting big that the upcoming bombshell will relate to the NEA. You read it here first.
    But I think Breitbart’s overarching target is even bigger than that: the national media as a whole. Just as the media was caught flatfooted by the ACORN scandal, so too will they be rocked back on their heels by the next bombshell.
    Kudos to Andrew Breitbart. He’s making it fun to be a conservative again.”

  38. Yesterday’s Globe and Mail described Calgary talkshow host Dave Rutherford as “right wing”. Okay, badge of honour. But you don’t hear them describing CBC, CTV, or Global employees as left wing TV commentators, do ya? Dave was talking about the treatment dished out to Alberta contract workers in Saint Johm, N.B.,threats, harassment, etc.. Many decided to head back home. Imagine if Fort McMurray were to do the same to all workers from the Maritimes living there? Lots of low-hanging fruit here for western Conservatives here.
