Hey, Vitruvius, I was so bleary-eyed this morning, I saw only Nat King Cole and Stardust and completely missed your reference to BATB!! Ai, yai, yai. What an ungrateful wretch, eh?
What a guy, that Nat King Cole. ‘No voice like his, smooth like silk, and such an easy, relaxed demeanor.
THANK YOU!
Did I mention at one point that my favourite Nat King Cole song is “Passing By”? ‘Not a criticism, BTW! ‘Can’t locate it at YouTube.
have a look at the Vid on ctv.ca for the Federal Annoucement funding for the Toronto Library
The annoucement’s made by the PM & Mayor are what Canadians need to see & hear, Different levels of Govt working together for all Canadians. Mayor Miller has praise for the PM Stephen Harper & The PM also Recipicates what can be done when working together.
Have a look also at the Vid on The PM takes Questions, At the end a reporter ask’s about Opposition Allegations of Federal funding going more to Tory ridings, The PM gives a straight forward answer, The crowd appreciates the answer with applause & you can hear Mayor Miller in the background saying: Good Answer. Then at the end of the wrap up Mayor Miller goes to PM Harper to shake hands the Mic is still on And again you hear Mayor Miller say: That was a great answer.
The PM basicaly said if the Opposition MP’s would get off their Duffs and try working for their constituents & stop the Belly Aching More would get done in these Uncertain time’s . Anyways the answer was so impressive the crowd applauded loudly & Miller was very Impressed. Just another reason Why Canadians are appreciating the PM more & more.
Seeing the commentary around Ol’ Topsoil Stelmach (it ain’t positive), I was reminded about the $2 billion he’s blowing into the sails of (ahem), Party men and lobbyists.
Or, just maybe, Topsoil(ed) and Getty were fraternal twins, separated by birth, born behind a barn in Andrew. All that was needed for the reunion between them was a large dose of taxpayer cash.
Ladies and Gentlemen, the Wildrose’s next campaign slogan:
Getty lines up for a share of $2B carbon-storage fund
CALGARY – Former premier Don Getty is lining up to scoop up some of the government’s $2 billion for carbon capture and storage in Alberta, as questions grow over how the cash will be allocated.
By The Edmonton Journal
CALGARY – Former premier Don Getty is lining up to scoop up some of the government’s $2 billion for carbon capture and storage in Alberta, as questions grow over how the cash will be allocated.
Getty is part owner and chairman of Capital Reserve Canada Ltd., a company that’s planning to use 250 salt caverns to bury and store upwards of 113 million tonnes of carbon dioxide from oilsands production. Getty believes the salt mines project located near Two Hills, 110 kilometres east of Edmonton, is a perfect fit for provincial dollars.
“It will help us dramatically,” Getty said. “It’s exactly what’s needed in this carbon- dioxide control. We’re just sitting there thrilled by the program.”…….

Oooooo. ‘Thrilled’. I bet
Add: to the prior Post When asked about Tory Favorites, The PM drew great laughter & applause also more or less saying to the Reporter, Iam here in the Middle of Toronto, how many tory ridings here in Toronto. Then indicating 4 major annoucements 3 in Opposition Ridings, Mayor Miller points out that over 500 projects with help from the feds.for infrastructure in Toronto Miller greatly thanks the PM on behalf of all of Toronto.
Again Great Vid a must view at CTV.ca.

“Government website links to Harper piano video; Libs outraged
The Canadian Press – 13 minutes ago
OTTAWA – What does Stephen Harper playing a piano and crooning a Beatles tune have to do with stimulating the sputtering economy? That’s what Liberals want to know after discovering that a federal website – ostensibly designed to inform Canadians about (googlenews)

*”A sense of entitlement – the bane of Liberals
A Clear View
Given the ignominious situation the federal Liberals find themselves regarding the Montreal constituency of Outremont, it’s clear what the party’s problem is – party powerbrokers are too caught up with their sense of entitlement.
Specifically when it comes to the ‘hissy’ fit between former cabinet minister Martin Cauchon and then Liberal Quebec lieutenant Denis Coderre.
From 1993 Cauchon was the MP for Outrement until he quit in 2004. His successor was Jean Lapierre, who resigned in 2007.
In all too typically Liberal fashion, then party leader Stephane Dion appointed Jocelyn Coulon as the party’s candidate for the Sept. 2007 by-election. Coulon lost to current MP Thomas Mulcair of the NDP.
In wanting to get back into federal politics Cauchon felt entitled to be the Liberal candidate for Outremont come the next federal election.
Being a ‘Chretien-ite’ from the absurd John Turner-Jean Chretien feud didn’t help Cauchon.”

Canadian broadband blasted by Harvard study
Thursday, October 15, 2009 | 5:38 PM ET Peter Nowak, CBC News
Canada rates poorly in a Harvard study that measures adoption, capacity and prices. (IStock)Canada has some of the poorest high-speed internet service in the developed world and is an example of what not to do from a policy perspective, according to a study by Harvard University.
The 232-page study, commissioned by American regulators and released Wednesday evening, found that Canada rates poorly compared to peer countries when measures such as national broadband adoption, network capacity and prices are taken into account.
Canada was 22nd overall out of 30 countries surveyed by Harvard’s Berkman Center for Internet and Society. Canada ranked 16th on broadband adoption, 20th on speed and capacity, and 25th on price. Japan, Sweden and South Korea headed up Harvard’s rankings, while the United States placed above Canada at 13th overall.
Canada “is often thought of as a very high performer, based on the most commonly used benchmark of penetration per 100 inhabitants,” the study said. “Because our analysis includes important measures on which Canada has had weaker outcomes — prices, speeds and 3G mobile broadband penetration — in our analysis it shows up as quite a weak performer, overall.”
Well. Somebody’s got your back, right? What about Rogers Communications – and what to they say about all of this? Bad data? Incorrect analysis?
“On another ethical front Friday, a non-partisan group asked the ethics, lobbyist and elections commissioners to investigate a fundraiser organized for Tory MP Rick Dykstra.
Democracy Watch said Dykstra hosted 60 “friends” last month in the owner’s box at Toronto’s Roger’s Centre for a Blue Jays baseball game. The donors got tickets to the game, access to the owner’s suite, food and drinks, an opportunity to attend batting practice and meetings with unidentified federal cabinet ministers and Blue Jays players.
The group wants to know what, if anything, Dykstra or the party paid for the various perks – particularly the owner’s box which can’t be rented and is only used with permission of owner Rogers Communications Inc., a company which lobbies the federal government…..”
Mr. Minister, can I offer you another hot dog?
