  5. Re: H1N1, I got both shots 5 days ago in Burnaby after a 5 minute wait, then today in the Globe and Mail, I read that Suzuki backs the shots. Is there any way I can expel the stuff w/o a total blood drain? It’s either that or agreeing with him. Actually, I do on this single matter. Of course Jann Arden is opposed and that makes me feel better. Like anyone cares what they think.

  12. Toronto Star, Saturday. An editorial lambastes PM Harper’s “tardy” visits to India and China.
    Says the editorial: “In the case of China, he apparently came to office with a chip on his shoulder about that country’s human rights record. Early in his first term, Harper said he would not sell out Canadian values to ‘the almighty dollar’ in pursuing relations with China. As for India, the world’s biggest democracy, there is no parallel explanation.”
    So a principled position on human rights abuses is a sign of “a chip on the shoulder”? Does standing up for “Canadian values” mean ignoring abuses now?
    The idiots who write Star editorials seem to think that prosperity comes from government. It doesn’t; it comes from productivity, trade and the profit motive. There are plenty of Canadians who are willing to trade with other nations; they’re called businessmen. There is no need for government to be involved, including the PM.

    Yes its a WA state problem, but similar to MI state as in IAM workers and UAW.
    There has been a lot of labor strife at Boeing in the past 10 yrs and South Carolina is a right to work state. (for now)
    “On Wednesday, Boeing announced it would put a second 787 assembly line in Charleston, S.C., rather than Everett, WA.
    Union leaders and politicians like Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., expressed shock, dismay and outrage at the company’s decision.
    Either they are feigning surprise, or they’ve been comatose for the last decade. Your guess is as good as mine.”
    The comments are pretty enlightening.

    Starting Monday, November 2, 2009, the H1N1 vaccine will be limited to those most at risk from H1N1:
    * Pregnant women.
    * Children under five years of age
    * Healthcare workers in district health authorities, long-term care facilities and homecare agencies who provide direct care to patients. …
    * First Nations communities
    Has anyone wondered why “First Nations communities” have gone to the head of the line, even in urban areas?

    ‘Do we turn them away?’: Officials confront ethical dilemma”
    “But when word of the weekend clinic got out, some hospital employees brought along their family members, many of whom had been turned away from long lineups at the vaccination clinics run by the city’s public-health department.
    The situation created a dilemma for the hospital.”

    First Nations are at a disproportionate much higher risk for complications due to H1N1 than other racial groups. This is true for all infectious respiratory diseases (including the 1918 flu pandemic) and includes the Inuit of Canada, in Alaska, in Greenland and even in Australia. This might be due to overcrowding, underlying disease, lack of exposure to other flu bugs or to genetic predisposition. Some research I read in the past on Greenland Eskimo populations seem to point to genetic causes as a possibility.

  22. Re clairvoyant @ 9:37: Wouldn’t that be strikingly similar to, hmmm, a coalition?
    We haven’t seen the last of that craptastic experiment yet.

  23. Heard this on BT this morning.
    According to the socialists on breakfast television (channel 13 Vancouver)
    Canadians love 0bama.
    86% of Canadians approve of the big 0.
    They never asked me, I can tell you that.

  24. Re: Valencia’s answer to Roseberry. Or it could be about racial politics, or the fact that they have come to depend on the big Nanny to look after all their needs, a lack of cleanliness, alcoholism, indolence, and toadying politicians. Why do the Olympic medals fail to include any symbol of Canada?

    Byers claims its not a coalition because the parties would run separately but not in the same ridings.
    According to him, the Canadian public is not happy that they elected a party with 40% of the vote, thus his brilliant idea.
    He doesn’t explain why Canadians would be happier being governed by one party with 25%, backed by another with about 15%, but I guess that’s not important.
    His calculations tell him that with this sytem, the Liberals could expect to gain 40 seats and maybe a majority…huh??…The last I looked, the Liberals would need almost 80 new seats to get a majority.
    again, typical Dipper, weak on facts and math.

  28. Clair Voyant,
    More and faster please. They wont get the result they want and will face a significant Con government.
    Please, lets have it out so we can resolve it. It also means the death of the Liberal Party, which won’t be a bad thing.

  30. Stephen
    Yes!…Agree whole-heartedly!
    I would love to see Harper bring forth a motion to ditch the gun registry and make it a matter of confidence.
    Or make the socialists eat a poison pill to do with global warming.
    Mr. Harper, pull the trigger please.
    Put the whiners out of their misery!

  31. Looks like the revolving door between the lobbyists (Da Blowboys) and the PMO (Da Blowees) is well lubricated, and spinning freely.
    Say now, wasn’t that Accountability Act supposed to deal with this? (astute SDA readers will recall the Act came forward without this campaign promise intact. N’est ce pas? Merci beaucoup Monsiuer Fortier).
    Aside from his $150k office reno, what ever DID he do?
    Turns out there may have been another good reason for the ostensible cooling off: Meet PMO’s new deputy director of government communication, Dan Robertson, who was, until very very recently, a member of the team at Navigator Limited. I mean, recently enough that he’s still listed on the Navigator webpage, although I suspect the link to his bio may go dead soon after this post goes up.
    Those of us who covered the Oliphant Commission will remember Dan — he was one of the those junior Robin Searses who would sit at the back of the room, boring holes into the backs of reporters at the media table when they weren’t jubilantly sharing their thoughts on the latest developments with the twitterverse. He was also involved in Navigator’s efforts on behalf of Michael Bryant. It’s not clear exactly when he left the firm for a berth in the increasingly crowded PMO comm department, nor whether his imminent arrival through the revolving door may have had something to do with the edict on Navigator that allegedly went down at Langevin last week.

  35. “Hedy Fry, the Liberal MP for Vancouver Centre, suggested on Thursday that members of Parliament should get their own H1N1 clinic on Parliament Hill– which presumably would allow MPs and their staff to receive the swine-flu vaccine on a priority basis, ahead of ordinary citizens. Her reasoning? “MPs are at risk:We shake hands with people I don’t know how many times a day.””
