  1. Nausea alert:
    I thought about adding one of those “multicultural pavillions at folkfest” taglines to this, but couldn’t muster the stomach for it: to read this is simply to hurl.
    As always, the silence from the liberal womens’ groups is deafening. Fortunately, Canada has taken a proactive stance to prevent the introduction of arranged child marriages in this country.
    Oh, wait…

  3. An interesting addition to the story Mr.G:
    Anderson, who was born in Toronto but raised in Jamaica, committed the crime 2 1/2 months after returning to Toronto in July 2005.
    He could apply for parole in October 2012.

    And note how the MSM misleads Canadians with their reports on all other so-called “life sentences”.
    “…with no chance of parole for 25 years”, we often hear.
    Given that ANYONE given a “life sentence” can apply for the “faint hope” clause after 15 years, how can it be “no chance” for 25 years?

  9. Why did anyone — are you listening, CTV stooges? — take seriously the TorStar article with allegations that Rahim Jaffer could arrange an “open door” to the PMO for business contacts of dubious reputation?
    From an article (April 8) by Don Martin, of all people:
    “When [Jaffer] signalled plans to attempt a vindication victory in the next election, the top-level response was swift: The prime minister wouldn’t sign his papers, even if he reclaimed the nomination.”

    A preview: [Unlike Abraham Lincoln and Winston Churchill] who used well-crafted sentences to describe ideas, facts, and events, President Obama has developed the revolutionary technique of uttering lofty phrases that have no actual reference points whatsoever in the real world …
    BTW, where is everybody? It’s not that nice out.

    “The End of History and the Last Pope
    By George Neumayr on 4.8.10 @ 6:09AM
    Post-Enlightenment liberalism has long regarded the Catholic Church as the last obstacle to its final triumph. The Enlightenment-era French dilettante Denis Diderot spoke of strangling the last priest with the “guts of the last king.”
    The ceaseless attacks on Pope Benedict XVI over the last few weeks form the most recent scene in this historical drama. Unlike Napoleon, today’s forces of secularization can’t imprison a pope. Well, at least not yet; Christopher Hitchens is working on this, calling for the European Union to seize Benedict’s traveling papers. But they can strangle him politically and culturally. That his popularity poll numbers have apparently dipped below those of the most inane and rancid celebrities testifies to this perverse power.
    The children of Diderot at the New York Times understand the secularist Enlightenment project very well. Its executive editor, Bill Keller, telegraphed this in a 2002 column.
    Since he wrote the column before he was promoted to editor, he didn’t bother to hide his anti-Catholic bigotry with circumspect throat-clearing. He described himself as a “collapsed Catholic” — “well beyond lapsed.” He affected a false modesty about this, saying that for this reason he claims “no voice in whom the church ordains or how it prays or what it chooses to call a sin.” But of course he does claim that voice — and thinks all should obey it.
    He made it clear that he was rooting for “reforms” that would reduce Catholicism to a captive of modern liberalism: “…the struggle within the church is interesting as part of a larger struggle within the human race, between the forces of tolerance and absolutism.”
    In that one sentence lies the whole subtext to the paper’s campaign against Pope Benedict in the last few weeks. The Holy Father represents for Keller and Dowd and Goodstein the hated “forces of absolutism” that the tolerant and enlightened think themselves called by history to stop.
    For an elite drunk on its own enlightenment, the ends will always justify the means against religion.”

    “Obama leaves WH without press, breaking protocol
    President Barack Obama quietly breached years of protocol on Saturday morning by leaving the White House without the press with him.
    About two hours before reporters were supposed to be in position to leave with the president, Obama left the grounds of the White House. Members of the press were told he was attending one of his daughter’s soccer games in northwest Washington, D.C.
    The White House press corps traditionally travels with the president anywhere he goes, inside and outside the country, to report on the president’s activities for the benefit of informing the public and for historical record.
    After Obama left, a press aide hastily gathered members of the media who happened to be at the White House early or working on other matters. They rushed to a van and left the White House to catch up with the president.
    Too late. By the time, the press van appeared to arrive at the president’s location, the press was told he was already departing. Time to go back to the White House.
    Reporters and photographers didn’t have a chance to see him or his vehicle to verify his presence at any location.
    Although nobody outside the White House or the press may have noticed, Obama broke years of tradition.”

  13. Via maz2: ” … Obama broke years of tradition.”
    He seems to be good at breaking stuff: promises, protocols, alliances, trust with the American people …
    His term as President already seems interminably long. What a disaster.

    A helicopter carrying German tourists was buried by an avalanche yesterday in the Kamchatka peninsula in Russia, killing at least four of 18 people on board. Eight survivors were pulled from the snow. The helicopter was on the ground at the time.

    A French explorer has made the first Arctic crossing by balloon, landing in Siberia five days after taking off in Norway. Jean-Louis Etienne, 63, had planned to land in Alaska but a snowstorm changed his course.”

    “Feet of Snow Expected in Mountains of California
    Apr 10, 2010; 2:23 PM ET
    A late-season storm system will bring heavy snow and high winds to the mountains of California Sunday into Monday, rendering travel nearly impossible in some areas. Some elevations over 5,000 feet will pick up several feet of snow by the end of the day Monday.
    While travelers will not appreciate the snow, ski resort owners and winter sports enthusiasts sure will.”
