About fifteen years ago I was walking on a dirt road just north of Hinton, Alberta when I saw Great Grey Owl sitting not more then twenty-five feet away on a fence post. I was floored by its shockingly (to me) large size, striking facial expression and unperturbed demeanor; I suspect that anyone who’s been fortunate enough to see an owl at fairly close range would agree that they are amazing and beautiful creatures. Tonight’s amusement, from the same folks at Peterson Field Guides who brought us the previously featured video about woodpeckers, is an interesting and informative short video about our feathered friends the Owls.
You are invited, as always, to provide your Reader Tips in the comments.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper:
“Let me be clear: We are a land of refuge, but at the same time I think Canadians are pretty concerned when a whole boat of people comes — not through any normal application process, not through any normal arrival channel — and just simply lands. We will not hesitate to strengthen the laws if we have to because ultimately, as a government and as a fundamental exercise of our sovereignty, we are responsible for the security of our borders.”
“Grey owls”
It really is a shocking contrast to look into natures eyes after years of looking into the eye’s of dull prescription medicated libtards and thier strawberry field dreams!
There was a time that we all had some fire in our belly’s out west.
I was going to confirm the massive impression one gets when first seeing any of the Great Owls at close range, but Knight 99 puts a so much better perspective on it.
I have had the pleasure of seeing a number of burrowing owls while on hikes the last couple of years. The first time I saw one, I thought some kid had lost their stuffed animal on the bush trail – they are quite cute and rather small.
One day, as a young man growing up on a farm, Dad decided to peek into an owl’s nest. After he lost his hat he received several talon induced cuts on his scalp. After that he gave owls a wide berth. I suppose the injury wouldn’t have been too bad except that Grampa was lying on the ground laughing at him.
I have a quick story for you all, which we can file under the title of “The Mystery of the Leftist Mind”
I had a very interesting discussion last week with a dear friend of mine in Portland, Oregon. She’s a good person, a faithful wife, a mother of two young boys, and a hard working saleswoman. She also consistently votes Democrat. We were in downtown Portland and she pulled her son out of the way as a heroin-inflicted drug addict stumbled by. She then told him to never do drugs so he wouldn’t end up like that.
I then interjected: “You know how you told your friend earlier how you & I are on opposite ends of the political spectrum? I actually don’t think we are. When it comes to individual issues, I think we’re pretty much identical. Take this drug addict. I think your views of him are the same as mine and this was proven by what you just said to your son.”
She responded, “Well I wasn’t judging him, but was just telling my son not to become like him.”
“Of course you were judging him,” I said, “but there’s nothing wrong with that! You made a judgment that you don’t want your son to become a drug addict and were using this lost soul as an example why.”
She was perplexed by what I said and I could tell would not let herself admit that she had possibly not treated all people equally.
Such is the mystery of why otherwise intelligent people vote for nonsensical Leftist policies & parties.
My head was proverbially spun around earlier this evening by something I could have never imagined another human being would ever possibly say.
I was arguing with a fellow about whether the Ground Zero Mosque should be built. He said … and I’m quoting his words accurately: “Your objection to the mosque is as insensitive to Muslims as would be your objections to a child molester moving onto your street.”
So now I’m not allowed to have feelings of disgust & outrage towards CHILD MOLESTERS?!?
If Leftism is not a yet undiagnosed mental disease then I must believe a theory that a friend of mine in Texas, James Wright, has frequently said on his weekly podcast: “Leftists live in an entirely different reality than you and me.”
David Warren:
“We are lucky, for the moment, to have a party in power that owes nothing to the Tamil Tigers. For the Liberals, the sham of ‘compassion’ extended to fundraising events with their goons, and the settled party understanding that any large, fairly desperate, and culturally exotic pool of welfare-propending immigrants will make reliable Liberal voting fodder. Hence side-splitting expostulations of compassion.
“Hence, a Canadian immigration system that is actually designed to be dysfunctional, and advertises opportunities for abuse. It is no accident that it takes very little time to become a fully-voting Canadian citizen, but a lot of time to deport even the most flagrantly illegal visitor to this country, once he has ‘opted’ to stay. It is no accident that an immense vested interest has been assembled in the form of immigration lawyers, who will scream pink bluster when their own gravy train is impeded.
“The Liberals built and own Canada’s immigration system, together with the justifying public policy of ‘multiculturalism,’ that the Trudeau government summoned while pointing a demographic hose at major English-speaking urban areas, back in the 1970s. We take it for granted that no Tory today can hope to win a seat in Toronto or Vancouver, or any other dense urban environment. This result did not come about naturally.”
Not a tip but it made me smile. GW’s Miss Me Yet is outselling bambam’s stuff in Martha’s Vinyard. Maybe he will get to see a lot of them on vacation.
It’s not really a question, whether or not the Liberal establishment and thier lunatic ideals of morality and justice will endeavor to destroy western civilization.
The question is, will right thinking people stand up for this genocide of thier culture, or sit around complaining like the domesticated livestock they’ve become?
In the end everyone losses Conservative, Liberal, right, left, libitarian, constitutionalist, taxpayers and welfare recipients alike. The only difference is the minds that can recognize the threats, and what will become of the western nations if this crazy Liberal ideology of a global third world is not stopped.
Because that’s what it is – equality for all people, regardless of the fact that realistically it means “equally poor”.
Now how disturbed is that? Unlike the protective owl in nature that will long outlive mankind to be sure, we are led to the slaughter like domesticated pigs, and do so willingly.
EBD – yes, contrast Harper’s preservation of Canadian borders and its rule of law – with Obama’s action of refusing to protect the US border and refusing to support the US rule of law on immigration.
And yes – the Liberals brought in ‘groups’ rather than individuals of immigrants, treated them as collectives, supported them as identity groups and expected them all to vote Liberal.
Again I point out that our election laws theoretically require that one be a citizen to vote, but the actual election action does not require one to show proof of citizenship.
I’ve observed quite a few federal and provincial elections and seen people who are not on the voter’s registration list, be put on that list and allowed to vote. They need not provide any proof of citizenship. Only residency.
That is – they could provide a driver’s licence which does not require citizenship. Or, two envelopes, bills, from, eg, Bell Telephone or Hydro, with their name and address. Just two. And they are put on the registration list and allowed to vote. Voting has nothing to do with citizenship. Now – how many of these immigrant collectives have voted in this manner? And – for the Liberals – who have bought their vote with their funding of their community centres, their welfare, their settlement assistance and so on.
“Leftists live in an entirely different reality than you and me.”
Quite true. The gun control issue playing out in Canada is a perfect example of this. It’s all part of a basic lieberal philosophy that denies personal responsibility and blames everything bad on something else. For them, inanimate objects have personalities that make innocent people do evil things.
There’s no reasoning with them, they know how they feel and don’t want to be confused with facts they can’t understand.
I read in a comment on a blog that Obamacare includes in its many pages of regulations a specific exemption for religious reasons from having to buy insurance. This would mean non-Muslims would be subsidizing Muslims (and possibly Jehovah’s Witnesses) who don’t believe in ‘usury’. Anybody know if this is true?

ET @11:04- “…their settlement assistance and so on.”
I don’t believe it would even stop there. Outright ‘cash for your vote’ wouldn’t be beneath either participant. And you gotta know, lots of them aren’t exactly teeming with ducats.

Like you EBD, I had an encounter with a Great Grey in Duluth, Minnesota about twenty years ago. He was literally feet away on a fence post and very calm. It’s something I will never forget. But you know, the natives say that an encounter with an owl is a premonition of death.
Liberals would not appologise for moving a hundred Inuit to a cold, barron place in Canada’s high Artic. And Why should they, Liberals never do anything WRONG.
Roy Green had a fascinating discussion today with John Wright (beginning at 34:05): http://www.corusradio.com/Shared/AudioVault/CJOBAMaudioVault.asp?VaultDate=20100818&VaultTime=13&mysubmit=Listen
If focused on the forthcoming financial crisis & debate in Canada.
Are most Canadians ready for this new reality? Not a chance. Sadly, I predict that a responsible reaction to this reality will bring down right-of-centre governments across our country and bring in ones on the left that will borrow-borrow-borrow to delay the inevitable.
Robert W – 1209 – exactly. What a miraculous world we lived in just after introduction of free trade. We got products that we had lusted after for a long time – and for a ridiculously low price.
Sure, some manufacturing jobs went overseas – but look at our standard of living – most of us lived like kings and queens of old.
The only problem – in the longer run, the “others'” standard of living had to come up, and “ours” had to come down, which surprised quite a few.
Let me get this right. When the CBC deletes a pro Conservative and/or pro-right comment, it’s called protectionism. When EBD deletes a comment, it’s called what again?? As a matter of fact, on a scale of 100, I would say I’ve had more comments deleted at SDA than on any “Leftist” site. You Cons are all wind!! nothing else!
My father and I drove to Saskatchewan in mid-winter a long time ago – and I was treated to a ten hour drive in an uninterrupted canvas of white. Boring!
Then my dad asked me – how many snowy owls did you see? (Answer, none). Then I started looking. The “piles of white snow” on the top of telephone poles were indeed snowies – it was their migration – I can’t even remember how many I counted.
How much else in the world don’t I see??
Nicola Timmerman @1119 – please feel free to join my “church of libertarianism” – which is of course by no means a “flag of convenience”.
“When EBD deletes a comment, it’s called what again??” – Joe Citizen ‘X’
It’s called deleting a dumb, prurient, racist joke disguised – poorly – as an apocryphal story.
Doug, I believe its when the owl calls your name that you are done for..!
*****
My sister relates a tale about an idyllic evening on the dock, at her cottage near Peterborough..
..about the small rabbit that wandered to the edge of the water..and was immediately snatched by the biggest frik’in owl anyone had ever seen..!
Old timers and year round cottagers said between the hawks and the owls, they had denuded the area of all bunnies, squirrels, cats etc..
EBD
I will sign an affidavit with a pen in one hand and a bible in the other that what i wrote about hitting that owl with my F-100 is the whole truth!
PS: Knight 99 wrote at 10:04 PM:
“It really is a shocking contrast to look into natures eyes after years of looking into the eyes of dull precription medicated libtards and their strawberry field dreams!” (End of quote.)
So how does EDB rate that derogatory comment? Why wasn’t it deleted.
Robert W. @ 10:26 p.m.: “So now I’m not allowed to have feelings of disgust & outrage towards CHILD MOLESTERS?!?”
This commment caught my eye because it exemplifies the way the left tries to manipulate emotions while disregarding reason. The entire “political correctness” agenda relies on encouraging people, especially the less emotionally stable specimens, to be “offended” by all manner of things, most of them too trivial for a normal person to notice. Meanwhile proper, justifiable emotional reactions such as you describe are considered negative or degrading.
Look, Citizen ‘X’, you have a habit of posting racist crap in Reader Tips threads, always in the form of a personal “anecdote.” When I posted the Judee Sill song “Jesus Was a Crossmaker” you made some dumb joke about burning a cross on someone’s lawn; when I deleted it, you posted the identical comment under the video at the YouTube site, apropos of nothing, in the middle of a bunch of thoughtful comments about Judee Sill.
This isn’t a repository for racist one-liners – a “chinaman” offering to buy the dead owl for “fy dollah” – that you think are funny.
Say “Reader Tips.” Repeat as necessary.
Erik Larsen, it is a pleasure every winter to see the snowy owls hunting and taking a break on the tops of the power poles. No doubt they can see quite a distance and spot their next lunch.
It is sad to see how the post 1968 Liberals so called values have penetrated almost every part of our society.
EBD – well, ouch, re Citizen X’s comment. That sounds like an unpleasant anecdote, whether apocryphal or true. There is no point to it, other than to divide. Based on the evidence presented by EBD, sorry Citizen X, I don’t like it.
Far be it from me to have the right to defend Mr X, but on another topic I have thought long and hard about the term “Chinaman”. Now, I don’t really speak Mandarin or Cantonese, but I tried to learn the Chinese characters a while ago – hopeless, I was too old – but the written term for a native Chinese person was a combination of two characters – China + Man. (Those who are not self-taught, please correct me).
So, as an ideogram (correct term? – let me know if that’s incorrect thanks!!).
Who owns these terms? Like niggardly? (another long discussion).
Can I be equally offended if I’m called stereotypicaly a “white man in a suit”?
Let us all remember – if we live in nations where these types of things are our biggest problem, we are very fortunate indeed.
Sadly, these types of things aren’t our biggest problem – we are all whistling past the graveyard.
I remember hearing about how smart Kennedy (JF) was because of his book “Why England Slept”.
Shall we ever have another similar book “Why the West Slept”??
OK – dead thread. As mentioned previously – I said to my daughters – Teddy Kennedy died. The response was “Who?”.
I then asked about RFK and JFK – and the response was – who?
So – we all live in a bubble. We think that the things that happen during our lifetime are important, which they may be.
I love owls.
I live in Delta, BC, which is essentially a bedroom suburb of Vancouver, although mercifully separated from Vancouver by about 15 miles of protected farmland.
A block from my house is a very large forested, natural park, known as the watershed; it is about 1200 acres. Each day I would take my beloved golden retriever there for a six mile walk…my clients knew not to call me between 10 am and noon…I was with my dog.
Three years ago, perhaps due to the forest fires in the interior of BC, we experienced a large number of Great Grey owls in the watershed.
I was stunned by the sheer size and beauty of these magnificent birds.
I could always locate them by listening to the robins, who, during nesting season, go nuts when an owl was closer than the robin wished them to be proximate to their nest.
It was interesting to see a couple of robins, probably weighing less than a pound, essentially dive bomb, continually, what appeared to be about a 25 pound owl. The robins were fearless.
Nothing significant to this story…but nature is often fascinating.

“Entering a Death Spiral?
Tensions Rise in Greece as Austerity Measures Backfire”
“The austerity measures that were supposed to fix Greece’s problems are dragging down the country’s economy. Stores are closing, tax revenues are falling and unemployment has hit an unbelievable 70 percent in some places. Frustrated workers are threatening to strike back.
The feast of the Assumption of Mary on Aug. 15 is the high point of summer in the Greek Orthodox world. Here in one of the country’s many churches, believers pray to the Virgin for mercy, with many of them falling to their knees.
The newspaper Ta Nea has recommended that the Greek government adopt the very same approach — the country’s leaders have to hope that Mary comes up with a miracle to save Greece from a serious crisis, the paper writes. Without divine intervention, the newspaper suggested, it will be a difficult autumn for the Mediterranean state.
This dire prognosis comes even despite Athens’ massive efforts to sort out the country’s finances. The government’s draconian austerity measures have managed to reduce the country’s budget deficit by an almost unbelievable 39.7 percent, after previous governments had squandered tax money and falsified statistics for years. The measures have reduced government spending by a total of 10 percent, 4.5 percent more than the EU and International Monetary Fund (IMF) had required.
The problem is that the austerity measures have in the meantime affected every aspect of the country’s economy. Purchasing power is dropping, consumption is taking a nosedive and the number of bankruptcies and unemployed are on the rise. The country’s gross domestic product shrank by 1.5 percent in the second quarter of this year. Tax revenue, desperately needed in order to consolidate the national finances, has dropped off. A mixture of fear, hopelessness and anger is brewing in Greek society.”

1.The Winter in Copenhagen is a bit cold.
It was all forecastable. Owing to each parties different interests and priorities, the Copenhagen Climate Change Conference (4C) was never going to result in a legally binding agreement.
The 4C was called, “The last chance to save humanity”. If humanity did not limit Carbon Dioxide emissions, “the planet is only 6 degrees away from catastrophe” etc. That the 4C did not reach any definitive final agreement left many disappointed and anxious, as every media outlet reported.
From newspapers, TV, and internet we often hear some frightening predictions. Along with the relentless increase in Greenhouse Gases, the unceasing warming of the entire world, large scale extinctions, melting of the Alaskan ice, Pacific islands that are on the verge of sinking in to the sea, the unceasing expansion of the Inner Mongolian desert and the shrinking of the Peruvian glaciers. ….
But there is a certain distance between reality and people’s fears. The cold winter weather at Copenhagen left a deep impression on attendees.
For the first few days of the conference, the winter wind wailed outside, and the last few days was pretty much full of big snowflakes swirling around, the snow reached a depth of 10 cm. As the 4C was in session, large parts of Germany were suffering heavy snowfall, with temperatures hitting minus 10. A lake in Bavaria even hit minus 33, the lowest recorded in Europe. 4 Eurostar trains halted under the English Channel in the emergency channel. This was the first time in 15 years that this kind of incident had occured; the doors of some intercity trains in Germany were frozen shut.
Far away Asia was also in the grip its usual cold winter.
At the end of December 2009, a gust of wind hit China. In the space of one night, in the northern part of Xinjiang, the temperature dropped below minus 30. At the start of 2010, the temperature in Beijing hit minus 16, the lowest recorded temperature for the last 40 years.
It was as if the freezing cold winter was having a laugh at all of these “Global Warming” theories. If the world was warming at an ever quickening pace, as all of these environmentalists say, then whence from such extreme cold? Whenever there are any doubts about Global Warming, it is almost as though environmentalists turn everything around and claim that this is too, a result of Global Warming. The Greenhouse Effect has turned in to a big basket, no matter what bad thing it is, just chuck it in.
In contrast to the freezing weather at Copenhagen, the atmosphere at the talks was still firey hot. America, Europe and also many Developing Countries, engaged in many excitable discussions about how to reduce Carbon Dioxide Emissions.
Copenhagen attracted over 5000 reporters, 110 national leaders, in total there were 15000 attendees. It was the largest 4C in history. Including Conference attendance and related travel arrangements, 46200 tuns of Carbon Dioxide were emitted. This is equivalents to the average annual carbon footprint of 50,000 Ethiopians and could fill 10,000 Olympic swimming pools. The Conference that was convened as a way to reduce Carbon Dioxide Emissions, was itself a big culprit. Was this not adding a layer of frost on the surface of fragile snow?”

Knight 99 @ 10:51 P.M.: “[Liberal ideology] is – equality for all people, regardless of the fact that realistically it means ‘equally poor’.”
Well, equally poor for “us” but not for “them.” ‘You think Chretien, Martin, Strong, Desmarais, Rae, Ignatieff, et al. intend to live poor?
WRONG! Their ideology is getting rid of the middle class which will leave us like all third world countries, where 20% of the people (the rich ones) live on 80% of the wealth, while 80% of the people (the poor ones) live on 20%.
That’s where the Libtards are taking us. Hey, it works for them.

Not trying to link dump…
Please pass this on…
More and more criticisms of Obama, Here’s one on American Thinker ‘Just How Smart is Obama?’. After all, the MSM constantly gush about Obama’s intelligence. But – is he?
“How hard was it to predict that endless golf-cum-basketball outings, musical soirées at the White House, and vacation upon vacation in posh spots, culminating in Michelle’s Spanish junket and a forthcoming stay in the elitist retreat of Martha’s Vineyard, would be a major irritant to the people hard-hit by the recession or an undermining influence on the president’s popularity? A callous disregard for the proles? Obviously. But how astute is it? Not very, for in-your-face arrogance has never been a mark of intelligence.
Add to this Obama’s obvious economic ignorance, his glaring naiveté in international affairs, his boundless faith in the power of his oratory, his intellectual laziness, his intrinsic indecisiveness smacking of childish belief in the power of wish (close your eyes and the bad stuff will just go away), his political tin-ear — are these the attributes of a genius? Sorry, Obama fans, what it all adds up to is an immature narcissist, an utterly inexperienced tyro, devoid of administrative ability, lacking political skills…a radical ideologue, who apparently believes that the job of president boils down to an incessant gabfest.
So with compliments to General Schwarzkopf: As far as Barack Obama being smart as a whip goes, he has no clue in economics, nor has he any understanding of foreign policy; he is supremely arrogant and doesn’t care if it rubs people the wrong way; he has few political skills and no administrative ability, nor does he have any desire to engage in the day-to-day drudgery of ruling, preferring to reign instead; and he revels in the luxury of presidential perks and delights in flaunting his excess. Other than that, he is a true genius. ”
I think this says it all. As Obama retreats more and more to vacations and controlled campaign events he becomes unreachable by the public. (Doesn’t he ever work? Read the bills, analyze them? Just vacation and scripted campaigns?)
So who can the public reach? Congress. Obama will let Congress take the fall.
CBC rewrites Saskatchewan history once again:
http://www.cbc.ca/money/story/2010/08/18/f-vp-pittis-potash-corp.html#socialcomments#ixzz0x3uWNAon
“The list of existing Crown corporations is long, created by governments at every level and of every stripe. And many other successful Canadian companies, now listed on the stock market, began as government instruments of economic growth.
Potash Corp. is just one example. Others include CN; Air Canada; Cameco, the giant uranium producer; and Canadair.”
====
Potash Corp was formed by the NDP nationalizing the existing potash mines, Cameco was formed by buying esisting uranium miners.
So I guess they didn’t actually begin as crown corporations, and they certainly didn’t thrive as crowns, Potash corp had a debt of $800 million when it was sold.
Other than that though…

Quite true!
I was thinking more of the useful idiots on the left not so much the big wigs (politicians) when I wrote earlier. But you are of course correct, I’ve never seen a Socialist dictator in any third world, Asian, South American, in the past and the present, not eat well. They always manage the limos and mansions as the great multitudes starve. Yet modern socialists in the west assume it can be done better.
(again not the politicians, they all would love socialism if they could get away with it).

At least when I do make racest comments they are true!
Like the other day I mentioned all the idiot white people out there that suffer from “white guilt”. Deragatory and stereo typing thus conforming to a racist comment. No one minds providing that you are bashing Libs, christians, “fundamental Islam” (but not Muslims), and white people, this is the world we live in. That’s why you Need to be very specific about exercising your “freedom of speech” to insure you don’t really say what’s on your mind.

“More Americans believe Obama is Muslim
AFP ^ | August 19 2010 | AFP
Nearly one in five respondents on the survey said they believed he is a practitioner of Islam, while only 34 percent of Americans correctly identified him as a Christian, down sharply from a year earlier.
The poll was conducted by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life.
Meanwhile, the percentage of people who say they are unsure what religion Obama practices has risen to 43 percent, from 34 percent a year ago.
The poll found one third of conservative Republicans believe Obama is a Muslim, a figure that has nearly doubled. But the president’s faith was incorrectly identified by rising numbers of Democrats and independents too.
Some 18 percent of independent voters thought Obama was Muslim, up eight percentage points, and fewer than half the president’s Democratic supporter believe him to be a Christian.
The Pew survey polled 3,003 respondents between July 21 and August 5, and had a plus-or-minus 2.5 percent sampling error.”

Obama is not as dumb as some would suppose.
Congressmen and women that supported his trillion dollar stimulus, Obamacare, carbon tax crappy trade, wall street financial overhaul/slush fund,
‘with tingles up their legs,’
are now facing the voters wrath in November.
Obama is gleefully throwing their used carcasses under the Emperors Vacation Tour Bus. (got golf?)
He knows the house and senate will now fill up with Republicans and Independents and that in 2012 he can blame them,
instead of Bush,
for the depression.
Obama also knows government dependent slaves will vote for him,
kiss his feet and his ass for more government handout bread crumbs.
