  1. There’s only one woman in Canada who can write like this:
    “There are women walking around intact today who will die at the hands of their violent husbands if the registry vanishes.”
    Absolutely. Because if hubby’s gun was registered he’d take her out to dinner and a movie instead.

  6. Today’s column included the classic phrase
    Robert Fisk, one of the finest journalists alive . . .

  10. I was watching the CTV national news tonight (Sept 13), when about halfway through the broadcast they did a story on a woman somewhere in the eastern USA, who is finally going to court, having been accussed of killing her husband with a rifle in 2006.
    My first thought was that why would Canadians be interested in a four year old possible murder during a domestic dispute in another country. But then it became blatantly obvious – the media is trying to keep any stories the involve rifles in the public eye as a method to build up a fear of guns and to show what a danger they are – and if used in a domestic dispute, so much the better.
    (For American readers, the fate of Canada’s long-gun registry will soon be in Parliment for final debate and vote)
    I think there is already a fix in place. Just enough NDP’ers will vote in support of the registry that saving it will pass, but only those NDPers who are in ridings at risk will be allowed to vote in favour of abolishing it. But saving the registry will pass by only a vote or two. It will also let Layton look good by ‘allowing’ a free vote.

  11. The gun registry has never saved a single life in my opinion. just a colossile waste of taxpayer money.
    if taliban jack and his minions vote to save it, i hope every one of them gets run out of parliment next election.
    it’s about time they started worrying about the taxpayer.
    i don’t know about the rest of you…but i’m fed up with the tax i have to pay on everything to support bs like this.

  12. It is really disturbing that poor old Heather equates gun ownership with manhood! What a lack of imagination; I wonder , does she equate poison with womanhood? She lives in a dark cave with her back facing the opening, she sees dark shadows and believes the latter to be reality. I doubt Heather has ever heard of Plato but I think that he would have certainly found her drivel “interesting’, in a primitive way.

  13. Looking at the situation in cities like Toronto or Winnipeg, at this point politicians should get accustom to repeating the line: ” If concealed carry would save only one life….”.

  14. 5 charged in beating, sex assault. “WINNIPEG — Saturday morning at about 12:30 a.m. a 34-year-old woman was walking through a park in the area of the Notre Dame Avenue and Sherbrook Street when she was approached by a number of individuals.” Winnipeg Free Press

    This story provides Contrast: http://www.examiner.com/self-defense-in-national/armed-82-year-old-woman-fends-off-would-be-killer
    “the (82 year old) woman was walking to her car in a Wal-Mart parking lot when a man walked up to her and stated “This is your day. You are too old to be alive anyway,” before grabbing her cane and beating her with it.” “The elderly lady was reportedly grabbed her self defense gun from her purse and fired, missing the attacker but causing him to flee.” See, No One Was Hurt.
    Should one even attempt to ask why the Winnipeg story is preferred to the Sierra Vista one by these ding-bats?
    Only in Canader, you say: Bull Malick.

  15. I have viewed all the scenes filmed for The Young Frankenstein which never made the cut, and in my humble etc. this is the one that should have been left in. You’re welcome.
    (p.s. the horses freak out when you whisper “Heather Mallick!” Try it some time.)

  16. One of the comments in Mallick’s hit-piece could only have been written by a true Canadian Leftist:
    “To be fair, if we mix up saving lives (noble, worthwhile) with divide and conquer urban/rural Republican style tactics (ignoble,nasty,unworthy) we risk losing the long gun registry. Say what you will, “left or right”…IF our Police officers- they train intensely and risk their lives to become more “expert” in these things than most of us “armchair Peace officers”…they strongly SUPPORT the registry…why not tune it up to address legitimate rural based concerns…but NOT take down this resource just to pander to destructive aspects of hyperbole,NIMBY, ignorance,fear and Republican-style disinformation/scare tactics. All Citizens, urban and rural support our Police- let’s back that up with something concrete, always potentially LIFE-Saving, and not platitudes however well intentioned.”

    We have a muslim registry? Who knew?

  22. David McQuinty is doing a live CBC propaganda report and what a $#$^ a-hole. Just going nuts on the NRA influence and behind the scene maneuvering s with the Harperites. He even invoked Ann Coulter.
    This guy is sounding like a real fascist and anti-free speecher and plus he pretty muchs is sure that ‘regular’ Canadians are uniformed, lemming like idiots.
    What a dick! Now he is getting all suck uppy to Layton. I think i’m going to vomit.

  25. PM Harper is Red-Green socialist.
    Red-Green is a criminal gang.

    “Ottawa has Ontario’s back in green energy subsidy fight with Japan: Van Loan
    TORONTO – Ottawa says it will defend Ontario if the province’s green energy policy sparks a formal trade complaint from Japan.
    The Japanese Embassy says the country plans to file a complaint to the World Trade Organization over subsidies to green energy firms.
    Japan argues the subsidies violate Canada’s trade obligations.
    But International Trade Minister Peter Van Loan says Ottawa stands behind Ontario’s green energy policy.
    After a speech today in Toronto, Van Loan said the federal government would argue Ontario’s case if Japan files a complaint.”

    “*Mafia was trying to ‘go green’ in new economy
    “ROME – Italy on Tuesday seized Mafia-linked assets worth $1.9 billion — the biggest mob haul ever — in an operation revealing that the crime group was trying to “go green””by laundering money through alternative energy companies.
    Investigators said the assets included more than 40 companies, hundreds of parcels of land, buildings, factories, bank accounts, stocks, fast cars and luxury yachts.
    Most of the seized assets were located in Sicily, home of the Cosa Nostra, and in southern Calabria, home of its sister crime organisation, the ‘Ndrangheta.
    At the centre of the investigation was Sicilian businessman Vito Nicastri, 54, a man known as the “Lord of the Wind””because of his vast holdings in alternative energy concerns, mostly wind farms.
    Interior Minister Roberto Maroni called the operation “the largest seizure ever made””against the Mafia.
    General Antonio Girone, head of the national anti-Mafia agency DIA, said Nicastri was linked to Matteo Messina Denaro, believed to be Mafia’s current “boss of bosses”.
    Investigators said Nicastri’s companies ran numerous wind farms as well as factories that produced solar energy panels.”

    “Damning new investigation into Climategate inquiries
    Posted on September 14, 2010 by Anthony Watts
    Climate Research Unit (CRU) building at UEA
    Press release
    London, 14 September – The Global Warming Policy Foundation today publishes a detailed assessment of the Climategate inquiries set up by the University of East Anglia and others which finds that they avoided key questions and failed to probe some of the most serious allegations.
    The report The Climategate Inquiries, written by Andrew Montford and with a foreword by Lord (Andrew) Turnbull, finds that the inquiries into the conduct and integrity of scientists at the Climatic Research Unit of the University of East Anglia were rushed and seriously inadequate.
    In particular, the report finds that:
    * none of the Climategate panels mounted an inquiry that was comprehensive within their area of remit
    * insufficient consideration in the choice of panel members led to a failure to ensure balance and independence
    * none managed to be objective and comprehensive
    * none made any serious attempt to consider the views and submissions of well-informed critics
    * terms of reference were either vague or non-existent
    * none of them performed their work in a way that is likely to restore confidence in the work of CRU.
    Andrew Montford, the author of the GWPF report, said:
    “The lack of impartiality manifested itself in the different ways the panels treated CRU scientists and their critics. While CRU justifications and explanations were willingly accepted without any serious probing, critics were denied adequate opportunity to respond and to counter demonstrably inaccurate claims.”
    “All in all, the evidence of the failings of the three UK inquiries is overwhelming. Public confidence in the reliability of climate science will not be restored until a thorough, independent and impartial investigation takes place,” Andrew Montford warned.
    Lord Turnbull, who wrote the foreword to the GWPF report, said:
    “The report by Andrew Montford clearly demonstrates that all three inquiries have serious flaws. The result has been that the three investigations have failed to achieve their objective, ie early and conclusive closure and restoration of confidence.”
    “The new House of Commons Select Committee on Science and Technology, which has rightly reopened the issue, would do well to study Andrew Montford’s report and take evidence from him. It needs to satisfy itself as to whether the criticisms made are valid and whether the exoneration claimed is justified.”
    “Only if the integrity of the science is re-established and the strengths and weaknesses of the main propositions are acknowledged will there be the basis of trust with the public which policymakers need,” Lord Turnbull said.
    Lord Turnbull also called on the Government to look at the serious criticisms of the IPCC made in the recent InterAcademy Council Report. He said: “The Government should demand that the fundamental reforms recommended by the IAC in the practice, governance and leadership of the IPCC are implemented immediately for its Fifth Assessment.”

  33. ‘Israel is the cause of Islamic terror’… oh wait…
    Those who persist in the delusion that the Middle East conflict is a fight over ‘Palestine’ between Israel and the ‘Palestinians’ should look at what happened last weekend, when terrorists fired Grad missiles from Egyptian territory not merely at Eilat, Israel’s tourist resort but also at Aqaba, Jordan’s tourist resort,
