  1. “You’d think, especially if you’ve got a person like Jason Nixon — a top-notch citizen — and then the guy against him is a crackhead that’s come forward to collect a reward, I mean, geez, right then you’d think the police would say, ‘hey, wait a minute,’” said deWit.
    A sad case of RCMP with tunnel vision going after a good man and destroying his life in the process.

  2. The horse wasn’t even shot. Can’t the morons they call cops these days determine if the thing was shot or not?!

  6. TimR, thanks for “the rest of the story.”
    Unfortunately I agree with “I used to view police very favourably, now I fear them.”

  7. Nova Battle of the X Planes: This is the documentary that was referenced on the Adler show this week that gives the background story about the competition for the next generation fighter planes. Memo to all political parties and the media – there was a costly, competitive process that the Liberals originally chose to participate in back in the 1990’s, and Canada was at the table as the process unfolded.

    I want our country led by a government that is willing to defend our borders, not hand our independent foreign policy to the UN.

  8. Comrade Jack Layton’s grand entrance at a high school in Saskatoon today had all the appearance of Lenin’s grand entrance at the Smolny Institute in St. Petersburg after the Bolshevik coup in October 1917. The only thing missing were the black leather jackets and high boots.
    He thinks the NDP has it in the bag and that he will be the next Prime Minister of Canada.

  9. Pat Nixon’s son, Jason, cleared of shooting a horse.
    Druggie falsely points finger at him for $25,000 reward and RCMP fall for it. Truly the RCMP is in a decline.
    As posted in the Herald by Qudarnt at 7:29pm
    The Wild Horses of Alberta Society (WHOAS) put out a $25,000 reward for, seeking information leading to a conviction in the case.”
    Something is truly warped in our society, when an advocacy group throws together thousands in reward money for info on the killing of an invasive species (horses aren’t native to Alberta), and the cops marshall their resources on the word of a crack-addict…yet NOBODY offered reward money, nor did the cops listen to tips in the Pickton mass-murder case. When feral horses’ lives are worth more than humans’, we truly have a sick society. Animal rights activists really are fruitcakes.
    Mr Nixon spent $100,000 on legal bills. Along with suing the Crown and RCMP for malicious prosecution, he should also drag WHOAS and their benefactors through the courts–these are the people who initiated this which hunt, and they have the money, but no sense of priorities.

  10. What we are seeing is herd mentality. Poster AMork at 3:07 hits the nail on the head:
    This case is a classic of the media, wildlife groups, social media, police, etc. all being in a frenzied borg like mode that drove this over the top and in the wrong direction. Think there will be any apologies from any of the above? Doubt it as they have moved on to the next item waiting to pounce.

  11. What I don’t understand is the RCMP didn’t even find a bullet wound on the horse!

  12. I trust you’re all familiar with the prosecution of Guy Earle by the BC “Human Rights” Commission. And you’re also aware of the singer on the Isle of Wight who was arrested, but ultimately not charged, with singing “Kung Fu Fighting”.
    I’ve had some pretty heated discussions with assorted Canadians & Americans about these particular free speech cases. I truly do not understand where they’re coming from, not only unwilling to condemn these ridiculous actions by the State but actually think they’re a pretty good idea.
    On the assumption that they’re not all nuts and simply misguided, could someone please place themselves in the cranium of a Leftist and give me a good explanation of why the State should be investigating such “offensive” speech? Seriously, please try.

  13. When this is all over and settled I think we all need to make sure Iggy is ostracized for life. This guy’s hell marry attempted coalition coup has breathed life into the freakshow party for christ’s sake.

  14. And another one bites the dust

  15. There are some serious issues with the RCMP. AS well the HR idea of having a quota of women on the force maybe is a chicken coming back to roost.

  16. Not meaning anything s3xist with the previous posting, but having been in Ottawa lately where all the RCMP sitting around the parliament buildings are female in cars is a bit unnerving.
    Are they not smarter to get a better position or maybe it was the luck of the draw the 7 cruisers I saw around the parliament apital buildings on shift that day I was there were female.
    Maybe they get hassled by the male cops and take it out on civilians?
    Going back to Jason Nixon, 10 cops with guns drawn and forcing him to the ground? Sounds like a lynch mob to me, more than university educated police.
    Then again 4 of their comrades got shot for laisier faire attitude of walking onto a known drug dealer’s property still stings I imagine.

  17. Oh, and a young drunk driver kills parents of 3 kids gets only 24 months.
    What are we seeing for the big picture here?

  20. This discussion between Andrew Breitbart and Lee Doren is WELL worth a listen!
    I think it’ll hit extra chords with Canadian conservatives because just like these two American fellows, we are all clearly the underdogs in terms of popular media culture. After all, the oppression that American conservatives are going through these days is not altogether different than Canadian conservatives endured starting in the 1970’s during the start of Trudeaupia and still very much exists today under its shadow that has very much infected most every part of the MSM and Academia.

  21. Lara Logan speaks out about the men of the Religion of Peace.
    Do you think that even one official “women’s group” will condemn the actions of these rapist thugs? Of course not because that would mean violating the law of multiculturalism. 🙁

  23. I blame the cops’ “diversity training” for most of the P.C. / Kafkaesque stuff they do these days.

    “Has the green movement been a miserable flop?”
    “What the hell went wrong? For months now, environmentalists have been asking themselves that question, and it’s easy to see why. After Barack Obama vaulted into the White House in 2008, it really did look like the United States was, at long last, going to do something about global warming. Scientists were united on the causes and perils of climate change. Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth had stoked public concern. Green groups in D.C. had rallied around a consensus solution—a cap-and-trade program for carbon emissions—and had garnered support from a few major companies like BP and Duke Energy. Both Obama and his opponent, John McCain, were on board. And, so, environmental advocates prepared a frontal assault on Congress. May as well order the victory confetti, right?
    Instead, the climate push was … a total flop. By late 2010, the main cap-and-trade bill had fizzled out in the Senate; not a single Republican would agree to vote for it. Greens ended up winning zilch from Congress, not even minor legislation to boost renewable electricity or energy efficiency. Worse, after the 2010 midterms, the House GOP became overrun with climate deniers, while voters turned apathetic about global warming. All those flashy eco-ads and all that tireless eco-lobbying only got us even further from solving climate change than we were in 2008.
    So now greens are in the post-mortem stage, and, not shockingly, it’s a sensitive subject. On Tuesday, Matthew Nisbet, a communications professor at American University, released a hefty 84-page report trying to figure out why climate activism flopped so miserably in the past few years. Nisbet’s report is already causing controversy: Among other things, he argues that, contrary to popular belief, greens weren’t badly outspent by industry groups and that media coverage of climate science wasn’t really a problem. And he raises questions about whether greens have been backing the wrong policy measures all along. Is he right? Have environmentalists been fundamentally misguided all this while? Or were they just unlucky?
    Just about everyone in the green movement has a theory for why the climate fight sputtered out. Some activists blame their all-too-powerful foes. The oil and coal industries, as well as groups like the National Association of Manufacturers, all vehemently opposed cap-and-trade and shelled out millions lobbying Congress. The cranks who deny that global warming is manmade were way too effective at spreading their disinformation. And gullible reporters were too willing to give these skeptics airtime. Call this the “we were outgunned” theory. Bill McKibben, for one, has argued that enviros need to spend more time targeting the “the guys with the money who pull the strings,” like the Chamber of Commerce and the Koch brothers. Some climate scientists, meanwhile, have argued that they need to get better at swatting down gibberish from the skeptics. Shortly after the midterms, some 40 climatologists around the world banded together to form a “rapid response unit” on key climate-science questions. (It’s still too early to judge the end result.)
    Then there are the lefty greens—groups like MoveOn.org and Friends of the Earth—who have long argued that the inside-the-Beltway strategy of 2009 and 2010 was inherently self-defeating. The mainstream green groups, these lefties argue, spent way too much time compromising with fossil-fuel interests in order to craft a byzantine cap-and-trade proposal that could placate enough swing voters in Congress. The end result was too loophole-ridden and too complicated to excite the base. Call this the “no one likes a sellout” theory—it’s the idea that a simpler, stronger policy (say, a flat carbon tax), combined with fervent grassroots pressure, might have stood a better chance.
    Plenty of other observers, meanwhile, have suggested that greens miscast the problem from the start. Mike Hulme, a climate scientist at the University of East Anglia, has argued that greens mistakenly treated global warming as a run-of-the-mill environmental problem similar to, say, acid rain. But, with acid rain, feasible solutions were already available—namely, scrubbers and low-sulfur coal—that made it relatively straightforward to cap sulfur-dioxide emissions. Climate change, Hulme argues, is a much trickier, more complicated problem that will require a flurry of different policy responses and society-wide changes, not just one big bill. Alternatively, Ted Nordhaus and Michael Shellenberger of the Breakthrough Institute have argued—in TNR and elsewhere—that a policy like cap-and-trade, which works by making dirty energy expensive, will never gain broad political support. Instead, environmental groups should have focused on pain-free policies to boost innovation and make clean energy cheaper—by, say, funding R&D on a Manhattan Project-esque scale.”

  27. $ “Could the future of wind be on land after all?” $
    …-
    “Turbine output gone with the wind
    “Toronto’s iconic wind turbine on the edge of Lake Ontario has been brought to a grinding halt by a combination of a bearing failure and, ironically, high winds.
    The lazily spinning, three-bladed turbine at the Exhibition grounds has been frozen since mid-March. It’s the latest hiccup for the project which was launched in 2002 when 427 investors raised $800,000 to buy 8,000 shares in the 750-kilowatt generator.
    Windshare, the co-operative which runs the turbine, hopes to get it up and running as soon as the weather co-operates, said president Dianne Saxe.
    “The cranes are there, the bearing is there and they’re working on it,” she said adding getting a bearing itself was a challenge. “Every time we’d find a bearing for sale it would be sold. Because of the demand for wind power, demand for these bearings is also high and they sell them as soon as they make them.”
    Indeed, the blades were off Wednesday before Thursday’s windstorm hit.
    Compounding the issue was the bankruptcy of the Dutch windmill manufacturer, Lagerwey, which rendered the maintenance contract and warranty useless, said Ms. Saxe.”

    “North Coast Doldrums
    Why Germany’s Offshore Wind Parks Have Stalled”
    “With Chancellor Merkel’s government turning its back on nuclear power, offshore wind parks are set to pick up the slack. But the installation of gigantic turbines in the North and Baltic seas has proven challenging, slow and hindered by bureaucratic hurdles. Could the future of wind be on land after all?”
    “Whenever German Chancellor Angela Merkel visits one of her country’s four major electric utilities, it is bound to have symbolic significance. This was the case when the chancellor and Jürgen Grossmann, the CEO of electric utility RWE, visited the Emsland nuclear power plant near Lingen in northern Germany last year. Merkel’s message was clear: German nuclear power plants are safe. And they will be needed for years to come to ensure that the country’s energy supply remains affordable and stable.
    But after the catastrophe at Japan’s Fukushima nuclear power plant, Berlin’s energy policy changed dramatically. And an event Chancellor Merkel is scheduled to attend on May 2, together with officials from the electric utility EnBW, comes at a convenient moment. On that day, the chancellor will not be touring a nuclear power plant. Instead, she will be headed out to sea or, more precisely, to a point in the Baltic Sea 16 kilometers (10 miles) off the Zingst Peninsula in Western Pomerania.
    Energy giant EnBW has almost completed the first commercial offshore wind farm in the Baltic Sea at the site, and Merkel will inaugurate it.
    Twenty-one giant wind turbines — each 130 meters (425 feet) tall — will jut out of the water over an area of seven square kilometers (2.7 square miles). When the wind is strong, they will feed about 185 gigawatt hours of electricity into the grid each year, or enough to supply 50,000 households with green energy.”

  31. You can’t argue with logic like Jack’s.
    “When I confronted Mr. Layton with Northern Ireland Minister of Finance Sammy Wilson’s unequivocal condemnation of cap and trade as responsible for massive job destruction and shared with the NDP boss a warning from Denmark’s Dr. Bjorn Lomborg that were cap and trade policies to became universally adopted they would by century’s end reach $40 trillion in annual costs, and long before then lead to the $9 a litre of gasoline, Layton’s response was “I don’t believe them.”
    Not a fact-substantiated challenge of the Minister of Finance for Northern Ireland or Dr. Lomborg, just “I don’t believe them.”

    http://www.agrimoney.com/news/india-and-pakistan-may-test-wheat-export-records–3096.html
    Remember, Sask first produced over 10 mil mtonnes of spring wheat in 1952 and 1953.
    Sask is now going into its 13th year since last producing a spring wheat crop of over 10 mil mt.
    This has left the door open to other nations to step up and benefit handsomely from the high prices in the wheat market today.
    Screw the CWB.

    This morning I banned a commentor who’s been posting daily for years. Perhaps this will get the message across that the comments rules apply to EVERYONE.

    A Montreal Gazette photographer at the scene said “people were thrown around” inside the building and there was pushing and shoving as the protesters were forced out by security.
    The purpose of the demonstration remains unclear, but a statement appearing on a number of progressive sites late Thursday suggested the disturbance had been planned.”

  42. U.S. union contributed to NDP 2
    DANIEL PROUSSALIDIS, Parliamentary Bureau
    First posted: Thursday, April 28, 2011 9:10:36 EDT PM
    The United Steelworkers of America’s headquarters in Pittsburgh, Pa., filed paperwork with the U.S. Department of Labor that shows tens of thousands of dollars sent to the NDP in Ottawa between 2007 and 2010.
    Records show the American union sent $5,000 last year, more than $39,000 in 2009, $8,500 in 2008, and in excess of $17,000 in 2007 to the New Democratic Party of Canada or the New Democrats of Canada.
    Steelworkers and NDP officials tell QMI Agency there’s nothing wrong with the union’s contributions.
    They insist the paperwork filed in the U.S. simply isn’t labelled properly and that in all but one case union money actually went to provincial NDP associations.
    Officials say the only exception was in 2009 when most of the money was actually to cover the USW’s sponsorship of the federal NDP’s Halifax convention.

    imo**So While Layton is bashng the Conservatives calling them a threat to democracy & USA style politics, The NDP are accepting donations from a Union(which dont surprise me)

If sometime in the future she decides to open comments again, those who truly value her highly informative site will be ready and dedicated to participate again.
    Kate is also on twitter (http://twitter.com/#!/katewerk). We are all free to comment there – if our comments are worthwhile we will have a following.
    The part that baffles me – why hasn’t sda gone viral. No doubt it has done very well, but considering the quality and volume of Kate’s posts, I believe it should by now be a Canadian sized Huffpo or Drudge. Seriously, those sites do not compare when it comes to Kate’s intellect and her ability to jar one’s mind into seeing the light or the stupidity of The Ruling Class. Hotair.com comes close. Just stop and think how much meaning and truth there is to her posts – The World Is Run By Crazy People. Y2Koto. Juxtapose. Its Probably Nothing. Stinking Giant Fans.
    Most people whom I know agree mostly or whole heartily with Kate’s take and yet they keep watching TV and continue to yell back at the radio. I just do not get it.
    I have talked to Kate on the phone many times – lots of integrity.
    In case comments are closed, been nice knowing you all – it has been quite the run. Before I pass it would be real nice to meet many of you in person.

  46. To quote a Police Psychologist:
    As someone who worked inside the organization for several decades I am deeply sorry for the RCMP’s behaviour that contributed to Robert’s death. I wish I could tell you that the issues I raised here, and many others, that are rotting the RCMP from the top down, will soon be changing. I won’t do that as the RCMP is in need of significant transformational change in order to genuinely re-connect with the public and its own membership. Changing bits and pieces of its infrastructure, as outlined by its “change management team” will not suffice. The changes required need to go much deeper and challenge the Force’s archaic self image and corporate culture. These kinds of changes focus on the outdated core values and culture that are most resistant to change; and most of the resistance comes from the top…the very people who make up the “change management team”. Massive organizational changes like this usually involve sweeping changes in senior management. Very few at the executive level who have had anything to do with shaping the recent history of the RCMP should be allowed anywhere near the room where genuine, and painful, transformation is being undertaken. I have little faith that anything of significance will change until the cabal in charge is gone; however, I want to assure you that I will continue to do everything in my power to shine a critical light on the role played by RCMP decision makers in Robert’s death.
    In closing, you may be aware that my testimony at the Braidwood Commission was challenged as “biased” by the RCMP members’ lawyers. (And I’m sure they will try again in their final submissions). I am not biased, in a negative direction toward the RCMP. I have the deepest respect for the institution of the RCMP but very little respect for most members of the RCMP responsible for its present position and course. The executive level of the RCMP from one end of the country to the other is out of touch with both the public and its’ own membership. It’s time for someone to say “the emperor wears no clothes”.
    Sincerely,
    Dr. Mike Webster
    Police Psychologist

    “I Once Was a Dipper…
    It’s not something I’m proud to admit. It happened long before I knew anything about politics. I was a single mother 26 years old and on social assistance. A former teacher from my high school who was the NDP MLA in my riding was door knocking in my apartment building and managed to give me a bunch of pamphlets and woo me into the NDP fold.
    The NDP loved people like me and still do. People who don’t make much money, who blame the government for their problems, people who are for the most part, ignorant of many economic truths.
    So I went to their meetings once a month, which consisted primarily of senior citizens and Mennonites in the community. I listened to members bitch and complain about how the government never did enough for them. I listened to them complain about how evil the Liberals and Conservatives were. I went there because I wanted to know how the NDP could help make my life better. They were the party for people like me afterall, poor single mothers with mouths to feed and never enough money to do it. That was how they wooed me, they told me and NDP government would make everything better, especially my life.
    It sounded good. But I had a lot of questions. I got very, very few chances to ask them. Members with seniority seemed to get all the floor time and I got, well… none. With all honesty I can say they never listened to me, and never seemed to care as much as they want you to believe. Only once at a meeting I got to talk to someone about some concerns I had, and you know what he did? He flashed a huge smile and told people around us in the room what a great addition I was to their party. A single mother finding it hard to get by? That’s fantastic! We could really milk a lot of sympathy from people! Excuse me? That’s not why I was there… and that’s why I never went back to another meeting. It was shortly after that I got a job working for a Conservative MP and cancelled my NDP membership, trading it for a Conservative one. I have been a Conservative member to this day.
    People can go around claiming that the Conservative Party preys on people’s fears, of coalitions and what-not. The truth of the matter is, the NDP party preys on people’s ignorance. The less informed people are about how the economy really works, or even life for that matter, all the better. They take advantage of people’s weakness and exploit it. I may dislike the Liberal party, but I despise the NDP.
    Jack Layton goes around slamming Harper for supposedly cozying up to his corporate and big oil buddies, which is more lies, but isn’t it hypocritical when the NDP have always cozied up with the unions? That’s right, union presidents who don’t give a damn about anyone else but themselves and their union buddies.
    NDP policies are NOT about getting you out of poverty as they want you to believe. The facts are, their polices will either keep you in poverty or make you poor. That’s what they do. It’s all show-and-glow folks. Looks really enticing when you first see them but if you are unfortunate enough to rely on them, you will have great difficulty getting back out and on your feet.”
