This is scary, people.
One of the hazards of watching the NHL playoffs is that when the game ends in this timezone the National follows almost immediately. God what biased enraging drivel.
Sun News needs to conduct a long in-depth investigation and report on this frankly scandalous bias.
Yeah, I saw that, Gord. It’s not journalism, it’s a blatant, in-your-face, anti-Conservative campaign, paid for by taxpayers. It’s a serious joke.
So… making appointments to the senate, the way it has always been done, is now bad…
Next thing you know I’ll find out that the FPTP system is systemically flawed, well now anyways…

I think they are worried about the next few years.
When the recession deepens, when the social safety nets fall apart, when the country actually goes bankrupt and the dollars value drops to the point where a loaf of bread hits $20. When riots replace grumbling and the mansions of the rich are assaulted by the furious poor and shrinking middle class. Can’t happen in America ???
History says it can and will when conditions are right. One in 7 Americans is now on food stamps, one in 4 homeowners is underwater with their mortgage and the real unemployment rate probably exceeds 20 % and rising. Government debt is rising by 1.6 trillion dollars a year and no one knows how to slow it down.
History repeating and somwhere in the wings is another Hitler with all the words the masses want to hear when everything has crashed.
Conditions are not right yet , but creeping closer. The “sweeping war powers act” means the elite is also aware. They are praying for a miracle, but stocking up for disaster.
The U.S. Secret Service is on Twitter, and they so don’t like Fox News.
more leftard fearmongering:
“Exploding ammo shows why Slave Lake still not safe for residents” Montreal Gazette
“Bullets fly in Slave Lake” Toronto Star
Reality check:
Nearly every household contains many common items which are far more dangerous than even a massive ammunition collection. Cans of spray paint or hair spray, a container of gasoline for a lawn mower, or a propane tank for a BBQ grill or even a small propane torch for home improvement use will all “explode” about as easily as ammunition, and cause more damage by providing fuel to a fire.
Tests have shown that ammunition exposed to a fire may eventually be heated to the point that the primer and/or powder will ignite. This will usually result in the cartridge case rupturing, and force the primer from the primer pocket. The powder burns, and does not explode. Since the ammunition is not constrained within the barrel of a gun, the force is dispersed in all directions, and the bullet will do little more than drop out of the case. The primer, any pieces of the ruptured cartridge case, and the bullet will not penetrate anything much stronger than a corrugated cardboard box a few inches away. Military surplus “ammo cans” are excellent and safe methods for storing ammunition.
Newspaper accounts of house or business fires where “bullets exploded by the heat went shooting over firefighters’ heads” are completely false and based on invalid assumptions and ignorance. However, news people often leap to hysterical conclusions which attract a lot of attention and are seldom corrected (Reference- Major General Julian S. Hatcher, U.S. Army Ordnance Corps, Hatcher’s Notebook, Harrisburg, PA, 1962, pages 531-540.)
The beginning of the end is finally kicking off for the illegal President.
ABC news…The official voice of the Soetoro White House has a pure propaganda piece this morning as an attachment for promoting Tshirts from Barry’s campaign. On the front of the shirt is a picture of Obama with “Made in the USA” (Technically, he was probably ‘made’ in the US, we are more concerned with where he was ‘born’ though…So this will be the joke du jour) on the back of the shirt he has the nerve to put the latest 100% fake birth Certificate.

Now on to the Incandescent Light Bulb Wars. Hopefully Harper drops the ban entirely, this will give Lizzard May something to work with. I can hardly wait to see her breathless attack broadcast by the CBC. Now if we all could just get her mailing address, and send all our old burned out toxic squiggly lightbulbs to her to dispose of properly, it will give her life meaning. And her a meaningful task while she is sucking up air in Ottawa for the next 4 years. Instead of carving her name in her desk in the HOC and languishing in a dark corner by herself. Gnashing her teeth and foaming at the mouth, always rehearsing how she will attack Harper and replay her 2008 debates. All foamed up with nowhere to go. http://www.ottawacitizen.com/news/decision-canada/Government+delays+pulling+plug+fashioned+light+bulbs/4806638/story.html
Found this on a blog from a Mary t:
“The PM needed an absolute majority in the Senate before June 2nd, to get the chairmanship of committees. Without these 3, the liberals could still have had chairmanships and been able to stall legislation or change it. Chairmanships are only changed after an election or prorogation. The PM could not allow liberals to stall and defeat everything for 4 yrs.
Even if 2 of the 3 new ones resign within a few months, those chairmanships can’t be changed.
There are around 15 vacancies to occur within 5 yrs.”
Funny how the CBC reported this nor asked anyone in the CPC about it.

“I’m going to promise to keep doing what we have been doing,” McGuinty told reporters on Tuesday.
Hmm. And that would be?
Um, hiking taxes. And when they’re not hiking taxes, they’re presiding over the eco-fee disaster, that tacked unspecified, random amounts onto household items.
Not forgetting the HST that was foisted on us, adding an extra 8% to our hydro and gas bills, and gouging us when we fill our cars at the pumps.

One suspects they’ll also continue rewarding smug complacency in the public sector.

“CBC, Quebecor legal spat ends”
“Quebecor and Radio-Canada have ended their legal battle over comments made by the CBC’s vice-president of CBC’s French wing about Quebecor CEO Pierre Karl Peladeau.
Radio-Canada announced the news in a statement Thursday afternoon.
Peladeau, owner of QMI Agency, sued Sylvain Lafrance for $700,000 for calling Peladeau a “punk” in a 2007 newspaper interview.
Lafrance made the comment after Quebecor’s cable subsidiary stopped paying into the Canadian Television Fund.
Quebecor had objected to the fact that more than one third of the CTF’s funding went to the CBC, which already receives more than $1 billion a year from taxpayers.
The CBC and Lafrance stated in a release Thursday that they did not want people to believe that the actions of Peladeau were in any way illegal and that it was “regrettable and unfortunate that the word ‘punk’ was used.” http://cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/MediaNews/2011/05/19/18167586.html

“The 50 Best Goalie Mask Designs in NHL History”
“It began in 1959.
After experimenting with designs off the ice for months, Montreal Canadiens goaltender Jacques Plante felt he had found the right kind of goalie mask to use for protection in a game, but there was just one problem.
He wasn’t allowed to use one.
It wasn’t just that no goalie before him had ever worn a mask during a game in the NHL, but that his coaches, including head coach Toe Blake, thought it would hinder his vision, and therefore told Plante he would not be able to wear the mask.
Talk about tough love, and especially for a goalie who was on his way to winning his fifth straight Vezina Trophy as the best in the league.
Everything changed on Nov. 1, 1959, in a game against the New York Rangers. Andy Bathgate, a powerful forward for the Rangers, came steaming in on net and ripped a shot off the face of Plante, sending him into the dressing room for repairs.
Plante came back out on to the ice stitched up, but with a mask covering his face. He had found his excuse to wear a mask during a game, and never looked back.
Across the NHL, players, fans and media all felt it was a poor decision on Plante’s part.”
