  1. Gotta love Ezra!
    Tonight on SunNews, he bodyslams the mamby-pamby David Akin on his weak-kneed stance re Human Rights.
    SunNews can do much better than Akin as their point man!

  5. Thanks EBD. This song describes our local town perfectly. If you have ever lived in a small town you will know that there is much that it good and much that is not so good. Everybody knows everybody.
    Snagglepuss, I saw that segment and you are right. David Akin does not realize what he is asking for.
    Read Orlando Figes “The Whisperers”.

  6. Wish I could put up the fancy podcast links of the radio talk shows, but all I can offer is a link to audiovault.

    Adler talks to Licia Corbella and Matt Gurney regarding a Globe and Mail column about Alberta “stepping into the present” for electing Alison “Red”ford.
    A nice little segment that blows holes into the downtown elitist mentality with facts.

  9. On the Global Revolution Web-site, the video playing now (from London, I think) shows the same kind of sing-song, kindergarten-style exchange between the ‘leaders’ and their followers as was shown on the weird park gathering video. Where is the original thought?

  10. Sounds like they are organizing protests in the financial districts in cities across Canada now. Hope there’s counter protests and people screaming from their cars, “Go get a job and quit trying to steal from the rest of us!!!!!!”

    “A German Ghost Town in the Heart of China”
    “Half-timbered buildings and medieval romance — that’s what the Chinese wanted. But the architecture firm Speer thought it knew better, and built a modern German residential quarter on the outskirts of Shanghai. Now that it is complete, though, nobody wants to live there. Even Oktoberfest was cancelled.”
    “Johann Wolfgang von Goethe is posing in his tailcoat and laurel wreath, while Friedrich Schiller next to him is clutching a scroll. The two bronze statues proudly guard a cobblestone square surrounded by trees. “Passersby keep asking me who these two gentlemen are,” says one café owner waiting for customers on a scorching late summer day. “Should one know them?”
    Germany’s greatest poets have been supplanted into a strange country. The square isn’t in Weimar or Heidelberg after all. Rather, it is in a suburb of Shanghai. Anting German Town, 30 kilometers from the Chinese metropolis, is a typical German residential district built in China as an experiement that isn’t working.
    Indeed, it is a ghost town. The streets are deserted, a bored security guard sits in his hut, For Sale signs are everywhere. The post office is finished and the postbox says “Collection Once Daily.” But you wouldn’t be wise to throw a letter in because it has yet to be emptied and the post office remains closed for business.
    If this were the Wild West, tumbleweed would be rolling down the street.”

  13. Lovely, EBD, lovely.
    And what tasteful and tasty acoustic guitar on that long intro. Perfect.
    Looking at those Prine-as-old-man pix I found myself wondering if he’s got some Indian blood in him. No one seems to concur with this, but my fave Prine is Christmas In Prison, which still kills me.
    Ezra vs. the other guy. What a sad idiotic argument the other guy puts up. Man, Ezra nails it. Basking in reflected glory THIS is the argument I always make myself: hate is a human emotion; it can’t be legislated against without disastrous consequences. You fkuc with nature you get hurt.
    And wow: Ezra’s argument: if you don’t hate, you’re broken! I might add: if you claim to not hate you’re lying through your teeth with that plastic smile on your puss.

  14. 13 October, 1812, Battle of Queenston Heights.
    A Tribute to Sir Isaac Brock.
    …-
    “The battle of Queenston Heights was a British victory early in the War of 1812 that turned back the first American attack on the Niagara front. Although the United States and Canada shared a very long border, in the north west there were only two realistic lines for American attack – from Detroit at the western end of Lake Erie, or across the Niagara River at the eastern end of the lake. The United States decided to attack in both of these areas, in the expectation that the weak British forces in Upper Canada would be unable to respond to the simultaneous attacks. Unfortunately for the Americans, their attacks could not be coordinated. The Detroit campaign began in July 1812 when an American army crossed the Detroit River, but ended in disaster on 16 August with the surrender of Detroit to Major-General Isaac Brock.”
    […]
    “There they nearly captured Major General Isaac Brock, the British commander in Upper Canada. He had spent the previous night at Fort George. He was alerted to the fighting at Queenston by the sound of the American guns, and had dashed south to investigate. Once at Queenston he had climbed up the escarpment to a British redan just below the top of the height, to get a better look at the American attack. While he was at the redan, the first American party reached the top of the crest, and charged the British position. Brock was forced to flee back into the village.
    Once there he immediately ordered a counterattack. At the head of 100 regulars and 100 Lincoln militia, Brock led the attack directly up the slope of the escarpment. He was hit by two American bullets, and was killed by the second. The attackers retreated back into the village.”

    “Toronto ‘biggest pimps’ in North America?”
    “TORONTO – Neon-lit city-licensed body rub parlours may soon be popping up everywhere in a neighbourhood near you if a staff committee at City Hall has its way.
    At least one city councillor is fuming over plans by a consultative committee for suggesting on Tuesday that permits for body rub parlours be increased tenfold or more from the existing 25 to “several hundreds” by early next year.
    “This will make us the biggest pimps in North America,” an outraged Giorgio Mammoliti said on Wednesday. “These clubs will be springing up in strip malls and residential areas across the city.””

    “Icelandic ash cloud part two? Scientists monitor rumblings of larger volcano”
    “Experts believe overdue eruption of Katla would wreak even more havoc on European flights than Eyjafjallajokul did last year”
    “If you thought last year’s flight-paralysing volcanic eruption from Iceland was bad, just wait for the sequel – that’s the message from experts nervously watching the burps and rumbles of an even more powerful volcano.
    Brooding over rugged moss-covered hills on Iceland’s southern edge, Katla is bigger than the nearby Eyjafjallajokul volcano, which spewed ash all over Europe for several weeks and cost airlines $2bn (£1.2bn).
    Named after an evil troll, Katla has a larger magma chamber than Eyjafjallajokul’s, according to local scientist Páll Einarsson. Its last major eruption, in 1918, continued for more than a month, turning day into night, starving crops of sunlight and killing off some livestock. The eruption melted some of the ice sheet covering Katla, flooding surrounding farmlands with a torrent of water.
    Now, clusters of small earthquakes are being detected around Katla, which means an eruption could be imminent, seismologists say. The earthquakes have been growing in strength, too. After a long period of magnitude-3 tremors, a magnitude-4 quake was detected last week.”

    “Iceland volcano: media continues to play up possible Katla eruption”
    “Magnus Gudmundsson, a geophysicist at the University of Iceland, who has been monitoring Katla, explained to Icelandic media that increased levels of heat under the glacier and more regular earthquakes could be a long-term warning of an eruption; however, there are no immediate signs to be concerned about.”

    “Canada to feel bite of Chinese trade slowdown”
    “A slowdown in China’s trade growth is raising fears that the engine of the global economy is cooling, and dragging on Canada’s already sluggish economy.
    Exports from China increased at the slowest pace in seven months in September, as demand from major trading partners Europe and the United States waned and a stronger Chinese currency pinched manufacturers. The pace of import growth also slowed sharply, heightening concerns that demand for materials from resource-rich nations such as Canada will decline.
    “The signs of a slowing Chinese economy come as Canadian companies are increasingly targeting China and other emerging countries as a market for their products. The fresh evidence of China’s vulnerability to slowing growth in Europe and the United States suggests that these relatively new markets for Canadian exporters will not be immune to a downturn.
    “It’s not a very good sign, that’s for sure,” said Jayson Myers, president and CEO of Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters.”
