    “New legislation would repeal Section 13, the hate speech portion of Human Rights Act.

    “’Our government believes Section 13 is not an appropriate or effective means for combating hate propaganda. We believe the Criminal Code is the best vehicle to prosecute these crimes,’ Justice Minister Rob Nicholson told the House of Commons during question period.

    “’I say to the opposition: get onside with the media, MacLean’s magazine, National Post, and even the Toronto Star says this section should go.’”

    […]

    “With a Conservative majority in the House and the Senate, the bill will likely become law quickly, after 32 years accusations and convictions over allegations of hate speech.

    “’No more witch hunts by the Canadian Human Rights Commission, no more persecuting their political enemies,’ said (Ezra) Levant.”

    Ezra interviews Brian Storseth, the Conservative MP from Westlock, Alberta who drafted the private member’s bill, on tonight’s The Source.

  5. @ EBD
    Sure they may be tough now, but wait until their Universities start cranking out 10s of thousands of Social workers without a cause and then see what happens. When politicians lose their balls to activism, it’s only a matter of time before it filters down to the students.

    That’s a big 10-4, good buddy.

  12. Hat tip to SDA on Brian Lilley tonight, re: wheat board “protest” on the hill in his segment with Ezra. Haven’t seen video uploaded for it.

    Experts blame overuse of medicines for huge rise in bacteria that are almost impossible to treat
    Discovering new medicines to treat resistant superbugs has proved increasingly difficult and costly – they are taken only for a short period and the commercial returns are low.

  15. Its like an old enema come to visit again.
    eewww… the mind boggles at the thought of recycling enemas.
    Seriously however, approximately half the world’s population is living within a meter of sea level, with already over-stressed water and sewer systems. The inexorable rise of sea level combined with superbugs like MRSA generated by industrial meat factories, makes plagues the best hope to counter human overpopulation.

    “It had obviously been a harrowing experience, one of Pachauri’s senior associates told me, but he never lost his Olympian calm or his warm collegiality, turning out every weekend as usual — at the age of 70 — to play for TERI’s redoubtable cricket team.
    “With that, he apologized for not being able to continue the conversation: he had to join an important conference call with the vice-chairs of the IPCC — no doubt, his press officer said, to review some last-minute questions about the upcoming report. Pachauri rose to shake hands in farewell, Olympian calm intact.”

    A few people wandered the banks one recent afternoon to see the art; organizers estimate between 150 to 200 come every day.

    “campus police officers who refused to let anyone onto the campus without a valid Harvard ID.”
    “As if the whole situation wasn’t screwed up enough – a Harvard-only protest against elitism; voluntarily living in Boston – university officials sent out an email shortly after the event explaining to students that increased security measures would be upheld in coming days, including a prohibition on anyone entering the Yard without a Harvard ID for the safety of – wait for it – “the students who will be sleeping outdoors as part of the protest.”
    Still, in the week since the restrictions were first imposed, student protesters have persistently kvetched about the unfairness of the situation:”

    “Unimaginable Cold Remains Locked In Across Alaska”
    “A record-breaking cold snap gripping Alaska will persist through at least the Thanksgiving holiday, delivering temperatures that most of the world would consider hard to fathom.
    Near the center of this deep freeze since Tuesday is Fairbanks, the state’s second largest city situated across the interior with a population of 31,000.
    Temperatures dropped to an incredible 41 degrees below zero Thursday morning, breaking the old record of 39 below. The record comes just 2 days after Fairbanks saw its first record low broken since 1994.
    Six hours of sunlight did little to warm temperatures during the daytime hours, with the mercury topping off at a crispy 30 below.”

    Empire club cancels Bill Blair speech due to low ticket sales
    Boo Hoo.
    Blair’s topic? “Policing: Adapting to a Changing World.”
    I’m thinking that the members of the Empire Club didn’t want to hear any more politically correct let’s-bend-over-backwards-to-accommodate-our-visible-minorities-even-when-they-break-our-laws-and-take-us-all-for-suckers crap.
    It’s Bill Blair and his police force that need to “adapt” — by returning to a law and order agenda which indiscriminately applies the law to each person regardless of their race, culture, or sexual orientation. Justice should be blind. In Blair’s and the TPF’s case, they look first and then decide on a course of action. ‘Not the way to apply our laws.

  25. this is what we’re leaving in Afghanistan ?
    let the moonbats mewl but we have to stay until they’re brought at least into the 16th century.
    the job’s not nearly done yet…
    (BBC) — Officials at a meeting of elders in Kabul changed a committee’s number after delegates rejected 39 because of an Afghan belief that the number is associated with pimps.
    Delegates at the gathering, or loya jirga, convened by Afghan President Hamid Karzai, divided into 40 groups to consider Afghan-US relations.
    Elders refused to take part in group 39 until its number was changed to 41.
    The number is held as a mark of great shame across Afghanistan.
    Correspondents say some believe the taboo started because a pimp had 39 on his vehicle number plate. But others say it dates from an old way of calculating numbers called “Abjad”.
    Many delegates at the loya jirga voiced their fervent opposition to being part of committee 39, one attendee told the BBC’s Bilal Sarwary in Kabul.
    ”One delegate said: ‘I don’t want to return to my area and be called a pimp. I don’t care if it is true or not, but people out there believe in it. Look no one wants to have a vehicle with number plate 39. And yet, you want me to be in 39?”’ the member said.

  28. Einstein vs. CERN – Part III??
    Second set of scientists find that particles can travel faster than light – but they still don’t understand how
    “Many physicists scoffed, claiming that errors in the experiment must have distorted the result. One – Jim Al-Khalili – even promised to eat his own boxer shorts if the experiment was correct.Now, a repeat of the experiment has shown the same result.”
    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2063163/Einstein-speed-light-2nd-set-scientists-particles-CAN-travel-faster-light.html#ixzz1e4zhtpaV
    The reference to Jim Al-Khalili caught my eye in light of Vίt’s physics post. Jim Al-Khalili has an interesting physics video called simply “Atom” that anyone who has a burning desire to understand the history and basic concepts of quantum theory might enjoy.
    I wonder if Al-Khalili is now hoping that boxer shorts are available in the edible undies section.

  29. “Dutch fall out of love with windmills”
    “When the Netherlands built its first sea-based wind turbines in 2006, they were seen as symbols of a greener future.
    Towering over the waves of the North Sea like an army of giants, blades whipping through the wind, the turbines were the country’s best hope to curb carbon emissions and meet growing demand for electricity.
    The 36 turbines — each one the height of a 30-storey building — produce enough electricity to meet the needs of more than 100,000 households each year.
    But five years later the green future looks a long way off. Faced with the need to cut its budget deficit, the Dutch government says offshore wind power is too expensive and that it cannot afford to subsidise the entire cost of 18 cents per kilowatt hour — some 4.5 billion euros last year.
    The government now plans to transfer the financial burden to households and industrial consumers in order to secure the funds for wind power and try to attract private sector investment.”

    “Record Fairbanks cold continues, air quality warnings issued”
    “FAIRBANKS – A mid-November cold snap seems to have caught even seasoned Fairbanksans off guard.
    “I don’t think anybody was really expecting this,” 43-year-old Shawn Ross, a lifelong Fairbanksan, said. “This came out of the blue.”
    For the second time in three days, Fairbanks set a new low temperature record on Thursday. A temperature of 41 degrees below zero — the first 40 below temperature of the season — was recorded at Fairbanks International Airport at 6:29 a.m., according to the National Weather Service in Fairbanks. That broke the old record of 39 below set in 1969.”

  31. CBC has an article up on the Natalie Wood case. They also say this previously unknown fact,”She and Wagner, star of TV’s Hart to Hart,”.
    An alert reader caught the slip and posted,”No,that was Stephanie Powers”.
    Currently the cbc readers are giving him the thumbs down at a rate of 4 to 1.

  34. Just watching the Source and Ezra has finally found Joe Volpe’s supporters down at St James park at 4 am sleeping in several of the tents.

  37. Posted earlier on wrong thread (whoops, sorry!):
    Cross-posted at Blazing Cat Fur (http://blazingcatfur.blogspot.com/): Ezra Levant’s Night Raid on Occupy Toronto [at 4:00 a.m.] where he found, lo and behold, that 90% of the tents were completely empty! He also found four or five threatening tent city “guards” who stole his glasses, told him he was an a**hole, and ordered him to leave the park. Aren’t these the anarchists (and paid union thugs) who say they don’t believe in private property?
    UN. BLOODY. BEE. LEEVABLE.
    The “don’t touch me! don’t touch me!” tactic, when the person yelling is doing the touching, is a trick of the worst miscreants in our schools. The school admin., like the Toronto cops, won’t touch the rotters with a ten-foot pole.
    Boy, are our forebears who made Canada the best and most free democracy in the world by establishing and enforcing law and order, ever rolling over in their graves. It’s an absolute disgrace that Toronto’s so-called “Finest” — how about Toronto’s Failures? — won’t enforce the law in the middle of our city, where depraved union puppets are holding the rest of us hostage.
    I’m disgusted. The union thugs — all five of them — are running the show right now, and why do we let them? Why should the kids that yell and scream and have the loudest tantrums win the day?
    Ezra called Bill Blair, the police, and Canadian mayors of occupied cities cowards and that’s what they are. The minute legitimate authority abdicates its responsibility to enforce the rules, mayhem and chaos ensue — in families, in schools, in communities. Who said that all it takes for evil to triumph is for good people to do and say nothing? That’s what’s happening here [in Toronto] — and when the “good” people step aside to let the rabble storm the walls and plunder the city, we’re done.
