  9. Gunter Gets It–

    this example of Third World hopelessness inside Canada — is the result of political correctness gone mad.
    To be sure, there are other factors involved. But political correctness is the root cause. It has paralyzed our political and bureaucratic establishments against taking the bold action necessary to give aboriginal-Canadians a fresh start, a new chance at being autonomous and self-reliant. It has made throwing money at First Nations’ problems the only acceptable course of action. It has made it impossible for Ottawa to impose standards on aboriginal leaders or to demand accountability for the billions spent on reserves by taxpayers or even to offer much advice about how band councils should manage their affairs. The instant a non-aboriginal suggests First Nations leaders are complicit in their own communities’ difficulties — as soon as someone suggests the cause is anything other than lack of federal funding — allegations of racism are made that instantly put an end to the discussion.
    Reserve residents are themselves often concerned about the local state of affairs. But few politicians and bureaucrats are willing to listen because even doing that much is construed as an indirect insult to the competence of First Nations’ leaders.
    If the local fire department couldn’t douse flames at a campsite, if the truck stop built with federal grants alongside the highway through the reserve goes belly up or if gang violence turns a community into a war zone, political correctness dictates the problem must be too few taxpayer funds, not mismanagement, corruption or incompetence.

  11. Nice people in white coats are surely coming for Chris Matthews, bearing soothing injections: Here he is asking Barney Frank whether Newt Gingrich is, all things considered, the embodiment of pure, unadulterated evil.
    Nobody else could make Frank look reasonable and decent.

  16. Emma West, the Englishwoman who was arrested after she was caught on a cell-phone video complaining about immigration, and about how England isn’t England anymore, has had her children taken away. From the link: “For a woman to have her children taken away because she expressed opinions disliked by the ruling class means we have come as close as doesn’t matter to a totalitarian police state.”
    No kidding.
    There’s a lot of comment/posting on British blogs about this development, but British newspapers don’t seem to have much to say about it.

  21. Coke Cancels Global Warming-Themed Cans After Outcry & Confusion.
    Coke’s “white can” ad campaign was initiated as a part of Coke’s joint effort with the World Wildlife Fund to raise awareness for global warming and its “threat to the polar bears and their Arctic habitat,” writes the Wall Street Journal. Along with changing the Coca-Cola Classic cans from red to white, the company also pledged to contribute up to $3 million to conservation efforts.

  22. ron in kelowna, they’ve apparently had a change of heart about censoring the results. I just voted skeptical and the results are now 40.7% skeptical, at 2:56 AM. (biggest category is 48.5% worried, with the other categories getting a few percent each.)

  24. Yes the Arctic is getting warmer. If you lived there you would know that. That of course does not in any way support the AGW religion that believes the warming is caused by humans. Try to grasp the simple fact that AGW is a scam, however global warming from natural planetary cycles is very real. It’s been warmer than now before and it will be warmer again.

  25. So,the co-manager of the Attawapiskat reserve happens to be the common-law hubby of the Chief.CTV’s Dannielle Hammamjin reported this on the Nat.last eve.Wonder why Angus didn’t know this…and cbc hasn’t reported this either.When the Chief was confronted about the possible ‘conflict of interest’ here,she got quite huffy.Be nice if we could get some hard truth out of this mess.

    “Province retains control of solar energy”
    “Ontario Energy Minister Chris Bentley had little to offer municipalities seeking more control over wind and solar energy projects during a media telephone conference Thursday.
    Questioned about the matter, the minister insisted a provincewide approach is the only way to ensure the process does not stall.
    A patchwork approach of municipal regulations subject to frequent change amounts to “no rules at all” and would discourage investment in the industry, said Bentley.”

    “Construction company Carillion has warned 4,500 staff their jobs are at risk because of government plans for a dramatic cut in solar energy subsidies.
    The company has begun a statutory 90-day consultation period in its energy services division prior to the anticipated slashing of feed-in tariffs.
    The tariffs, known as FITs and paid by energy companies to households and communities who produce electricity via solar panels on their roofs, would be more than halved under government proposals.
    Ministers are also proposing cutting the subsidies by 12 December instead of April 2012, the date the solar industry is calling for.”

  35. Suzuki’s site now has a litle video that explains the rip-off of ‘symbolic’ gifts. There is also a disclaimer prominently posted.
    Too late for one person I know(cough,cough),but at least now people won’t be deceived so easily.
    He is such a scumbag.
