  1. re the riots in London,Morontario. I do not condone the idjits rioting,but I hope the 1st one to go to court has a damn smart lawyer,and immediately points out to the judge: What about Caledonia? Double standard here judgeipoo.

  2. Ensuring that British Taxpayers’ money is well and truly spent:

    The UK Carbon Trust estimates that the cost of expanding wind turbines to 40 gigawatts, in order to provide 31% of electricity by 2020, could run as high as £75 billion ($120 billion). And the benefits, in terms of tackling global warming, would be measly: a reduction of just 86 megatons of CO2 per year for two decades. In terms of averted rise in temperature, this would be completely insignificant. Using a standard climate model, by 2100, the UK’s huge outlay will have postponed global warming by just over 10 days.
    Moreover, this estimate is undoubtedly too optimistic…

  3. Just saw Irshad Manji speaking at the Calgary Public Library — very inspiring. There was a good crowd present including several members of the Ismaili muslim community who were very supportive. She’d fit right in at SDA reiterating many things we see as obvious such as the excessive deference given to multi-culturalism and the need to exercise free speech, especially when it offends.

  6. A seriously brain addled ceeb indoctrinated libtard eurotrash swine, just compared today’s child murders in Fwance with the defensive action by a nation to stop rockets from Gaza,
    May she rot in hell, and get reincarnated to go through that very experience again and again. Just like the heroic scum that did this.

    Racists in the extreme.
    And why do we keep importing them here by the jet load? Week after week? And paying for them as refugees?
    We have a Refugee Industrial Complex at work, a fifth collumn of hard-left haters, who wish to destroy our society from within. By loading us up with a mass of people whose loyalty lies elsewhere, who have come to transform, not integrate.
    How long before this imported hatred will manifest here?
    Kenney, wake up!
    Canada, wake up!

  7. Dear ‘e’ @ 1:14am: I just read the link you provided. I couldn’t find any mention of a comparison to rockets in Gaza. Might you have another link you forgot to include?

    And the SS would have been proud to have this excrement she was whitewashing as a member:
    “Yesterday’s victims were said to include a 30-year-old teacher, his children aged six and three, and a girl of eight. Investigators said that harrowing film from a security camera showed that the gunman chased one of the girls, caught her and shot her in the head.”

    Hey, a Nasa video to support their own budget, startling!
    And yes, nice, except for the fact the USA borrows 40 cents of every dollar it spends today, You cannot do space without a balanced budget.
    But yes, once that is done, totally agreed, then giddy up!

There are theories that the murderer, who is also believed to have shot dead three paratroopers in recent days, may be a former soldier and neo-Nazi.”

    That it fell so fast, so easy and without a shot was a pleasant surprise.
    “Without an arrangement with the NDP, and with Bob Rae as leader, the Liberals are heading towards gritterdamerung. The end times.
    The ads that started Tuesday, therefore, aren’t original or even a surprise. They will, however, do what they are intended to do. Kill off the Liberal Party of Canada.” Kinsella

    Shurely any corn farmer worried about this would hedge some or all of his expected crop by selling futures, wouldn’t he?

    “A retired U.S. Postal Service carrier who delivered mail to Tom and Mary Ayers in a Chicago suburb in the late 1980s and early 1990s and claims to have met Obama in front of the Ayers home emphatically says yes to all three questions.
    Allen Hulton, who was commended for 39 years of honorable service with the USPS, has given a sworn affidavit to investigators commissioned by Maricopa County, Ariz., Sheriff Joe Arpaio to determine whether Obama is eligible for Arizona’s 2012 election ballot. Hulton has recorded about three hours of video interviews with WND.
    Hulton says that in conversations with Mary Ayers while on his route he learned of the couple’s enthusiasm and support for a black foreign student. One bright, warm Chicagoland day, he recounts, he met the student who fit Mary Ayers’ description in front of the Ayers home in Glen Ellyn, Ill. That young man, Hulton is convinced, was Barack Obama.”

    “Tell them that democracy requires listening to what all Canadians have to say and not trying to demonize or silence those with differing points of view.”

  24. Count the cuts to the left-liberal arts:
    “the abrupt closure”; “the last time”; “the cancellation”.
    Worser: “Three shocks”.
    “Three shocks have hit the Canadian theatre recently. There has been the abrupt closure of the Vancouver Playhouse, a million dollars in the red; the announcement that the annual $100,000 Siminovitch Prize will be awarded this year for the last time; and the cancellation by Toronto’s Tarragon Theatre of Michael Healey’s new play Proud because — according to the author — the theatre feared that the play’s portrayal of Canada’s Prime Minister might result in a libel suit.”
