  1. It’s always facepalm time somewhere:

    MP Tuula Väätäinen is concerned that Finns participating abroad – such as in Syria – in the ongoing military conflict are without the added protection of soldiers’ compensation law…

  4. Massive Aquifer Discovered in Kenya holds 70 Years Worth of Water, May Reshape Nation:
    “Lying 300 meters underground and spanning a surface area of 4,164 square kilometers, the Lotikipi aquifer is so large that the contents of Loch Ness could be emptied into it about 25 times….Alone, the aquifer holds 900 percent more than Kenya’s current water reserves, ITV reported.”

  5. Illinois Supreme Court declares state’s ban on carrying firearms unconstitutional:

    In an unusually forceful and straightforward opinion in the case of People v. Aguilar, the Supreme Court of Illinois unanimously held that the state’s “comprehensive ban” on the “use of an operable firearm for self-defense outside the home” is invalid on its face under the Second Amendment.

  10. Has any direct link been established to Assad regarding the CW tragedy? Could it be a false flag or rogue officers?
    If the US takes action against Assad, it makes just as much sense to hold Obama responsible for the Fort Hood massacre.

  11. Globe and Mail, Monday, Sept. 16. Letter to the editor comments on the census:
    http://www.theglobeandmail.com/commentary/letters/sept-16-clarity-and-the-census-and-other-letters-to-the-editor/article14321519/
    “If you don’t know what’s going on, you have a perfect excuse to do nothing.”
    Not doing nothing doesn’t seem to have accomplished much over the past several decades. Having information only encourages the progressives to continue pretending that their coercive efforts can accomplish something.
    The abolition of the mandatory long-form census was a stroke of genius by PM Harper.

  13. Sky-high home prices are a vote of confidence in Toronto’s future

    Gee, Marcus Gee, ‘you really think so?
    “To look on the bright side, it says good things about the city that house prices keeping going up and up. It means people want to live here and are willing to pay a premium.”
    ‘Not exactly what a real estate agent told me a couple of years ago, though he’s not too unhappy with the situation. He’s got a BMW, a Mercedes, and a Harley-Davidson. He said that the reason Toronto house prices are soaring is because the market’s flooded by Iranians, Russians, and Chinese.
    ‘Wonder where their money came from? How does a young couple even think of buying a house in Toronto, unless it’s on the outer fringes?

    Attention Canadian, Right Honourable Stephen Harper,
    Prime Minister of Canada
    Dear Mr. Prime Minister,
    I AM,
    Joseph (Joe) Molnar,
    Woodstock, Ontario, Canada
    I was recruited by Patrick Muttart, he, while in High School IN WOODSTOCK, ONTARIO, into the REFORM PARTY.
    Political events have evolved, where, I AM and have been a strong supporter of the Conservative Party and of my MP Dave MacKenzie (former Woodstock Police Chief) and as a volunteer Election Sign Erector for Dave.
    I am 81 years old, but have a need for my “Property Rights” to be entrenched into Canada’s Constitutional Framework.
    Surprisingly, many TIM HORTONS patrons across this land, do not understand that “Property Rights” are not entrenched in our “Constitution” !
    AS A CANADIAN CITIZEN AND FOR THE SAKE OF MY DESCENDENT’S , I DEMAND that “PROPERTY RIGHTS” BE ENSHRINED.
    On my part, not understanding the machinations required to accomplish enshrining “Property Rights” into our Canadian Constitution, does not mean it cannot be done.
    Thomas Mulcair and the NDP are COMMUNISTS, pure and simple, and they are gunning to be the next Canadian Government.
    We WILL never get enshrined Property Rights in the constitution UNLESS YOU NOW ACT!
    I will do a cross – Canada “walk” to highlight the issue, ( OR FIRST NATIONS ISSUES, FOR THAT MATTER) and am willing to start my “walk” on my 82 nd Birthday, next February, but I need a modest motor home for lodging and comfort for my self and my Good Wife of 60 years, but must come from a private source, NOT GOVERNMENT..
    Will you undertake “Property Rights” legislation for Canadians?
    I AM not presently demented NOR INSANE , AND, I AM quite willing to attempt such a “cross Canada” journey.
    However, first your administration must INDICATE a process of “Enshrining Property Rights” in order to forever forestall ANY future Canadian “communist” (MULCAIR) administration to deny us that protection.
    Mulcair and his ND Party band are “communists” sir!
    Your legacy for Conservatism MAY WELL BE be ” Constitutionally Enshrined Property Rights” for Canadians, FOREVER!’
    And less you have not noticed Sir, look at what is currently happening to the USA, once a “commie” administration is in power!
    I AM,
    Joseph (Joe) Molnar
    Woodstock, Ont.
    Post Script:
    Insofar as First Nations concern you Sir, Clarence Louie (self sufficiency in life) should be the “Role Model” for First Nations Youth, as opposed to Shawn Atleo ( takers in life).

    POST, P S
    IF I HAVE MISSED A CC TO ANY MINISTER OR JOURNO, THIS IS A “HUURY UP” EFFORT…. SORRY!

    “Veteran off the grid after smart meter battle with Hydro One”
    “That’s it. He’s off the grid.
    Tuesday is the first day of the rest of Russell Irwin’s life without access to the Ontario power supply.
    He knows that by late Tuesday evening Hydro One will be cutting power to his Orangeville, Ont., home because of his refusal to meet the utility’s demand that he accept a smart meter.
    So this veteran, who served Canada by driving a tank through some of the most harrowing land battles of the Second World War, is doing what he does best.”

  16. To me it sounds more like Operation Shakedown. Detroit’s war on small business – especially those in poor areas and owned by minorities:
    http://reason.com/reasontv/2013/09/17/operation-compliance-detroits-war-on-sma
    Amidst a bankruptcy and a fast-dwindling population and tax base, the city has prioritized the task of ensuring that all businesses are in compliance with its codes and permitting. To accomplish this, Mayor David Bing announced in January that he’d assembled a task force to execute Operation Compliance.
    Operation Compliance began with the stated goal of shutting down 20 businesses a week. Since its inception, Operation Compliance has resulted in the closure of 383 small businesses, with another 536 in the “process of compliance,” according to figures provided to Reason TV by city officials.

  19. Walter F: “Could it be a false flag or rogue officers?” Sure could be. I believe that the intention has been to draw the US into the conflict. The “Arabs” even offered to pay for it (according to Kerry). Assad has nothing to gain by using CW. In fact, he would know that doing so would just get the whole world going after him. There is no logic to the attack being done by Assad. I suspect rebels . . . or possibly a rogue element . . . or possibly a false flag perpetrated by the West who may be concerned about preserving Saudi oil markets and petrodollars.

  20. I’m with Veteran Russell Irwin.
    When living in Southwestern Ontario, my husband and I, without their asking, had a “Smart Metre” installed on the side of our house. It completely ruined our music enjoyment, as it interfered with the frequency of the portable speakers we used to hear music throughout our house. The static was palpable.
    We got speakers on a different frequency, suggested by Hydro, and that didn’t work. Nothing worked. ‘Turns out Hydro used the most frequent bandwidth, because it was the cheapest. I assume we weren’t the only “customers” whose musical enjoyment was curtailed — though they told me I was the only customer complaint.

    “While environmentalists tout benefits of solar power, three solar companies filed for bankruptcy in the past week.
    Each of them blamed intense global competition for its downfall.

    “ECOtality fatality: Green company files for bankruptcy after 115M stimulus funding granted”
    “Taxpayer-backed green energy company ECOtality filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on Monday following weeks of turmoil in which the company laid off employees and ceased filling orders for its electric vehicle charging stations.
    The Department of Energy (DOE), which awarded the company about $115 million in stimulus funds to produce those chargers, suspended payments last month.”

  23. WalterF: “If the US takes action against Assad, it makes just as much sense to hold Obama responsible for the Fort Hood massacre.”
    Well, I agree with the point that I think you are making, namely that taking action against Syria makes no sense at all. However, Obama IS responsible for the Ft. Hood massacre by allowing the jihadi’s to know that they can actually pull off such a brazen stunt and then get away with it! Clinton shares the blame by disarming he troops. They should both be tried for treason.

  25. Good for Abbot. Unfortunately our conservative government seems to be still catering to the fraudsters.
    And about the green energy companies going bankrupt. It couldn’t happen to a more deserving bunch.
    The taxpayers are always the ones getting fleeced.

  26. Bravo Joe Molnar – everything you said in your letter to PMSH rings true. If you have a petition, I would love to sign it; if you encourage it, I will print and send your letter to all M.P.s with my signature on the letter; last but not least, I will walk with you on all my days off when you approach my neck of the woods. I will also walk in support of you when you walk with your banner. We both come from places once home to Canada’s champion of individual rights; Joseph W, Boyle. A man who walked the talk. Joe Boyle was born in 1867, he represents ‘my Canada’ much better than any other ‘rep’ we have ever had pass through the Dominion.
    I do believe our Prime Minister will hear and he will be cheering for you and all who support you and your quest for Property Rights to be enshrined in the Canadian Constitution.
    You are correct about the Dipper leader and his minnions, IMO.
