  4. Senior police officer in Toronto beclowns himself, calls a hunting rifle, a 12″ gauge shotgun and a .410 single shot shotgun “very high powerful military-style (weapons) that would do a lot of harm to a lot of people”

    So, if you are a gun owner, and you don’t own handguns or restricted firearms, and you think that that “banning” stuff only applies to scary guns…. think again. They come for your hunting rifle next.

  12. ” Give it a shot — watch the video and donate $3 (that’s just 75 cents after your tax credit).

    When you do, you’ll automatically be entered for the chance to win dinner with Justin and four guests in your town, as well as one of twelve limited-edition Justin Trudeau scarves.
    You could also answer your phone to find Justin is calling you to say thank you for your donation. ”
    WOW,that settles it for me, I’m in. I’ll pay three bucks for the chance to answer and say “Justin Trudeau,hmmm, I can’t place you,but that lisp is kind of gay. You must have dialed the wrong number.”

  14. I think that my link to the Liberal party trips the filter. I won’t put it in this comment.
    The Libs may not be doing all that well with their scarf promotion so they have upped the ante. If you give them $3,you also get a chance at this life altering bonanza;
    ” You could also answer your phone to find Justin is calling you to say thank you for your donation.”
    They also have a video embedded in their letter, offering a ” behind-the-scenes look at our priorities “. The only problem with that(so far),is that when you click on the video,it takes you to a page asking for a few more dollars.
    It must be embarrassing to long-time Liberals to watch their party fall apart.

  15. Check the CBC site, amazingly enough there seems to be no mention of the Obamacare fiasco.
    King Barrack must have got it all fixed, huh?

  19. Perhaps it further confirms my suspicions, (ok, it’s not really a suspicion) but the BBC wasn’t too alarmed until the Lenin statue was toppled this morning. Now of course, they have a breaking news red banner for this statue info, still not enough to topple Mandela’s funeral from the top.
    Live blogging of the Ukrainian protests are at the same site you’ve cited :

  22. As though gardening and preserving food requires gov’t funding:
    (However did people in remote areas survive without the gov’t and charitable foundations?) These bureaucrats should visit Ronnings Garden! Now that is remote!
    VICTORIA – Remote First Nations communities throughout British Columbia will receive $700,000 from the Heart and Stroke Foundation, through funding from the Provincial Health Services Authority, to grow community gardens – helping to provide fresh produce to those who would otherwise have limited access to these healthy foods.
    The Food Systems in Remote First Nations project is a collaboration with the Heart and Stroke Foundation. The project provides funding to help 15 gardens previously established through the Produce Availability in Remote Communities Initiative. The two-year project has successfully completed its first growing season. Participants will be able to enjoy produce from the gardens throughout the fall and winter, because the program also provides support for food preservation workshops.
    This program will help to further integrate the gardens into communities by providing community engagement workshops and training. It will also provide food preservation training to ensure that healthy food is available year-round. It will also help some communities develop their gardens into small-scale agricultural businesses, helping to build the local economies. At the end of next year, communities will have the tools needed to continue the gardens on their own as part of a community agriculture food plan.
    The 15 First Nations communities are located in remote areas of the province where access to fresh produce is often very limited. Having access to healthy, fresh vegetables and fruit is fundamental to preventing chronic illness and being able to live a healthy lifestyle.

  24. Transcript – Godfrey Bloom – Member of European Parliament
    Mr. President, I am minded to quote the great American philosopher Murray Rothbard here. The state is an institution of theft. Tax is just about a system of politicians and bureaucrats who steal money from their citizens to squander in the most disgraceful manner. This place is no exception.
    Fascinatingly, and I really don’t know how you manage to keep a straight face when you are talking about tax evasion. The whole commission and the commission bureaucracy avoid their taxes. You don’t pay taxes like citizens pay taxes. You have all sorts of special deals: tax rates, high tax thresholds, non-contributing pension schemes. You are the biggest tax avoiders in Europe. And here you sit pontificating, well the message is getting home to the people of the European Union.
    You are going to find that eurosceptics are coming back in June, in ever greater numbers. And I can tell you worse, as the people get your number, it won’t be long before they storm this chamber and hang you. And they’ll be right.

    “Deadly ice storm sees US temperatures drop to -29C”
    “A powerful icy storm system is sweeping across the US, resulting in temperatures dropping to -29C and lower as well as deaths, power cuts and massive travel disruption.”
    “Four people have died in the San Francisco Bay area of California as a result of hypothermia, and at least six deaths in traffic-related incidents were blamed on the severe weather across several states.
    One person died in North Texas after a pick-up truck lost control on an icy bridge.
    In Virginia, state Emergency Management spokeswoman Laura Southard said the storm had the potential to be a “historic ice event”.”

  31. Thank you to those posting references to the toppling of the Lenin statue in Kyiv. Yahoo and bravo! However, I don’t expect that the statue of Lenin in Zaporozhye will be toppled soon, nor will Lenin Street, Lenin Dam, nor Lenin Harbour be renamed anytime soon.
    With this kind of demonstration and the sheer size of it would suggest that something approaching the Orange Revolution could be happening, as one of the speakers towards the end of one of the video clips kept saying revolution.
    The people east of the Dnieper River will not be impressed with this and there could well be bloodshed before this is over.
