  1. According to Terry Glavin, this Swedish woman is the ANTI-MULCAIR.
    “It is a sign of how upside-down modern politics has become that one assumes that a politician who defends freedom of speech and women’s rights in the Arab world must be some kind of muscular liberal, or neocon, or perhaps a supporter of one of Scandinavia’s new populist right-wing parties whose commitment to human rights is merely a cover for anti-Muslim hatred. But Margot Wallström is that modern rarity: a left-wing politician who goes where her principles take her.”

  2. I get a kick out of socialists! Tonight, the TV networks are seething with venom from the wake of the Alberta budget. CTV news channel for example went on a lengthy rant about the deficit, yet only a blurb about today’s Quebec budget that failed to address any problems.
    How bad is a 5 Billion deficit in Alberta??
    The Alberta oil sands when completely refined could yield as high as 1.7 trillion barrels.
    Try to imagine how much cash that will produce for the province. Even at today’s price ($51.00 US) that’s enough to pay off the USA’s deficit 6 times over!

  3. We learn that “the cost of attending university doesn’t end with tuition and textbooks; there are also “success costs,” which are much more difficult to quantify, writes Alyssia Fogarty for University Affairs.” These costs “include the price of engaging socially in a discipline, whether by attending an event, joining an academic organization, or paying for food and drinks at social gatherings. …
    Ms Fogarty explains: “Being socially familiar with your classmates grants you more confidence to speak up in class discussions, offer critical commentary and opposing perspectives, participate in study groups, and collaborate on additional projects.”

    I think that the idea is that university bursaries should cover the costs of attending social gatherings, paying low-income students for volunteer work, and, for all I know, covering spring break in the Dominican Republic to help students become “socially familiar” with their classmates.

  4. Levin’s sentencing will be reported in a small little clip.
    What we need to happen in Ontario right now is the resignation of Energy Minister Bob Chiarelli, he’s beyond just incompetent, he’s totally out of his league. What’s happening with the Hydro rates in Ontario is obscene when we have are selling surpluses at give away prices to the US.

  5. This is a transcript of an interview with a young Russian who worked at Putin’s Internet Research Institute (“Ministry of Truth” ) where hundreds of paid Trolls write and post all day long to influence attitudes:

    Yes, I know, Russia isn’t the only place where this is going on.
    As Kathy Shaidle says, read any political article here but read it “upside down” and you can start to pick out the paid trolls.

  6. Good friggen bye, Harry Reid. On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being a good, honest, decent man and 10 being a tacky, charmless dishonest prick, I would suggest that the scale would have to go up to at least 15 to properly capture Harry Reid.

  7. Just this week I attended a meeting with the CEO of our local power distributor.
    After allowing for her politically correct ass covering words, it was obvious she has no
    love of our present government and their energy policies.She also pointed out that, without the installation of smart meters, our electricity costs would have DECREASED! She remained silent on the issue of windmills and giant mirrors.
    PS- Bad Touch Bennie will get a slap on the wrist.

  8. Funny that article mentions tinfoil hats in the first paragraph, because that’s what immediately popped into mind when I saw your post. The story did get into one of the papers the other day.
    I think the thesis of the lawsuit is that the Bank of Canada should be inflating the currency by printing fiat money rather than borrowing. It’s an extreme-left viewpoint, not one that we should give any credibility to.
