Nah. This is how it *really* happened: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-05FegAyYQ
Notice that 2 of the future Monty Python cast are in this sketch. While watching it, it looked like bits of it appeared later in “Monty Python and the Holy Grail”.
This apparent April Fools’ joke by the Alberta Dippers is insulting and offensive. (No, I don’t need a safe place. ☺) http://www.alberta.ca/release.cfm?xID=414883A5188FA-D92D-A2EC-22E4C5A5D9DCF7EA
Alberta’s reputation has been tattered in recent months. This sort of frivolity has NO place on a gov’t website. Fine if WestJet and other corps pull an AF joke, but not the gov’t.
In case it gets removed here is some of the text from the ALberta gov’t webpage.
=================================================== Alberta to float oil to tidewater by Zeppelin New technology bypasses NEB, interprovincial disputes
The Government of Alberta has cracked the energy industry’s market access issues with a new initiative to ship bitumen, oil and natural gas directly to foreign markets using Zeppelin balloons.
The New Zeppelin Project will allow Alberta’s energy products to reach international markets without the involvement of the National Energy Board, or difficult negotiations with other provinces.
“Airship technology has advanced by leaps and bounds since the Hindenburg. Balloons are a safe and environmentally friendly means of transporting our energy products. Reputable companies around the world are eager to help us get this project off the ground and reduce our reliance on a single marketplace for our oil.” Premier Rachel Notley
A tendering process for a fleet of 200 of the giant airships is being launched today. The request for qualifications stage stipulates that 50 per cent of the balloons be produced in Alberta.
That crackpot idea again?
I remember in the late 1980s that there was a plan to actually develop an airship here in Alberta. From what I understand, a company received funding from the provincial government for that project but that money was quickly spent and there was nothing to show for it except some nice drawings.
April Fool’s joke? Maybe not….

Well. I see the commies at DND are following Turdope’s lead. http://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/national-war-memorial-sentry-program-suspended-for-2016-season-1.2841698
No sentries. No respect for our fallen soldiers in all wars. So it will be inaccessible to the public. So what? Have they never heard of chain-link fences around a site? Why no sentries outside the fence at the corners? Dangerous to the sentries? What? 1 CER not have any helmets or hard hats? Totally disgraceful and disrespectful.
Shorter but still a good version of the Norman Invasion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhqrpTpoGHk
so that unlike PM Paul Martin, we’ll know the difference between the Invasion of Normandy and the Battle of Normandy.
To be precise one should likely say ‘The Norman Invasion’ because the WWII Battle of Normandy is now sometimes called the Invasion of Normandy.
Agreed. “We Stand on Guard for Thee”, means nothing to Liberals, except
guarding the washroom of the unknown gender.
You got it right.
On the other hand there may be some good news on the horizon, see below.
“The centre left is dead in Europe.
This is the heartening the conclusion of a survey in the Economist which shows that electorates across Europe have lost patience with the squishy, soft-left, metropolitan ‘Social Democrat’ elite which has dominated their politics for the last seventy years.” http://www.breitbart.com/london/2016/04/01/the-soft-left-is-dead-in-europe-good/
Correction-PM Paul Martin’s mistake:
He called The Battle of Normandy The Battle of Norway
The debate is worth watching just to see the stunned look on Louise Arbour’s face as Mark Steyn is eviscerating her. (about the 37 minute mark)
The Munk debate: Mark Steyn made a point about the Wording on the Plaque (1903) at the base of the US Statue of liberty which is now a de-facto UN standard on Immigration. If you research the source of the quote, a Jewish poet by the name of Emma Lazarus, to a Communist organization of NY Jewish Women that was found to be a Subversive institution in 1951 http://jwa.org/encyclopedia/article/emma-lazarus-federation-of-jewish-womens-clubs
It is odd that the UN adopted that Communist wording in 1951.. The same year NY found the Jewish Women to be a subversive institution.
Time to remove that communist plaque from the Statue of Liberty & put it on Lenin’s tomb as another communist lie…
AGW RIP.

Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau may take part in a nude photo-shoot for a gay magazine.
Trudeau is known for making equality his main focus for his leadership and he has supported LGBT rights and feminism.
He is set to make history this year when he becomes the first Canadian PM to march at Pride, according to PinkNews.
Trudeau is now reportedly planning for the nude cover shoot that will raise awareness of body issues and testicular cancer.
Do we have ANY idea who is running the country while Justin skips from one photo shoot to the next?
watched ‘Challenger Disaster: Lost Tapes’.
so how does that go again? oh ya. screw the weather, screw engineering, screw basic material physics, screw common sense, screw err on the side of caution, screw the whistleblower (oh did he EVER get screwed), and anybody else in the way.
ey, youse. dis is NASA. we gots a schedule to keep. we’s da bosses and we says launch da fcukin’ space craft. whatayawaitinferChristmas?
then Ronald Raygun gets on the tube talking about ‘touch the face of God’. ya idjits. if you had WAITED to launch the craft with O-rings UNTESTED in freezing weather the whole shuttle program might have been extended, including the Challenger. NO NEED to ‘touch the face of God’.
but that’s hindsight. I however get to indulge in said hindsight seeing as the moment I heard about the infamous heat shield tiles it was uh oh. another reason to invest in 10s of thousands of special purpose satellites instead, some even launched in clusters to swarm the entire solar system like bees.
but sure enough the rest is history.
That Challenger disaster sure screwed up the 1985 Chicago Bears – 1986 Super Bowl Party.
Just watched the Monk debate.
Madame Arbour was out of her element. She is not used to her ideas being challenged – and to being called Louise. She is a judge after all and a judge has complete supremacy in a court room.
That being said she became rather circumspect about 1 hour in and went silent. I think she might have felt the debate had slipped to a level beneath her . When she was asked to speak she subtly chided the Cons suggesting the debate be less apocalyptic. Louise supports ink dried on paper. If the definition was good in 1951, well, it’s still good today. Who care if things have changed.
Unfortunately the debate while entertaining changes nothing. Louise Arbour’s opinion prevails at the UN and in Brussels. Something drastic will have to occur before the euro trash wake up.

Many of people here‘ve seen this clip.
Carlin is damning the system.
It seems as though, more often than not, he is onto something.
Could be talking about the Canadian ruling class, it sucks so much, with The Mannequin (very succinctly introduced by Liz J here http://www.smalldeadanimals.com/2016/04/promise-made-pr.html#comment-1031170) chief airhead.
Some industrial language spoken there.
