  1. Such a hart warming video, pity there was no sound to accompany it. Hope at least some of the damage is permanent.

  3. “Israel will significantly relax its regulations governing gun licenses, a move that would instantly allow hundreds of thousands of Israelis to acquire a firearm…

    “The updated guidelines are a direct result of efforts by Likud MK Amir Ohana, who has long pressed for Israel to relax its tightly regulated firearms industry in order to allow citizens to protect themselves from terrorism.

    “‘A civilian carrying a weapon is more of a solution than a threat, and doubles as assistance for the security forces,’ Ohana said, pointing out that ‘in 11 attacks in just the Jerusalem area, they neutralized the threat.'”

  4. Georgia prison lifers will soon get a long-overdue opportunity to embrace a Hollywood pedophile.

    “Soap opera star Corey Sligh has been convicted of one count of child molestation over claims made by a female family member.

    “Sligh, who starred in The Young And The Restless, was found guilty by a Georgia jury of one count of child molestation and cleared of another.

    “The actor is also accused of child molestation against the same girl, who was eight years old at the time the crimes were reported, in a separate incident in Florida and is still awaiting trial on that charge.”

    1. Jason Kenney campaigns and fundraises in mosques. His Lieutenant Mike Ellis won his nomination via the Masjid mosque. Ric McIver and Jonathan Dennis has also known to be cozy with Imams and structured police policy to be very favorable to Islam as Attorney General. The brain trust of the UCP will not be looking out for our interests.

      1. Well, we know it’s pandering when politicians go to places of worship when campaigning. It’s skirting around mixing religion and politics, two things that do not mix well in a cohesive democracy. We are all free to worship as we please, it should have nothing to do with politics or the common good.

    2. I think someone who is not afraid to say what they think is refreshing, and this guy’s remarks are things we have heard before. Having said that, in an election, he would be tainted by the remarks, and that would become the central issue — not policies or anything else he had to say. So, it was gracious of him to resign when asked, and I am glad he did not grovel or apologize if he believes his views are correct.

    “Boralex, Invenergy Ontario Clean-Power Projects Hit by Ford”

    “Renewable-power contracts from Boralex Inc. and Invenergy LLC are among those targeted for cancellation by Ontario Premier Doug Ford, who’s working to terminate or wind down more than 750 contracts in a revamp of the province’s energy policies.

    The list of contracts in Ford’s crosshairs, released on Friday, includes one with the 50-megawatt Otter Creek Wind Farm in western Ontario, which is being developed in a partnership between Montreal-based Boralex and RES Canada. Also targeted is the proposed Strong Breeze Wind Project near Lake Erie, a 57.5-megawatt wind farm being developed by Invenergy, a closely held firm based in Chicago.”

    1. Actually, As a new person to Provincial politics, I suspect that Ford is not personally making a lot of these decisions — rather, he has a lot of smart people behind him, and he appears to recognize that and back them up. It will be a winning formula for him.

    1. I do too, particularly when you have Sweden near the top. The only reason they are up there is because journalists are all okay with what they cannot say.

    “Tories zap 200+ Southwestern Ontario green energy contracts”

    “Solar energy contracts, large and small, dominate the list of deals being scuttled.

    Contracts to harness electricity from other sources, including by burning gas from London’s landfill, also are being unplugged.

    Sun-powered contracts being cancelled extend to centres across Southwestern Ontario, including at the Woodstock hospital.

    In the wider London region, home to the largest wind farms in the province and the most turbines, and where the backlash against costly wind energy projects has been greatest, the hit list includes a project that’s been a lightning rod for rural anger about wind energy.

    Chicago-based Invenergy’s Strong Breeze wind farm project in Dutton Dunwich was imposed under the former Liberal government, even though the rural community southwest of London voted against such projects in the first referendum of its kind in Ontario.”

  10. Fighting Back by the Zman

    http://thezman.com/wordpress/?p=14406

    One of the basic errors the so-called conservatives made when dealing with their Progressive betters is to assume the Left has a rational plan. The Buckleyites always started from the assumption that there was some logical plan behind the liberal schemes, so they spent a lot of time to trying to abductively arrive at the motivation. The Right spent most of their time making well reasoned arguments against what they assumed was the true motivation of the Left. The result was the Left won every battle in the culture war.

    [snip]

    It is an important lesson to learn from the failure of the American Right, in their 20th century fight with the Left. They lost because they never understood the enemy. They invested all of their time conjuring an enemy they could beat with facts and reason, while the Left went about destroying the enemies they had in their path. It’s not a mistake that a new alternative can afford to make. You don’t beat a moral order with reason. You defeat it by attacking it on moral grounds, while offering an alternative moral framework.

    1. “The American Left has always been a spiritual movement. Talking a lefty believer out of their beliefs is as rational as talking a Muslim out of his faith.”

      In other words, leftism is Satanic—much like Islam, the cult of the Amalekites, the only people so evil God specifically commanded their annihilation millenia ago.

      “Moral order” indeed. The goal of the socialist, globalist and Islamic leaderships is to be free of any moral restraints, free to do whatever they think best, answering to no God or man—allowong them to fulfull their disgusting sexual fantasies of raping, torturing, murdering and cannibalizing children, just for starters.

      You defeat all three by defeating them in battle, putting the prophets of socialism, globalism and Islam to the sword, and making their followers choose between repentance and death.
      It needs to be at least as bad for your health to be a leftist in Canada as it is to be a Christian in north Korea—and that’s plenty.

    Did the thief really say: “I’ll have a heapen’, helpen’ bowl of stomp ass!”? Be careful what you ask for.

  14. “The Wave

    The big mystery is what caused the Wave of 2016.

    That remains the big unsolved question, important not merely for academic purposes. Future actions may depend on the answer, for the Wave is probably yet to run its course.

    There is no full explanation as yet for what destroyed the mighty Global World Order, leaving us somewhat like those stock characters in science fiction contemplating the ruins of an unimaginably powerful civilization, yet realizing that something destroyed them: …”

    “At the end of the 20th century, some thought we had actually reached the End of History. Yet two decades later, as Robert Kagan wrote in his Washington Post article “Things Will Not Be Okay,” the great global edifice was smashed beyond repair. Kagan lamented:

    The democratic alliance that has been the bedrock of the American-led liberal world order is unraveling. At some point, and probably sooner than we expect, the global peace that that alliance and that order undergirded will unravel, too. Despite our human desire to hope for the best, things will not be okay. The world crisis is upon us.”
