The UN: providing aid and comfort to counterfeiters;

The UN’s own documentation shows that their leadership had clear knowledge of the criminal enterprise conducted by the Kim Jong-Il regime. They were required to inform the US of it and to provide the evidence for our investigations. Instead, they aided and abetted Kim and Pyongyang in undermining our currency.

  1. Completely different set of laws for “aboriginals.” Disgusting and ridiculous. Sort of like the offence they are taking at being included in a list of possible terrorists. Hmmm…. they may have a point. There’s nothing terrorist-like about Caledonia, Oka, upcoming blockade of railroads. Nope.

  2. “Justin Trudeau didn’t venture too far into current politics yesterday, but he clearly understands the power of his name.
    That’s why the son of former Canadian prime minister Pierre Trudeau agreed to accept an acting role in the television special The Great War, which will air on CBC Sunday and Monday.”
    Anyone else see the irony here?

  3. Shouldn’t Trudeau dress up as a Nazi and terrorize Montreal-area Jews, as his father did?

  4. speaking of different laws for different people….one has to wonder when chimpy mcliar is going to send in the police to crack down on contraband smokes….1 in 4 ciggy’s sold in mcretard land is illegal , our children are buying them, who knows what substances are in them, and organized crime is directly involved….I wonder how long it would take the OPP to shut down my bootleg ciggy factory?

  5. For those people who don’t already read Coyne’s blog, there is a knock-down, drag-out punch-up going on, mostly about Tory policies vs tactics, strategy vs PR, and governing in a minority vs governing in a majority. Good points on both sides, and some snide remarks on both sides. Wells puts his oar in.

  6. It’s taken time to sink in, but finally some people are starting to wake up to the fact that it isn’t just ‘Islamism’ – all of Islam is the problem.
    From the Wall Street (Opinion) Journal (of all places)
    By Dr. Hamid, a onetime member of Jemaah Islamiya, an Islamist terrorist group, and now a medical doctor and Muslim reformer living in the West.
    (Excerpts)
    It is vital to grasp that traditional and even mainstream Islamic teaching accepts and promotes violence. Shariah, for example, allows apostates to be killed, permits beating women to discipline them, seeks to subjugate non-Muslims to Islam as dhimmis and justifies declaring war to do so. It exhorts good Muslims to exterminate the Jews before the “end of days.” The near deafening silence of the Muslim majority against these barbaric practices is evidence enough that there is something fundamentally wrong.
    Yet it is ironic and discouraging that many non-Muslim, Western intellectuals–who unceasingly claim to support human rights–have become obstacles to reforming Islam. Political correctness among Westerners obstructs unambiguous criticism of Shariah’s inhumanity. They find socioeconomic or political excuses for Islamist terrorism such as poverty, colonialism, discrimination or the existence of Israel. What incentive is there for Muslims to demand reform when Western “progressives” pave the way for Islamist barbarity? Indeed, if the problem is not one of religious beliefs, it leaves one to wonder why Christians who live among Muslims under identical circumstances refrain from contributing to wide-scale, systematic campaigns of terror.
    Politicians and scholars in the West have taken up the chant that Islamic extremism is caused by the Arab-Israeli conflict. This analysis cannot convince any rational person that the Islamist murder of over 150,000 innocent people in Algeria–which happened in the last few decades–or their slaying of hundreds of Buddhists in Thailand, or the brutal violence between Sunni and Shia in Iraq could have anything to do with the Arab-Israeli conflict.
    Progressives need to realize that radical Islam is based on an antiliberal system. They need to awaken to the inhumane policies and practices of Islamists around the world. They need to realize that Islamism spells the death of liberal values. And they must not take for granted the respect for human rights and dignity that we experience in America, and indeed, the West, today.
    ———————
    “Indeed, if the problem is not one of religious beliefs, it leaves one to wonder why Christians who live among Muslims under identical circumstances refrain from contributing to wide-scale, systematic campaigns of terror.”
    Probably because Christians are busy planning terror attacks against an innocent New Jersey high school:
    “The head of a national, Texas-based pro-family group says a recent hostage drill at a New Jersey high school, which portrayed conservative Christians as terrorists, is reflective of a dangerous philosophy that has become prevalent in many parts of America, where it is having negative effects on education.
    A local paper reports that a drill at Burlington Township High School in New Jersey involved police portraying mock gunmen, described as “members of a right-wing fundamentalist group called the ‘New Crusaders’ who don’t believe in the separation of church and state.” The fake gunmen were said to have been “seeking justice because the daughter of one [member] had been expelled for praying before class.”
    Uh huh.

    If you haven’t read Andrew Coyne’s latest column or seen his recent posting, prepare for a full-court gob-smacking.

    I just returned from a smoke-buying trip to the Six Nations Reserve yesterday.
    In my opinion, there never will be an incursion by any government agency to attempt to control tobacco sales there.
    Off-reserve manufactured smokes are not much cheaper than at your corner store. One only saves the GST and Provincial Sales Tax.
    Native produced ciggies attract Excise Tax and a Federal Government employee is on-site at all times to monitor production. This particular manufacturer has a contract with the German military to provide all their needs, so I would imagine quality control is in place.
    In short, they are conforming with all laws presently in place. As far as organized crime goes, I wouldn’t want to comment.

  12. I received a flyer from my MLA Christine Melnick wherein she completely fails to mention her previous positions in the government of Doer and most notably her disastrous failure at the helm of the CWS.
    Her only claim of actual management is to take responsibility for Water Stewardship which in fact was formed and managed by her predecessor Steve Ashton. Melnick was moved into the Water Stewardship role after the big responsibility of infrastructure was taken out of the portfolio and has continued her pattern of trying to appear useful while doing nothing!
    Publishing blatantly false and misleading communications material at taxpayers expense to promote herself as a success!
    This is what the Dippers are all about….facts and reality are things to be twisted and abused if not just simply ignored outright!

  13. Re: Andrew Coyne
    I think this columnist/opinionist is a skilled wordmaster. That being said – his job is to sell newspapers. It is how he puts bread on his own table.
    He gets extra points for being controversial so more people read his newspaper.
    Then, if he is getting read and talked about he gets to be invited on talking head news programs to “discuss” the controversial point of view.
    Is it politics? Or, is it show business?
    Coyne is a rabid idealogue. His utopia would be the pure form of Libertarian which he claims he is. Reality of situation seldom budge the views of rigid idealogues (just look at the NDP for example)
    He will never be happy with any political party dealing with reality and I think for a time the Conservatives came closer than the Paul Martin big spending Liberals.
    Recently Coyne’s cousin (Deborah?) became a Federal Liberal candidate. She is divorced from a man who once ran for the NDP!
    The Liberal party is now like a big hunk of Play Doh – Dion and the rest will say and do and think and “policy” whatever power mongers in the backrooms tell them will win them the right to get their hands back on the taxpayer’s money.
    So Coyne, Libertarian opinionista newspaper/media showboat and darling of controversy now has a clean slate to play with. He can “create” a whole new idealogue’s dream of the Liberals.
    He knows he can’t manipulate Steven Harper but he can manipulate the entire Liberal Party by the power of his words.
    What self professed “political” expert used to using the press to manipulate whould not push this to the limit.
    And, the fact that we are talking about it means Coyne’s idealogical /personal power over the masses ploy IS WORKING.
    He may even get a raise.

  15. Wonder if Dion realizes that as an atheist he is targeted. His atheism was mentioned on a newscast re his not going to Vimy. Easter Monday would not have any meaning to him. This celebration re Vimy has been in the news forever. Congrats to the highschool students that are going. So why didn’t one of Dion’s people see to it he got an invitation.

    Solar ‘superflare’ shredded Earth’s ozone
    The largest solar flare in the last 500 years may have shredded Earth’s ozone layer to a greater extent than human-made chemicals have in recent decades, new research suggests, but the effect was only temporary. If such a flare occurred today, it would likely be even more damaging to the ozone and could increase the rate of skin cancer around the world.
    On 1 September 1859, the Sun expelled huge quantities of high-energy protons in a ‘superflare’. The event was seen on Earth by an observer who noticed a white spot on the Sun suddenly brighten for about five minutes.
    When the magnetic storm struck Earth, fires started in telegraph stations due to electrical arcing in the telegraph wires. The northern lights, or aurorae borealis, were reportedly seen as far south as Florida in the US.
    This flare released 6.5 times more energy than the largest solar flare of the satellite era, which occurred in 1989. That flare was strong enough to cause a power blackout in Quebec, Canada. …-

    Mass Murder and Good Intentions
    Current Events Paul R. Hollrah
    April 4, 2007
    On April 25, 2007 we will once again celebrate Africa Malaria Day. Since Africa Malaria Day 2006, more than 400 million Africans – men, women, and children – will have been stricken with the disease. Of those, roughly one million have died.
    It is a terrible disease. The early symptoms include fever, chills, and vomiting, followed by diarrhea, delirium, and unconsciousness. Of those who don’t succumb during weeks of incapacitating illness, many suffer permanent brain damage.
    […]
    After seven months of exhaustive hearings, the EPA Administrative Law Judge, Edmund Sweeney, ruled that, “DDT is not a carcinogenic hazard to man… The uses of DDT under the regulations involved here do not have a deleterious effect on freshwater fish, estuarine organisms, wild birds, or other wildlife…The evidence in this proceeding supports the conclusion that there is a present need for the essential uses of DDT.”
    Nevertheless, in spite of all of the scientific testimony to the contrary, pressure by radical environmentalists caused EPA Administrator William Ruckelshaus, a wealthy member of the Environmental Defense Fund, to reverse Judge Sweeney’s ruling, declaring that DDT was a “potential human carcinogen” and banning its use for virtually all applications.
    Ruckelshaus had not attended the hearings and had not even read the final report. DDT was banned for agricultural use in the USA, and subsequently throughout the world.
    The result? If we were to compile a list of history’s greatest mass murderers, who would we put on our list? Attila the Hun? Ghengis Khan? Josef Stalin? Adolph Hitler? But who is the greatest mass murderer of all time? In the thirty-five years since the banning of DDT, more than 13 billion cases of malaria have been reported, most of them in Third World countries. Of these, more than 87.8 million have died, 90% of them pregnant women and children under age 5.
    Clearly, the top candidate for the title of the greatest mass murderer of all time would be Rachel Carson, the author of Silent Spring, aided and abetted by a host of co-conspirators in the radical environmental movement who carry on her fight against the use of DDT. Ms. Carson was obviously well-intentioned, as are all liberals. Unfortunately, they are rarely willing to live with the unintended consequences of their actions.
    But DDT is now making a comeback in sub-Saharan Africa,…-

    OTTAWA — A defiant government is deregulating the $9.8-billion phone market and overruling the CRTC against the wishes of a parliamentary committee, with all eyes now watching what Minister of Industry Maxime Bernier will do about foreign ownership restrictions on Canadian telecommunications companies.
    Mr. Bernier today followed through with his proposal, made in December, to change how phone companies can set prices. Under the previous rules, companies such as BCE Inc. and Telus Corp. had to apply to the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission to change their prices until they could show they had lost 25% share of a given market to a cable phone competitor, such as Rogers Communications Inc. or Shaw Communications Inc.

  35. Dionsky now says Harper is a hypocrite; apparently in addition to being a big fat meanie who didn’t invite him to Vimy on time. The best one is the Youtube video that says choose Dion for “substance over style.” I might give that further thought when I get an actual policy out of Dion, one that he doesn’t change two weeks later to ensure having it both ways, for and against (also known as the Kerry gambit). Hypocrite eh; would that be like seizing confidential documents and accusing the victims (Tory party) of negligence. Would that be voting against your party’s terror bill (yeh, Stephane, you were in Cabinet then). Would it be like being against a budget before you’ve read it, or against the medical wait times before you’ve read any government material. Maybe it would be, after your MP, when asked about nationalizing oilsands, to accuse others of twisting your words (“there would be consequences” after direct question about nationalization apparently means something else, like sloppy joes this week). Maybe it would be about saying Adscam is old news about the old party, when hundred of Liberals involved are still with party, when buddies are under criminal charges, when you haven’t acknowledged you stole money from taxpayers, let alone paid it back. Maybe it’s about saying you don’t want an election, yet voting against a money bill (budget) in parliament. Maybe it’s about talking about Tory coverup over RCMP (courtesy of Puffy, McCharles and Fife), when several questions were asked for years, under Liberal watch, and were ignored. Maybe it’s about wanting a public inquiry to sweep Liberal mismanagement and cronyism under the carpet. I’m sure there’s more.
    Maybe that’s hypocrisy. No I’m wrong, it’s about substance over style. If I were Harper, I would call an election for sure, shut Dionsky up once and for all, sending him back to grading undergraduate sociology papers on the efficacy of Marxism and Trotskyism. Here in the real world, you have to make policy and, yes, face the electorate.
    Stephen is a bad, bad man; and a big fat meanie bully too. Maybe Dionsky should cry now for effect.

  36. Is Dion now saying that Stephen Harper has STYLE!!!!
    That’s quite funny.
    I actually DO think Harper is a very handsome young man with a lovely family and not a show boat but he does have style- always impeccably dressed and has a quite sweet depreciating smile and sense of humour – but that’s maybe because I’m almost old enough to be his Mom and I’m very proud of him and his lovely very stylish wife and kids.
    In fact, you would not read it in the Canadian media but when they went to Russia the Harpers were the new HOT stylish couple with paparazzi shots in all the papers. They looked fabulous!
    I choose Style AND Substance.
    I also sense that Dion has a very young newbie speechwriter as his speeches are riddled with old trite cliches that might seem to to a youngster.
