  1. Mind-blowing markup for medicinal pot…http://www.thestar.com/News/article/203446
    “Records obtained under the Access to Information Act show Health Canada pays $328.75 per kilogram of bulk medical marijuana produced by Prairie Plant Systems Inc. It has a $10.3-million contract with Health Canada that expires Sept. 30, to grow standardized medical marijuana in an abandoned mine shaft in Flin Flon, Man.
    Health Canada, in turn, sells the pot to a small group of authorized users for $150 (plus GST) per 30-gram bag of ground-up flowering tops, with up to 14 per cent THC, the main active ingredient. That works out to $5,000 per kilo, a markup of more than 1,500 per cent.
    ”
    Mind Blowing? Who makes up these headlines? Hehehe

    “After Stronach’s 2005 defection to Paul Martin’s Liberals on those grounds, which ended her relationship with MacKay, Stronach was not given the chance by the Martinites to prove her mettle in the ballyhooed “democratic renewal” cabinet post with which she was rewarded for her defection.”

    Massive rally against ‘Lal Masjid Sharia’ (Ordinary Pakistani’s stand up to Jihadi’s)
    KARACHI, April 15: The Muttahida Qaumi Movement on Sunday staged a massive rally in the city against what it called the threat of ‘Kalashnikov Sharia’ of Islamabad’s Lal Masjid clerics and asserted that Islam did not allow enforcement of Sharia by force and Pakistan had not been created to be turned into a theological state.
    In a telephonic address from London, party chief Altaf Hussain quoted profusely from the Holy Quran and Hadith to substantiate his attack on religious extremism. He said that extremists were defaming Islam and maligning the name of Pakistan and because of their acts of violence and terrorism, India, Afghanistan and other countries were describing Pakistan as a sanctuary of terrorists. He described the scholars supporting the Sharia of Lal Masjid and Jamia Hafsa as “Ulema-i-Sou” and said they were misleading the country and the people. …-

  11. Wish I had the local Kelowna radio station audio.
    Dion; “It is nice to be in ‘Koe-lin-a.” &*???
    Say what you like Dion, and say it how you want.
    But what is really scary is the Susan Rileys of the world siding with a Kultist.
    If Dion had brains he would be dangerous. The media, however, may well be the substitute for brains.

  12. One thing liberals and conservatives can agree on – Bob Cole is awful. Last night’s game might have been his worst ever.

  13. Dion has told liberals to vote for the Greens, and today Jason is having a hissy fit, and suggests that all old liberals no longer belong in the party. Someone wrote that the riding assoc in Central Nova was involved in the decision.
    Another lie in the headlines, 15 years for Afgan mission. Yesterday, on QP, O’Connor said that Canada might be in the field for up to 15 yrs, Somalia, Darfur ect. He did not say we would be in Afgan for 15 years. He did state we are there till Feb 2009 only. Any extension would be decided by the Government, after discussion in the HofC.

  14. newsflash…that storm is hitting eastern ontario all right….school buses cancelled….hwy 401 closed….I just drove from hwy 401 to hwy 7 and back…it is total winter, and I mean TOTAL!!!!!
    where is my global warming????dr fruit fly and his merry band of leftards owe me a refund!!!!

  16. I think what we are seeing in Quebec is the pendulum swinging hard the other way….the pequistes and the libranos have been shoving leftard social engineering down the average Quebecer’s throat for so long, that this is just a natural reaction to runaway socialism…..expect the same in Ontario in the not too distant future….for us Ontarions do not have the nuts to lead, we just need to see some backbone from our neighbour to the east

  17. Gee KingstonLad, did your really mean 401 and 7?
    I’m just west of there and there’s nary a flake in sight. Sorry, let me correct that. Nary a SNOWflake in sight. Lots of flakes on the road though.

  18. mary T,
    I heard those comments too by O’Conner on QP. But both on the radio today and in headlines, the media twists O’Conner as if he said 15 years in Afghanistan.
    Our problem in the West is dealing with what Rummy said a couple of years ago; we don’t have metrics or measurements to offer the public as to whether or not we are winning the War or even battles.
    Sending tanks to Afghanistan to protect our troops becomes “escalation” not peacekeeping as the NDP whined on QP. Peacekeeping is such a misnomer to begin with … if things are so peaceful why would we be there?
    I sure hope in 2008 the US elects Fred Thompson or Rudy Giuliani who can articulate what we in the West are up against. As much as I admire Bush’s backbone on not cutting and running; it would be nice if the next President (leader of the free world) were able to give the West a fireside chat about Islamofascists and what it will take to win.

  21. “Native embarrassed by actions”
    Sachem
    April 13, 2007
    Let me start with Douglas Creek Estates. There’s no reason for the natives to be still occupying the disputed land. The land has been bought out by the provincial government.
    What are we proving by occupying land that no developers can build on anyways? We got what we wanted; we stopped Henco Industries from building. What more do you want?
    We call ourselves a sovereign nation, pure and respectful people but that’s far from the truth. I live with the so called sovereign nation. Alcohol , drugs, greed and jealously run rampant within this nation. I’m sick and tired of all the cigarette shop owners opening up in almost every other driveway. Do all these cigarette shop owners think about what they are making our reserve look like. This is where the greed and love of money come into play. What a disgrace!
    I quit attending longhouse myself due to the unfaithful clan mothers, faith keepers and chiefs that ‘don’t practice what they preach.’ Mostly everyone attending bootlegs sells drugs or owns a cigarette shop. I’m almost ashamed to be a native.
    Why are so many native people uneducated when we have our education paid for? Non-natives work tow or three jobs to pay for their education. If more natives attended post secondary school we could change our statistics on native unemployment and education.
    Last but not least, we need to do some housecleaning with the police force. I have absolutely no respect for our peacekeepers. When you see them disrespecting themselves along with their integrity by being intoxicated among the general a public,(off-duty, of course), but also the other stories. How could anyone have respect for such a corrupt police force?
    I am currently attending and obtaining my post-secondary education. I’m not into politics, so I can say whatever I please. It’s called freedom of Speech.

  22. Great poll results in G&M today..on who benefits most from the Red Green ,held together with duct tape deal
    Libs-24%
    Green-5%
    Cons-63%
    NDP-8%

  23. Another blow to female liberal candidates. Lethbridge just nominated the same male that ran last time against a female. Rick Casson-35,500 votes, ndp-7900+ votes, liberals 5000+votes. I don’t think Rick has to worry about.

    Heavy snow brings cancellations, frustration
    Ottawa Citizen
    Published: Monday, April 16, 2007
    The massive storm that had been dumping heavy rain and floods on the U.S. brought several centimetres of snow to Ottawa early Monday, making a mess of the roads and cancelling some school buses.
    …
    In the U.S., the storm was called one of the nastiest spring nor’easters in years. It roared over the East Coast early Monday, bringing umbrella-breaking wind and relentless rain that forced evacuations from New Jersey to West Virginia.
    Of course it is all my fault as I summoned this storm in the run up to Easter to prevent the “Goreacle” from preaching his nonsense. Lets keep the Goreacle’s plane grounded.

  26. And ANOTHER blow to female Lib candidates.
    Larry Dianni, former mayor of Hamilton has been nominated as the candidate for Hamilton East-Stoney Creek. This is currently being held by the NDP, however it was formerly solid Lib territory held by such bandits as Tony Valeri and Sheila Copps.
    The whole area is crawling with liberals. You’d think they could find a qualified female amongst the herd.

  27. …From Captain’s Quarters
    http://www.captainsquartersblog.com/mt/
    …what we will get from this process of multiculturalism is precisely the kind of ‘separate but equal’ facilities struck down by the Supreme Court in Brown v Board of Education in 1954. These Muslim activists want to create a separate society within the United States for Muslims, and they want the US to provide them the facilities with which to create it. Separate dorms, separate cafeterias, Muslim-only physical-education classes — they want a separate Muslim college at MCTC and everywhere else.
    It’s self-initiated apartheid.

  30. Green Party talking points in the 2006 election:
    Paraphrased by a university student who was involved in the party:
    “If you HATE the government and HATE old style politics vote Green and skrew the government.
    For every Green vote we get $1.75 to lobby the suckers. Your Green vote is a protest and they PAY us for it.”
    Sooooo, dear taxpaying friends – the suckers (that’s US) PAID more than $1.4 million for the Green Party lobby protest group posing as a political party to skrew us.
    Dear Elizabeth May is doing that quite nicely already don’t you think.
    In my opinion May is one of the most sinister kinds of lobbyists. She “feigns” tht she is some kind of country bumpkin political neophite all giggly and soooooo “sincere”. Very Clinton-ish. Good old girl.
    This “political neophyte” was born into an American Democrat family of political activists. She has been “lobbying” and politicizing all her life no matter what the cause. Clinton and Gore are “close” family friends. Her giggle girl persona is an act.
    And this American poseur now wants to tell all of us rubes that our political system stinks and SHE wants to do things differently!!!!
    If she really really wanted to enact change instead of just being one of a long long list of special interest and one trick pony lobbyists she would help support PM Harper with his attempts to reform goverment – one step at a time and in keeping with the constitution – not hurdling over it while WE pay for her to have a loud mouth and stamp her little foot demanding “entitlements” and for all to bow because she is “leader” of a rudderless vacant party of social misfits.
    Pollsters have also commented that the percentages of people who say they will vote Green are basically anti-society protest voters who would choose “don’t vote” or “none of the above” but the Green Party is about the same anti-government statement.
    If one of those radical over the top rhetoric loony tunes, and I put May in that category, looked like they were going to end up being your MP I think people would be very very upset.

  31. Breaking News: a shooting at Virginia Tech University.
    “BLACKSBURG, Va. — Shootings in a dorm and classroom at Virginia Tech left at least one person dead and seven or eight more wounded Monday before police arrested the suspected gunman, officials told the Associated Press.
    “Police confirmed they had a suspect in custody, the university said on its Web site…”

  32. Garth Turner sat as an independant, Chuck Cadman sat as an independant, and there are others. Deb Grey was the lone Reform MP for a long time. How often did you see them ask a question in the HofC, or hear of any involvement on committees etc. So, if May ends up as a lone red/green MP, how often will she be heard or seen. Only in close votes of confidence do these lone MPs get any attention. Of course, electing her might be a good way of silencing her and seeing she is ignored. What does she really think she could do or influence in the HofC. She would have to cross and sit as a liberal to have any input, so why not be honest and tell the voters and her party members, I AM A LIBERAL IN HIDING & WAITING TO BE A MINISTER IN DION’S CABINET.
    To sit as a green MP, she will have absolutely no power, or influence.

  33. Storm in eastern Canada: “The Gore Factor”, is in full effect. Pray for Calgary he is coming here on April 23rd to spout his lies and nonsense and then we will feel the mirth of God. The golf courses just opened ,well alot of them, some are still closed due to an unusually cold and wet April. With Gore coming here we are likley in for golf club closures.

  34. More news on Virginia Tech shooting, which I just got from BNN: a police officer has estaimated the number of fatalities at twenty now. It’s turned into a massacre.
    A student seemed to have been behind it; he’s now dead.

  38. No matter how many times O’Connor and Harper reiterate we are committed to Afghanistan to February, 2009 the gawd-damned media and Dipsticks keep asking. What part of the answer can they not understand?
    What on earth is Albert Gore going to Calgary for?
    Surely they will boot him out of town! Don’t they prefer real folks over Charlatans? He’s about as phony a windbag as we’ve seen in recent times.
    Are Dion and his admirer Lizzie May going to be sharing the stage with him? Great photo op for Loonies.

  39. 22 including the gunman,21 wounded.How in hell did he get from one building to another without any warning? And what was he using to take 21 innocent lives? Special forces only wish they could as well. Sad beyond my comprehension.

  40. Ahhhhh jeeze….a “reporter” on Fox news just said it has been “one heck of a day at Virginia Tech” One heck of a day? Guess it beats spetacular(sp?)

  41. How long before calls for teachers to have guns. And, how come, not one male made any move to tackle this killer. Remember LETS ROLL. I know the students were in shock at the guy with a gun, but when will students start to take action, other than protesting Bush. Sympathy to all the parents and family of the deceased. The shooter is dead, but his ethnic origin has not been announced. Calgary stopped a plot to kill students.

  43. Hans Rupprecht at April 16, 2007 11:21 AM,
    I hope you don’t have the same thing in store for my friends in Regina. I appreciate that the Goracle fully deserves every winter storm that can possibly impede him. But Regina doesn’t really need a winter storm on April 23. Do you think you could arrange for it to happen in whatever city he uses for his departure on that day instead?

  44. I wonder how many of forty-two (twenty-one dead so far) victims were in favour of gun control.
    At least in Canada, the Liberals, NDP, Green and the Bloc have the good sense to push for both gun control and registration.

  45. albatros:
    How exactly did Canada’s gun registry stop Kimveer Gill? His guns were legally registered and some were even “controlled” as restricted weapons.

  46. Apropos of nothing… from http://www.roanoke.com/news/roanoke/wb/wb/xp-50658
    Gun bill gets shot down by panel
    HB 1572, which would have allowed handguns on college campuses, died in subcommittee.
    By Greg Esposito
    381-1675
    A bill that would have given college students and employees the right to carry handguns on campus died with nary a shot being fired in the General Assembly.
    House Bill 1572 didn’t get through the House Committee on Militia, Police and Public Safety. It died Monday in the subcommittee stage, the first of several hurdles bills must overcome before becoming laws.
    The bill was proposed by Del. Todd Gilbert, R-Shenandoah County, on behalf of the Virginia Citizens Defense League. Gilbert was unavailable Monday and spokesman Gary Frink would not comment on the bill’s defeat other than to say the issue was dead for this General Assembly session.
    Virginia Tech spokesman Larry Hincker was happy to hear the bill was defeated. “I’m sure the university community is appreciative of the General Assembly’s actions because this will help parents, students, faculty and visitors feel safe on our campus.”

  47. The Conservatives are in favour of tougher regulations, restrictions, background checks, registrations and tougher laws to control “gun OWNERS’.
    So which is more rational?
    Guns don’t kill people. Gun OWNERS kill people.

  48. Well well.It did not take long for the Mop & Pail to shut down their comments section on the VA Tech story. Glad they a pushing free speech.
    Albie39…name me ONE gun-related crime that has been solved by the Registry.And oh,BTW,criminals DO NOT register their guns.Guess that’s why we call them criminals.You don’t have the balls to arm yourself and protect yourself and your family,that’s actually a good thing.One more idiot down to Darwin’s Law.

  49. Dear eliza and felis corpulentis:
    The “Goreacle” will need to tend his own hypocritical estate. Carbon credit fraudster!
    You will need just a little faith to ‘move mountains’
    so what is up with a mighty wind from the “True North , Strong and Free”?
    I have put my ORDER in but you will be required to assist by your own little prayer and we will get a nice blast from the wilds of HANS ISLAND.

    Ya know Albatris you’re so fXXXing ignorant of realities and facts that you are a danger to yourself, your family and your society.
