Canada’s chattering classes just have a hard time saying terrorism don’t they.
Today is a broadcast, not a podcast. I was called to fill in for the legendary Lowell Green on Ottawa’s 580 CFRA. I talked about the soon to be released Zehaf-Bibeau video and why some can’t call it terrorism. Also on the show, Ontario’s smart meters, Shania Twain talk and curling including Mike Rowe narrating curling.

Topics – Patricia Arquette, millionaire actress wants wage equality, Kathleen Wynne pushes radical sex-ed to dodge bribery allegations and GOP candidates face a special kind of attack.

“prep time, full pay for maternity and disability leave, more professional days, less classroom teaching time, more extended health benefits including acupuncture, massage therapy, fertility treatments and significant changes to remuneration for teachers on call are just some of the issues being negotiated.
I suspect that these issues are not on the agenda of a significant number of teachers but their own union rules prevent them from speaking out. Rule 8 of the BCTF Code Of Ethics clearly states, “The teacher acts in a manner not prejudicial to job actions or other collective strategies of her or his professional union.” Speaking out against the decisions of the union leadership clearly violates this order and opens the teacher up to disciplinary action.”

A funny thing happened over the weekend: While President Obama took heat for saying he didn’t have a strategy to deal with the Islamic State (also known as ISIS and isil) in Syria, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) delivered a pretty remarkable statement (for a potential Presidential Candidate).
“If I were president, I would call a joint session of Congress,” Paul told the AP. “I would lay out the reasoning of why ISIS is a threat to our national security and seek congressional authorization to destroy ISIS militarily.”

How much bigger should the discrepancy in salaries & benefits get between private sector taxpayers and public employees?
Teachers are “falling ill in record numbers. This troubling, pernicious illness tends to strike hardest on Fridays and Mondays, particularly when the sun is shining.”
BC Teacher’s massage demand alone could potentially cost $120 million a year.
Will taxpayers stand up to financial shock of these lavish wages & benefits?

“YOU GUYS ARE RUINING MY BEARD FETISH. Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve loved a man with a beard. To me, they meant strength, power, MANLINESS. Someone who could protect me. Unfortunately, you guys have turned it into a fashion statement. The beard has turned into the padded bra of masculinity. Sure it looks sexy, but whatcha got under there? There’s a whole generation running around looking like lumberjacks, and most of you can’t change a f**king tire.
Look, I get it. I really do. I understand the motivation behind your beardedness. In fact, I even pity you. Thousands of years of evolution priming you guys to kill stuff, and chase stuff, and f**k stuff….and now what? You’re stuck at a desk all day. No battles to fight. No wars to wage. So you assert your masculinity the only way you know how. You brew beer. You grow some hair on your face. I’ve seen you, hipsters, sitting in downtown eateries, with your rock chick girlfriends, dipping your truffle fries, trying not to get the aioli in your mustache. I’ve seen the quiet desperation in your eyes. I know you’re screaming into the void.
But I still hate you for it. You’re confusing me. It’s now on me to suss out who is the real man and who is the poseur. Sadly, I fear most of you are the latter. Before this explosion of whiskers on trendy men everywhere, if I saw a bearded man it was safe to assume certain things about him. Like, he probably owned a hammer. Or washed his hair with a bar of Irish Spring. His beard was probably scented with motor oil and probably had remnants of last night’s chili in it…..continue reading

Charles Krauthammer crossed a line. He declared the American Left totalitarian.
He is correct. Totalitarianism is written into the Left’s DNA. Krauthammer wrote about a left-wing petition “bearing more than 110,000 signatures delivered to the [Washington] Post demanding a ban on any article questioning global warming.”
He concluded:
“I was gratified by the show of intolerance because it perfectly illustrated my argument that the Left is entering a new phase of ideological agitation — no longer trying to win the debate but stopping debate altogether, banishing from public discourse any and all opposition. The proper word for that attitude is totalitarian”
Here is some of what the Left has done in the last week or two.

Rising Threat of International War

With the Western economies turning down and no hope in hell no surviving the pension crisis, war is needed to escape the broken economic promises. This is a sad statement to even have to make. But the majority are just a herd of sheep and cannot see past the rear-end of the lamb in front of them.

In 20 years, many low skill jobs will be gone, replaced by software automation, says Bill Gates. Worse, businesses and governments aren’t ready to face the new labor market.
“Software substitution, whether it’s for drivers or waiters or nurses … it’s progressing. … Technology over time will reduce demand for jobs, particularly at the lower end of skill set”

Down and Out: The French Flee a Nation in Despair
Word to the wise:
“How stupid do you think we are? I have visited the factory a couple of times. The French workforce gets paid high wages but works only 3 hours a day. They told me that’s the French Way.”

You may never have heard of graphene, most people haven’t. You will soon though as this high-tech medium will shape virtually every part of our daily lives by the end of this decade. As you read this, researchers and scientists are working furiously for ways to transform this discovery into the Next Big Thing.

Here’s a collection of facts that could trigger you to vomit up your last meal. One to get you warmed up:

Meanwhile the taxpayers forced to care for them are taking home the smallest share of the income pie that has ever been recorded.
