There can’t be enough laws against hate! So, let’s start with CHRC legal counsel Ian Fine.

Your Monday tips thread.

A little late for today – sorry! I was off to an early start this morning and just got home. (You’re better off enjoying the weekend away from the computer, anyway.)

“The persecution of a national news magazine and political websites by the CHRT, the libel suits against bloggers – that’s fine with the Liberals. They are firmly behind that – but to prevent a Liberal from using the auspices of parliament to question a man who is sueing him in a civil court – that’s one step too far.”
Who’s kidding whom? If he appeals this to the Canadian Human Rights Commission, there’s a better than even chance he’ll end up with high speed.
Yes, Canada does.
No more apologies. The Post is calling Warman’s bluff.
Yours in the comments.

I’m home, and going to bed. Normal posting should resume sometime tomorrow.

Open.

Drop your tips here so we can all enjoy.
Apologies for the delay in getting this up, busy day. Today was Delisle’s Garage Sale day and the pit is open for free dumping. Everyone is cleaning up their yards and generally visiting with their neighbours. I’ll probably think it was a good day once my oh-so-tender blisters turn into callouses and my back stops hurting.
Pittsburgh beat Philly, which isn’t how I think the rest of this series is going to go. Detroit walked all over a tired Dallas, which is how I think the rest of this series is going to go.
An hour until the puck drops on Dallas again. Hmm, is it too early for a beer?

For the technological inclined,
I’m currently rebuilding a Radius server to authenticate a Cisco PIX VPN tunnel over OpenLDAP.
OpenOffice 3.0 Beta is available for testing.

Play nice, don’t soil the bed and stop worrying, hockey resumes in two more days.

What to do with a Sudanese rapist?

Saskatchewan Liberals¹ moving right? That might be interesting. Split vote, anyone?

Vote Liberal, because a carbon tax on $1.32 gas is win-win! Isn’t something like half the cost at the pump due to tax already? I’m expecting the next brilliant display of Liberal politics to be Dion charging a carbon-tax at their BBQ circuit this summer…probably during the Stampede.

¹ No, honestly, we’re not with those federal pseudo-Liberals, please believe us, we hate those Liberals too!

Cheers,

Until someone left the lights on in the plane.
I kid you not. We arrived at our gate in Saskatoon to learn that the battery on the plane was dead as a result, and that departure would be delayed just over an hour… so long as they could find the mechanic to supervise the recharge, who, though he works in Calgary, lives in Saskatoon.
Said mechanic pronounced the batteries toast, and thus began alternate flight arrangements that resulted in Focus missing his connection in Calgary. As it is me accompanying the dog, and not the other way round, it was a case of “no doggie, no flyee.”
So, Air Canada, bless their hearts, put us up in a hotel and we’re relaxing in Vancouver until morning. For all the criticism they get, in this case I have no complaints with the airline. Big thanks are due agent “Jaydee” for getting it all rebooked, and to the baggage people who hunted down my delayed dog, and missing bag.

It’s been a busy week around here, my apologies for the slow blogging. I spent all day bent over a motorcycle tank and still have a few hours ahead packing and tying up loose ends before I leave for Beijing. No Free Tibet! t-shirt for me. “Free Tibetan Terrier”, maybe. I’m delivering a dog to his new home, conducting an informal seminar, and taking in a show while I’m there.
You’ll be in the capable hands of our usual guest bloggers until I’m back (around the 15th), but I’d be much appreciative if our regular readers would remember not to respond to trolls or drive by provocateurs. There’s a good chance they’ll be deleted, anyway.
A few links that were passed along:
An exercise in stupidity.

Futility has company.
Your tips are welcome in the comments, of course. I’ll see you on the flip side.
