I’ve a very busy day (actually, days) ahead, so it’s reader tips for now.
Also, things will be slow here by necessity for a few days. I’ve been working on a large artwork order, and am struggling with a bad case of eye strain. Until it’s resolved, I’ll be taking it easy on the computer time to give my eyes what rest I can.
Please keep that in mind when commenting. Ignore trolls, and respect the rules. I don’t really don’t need the extra hassle right now.
Thanks.

Did Mark Holland mislead the House? And why did the LPC edit their website?
The Iranian Canadian Community Centre ;

a group categorized as an animal protection agency, according to documents — received a $200,000 grant on March 27, 2006, only three weeks after incorporating as a charity.
The group’s address is listed as the law office of David Farmani, a director of the charity who is also president of the Richmond Hill Liberal riding association with longstanding connections to the party. Another director is Gholam Reza Moridi, the riding’s Liberal candidate in the upcoming election.

I’m up to my ears in work these days – but the following should keep you occupied for a while.
Patrick S Lasswell;

Embedding with the Peshmerga is different than going with the other Coalition forces. For one thing, there is the absolute absence of paperwork. Michael showed me some of the bureaucracy he has to struggle with to go to Baghdad. On the other hand, we had to provide our own car and driver. Since we had an ace driver who was also our translator and friend, this was fine with us. Going in a low visibility sedan instead of a Hummer with a turret and “ATTACK ME” written all over it also has a certain appeal.

Michael Totten ;

From the safety of the Kurdish city of Suleimaniya – where the war is already over – Kirkuk looks like the mouth of Hell. It’s outside the safe fortress of the Kurdistan mountains and down in the hot and violent plains. The city doesn’t look much better up close, and you can feel the tension rise with the temperature in the car on the way down there.

Gun Town USA – 25 years murder free.
More news from the left’s favourite anti-Bush nation;

The Iranian Supreme Court has overturned the murder convictions of six members of a prestigious state militia who killed five people they considered “morally corrupt.”

There was much more to pick from. Thanks everyone for taking the time to send tips in. Time constraints keep me from replying to most emailed tips, but your effort is always appreciated.

Back to work;

Evidence of the economic impact of the labor dispute emerged when Statistics Canada said a 15-day strike in February helped shrink the value of manufacturing shipments by 0.2 percent in February from January.
New Democratic Member of Parliament Charlie Angus said the strike’s economic impact was not enough grounds to override the collective bargaining process. “That’s what strikes are. They have economic impact,” the Ontario lawmaker said.

Ottawa Citizen– “It’s time to ask what secret agendas exist on the left. Green party leader Elizabeth May is no doubt repulsed by Mr. Potvin’s views on 9/11, but how many others in her party are sympathetic to Mr. Potvin’s crazed anti-Americanism?”

I’ll be on the road for the next few days. Unless our usual guest bloggers get itchy fingers, posting is likely to be slow. I’ve placed a few posts in queue to appear automatically, so when you read them remember they were written before I left.

The Torch;

Last week LGen Leslie said a decision was going to be made within a week. This week, I’m hearing it might take up to another two weeks to make a formal announcement. That’s a whole steaming pile of “hurry up and wait” when we can’t really afford to.
Let’s also not lose sight of the fact that the CF is acquiring these tanks for more than just their air-conditioning. The “M” in the 2A6M designation stands for “Mine” – as in up-armouring to protect from mines and their close cousins, IED’s. These tanks will give the troops more protection. With a 120mm gun instead of the 105mm on the Leo 1’s, the new tanks will also give the troops a bit more of a punch. In fact, the Leopard 2A6M’s will offer a whole host of improvements over the current equipment, not just a cooler working environment.
