Why Is There Always A Big Screen TV?

APTN;

A man who was removed as chief of The Key First Nation following a six-month conditional sentence for drug trafficking is back in jail awaiting a bail hearing on new charges.
Clarence Papequash, 64, is now a band councillor. Prior to his political career, he worked as a drug councillor.
But in 2014 he was convicted in a sting in which RCMP were cracking down on dealers who fueled a wide-spread opiate problem in the Kamsack, SK area, as revealed by APTN Investigates
Papequash sold a morphine pill to an undercover officer.
Five months later his community voted him back onto council.

Wait, it gets better.

Health Canada has pulled the plug on a methadone doctor who APTN Investigates exposed last year.
Dr. Murray Davies ran the methadone program in Kamsack, Saskatchewan, located on the SK/MB border, 80 kilometres north of Yorkton. In April 2013, APTN Investigates’ episode Questionable Pharma featured Aboriginal patients who claimed they were over-prescribed opiates and once hooked, were shuttled into the same doctor’s methadone program.

Great investigative work by APTN. (Via John Gormley Live)

Reader Tips

Panzer Corps from Matrix/Slitherine is a remake of a classic SSI game, Panzer General, which itself was a remake of their original Panzer Grenadier. I’ve spent too many hours on both. I played a lot of Panzer Grenadier on the old Commodore 64 in the mid-80’s.

Well, if Lawrence Martin says it….

Oh. My. What are we CPC members thinking?
Related Nanos and the PDF. The sample sizes are small but in a nutshell: O’Leary is strong in the Prairies and Ontario, Chong beats Raitt in the Atlantic, Bernier is strong in Quebec and sits in second or third everywhere else. An interesting question in the survey asked the likely-hood of voting for or against a non-bilingual candidate. The determinate responses were split 33/33.

On “Fragility” And Malice

In the spirit of reciprocity, I’ll attempt an alternative, and perhaps more realistic, definition. “White fragility” is the unremarkable fact that people by and large don’t like being slandered as racists and then assigned with some pretentious collective guilt, the supposed atonement for which requires deference to actual racists and predatory hokum merchants.

Stick a soother in, she’ll stop crying.

This is such arrogant twaddle it makes me happy that I didn’t vote for her.

Falsehoods and slander are nothing new to public discourse, but two factors make today’s world different from what we have experienced before: the vast quantities of false information flowing from spurious news sources over the Internet, and the apparent impunity afforded to people in high office to proffer blatant lies that in an earlier time would have been fatal to their legitimacy.

No mention of Romney’s tax returns. No anger over the drug-addled factory worker whose job went to Mexico.
She yearns for a time when “scholarship” and “journalists” ruled the information flow and had no bias….no seriously, that’s what she wrote.
Campbell is still angry that, like her, Clinton was judged and found wanting.
