As the Supreme Court of Canada seems intent on ruling over us, let's just elect the bastards and be done with it. #SCC #cdnpoli

“Perhaps World War One isn’t over”
Austin Bay makes the case.
We Need A Famine
And we need to pledge to one another that, when it finally comes, we will eat the “environmentalists” first.
In February 2014, Fortune Minerals was given Ministerial Approval by Saskatchewan’s Minister of Environment, to build a minerals processing plant near Langham, SK. However, since that time, environmental groups have been posing unregulated questions – sometimes hurling inaccurate claims at the project ranging from misguided to deceptive – which may lead to the project not proceeding.
The RM of Corman Park will soon be requested to grant rezoning approval to Fortune Minerals for the plant to be built – by a vote of the councillors – and should the environmentalists have their way, this will not happen. And given the councillors answer to their constituents and the constituents have been fed a barrage of misinformation by those same environmentalists, the vote may not support Fortune Minerals.
The council vote could – in effect – overrule the Provincial permitting process.
After roasting them over the dried husks of weak-kneed politicians who have forgotten that functioning democracies do not subvert themselves to the demands of the unelected fringe.
Asthma Inhalers are next.
The Allison Redford, nanny-land of Alberta strikes again. Red Deer bans e-cigs in public places.
They’re calling it smoking and I imagine this will be challenged at some point, as it isn’t smoking. The basis for banning smoking from public places was always sold as a safety move, second-hand smoke is a danger. Vaping doesn’t hold that danger. No one even knows if it’s dangerous for the primary user.
So, Red Deer is banning something they know nothing about except that it’s a nicotine delivery system, that hurts no one. Banning it on the basis that when I exhale, it looks like smoke…for about two seconds.
I still haven’t smoked since I started vaping in February, and I’m down to an 8mg nicotine blend from 24mg when I started.
Your Moral And Intellectual Superiors
The myth of the crusading investigative reporter is not only dead, it’s decomposed. In the disintegration of the Obama administration, the end of the mainstream media is not collateral damage, it is the core damage.
That is already evident in the response to the IRS scandal. It is metastasizing rapidly despite the near blackout by the MSM. In one recent poll 63 percent of Democrats think the IRS intentionally destroyed the emails. Democrats. How’d they find that out? Not from the New York Times.

New solar model predicts imminent global cooling;
As we head to the UNFCCC meeting in Paris 2015 where global bureaucracy beckons, a sharp cooling change appears to be developing and set to hit in the next five years. Yet consortia of five-star politicans are not preparing for climate change, only for global warming. Around the world a billion dollars a day is invested in renewable energy, largely with the hope of changing the weather.
Operation Empty Chair

The jets “should arrive in Iraq in two or three days,” Al-Maliki said.

In the wake of the cellphone privacy ruling, two more unanimous decisions from the US Supreme Court. The first;
The Supreme Court dropped a huge bomb on the Obama administration, unanimously rebuking the President for arrogating to himself the determination of when Congress is in session for the purpose of making recess appointments.
On Thursday the Supreme Court unanimously struck down a 35-foot protest-free “buffer” zone outside abortion clinics in Massachusetts. The justices ruled that the zone violates the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Hobby Lobby decision to be announced on Monday.
The Sound Of Settled Science
His case is one of dozens around the U.S. to come under scrutiny because of entrenched but now-discredited beliefs about how arson can be detected. The Arson Research Project at the Monterey College of Law in California has highlighted at least 31 convictions based at least partly on debunked fire investigations, including that of a Texas man executed in 2004, and experts believe there are many more.
“There was just no science behind” the old assumptions about arson, said Paul Cates of The Innocence Project, a group that works to overturn wrongful convictions, primarily through the use of DNA. “A lot of this was just guesswork and voodoo.”

Values of the Underclass
Theodore Dalrymple:
I remember a population that was terrified of falling into dependence on the state, because such dependence, apart from being unpleasant in itself, signified personal failure and humiliation. But there has been an astonishing gestalt switch in my lifetime. Independence has now come to mean independence of the people to whom one is related and dependence on the state. Mothers would say to me that they were pleased to be independent, by which they meant independent of the fathers of their children — usually more than one — who in general were violent swine. Of course, the mothers knew them to be violent swine before they had children by them, but the question of whether a man would be a suitable father is no longer a question because there are no fathers: The state would provide.
