The Government of Ontario’s newly created Ontario College of Trades is planning to hit hardworking tradespeople with membership fees that, if the College has its way, will add up to $84 million a year.
Nobody has to be a live in Ontario.

So, he must be doing something right – Creepy Marxists, cretinous cultists, Jew-haters and other assorted fanatics harangue Immigration Minister Kenney
Reader Tips
Tonight we jump back in time to 1966 to enjoy this 2-hour pilot for the revival of the Dragnet TV series. Unlike the earlier run in the 1950’s, this version was in colour. As circumstances have it, this was never seen on TV until early 1969.
Your leading edge or historical reader tips are most welcome, as always, in the comments.
Who is John Galt?
You tell them over and over again that costs get passed on or the employees get cut back, but no, The wing-nuts just don’t believe you.
Last week we found out that, beginning in January, any employee who is not full-time at that point, will be limited to 28 hours per week and all new hires will be subject to the same policy.
I swear, if a conservative said the sky was blue the liberals would search for proof that it was red.
CINCPACFLT fires the torpedoes
Adm. James A. Lyons (Ret.), former Commander in Chief, Pacific Fleet, pulls no punches.
There is an urgent need for full disclosure of what has become the “Benghazi Betrayal and Cover-up.” The Obama national security team, including CIA, DNI and the Pentagon, apparently watched and listened to the assault on the U.S. consulate and cries for help but did nothing. If someone had described a fictional situation with a similar scenario and described our leadership ignoring the pleas for help, I would have said it was not realistic—not in my America – but I would have been proven wrong.

Anyone who has watched US election coverage analysis with Michael Barone will know that he’s someone to take seriously. Let us hope so.

Conservatives defy UN gun controls
Opponents argue the United Nations protocol signed by a previous Liberal government would drive up the cost of guns by as much as $200 apiece, killing jobs and creating more red tape in an already overregulated industry.
Proponents argue ignoring the framework is a step backwards to trace traffickers of guns to civil wars and Third World conflicts – some of which end up in the hands of local criminals.
The protocol – on hold until December 2013 – would require all imported guns to be marked with the name of the country and year of import. It’s at least the fourth time the government has punted the regulation since taking office in 2006.
Or, we could just punt the UN and be done with it.
Every Village Needs an Idiot
The Democrat Party in America clearly has more than its fair share of idiots.
Update: The amount of raw material in the DNC Idiot File is endless. Wouldn’t it be nice if one could just dance their way out of oodles of debt & entitlements?!
Obama’s Foreign Policy – As Viewed by the BBC
In light of the ongoing Benghazi Scandal, this BBC Radio documentary, first broadcast only recently, provides an “interesting” examination of Barack Obama’s “Lead from Behind” foreign policy. You can read the podcast summary here.
One of the most laughable moments is when one of his sycophants praises Obama for “seeing the world as it is“. Uh huh.
Bonus Podcast: You can learn about Romney’s “radical agenda” to … wait for it … balance the budget – that commentary from the “Math Is Hard” crowd of the mainstream media.

Y2Kyoto: Who needs to sleep?
Apparently sleep researchers haven’t been getting enough of that cool green Gov’t money. They came out against human habitation near windmill farms.
I’m sure we’ll quickly be brought up to speed though on why this study is flawed.

Entire books have been written as to why this disastrous paradigm shift happened in Western culture, so I won’t expend a lot of verbiage exploring the reasons for this change in cultural attitudes. All we need to know is that it happened, and these two sculptures are proof.

At this point, NAACP members were instructed to turn their clothing inside out, which they refused to do and said they weren’t going to stop their actions inside the polling place.
Oh, sorry, did I say Argentina? I meant Houston, TX. Apparently there is a need for UN observers in Texas.
