A man doesn’t need to have his penis removed to legally become a woman, according to new order from the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal.
In a 95-page decision issued April 11, Sheri Price, a vice-chair with the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal, gave the Ontario government 180 days to “revise the criteria for changing sex designation on a birth registration.” Unless provincial authorities mount an appeal, Ontario will become the first Canadian jurisdiction to toss out genital surgery as a pre-requisite for a legal sex change.
This makes perfect sense, actually. Removing the penis doesn’t turn a man into a woman any more than a ruling from a panel of bat shit crazy bureaucrats does.

Rigzone, April 17th – President Barack Obama on Tuesday called for increasing penalties on oil speculators and boosting oversight of U.S. energy as part of a plan to crackdown on an “irresponsible few” who rig oil markets.
Rigzone, April 17th – President-elect Vladimir Putin outlines a highly favorable tax regime for offshore drilling in the Arctic in an attempt to attract foreign companies. The proposals from the Russian government includes abolishing export duty on petroleum products extracted from new offshore fields on the Arctic shelf…

I’ll Miss The Prairie Shelterbelts
I remember planting the shelterbelts back when I was kid, dropping the little seedlings into the hole of the tree planter as it was pulled along by the Cub tractor. They arrived in large bundles from the tree nursery at Indian Head. We planted a couple miles of them.
Ritz further elaborated on his agriculture department cuts in a letter in Tuesday’s Leader-Post in which he said “farmers run their businesses with a sharp pencil and expect their government to do the same.” It is for that reason that the Prairie Shelterbelt Program – formerly known as the Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Administration (the PFRA, that has provided Saskatchewan farmers with badly needed trees for decades now) – “has met its goal of creating shelter belts across the Prairies,” Ritz declared.
Huh? Met its goals? What goals? Who did Ritz talk to when he came to this startling conclusion? Was it today’s farmers, who are now rightfully annoyed that a sound and relatively cost-efficient farm support program has just been sacrificed in the name of past Conservative government budget deficits?
Or perhaps Ritz has been talking to that plethora of scientists and climatologists convinced global warming is a myth. Or maybe he’s simply assessed historic drought, wind erosion and unpredictable snow cover and moisture levels and concluded that Saskatchewan has been converted to a tropical oasis.
I also remember the piles of trees after they were bulldozed.

Is There Nothing That Obama Can’t Do?
Stephen Harper looks smarter with every passing day:
Britain is standing shoulder to shoulder with the United States on the battlefields of Afghanistan and in the wider war against Islamist terrorism, and on countless fronts is an indispensable ally to Washington. Yet the current US president can’t even bring himself to support the right of 3,000 overwhelmingly British Falkland Islanders to continue to live under the protection of the Union Jack, 30 years after their liberation from Argentine occupation. A stance of “neutrality” is an act of cowardice by Barack Obama in the face of Latin American pressure, and another slap in the face for Britain.
Also known as the “Maldives”.

Sex Selection: The Confused World of Leftism on Display
Kelly McParland sheds light on a disturbing trend of B.C. South Asian (aka East Indian) families using a U.S. fertility clinic to determine the sex of their unborn babies and then often opting to abort if said babies are girls.
One might think that a hardcore feminist would object to such a practice? Perhaps if this were happening amongst White Christian families but the trump card of Multiculturalism has a magical effect of creating a deafening silence amongst Leftist vocal chords. One can only wonder why a taxpayer funded, peer-reviewed study hasn’t been launched to investigate.
