When did Al arrive in the Battlefords?
Cloudy. 60 percent chance of rain showers or flurries changing to 60 percent chance of flurries in the evening. Wind northeast 30 km/h. Low zero.
Larry Hubich, President of the Saskatchewan Federation of Labour, rants about Newstalk 650’s, John Gormley. JG started the week talking about the Teamster Union’s unfair labour practices and flagrant breach of Privacy Law.
Here’s a thought, Larry, a Bill to force a province wide decertification of the Teamsters. I’m sure CLAC would be prepared to pick up the pieces of that unions ruined reputation and they won’t break the law.
Failing that, maybe the gov’t will enforce Section 15 of the Trade Union Act.
At the very least, it would be a change of pace to penalize someone other than business owners.
Cheers,

In the economic expansion of the late 20th century, citizens of Western democracies paid more in taxes but lived better than their parents and grandparents. They weren’t exactly rich, but they got richer. They also got more stupid.
By sheer coincidence – Spain loses AAA rating.

Canadian Jewish Congress v. Henry Makow, via Jay Currie;
[9] For these reasons I hereby adjourn these proceedings sine die pending the final outcome in the Warman v. Lemire case.
When Capt. Kuchta realized what she had done, he reprimanded her, she says.
“I didn’t give you authority to do that,” he said, according to Ms. Fleytas, who says she responded: “I’m sorry.”
The more that industry is regulated by government, the more they begin to resemble it;
The vessel’s written safety procedures appear to have made it difficult to respond swiftly to a disaster that escalated at the speed of the events on April 20. For example, the guidelines require that a rig worker attempting to contain a gas emergency had to call two senior rig officials before deciding what to do. One of them was in the shower during the critical minutes, according to several crew members.

I’m up to my ears in travel and work until Monday – posting will be slow as a result. Get over to the blogroll and expand your blogging horizons. (Or get off the computer and expand your horizons – even better!)

9/11 Truth Now. David Thompson’s idea of Hell.
Now is the time at SDA when we juxtapose!
New York Times, May 27th – “Those who think we were either slow on the response or lacked urgency, don’t know the facts,” Mr. Obama said. “This has been our highest priority.”
New York Times, May 27th – “[T]he head of the agency that oversees offshore oil drilling, S. Elizabeth Birnbaum, resigned under pressure on Thursday after only 10 months in the job.”
Update: “a dumb and unnecessary lie….
I know what you’re thinking. A city zoo that keeps guinea pigs?
Don’t think of it as internet stalking. Think of it as dropping a note to your next door neighbor.
(Update: Heh. Make that “can’t”.)
According to this report, BP’s top kill may be working;
Engineers have succeeded in stopping the flow of oil and gas into the Gulf of Mexico from a gushing BP well, the federal government’s top oil spill commander, Adm. Thad Allen, said Thursday morning.
The so-called “top kill” effort, launched Wednesday afternoon by industry and government engineers in Houston, has pumped enough drilling fluid to block all oil and gas from the well, Allen said. The pressure from the well is very low, but persistent, he said.
Looks like Obama’s frenzied efforts worked after all. Now for step two: kill off the rest of the industry.

Good news for buttercup goslings!
It’s a rain-record for Saskatoon.
From April 1st to May 25th, the city had recieved over 160 millimetres of rain. That breaks the record of 154 millimetres from 1977, the highest amount since officials started keeping track back in the 1800’s.
But Environment Canada Senior Climatologist David Phillips tells News Talk Radio that the rain isn’t over yet….
Now, if only the frost warnings would lift.
Allah knows best.

Reports that Bob Woodward* is still alive are greatly exaggerated.
