Pity. And when’s the last time you heard our prime minister support an extension of privately provided and insured health care?
Every time I think of this young parliamentarian I feel a twinge of sadness for the substitute teaching community and “what might have been”.
TRUDEAU: Shelly, you went to an election campaign…
GLOVER: Can I finish? Would you mind if I finished, because I certainly didn’t interrupt you Justin Trudeau.
TRUDEAU: Shelly, you’re totally…
GLOVER: I would like to finish if that’s okay.
GLOVER: You need a leader. And your leader didn’t even hang around after a failed motion that divided your party.
TRUDEAU: You’re ridiculous.

The George Soros left, at play;
By day, Marc Garlasco was [Human Rights Watch’s] only military expert, the person that its Emergencies Division would send to conflict zones to investigate alleged war crimes. He wrote reports condemning the dropping of cluster bombs in the Russia-Georgia war, the alleged illegal use of white phosphorus by the Israeli army in Gaza and coalition tactics that he said “unnecessarily” put Iraqi or Afghan civilians at risk. An enthusiastic source of quotes for the media, he was incessantly on the phone to journalists.
But by night, Garlasco was “Flak88”, an obsessive contributor to internet forums on Third Reich memorabilia and an avid collector of badges and medals emblazoned with swastikas and eagles.
Canadian “human rights” and the absolute power to destroy;
The BCHRT has ignored the Supreme Court of Canada, ignored reason and, now, ignored our plea to allow me to “testify” by telephone. Three years of my life have been jumping through HRC hoops and hiding in the shadows that accompanies a man found guilty until proven innocent. The HRC has crushed my spirit to perform and offer no faith in the current state of affairs in our country. This self-appointed, quisi-legal board of powertrippin’ losers need to be dissolved. Despite the majority of Canadians crying “bloody murder” over the continuing inhuman wrongs perpetrated by the oxymoronic Human Right’s Tribunal, the humorless, little people of the HRT go happily on, trying to destroy unqualified hapless dudes, such as myself.
Comedian Guy Earle is due to appear before the BCHRT in Vancouver today. I don’t know why he bothers when he could simply await the guilty verdict at home. The National Post has more on the incident. Bulletproofcourier will be live blogging the hearing.
Proud homophobes and heterophobes alike can help Guy out by clicking on and donating via his paypal button on his website. I sent him a few dollars yesterday.

I feel the same way about hippies and wolves…
Mike Hamilton of Herons Forever has photographed the birds in the Black River Riparian Forest for eight years, and seen numerous eagle attacks.
“Intellectually I know it may be just part of nature,” he said. “But there’s an attachment you feel to the herons, watching their lives, taking pictures of their chicks. And when you see one carried off, you can’t help but have feelings of dismay, even disgust. If I could, I would fly up there and chase the eagle away.”

These are surreal times for America: a nation under siege by a violent, hate-filled, politically inconsequential mob of dozens that nobody has ever heard of.

OMG is this cute or what? Is there anything more heartwarming than a child’s first private Urban Heat Island Effect experience? They’ll remember this night for the rest of their lives, Jay. You’re a great dad.

Traffic at the CTF website has gone through the roof – wonder why?
Convicted criminals like serial child killer Clifford Olson, who are over the age of 65 and reside in federal and provincial jails, are currently eligible to collect Old Age Security (OAS) and Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) payments from Canadian taxpayers.
These programs are intended to help seniors make ends meet, not to fill the bank accounts of incarcerated convicts.
Go help out them out here, if you’re so inclined. They hope to deliver the petition in a couple of weeks. My guess is they’ll need a truck.

And while we’re on the topic, there’s a $10,000 [now 20K – ed.] reward out there still waiting to be claimed!
It’s time for the allegedly pristine character of Rep. John Lewis to put up or shut up. Therefore, I am offering $10,000 of my own money to provide hard evidence that the N- word was hurled at him not 15 times, as his colleague reported, but just once. Surely one of those two cameras wielded by members of his entourage will prove his point.
And surely if those cameras did not capture such abhorrence, then someone from the mainstream media — those who printed and broadcast his assertions without any reasonable questioning or investigation — must themselves surely have it on camera. Of course we already know they don’t. If they did, you’d have seen it by now.
THOUSANDS OF TIMES.
