More Pavilions At Folkfest 56 Comments

When the concept of “multiculturalism” was introduced to Canadians, most assumed it meant more pavilions at Folkfest;

The underside of multiculturalism is its ideological root in West-bashing. Sometime around 1960, it was determined by a few French intellectuals (whose unintelligible gibberish other intellectuals pretended to understand) that the greatest criminals against humanity in the history of the world weren’t the Nazi and Communist murderers of 100 million people. Rather, it was European colonialists, who imposed their cultural values on their captive audience.
Even though Canada was a colony itself, and had never indulged in imperialism of any kind, Canadians were informed they must share in the blame because of their religious, racial and cultural association with former colonialists.

I’ve asked this before – if all cultures are equally valuable, then who are these so-called “refugees” they keep sending us?

Larry, you give labour a bad name*…

Transcript, CTV-REGINA , Tuesday Apr.8 – SFL UNDER FIRE BY THE PROVINCIAL GOV’T FOR AD TAKING AIM AT THE GOV’T

MANFRED JOEHNCK (Anchor): The Saskatchewan Federation of Labour is under fire by the provincial government.
This is what has the Province all worked up. It is an ad which takes aim at the government and its essential services legislation. The Province believes the ad is intolerant and is frightening especially to women. It refers to the gun sights and the two women within the borders.
The government says the ad is beyond poor taste.
KEN KRAWETZ (Deputy Premier): What I’m saying is that at a time when there was discussion about tolerance, that there was discussion about behaviour of individuals a long time ago and today an ad was printed that some people feel is frightening.
LARRY HUBICH (President, Saskatchewan Federation of Labour): The ad is in response to the government taking aim at workers’ legislation. It was designed by two women actually. So there is no gender issues with it at all. And the Premier I think has some credit in the development of the ad because it was he who said that this government was going to go to war with labour.

I scarcely know where to begin. Though I did call NDP MLA Cam Broten’s office to demand he stand up and denounce this hateful left-wing extremist in the Leg.
Big h/t to John Gormley Live.

Sandmonkey – “We have come to see the day”

The Mhalla riots are going into their second strong day. 50,000 people are rioting. The police is shooting tear gas, rubber bullets, you name it, and IT’S NOT WORKING. The demonstrators were originally only like 2000-3000, but the government crackdown forced the people on the street. And until today, it’s a War Zone.

Cjunk, on our openly partisan news media – “I checked BBC and they do have a piece on this, but not a headliner. Our own CTV.ca and CBC have nothing as far as I can tell. But then, they’ve got far more important things to cover, what with knuckle-dragging homophobia sweeping conservative ranks in the house.”
That about sums it up.

“Of course, the real elephant drooling in the room of newspapers like the Seattle Times these days is “the forgotten reader.” These are the potential readers who, because of the unremitting liberal tone and slant of the Times in both the news hole and on the editorial page, loathe the Times and the whole sector of Seattle society it represents.
Now you may say, in a town as overwhelmingly liberal as Seattle, “Screw those troglodyte, Republican morons!” Well, you can say that but then you will, sooner or later, fire 200 of your employees.

Petraeus

A transcript of Gen. David Petraeus’ report to Congress;

Since September, levels of violence and civilian deaths have been reduced substantially, Al Qaeda-Iraq and a number of other extremist elements have been dealt serious blows, the capabilities of Iraqi security force elements have grown, and there has been noteworthy involvement of local Iraqis in local security.
Nonetheless, the situation in certain areas is still unsatisfactory and innumerable challenges remain. Moreover, as events in the past two weeks have reminded us and as I have repeatedly cautioned, the progress made since last spring is fragile and reversible.
Still, security in Iraq is better than it was when Ambassador Crocker and I reported to you last September, and it is significantly better than it was 15 months ago when Iraq was on the brink of civil war and the decision was made to deploy additional forces to Iraq.

That’s going to make some people unhappy. Oh well, there’s that looming recession to help lift their spirits.

Heh– Last night, I had suggested a Petraeus hearings drinking game. The only rule I could think of right away is that you had to down an entire bottle of whiskey immediately if Petraeus used the terms “sniper fire” while being questioned by Clinton.

Interview with Louise Arbour

Little Known Facts 52 Comments

Via Mostly Water, viewer reaction to a CBC interview of Louise Arbour includes this dissenting opinion;

Louise Arbour is a war criminal and it is time the Canadian people were made aware of the truth about this corrupt woman.
The CBC knows the truth about her but hides this truth from the Canadian people.
Arbour is responsible for covering up the murder of the President of Rwanda, the President of Burundi and many other persons who were assassinated on April 6th, 1994 by the Rwanda Patriotic Front with the assistance of the UN, the US, Canada and Belgium. As Chief Prosecutor for the Rwanda War Crimes Tribunal, she ordered an investigation into the shoot down of the presidential plane carrying those people. In 1997 she was informed by her chief of investigations, Michael Hourigan, an Australian lawyer and his team, including FBI agent Jim Lyons and Canadian police officers assigned to their unit that it was the RPF who had shot down the plane and massacred all those people. The murder of a head of state during war is a war crime. That massacre was the first massacre in Rwanda in 1994. Hourigan informed Arbour of this. But instead of indicting Paul Kagame and the RPF men who had murdered all those people she ordered Hourigan to come to The Hague where she told him to kill the investigation and to burn his notes. This makes her an accessory to mass murder and a war criminal. She did this on the instructions of the US government in violation of her oath to be independent as prosecutor. Once she proved her reliablity to the Americans, that is that she was corrupt and willing to cover up those responsible for mass murder, she was then used to lay false war crimes charges against Milosevic in order to prolong the war against Yugoslavia.
Since then she has remained silent about the human rights abuses committed by the Americans in Iraq, Afghanistan, and their use of torture and secret prisons around the world.
Louise Arbour is a criminal, corrupt, a shame to all Canadians. The sooner she is indicted and thrown in prison the better.
Wake up people. You are all being fooled.

Jadewarr Steps Out To The Corner Store

Great Moments In Socialism 16 Comments

Over the past few days, a thought has been gnawing at me.
Most critics of the human rights racket still allow that the commissions serve a legitimate purpose in protecting the rights of individuals to equal employment and lodging opportunities. But with each new revelation about the personalities and practices of Warman, Steacy and Co., I’ve started asking myself “What are the odds that the abuse and incompetence are unique to the section 13 thought police branch?”
My best guess was “zero”.

It didn’t make a sliver of difference to note that this opportunist had been using this known tactic for a number of years… extorting money from small mom and pop places (filing complaints on such enterprises, knowing well that most would give in and cough up some compensation).
So the Human Rights commission kept bumbling along… to the point of losing the “case” file, clearing the charge due to it being dormant for over 3 years, only to have it brought back to life “due to a clerical oversight”.
In addition to this indignity, we were harassed by a so-called investigator, who in the midst of her self importance, let out a slip of the lip… a RACIAL slur! Yes. A real bonafide racist remark made by a representative of the BC Human Rights Commission!

Weyburn Trail Derailment

Gopher News 32 Comments

While driving home from Minot this morning, there came news of a train derailment south of Weyburn, and that CP Rail had advised that a grass fire was complicating matters.
I took this from the detour route;

Sure, that’s a grass fire…
Ed Minchau, in the comments – “Holy freaking hell. Hans, that’s not just N2O4, it was also NO2. When those two combine with water you’ve basically got Red Fuming Nitric Acid. And N2O4 is one helluva strong oxidizer – Kate, I hope you didn’t get within a mile of that accident, either N2O4 or Red Fuming Nitric Acid are both toxic as hell. It’s the reason that the space shuttle has to sit on the ground for an hour and a half after landing before the astronauts can disembark, as the ground crew has to make sure that none of it is leaking or still present in the maneuvering system nozzles.
Yeah, about a mile. I think that was the evacuation radius they mentioned later in the afternoon, now that I think of it. It was the “grass fire” claim that made me laugh. Anyone within 20 miles knew that weren’t no grass fire.
