Updated – Upon checking my own archives, I discovered this comment by Mr. Potts …

I guess it remains to be seen who is going to kill more Canadians…IDF or the Taliban.

I’ve said it before – scratch a leftie and you’ll find an anti-Semite.

“Stop Making Excuses”

What He Said 45 Comments

“It wasn’t long before Ron Evans (Grand Chief of the Assembly of Manitoba First Nations)…

… … reverted to form. Aboriginal kids need to connect with their culture. Blah blah. Poverty is the root cause of crime. Blah blah. Tougher anti-gun, anti-gang, anti-crime laws aren’t needed.
“How is a tough crime bill going to help people to change?” said Evans. “Many of our people are caught in the cycle. They’re stuck.”
And to prove how stuck he is in his own go-nowhere cycle…

Pay No Attention To Those Multi-Culti Consequences Behind The Curtain

Great Moments In Socialism 13 Comments

A funny thing happens when left-wing social engineers begin to mess with other peoples’ neighborhoods;

The Swiss People’s Party, or SVP, which campaigned on an aggressively anti-immigrant ticket featuring posters that showed white sheep kicking a black sheep off the Swiss flag, received about 29 percent of the vote and 61 of the 200 seats in Parliament, projections showed, up from 27 percent and 55 seats in 2003. It was comfortably ahead of the Social Democratic Party, which dropped from 23 percent of the vote to 19 percent and was projected with 43 seats, as opposed to 52 in the most recent Parliament.

There’s a reason they say that “all politics is local”.

Opponents protested with riots and criticized the conservative party for instilling racist policies, but the electorate was apparently more impressed by federal statistics that showed “about 70 percent of the prison population is non-Swiss.”

I Saw The Sign

Uncategorized 52 Comments

The Saskatchewan election has turned ugly in Meewasin:

We are spending hours and hours replacing signs that are being knocked down or destroyed … it’s an epidemic. Even lawn signs … on private property are being destroying, prompting some people to request they be permenantly removed out of fear … and many SaskParty supporters tell us they won’t put up signs because of past damage to property … like fences.

My best laid plans to do some blogging here from the motel have met with a laptop that is now barely functional. I guess I should ‘t complain. I don’t know when it was built (It’s a Toshiba Libretto 70CT mini with keys the size of aspirin tablets), but it runs Win95.. very, very slowly.
But I did get to Mt. Rushmore today. Holy cow – has that place ever changed since I ws there as a kid. .

It looks like you’re in good hands, though. I’ll be back sometime Monday.

Given the anaemic run defence the Stumps showed against the Bombers tonight the result was an early call.

Calvert NDP Breaks Election Law

Uncategorized 29 Comments

A transparent and open government:

The Calvert NDP has violated The Elections Act by refusing to disclose the sources of over $2.5 million in party donations since Lorne Calvert took office.

Saskatchewan Party candidate Nancy Heppner today demanded that Lorne Calvert immediately disclose his $2.5 million hidden donation list.

Talk to the hand….

The Premier’s handlers have referred calls to provincial secretary and campaign manager Doug Still. He has not yet returned those calls.

Cheers,

Modest progress

Further to Lance’s post below, I’ve gone through some of the highlights of the recent Environics poll of Afghan public opinion, pointing out some of the problem areas as well as the overwhelmingly good news, and providing a link to a similar but more comprehensive poll conducted just over a year ago.
Conclusion: the international community is making slow but steady progress winning hearts and minds in Afghanistan. Read the source data yourself if you need convincing.

Tips for Friday.
I’m at a show (my last for the year) this weekend, so posting will be relatively slow on my part. “The Greek” should be by to comment if anything interesting bubbles up in the provincial election campaign, though.
