Polar bears are eating their own! Emails? What emails? Nothing to see here...did we tell you how the earth has a fever? The ocean's are going to rise by 20 feet! It gets more unbelievable everyday. The good thing is that just before Copenhagen, the truth has come out.
Oh, it might only be all over the internet, but the lame media can not stop it now. The silent majority has been rudely awoken, and just like a bear woken up before spring, they are angry.
SYDNEY — A leading climate-change sceptic seized control of Australia's opposition on Tuesday, vowing to kill carbon trading legislation ahead of key UN talks.
Right-wing maverick Tony Abbott ousted Liberal Party leader Malcolm Turnbull by just one vote, 42-41, in a result that should doom marathon attempts to pass emissions laws.
A second defeat of the government bill -- aiming to cut carbon pollution by between five and 25 percent of 2000 levels by 2020 -- would give the government powers to call a snap election.
"We will oppose the legislation in the Senate -- that is the right thing to do," Abbott told reporters, adding that he was "not frightened of an election on this issue".
Turnbull had sparked a party revolt by supporting the government's carbon legislation, and warned that the centre-right Liberals faced electoral disaster if an early election were called.
"In this document we work through an example weather station—Hokitika—to illustrate our approach and methods. We also address NIWA’s response, currently on their website, that the Wellington adjustments are justified by altitude differences between stations where no time series overlap is available (Thorndon, Kelburn and Airport).
Hulme Key Excerpt: [Upcoming UN climate conference in Copenhagen] “is about raw politics, not about the politics of science. [...] It is possible that climate science has become too partisan, too centralized. The tribalism that some of the leaked emails display is something more usually associated with social organization within primitive cultures; it is not attractive when we find it at work inside science. It is also possible that the institutional innovation that has been the I.P.C.C. has run its course. Yes, there will be an AR5 but for what purpose? The I.P.C.C. itself, through its structural tendency to politicize climate change science, has perhaps helped to foster a more authoritarian and exclusive form of knowledge production - just at a time when a globalizing and wired cosmopolitan culture is demanding of science something much more open and inclusive.
The White House on Monday made exceptionally clear that it wants nothing to do with the furor over documents that global warming skeptics say prove the phenomenon is not a threat.
Despite the incident, which rocked international headlines last week, climate science is sound, Press Secretary Robert Gibbs stressed this afternoon, and the White House nonetheless believes "climate change is happening."
"I don't think that's anything that is, quite frankly, among most people, in dispute anymore," he said during Monday's press briefing.
Canada's image lies in tatters. It is now to climate what Japan is to whaling
The tar barons have held the nation to ransom. This thuggish petro-state is today the only obstacle to a deal in Copenhagen
When you think of Canada, which qualities come to mind? The world's peacekeeper, the friendly nation, a liberal counterweight to the harsher pieties of its southern neighbour, decent, civilised, fair, well-governed? Think again. This country's government is now behaving with all the sophistication of a chimpanzee's tea party.
So amazingly destructive has Canada become, and so insistent have my Canadian friends been that I weigh into this fight, that I've broken my self-imposed ban on flying and come to Toronto.
So here I am, watching the astonishing spectacle of a beautiful, cultured nation turning itself into a corrupt petro-state. Canada is slipping down the development ladder, retreating from a complex, diverse economy towards dependence on a single primary resource, which happens to be the dirtiest commodity known to man. The price of this transition is the brutalisation of the country, and a government campaign against multilateralism as savage as any waged by George Bush.
Typical lefty, dumb as a brick, and can't get his facts straight. What's he doing in Toronto? The oil sands are in Alberta, come on and visit us, but it better be by dog sled or on cross country skis, not by air. We should see him around 2012, just in time for the world to end. HA.
Talk about over playing your hand! We now all see that all they had was a pair of threes, and some fake aces up their sleeves.
I answered a phone survey today, from Harris/Decima. It started off about food outlets and organic produce, then asked about genetically engineered food, went from there to global warming and what Canada should do, support a binding agreement or not. One question was asked about who you would vote for, and then they got back to Copenhagen and whether you agreed with environmentalists. It was about 10 minutes long, and the interviewer chuckled a few times at my answers (she must have been a Conservative) and she thanked me for a very interesting interview. HA
So someone is doing some polling about Copenhagen before it starts. Not sure how the food outlets got in there but I suspect they are doing one call for more than one client.
That brings me to climategate. Ignore all you want Lame Stream Media, but the truth is now out there, and it has blown up in the faces of all econuts. Funny, they have gone from global cooling, to global warming, to climate change, to CO2 pollution. That's the new buzz word, CO2 pollution. I suspect that when the public doesn't buy CO2 as a pollutant, the greenies will just change it to ...pollution, and we will have come full circle. Problem is, no-one is going to believe anything environmentalists say from now on, they are done. They are now junk scientists, by their own hands.
The silent majority is listening and learning. The greens get maybe 8% of the vote here in Canada, yet the politicians in all countries are pushing this climate fraud on us, because it's all about money, not the environment. It's about power, and a new world government. Europe has moved one step closer to it, and if the power brokers can get a binding agreement in Copenhagen, that's another step towards more power for the UN. Think about who makes up the majority in the UN, it's not the wealthy Christian countries. Which poses the question, why are Democratic countries responsible for all the failed third world countries? Today, the Commonwealth nations agreed to a $10 BILLION a year slush fund for those nations at risk from global warming, what a scam! It reminds me of the First Nations in Canada who get $10 billion a year and somehow manage to remain poor. Or like our "have not" provinces, like Quebec, can somehow afford a $7 a day daycare, while "have" provinces send them billions.
The breaking point is coming, the silent majority is about to wake up. Middle class people who go to work everyday, and raise their children to be successful and responsible members of society are getting sick of the socialists stealing from us to enrich themselves. It's time to circle the wagons. No more Robin Hood.
Interesting week, the opposition support the terrorists, and disrespects our troops again. You would think they would have learned from the last time they tried it. Guess they aren't too smart. Oh well, it's Friday time for some fun. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ACTUAL PASSPORT APPLICATION LETTER
Dear Mrs. Ms. or Sir:
I'm in the process of renewing my passport and still cannot believe this. How is it that Radio Shack has my address and telephone number and knows that I bought a cable TV from them in 1987 (22 years ago), and yet, the Federal Government is still asking me where I was born and on what date. For Christ's sake, do you guys do this by hand? Ever heard of computers? My birth date you have in my social security file. It's on EVERY income tax form I've filed for the past 30 years. It's on my Medicare health insurance card and my driver's license. It's on the last eight damn passports I've had. It's on every stupid customs declaration form I've had to fill out before being allowed off the plane for the last 30 years. And it's on all those census forms that we have to do at election times. Would somebody please take note, once and for all, that my mother's name is Maryanne, my father's name is Robert and I'm reasonably confident that neither name is likely to change between now and when I die. Between you an' me, I've had enough of this bureaucratic bullshit! You send the application to my house, then you ask me for my f______address. What is going on? You must have a gang of bureaucratic Neanderthal morons working there! Look at my damn picture. Do I look like Bin Laden? And "No," I don't want to dig up Yasser Arafat, for shit sakes. I just want to go and park my ass on a sandy beach. And would someone please tell me, why would you give a damn whether I plan on visiting a farm in the next 15 days? If I ever got the urge to do something weird to a chicken or a goat, believe you me, I'd sure as hell not want to tell anyone! Well, I have to go now because I have to go to the other end of the city and get another f______copy of my birth certificate - to the tune of $100. Would it be so difficult to have all the services in the same area so I could get a new passport the same day? Nooooo, that would require planning and organization. And it would be too logical for the f_______ government. You'd rather have us running all over the place like chickens with our heads cut off. Then, we have to find some asshole to confirm that it's really me on the damn picture - you know, the one where we're not allowed to smile. Hey, you know why we can't smile? We're totally pissed off! Signed An Irate Citizen. P.S. Remember what I wrote about getting someone to confirm that the picture is me? Well, my family has been in the United States of America since 1776. I have served in the military for something over 35 years and have had security clearances up the yingyang. However, I have to get someone important to verify who I am - you know, someone like my doctor WHO WAS BORN AND RAISED IN INDIA! And you assholes want to run our health care system????? -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Old Sea Story ... There's an old sea story in the Navy about a ship's Captain who inspected His sailors, and afterward told the Chief Boatswain that his men smelled bad.
The Captain suggested perhaps it would help if The sailors would change underwear occasionally.
The Chief responded, "Aye, aye sir, I'll see to it immediately!" The Chief went straight to the sailors berth deck and announced, The Captain thinks you guys smell bad and wants you to change your underwear.
He continued, Pittman, you change with Jones, McCarthy, you change With Witkowski, and Brown, you change with Schultz. Now get to it!!!"
THE MORAL OF THE STORY IS: Someone may come along and promise "Change", But don't count on things smelling any better. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You have to love marriage, and the pressure the groom and bride are under.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: Fw: BANKING IN TORONTO, NEWFIE STYLE
A Newfie walked into a bank in Toronto and asked for the loans officer.. He told the loans officer that he was going to Newfoundland on business for two weeks and needed to borrow $5,000, however he was not a depositor of the bank. The bank officer told him that the bank would need some form of security for the loan, so the Newfie handed over the keys to a new Ferrari. The car was parked on the street in front of the bank. The Newfie produced the title and everything checked out. The loan officer agreed to hold the car as collateral for the loan and apologized for having to charge12% interest.
Later, the bank's president and its officers all enjoyed a good laugh at the Newfie for using a $250,000 Ferrari as collateral for a $5,000 loan. An employee of the bank then drove the Ferrari into the bank's underground garage and parked it.
Two weeks later, the Newfie returned, repaid the $5,000 and the interest of $23.07. The loan officer said, 'Sir, we are very happy to have had your business, and this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a little puzzled. While you were away, we checked you out and found that you are a multimillionaire. What puzzles us is, why would you bother to borrow $5,000?'
The Newfie replied: 'Where else in Toronto can I park my car for two weeks for only $23.07 and expect it to be there when I return?'
Ah, Newfies..... See! Salt Cod is good for the brain. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The kids filed into class Monday morning.. They were very excited.. Their weekend assignment had been to sell something, Then give a talk on productive salesmanship.
Little Sally led off: "I sold girl scout cookies and I made $30," she said proudly, "My sales approach was to appeal to the customer's civil spirit and I credit that approach for my obvious success." "Very good," said the teacher. Little Jenny was next: "I sold magazines," she said, "I made $45 and I explained to everyone that magazines would keep them up on current events.." "Very good, Jenny," said the teacher. Eventually, it was Little Johnny's turn. The teacher held her breath. Little Johnny walked to the front of the classroom and dumped a box full of cash on the teacher's desk. "$2,467," he said. "$2,467!" cried the teacher, "What in the world were you selling?" "Toothbrushes," saidLittle Johnny. "Toothbrushes," echoed the teacher, "How could you possibly sell enough tooth brushes to make that much money?" "I found the busiest corner in town," said Little Johnny, I set up a Dip & Chip stand, I gave everybody who walked by a sample. They all said the same thing, "Hey, this tastes like shit!" Then I would say, "It is shit. Wanna buy a toothbrush? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Traffic Camera
A man was driving when he saw the flash of a traffic camera. He figured that his picture had been taken for exceeding the limit, even though he knew that he was not speeding.... Just to be sure, he went around the block and passed the same spot, driving even more slowly, but again the camera flashed. Now he began to think that this was quite funny, so he drove even slower as he passed the area again, but the traffic camera again flashed. He tried a fourth time with the same result. He did this a fifth time and was now laughing when the camera flashed as he rolled past, this time at a snail's pace...
Two weeks later, he got five tickets in the mail for driving without a seat belt..

She doesn't know which one to get so she just grabs one and goes over to the counter. Bass Pro Shop associate is standing there wearing dark shades. She says, ''Excuse me, sir. Can you tell me anything about this rod and reel?'' He says, ''Ma'am, I'm completely blind; but if you'll drop it on the counter, I can tell you everything from the sound it makes.'' She doesn't believe him but drops it on the counter anyway. He says, ''That's a six-foot Shakespeare graphite rod with a Zebco 404 reel and 10-LB. test line. It's a good all around combination and it's on sale this week for only $20.00." She says, ''It's amazing that you can tell all that just by the sound of it dropping on the counter. I'll take it!'' As she opens her purse, her credit card drops on the floor. "Oh, that sounds like a Master Card,'' he says. She bends down to pick it up and accidentally farts. At first she is really embarrassed, but then realizes there is no way the blind clerk could tell it was she who tooted. Being blind, he wouldn't know that she was the only person around.
The man rings up the sale and says, ''That'll be $34.50 please.''
The woman is totally confused by this and asks, ''Didn't you tell me the rod and reel were on sale for $20.00? How did you get $34.50?''
He replies, ''Yes, Ma'am. The rod and reel is $20.00, but the Duck Call is $11.00 and the Bear Repellent is $3.50" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bubba had shingles. Those of us who spend much time in a doctor's office should appreciate this! Doesn't it seem more and more that physicians are running their practices like an assembly line? Here's what happened to Bubba:
Bubba walked into a doctor's office and the receptionist asked him what he had. Bubba said: 'Shingles.' So she wrote down his name, address, medical insurance number and told him to have a seat.
Fifteen minutes later a nurse's aide came out and asked Bubba what he had. Bubba said, 'Shingles.' So she wrote down his height, weight, a complete medical history and told Bubba to wait in the examining room.
A half hour later a nurse came in and asked Bubba what he had. Bubba said, 'Shingles..' So the nurse gave Bubba a blood test, a blood pressure test, an electrocardiogram, and told Bubba to take off all his clothes and wait for the doctor.
An hour later the doctor came in and found Bubba sitting patiently in the nude and asked Bubba what he had. Bubba said, 'Shingles.' The doctor asked, 'Where?' Bubba said, 'Outside on the truck. Where do you want me to unload 'em??' ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stupid time wasting game of the week. Turkey has Guts.
Funny, our country is multicultural, so why are some better than others? Why is law breaking not equally applied? When has it become a criminal act to carry a Canadian flag?
Well, it appears, it's worthy of arrest in Caledonia. The National Post has been doing an outstanding job of covering the news, like Climategate. Now they increase their readership with yet another great article.
HAMILTON -- Recent videos of two flag-waving marches along the main street in Caledonia, passing a site that has been occupied by native protesters since 2006, were shown in court on Thursday, starkly highlighting the different reactions of police to aboriginal marchers and Caledonia residents.
The videos make it appear as though the Canadian flag has been outlawed in the area by the Ontario Provincial Police.
The first video (the fourth video on this external website) shows Caledonia resident Randy Fleming walking down the side of Argyll Street South last Victoria Day -- May 24, 2009 -- with a Canadian flag tied to a stick slung over his left shoulder. He saunters on to the edge of the occupied site, at which point he is grabbed by a black-clad OPP officer, escorted a few metres off the site, and is then pounced on by several other officers.
An officer is seen taking the flag from Mr. Fleming, quickly rolling it up and handing it to another officer, who rushes away with it.
Whatever happened to one law for all? The OPP must cringe when they see those videos. I understand that they were operating under orders from above, but deep in their guts, they must have been sick about what they were doing. Standing by and letting one group of people who will NOT fly the Canadian flag, dictating by intimidation, to another group who had no one to turn to because the OPP sat silent.
I can not imagine the trauma suffered by that family. They were stuck because noone would buy their property, not even Dalton who bought up the developers land pretty quick. So, why is the Crown fighting this? How is this couple less worthy of compensation than the developer? Why were they hung out to dry?
Well, I'm in a disadvantaged group,(HA) supposedly, because I'm a female. So, I should be allowed to carry a concealed weapon, be it pepper spray or a gun. I demand that my rights of self protection be heard. If no law covers it, so be it. I will just declare myself a Ukinchuk and demand my rights to self governance, flying a flag my 5 year old just made up. After all I have been in Canada all my life. This of course means I should be able to disobey any Canadian laws I want, because I have been here much longer than anyone younger than me.
Because of the filthy language used by Liberal progressives, I have had to put my blog on comment moderation, again.
CAUTION! Profane language for one time only, to prove a point about lefties and their oh so progressive ideas about female Conservative bloggers. Question is, should I be calling the police on this? I sort of understand how Sarah Palin feels. Slimy people who are more interested in money and smear, than their own country, sad really.
I often get swarmed by trolls sent over here by a particularly obnoxious Liberal blogger. Sometimes the trolls behave, but I have had to put my blog on moderation numerous times because of disgusting language and attacks on mainly my female posters.
When I put comment moderation on, the trolls yell about "freedom of speech" and how I am denying them their rights. So, I thought my readers might like to see a small sample of why I have to put comment moderation on. It's a great glimpse into the lefties progressiveness or lack there of. Name calling and swearing is the order of the day. (Click on them to expand)
And here is a blast from the past:
These were all comments left on my blog that did not make it through the comment filter, until tonight. I only show them now because the trolls hate being put on comment moderation. Notice how liberal supporter mocks me for not being able to publish his comment? Well, hello, you wrote it on my blog, so, hey I can publish it, that's what you wanted wasn't it? Why else would you comment here?
So in answer to CC's comment, that I did publish:
First off, the only CC to post on my blog in that thread was you. So are you talking to yourself, or did you come here from some lefty blog that thinks swearing is normal and the owners initials are CC?
Secondly, if you trolls ever had anything interesting or constructive to say, maybe your comments would get posted.
I try to stay away from even acknowledging the trolls, but their whining about their comments being deleted from my blog, when they clearly abuse the rules, is just too much to ignore.
So comment moderation stays on for now. Just thought some of you might like to see a little behind the scenes action. Oh... and trolls, never ASSUME that just because your comment doesn't get posted that it has been deleted. It might be lurking somewhere, just waiting to see the light of day. Nice language lefties, it really makes you look oh so intelligent, progressive, and mature.
Colvin appears for his testimony with a lawyer to guide him. Our proud military Generals appear with facts and an unwavering conviction that they did everything right. Colvin might have gone outside the Kandahar gates once or twice, with FULL military support. The Generals were on the ground, with the troops on hundreds of occasions.
The opposition is worried about Taliban prisoners, how about they worry about what the Taliban did to their own people, especially women?
The Generals were worried about our troops on the ground. Those troops are risking their lives to protect Afghans from the Taliban.
In 2006 our troops were too busy trying to stay alive to care what happened to the people shooting to kill them. They still treated all prisoners with respect.
Our opposition parties look like they are in support of the Taliban with their little torture committee. It might play to the extreme lefties, but it makes most Canadians sick. The Taliban are despicable, and if you want to see torture, try googling taliban beheading. I am not recommending that anyone click on any of those links, I didn't, I don't have to actually see it to know it happens. Still, maybe someone should make our MP's watch some of those videos so they can get their heads straight, the Taliban are the enemy, not our troops.
The opposition have called the Generals liars and they responded back with facts. I would like to know which opposition MP called our Generals liars, because the Generals should sue them. So, who was it? Which MP called Hillier a liar outside of the protection of Parliament? Just because they are MP's should not give them the right to destroy a person's reputation for partisan reasons.
Preventing Ambassador Mulroney from testifying, is just playing political games. The opposition only want one side of the story presented. Do they understand that real lives are at stake in war? The lives of our troops are way more important than any "supposed" torture of the Taliban prisoners by Afghans. The Generals made that perfectly clear today.
Quit it, you are making yourselves look like idiots.
The MSM is in lockdown, they are waiting for instructions from Al Gore and Suzuki. So all is quiet on the Canadian front, except for bloggers, who are blasting the news that we have been lied to by the econuts. Most Conservative bloggers already knew that, why didn't the lefties?
Talk about deniers, we have taxpayer funded CBC that has yet to even mention the hacking. The left are the deniers, they refuse to acknowledge that the science is not settled. They deny scientists the opportunity to publish their papers showing that the planet is not warming. It's all in the emails that the MSM refuse to write any articles about, for fear of.....what? They are the enablers. They have shouted about drowning polar bears and rising ocean levels, without any statistically, scientifically supported evidence. Computer models are only as good as the data that is input, and from the emails, it sure sounds like the data was corrupted.
I want to make sure that the National Post gets recognized for being just about the only Canadian media to cover this story.
Many bloggers are covering this. Here are two to start with:
From Dion's wife slagging the Liberals, to global warming emails exposing global warming supporters for what they really are, frauds, the lefties are taking hit after hit.
Now Liberals are trying to out special interest group the Conservatives.
Good for him, but has the Toronto Liberal Star mentioned any of these Liberal 10 percenters that need to be apologized for? The Liberal 10 percenters are way more offensive than anything the Conservatives have done, but you won't hear that from the lame stream media.
So the latest is all about those prisoners being turned over to Afghanistan jails and maybe being tortured. (Didn't we do this like 2 years ago?) The lefties really think they are on to something here, but as per usual, they have no clue what the Timmies crowd is thinking. Most of us are thinking....who really cares?
Here is an interesting insight into the opposition. They are shouting about Colvin (a bureaucrat), and torture...not even alleged torture, but they refuse to listen to an Ambassador.
After hearing his "professionalism" questioned by former subordinate Richard Colvin last week, David Mulroney sent a letter to the House of Commons Special Committee on the Mission in Afghanistan offering to testify to "set the record straight." That's no light offer from Mulroney as his current job is Ambassador to China. Mulroney, in fact, was en route, my sources tell me, from Beijing to Ottawa late Monday night in expectation that he would get a chance to testify on Thursday.
Not so fast.
Opposition MPs tabled a notice of motion late tonight that will get voted on when the Committee meets Wednesday (a meeting at which they'll hear testimony from Gen. Rick Hillier and others). The motion is from NDP MP Paul Dewar but I'm told the Liberals were ready to table one that was mighty similar and, basically, it tells the government that Mulroney ain't testifying until the committee gets a pile of documents that they've been asking for for ages.
So, it's NOT about torture, it's all about political jockeying. The opposition MP's are showing their agenda, they only want to listen to people supporting lefties. They do not care about the truth, the truth is inconvenient, just like the fact that global warming is not occurring.
I find their behaviour despicable. It just makes the Timmies crowd mad, and more intent on electing a Conservative majority next election. These juvenile games must stop, and the only way to stop them is with a Conservative majority. Majority is not a bad word anymore, and if Quebec doesn't understand what side their bread is buttered on, too bad.
Liberalism, an idea gone bad. Send the lefties a message. They are the dinosaurs not the Conservatives.
If you believe Stephen Harper's bully boys putting the boots to Colvin this past week, the former top political attache in Afghanistan and now deputy intelligence chief in Washington has no credibility. Who's telling the truth? You be the judge.
In April 2006, Colvin began a 17-month posting in Afghanistan as political director and deputy ambassador, one of only two officials there with access to the Canadian government's hyper-secure "C4" communications network.
So, Colvin began a 17 month posting in April of 2006. The Conservatives won the election in January. The Liberals signed the original prisoner agreement, they are the ones responsible for the prisoner transfer rules. Is Colvin telling us the Liberals did nothing about the prisoners? Weston doesn't mention the Liberals and their Taliban prisoners. Funny that. Weston is a sad little supposed reporter, not of the news, but of Liberal issues that need propping up.
More likely, the Harper government was just trying to cover up the whole thing -- sacrificing Canadian lives to bring torture to Afghanistan isn't exactly the stuff to inspire public support. Indeed, Colvin claims various superiors in Ottawa tried to get him to drop the detainee issue, but he persisted.
You sad little Liberal toady.... Sacrificing Canadian lives? It was Chretien who sent our troops into battle in green fatigues. It was the Liberals who set up the transfer arrangement. It was Liberals who refused to fund our military so that they could only die for our country.
A month after he arrived, Colvin issued his first of several dozen reports detailing concerns about Canadian forces turning over Afghan prisoners to "serious, imminent and alarming" abuse at the hands of local authorities.
Colvin reported his sources were "highly credible," adding he also "obtained first-hand reports of torture and personally saw evidence of injuries related to torture suffered by detainees."
Did Colvin, personally ever go to an Afghan jail to verify his claims? Did Colvin ever personally see an Afghan prisoner tortured? Did Colvin ever talk directly to Hillier? Did Colvin ever directly talk to Minister O'Conner? Did Colvin ever talk to the tooth fairy when he was younger?
Of course, it is possible the bureaucrats kept the potentially explosive detainee issue to themselves to give their political masters "plausible deniability" if it blew up.
More likely, the Harper government was just trying to cover up the whole thing -- sacrificing Canadian lives to bring torture to Afghanistan isn't exactly the stuff to inspire public support. Indeed, Colvin claims various superiors in Ottawa tried to get him to drop the detainee issue, but he persisted.
Let's see, the bureaucrats had been hired by the Liberals. Remember that the Conservatives only won government in January of 2006, this is April, only 4 months later. Weston spews about "plausible deniability". How about the bureaucrats wanting to make the Conservative government look bad. We all know that the foreign affairs department resents any restraints on their power. Colvin is a bureaucrat.
Canada's then top general Rick Hillier wrote in his recently released book that "we lost confidence that basic, reasonable measures were in place to ensure the humane treatment of prisoners."
Hillier bluntly rejects claims by Harper's officials that the PM was kept in the dark on the issue. Even to this day, despite Colvin's 17 months of memos, Harper and his ministers continue to plead ignorance.
I wonder if Weston can be called on his article. Given our freedom of speech laws, I suspect he can spew anything he wants to, but the fun thing is that I can spew as much as he does. He might have a bigger audience, but my audience is dedicated to our cause. Yikes that sounds NDP'ish.
Weston loses all credibility when he labels Conservatives "Bully Boys". He is a typical name calling Liberal, just like all my trolls. Too bad he isn't an unbiased journalist, most blogger are better than he is.
I really don't know, but he doesn't help himself by supporting them.
There are some obvious cutoffs to make him seem more radical, but so many statements in only a year makes all those statements more powerful.
I started out saying that I liked Obama as a person, but didn't like his policies. I now understand that he is as phony as a $3 bill. He is an empty suit. He is a disaster. He is the American Dion/Iggy.
Thank goodness that Canadians are waking up to what far left Liberals/NDP have done to our country, and they are fighting back. Quebec separatists are taking a pounding as well. Could we finally have a country that is working together for all Canadians?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I know everyone reading this will enjoy it - no matter which sex you are. This morning on the Interstate, I looked over to my left and there was a
Woman
In a brand new Cadillac Doing 65 mp h
With her Face up next to her
Rear view mirror
Putting on her eyeliner.
I looked away
For a couple seconds!
And when I looked back she was
Halfway over in my lane,
Still working on that makeup.
As a man,
I don't scare easily.
But she scared me so much; I dropped
My electric shaver ,
Which knocked
The donut
Out of my other hand. !
In all The confusion of trying To straighten out the car
Using my knees against The steering wheel,
It knocked
My Cell Phone
Away from my ear
Which fell
Into the coffee
Between my legs!
Splashed,
And burned
Big Jim and the Twins,
Ruined the damn phone,
Soaked my trousers,
And disconnected an Important call.
Damn women drivers ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kate from SDA's will love this one:
Remember the 60's? That was the age of flower children and drugs and freedom from the bra. Feminists had a goal and they achieved it. Abortions. Equality. Getting out of the kitchen. They had a purpose. I might disagree with the abortion position, but they did a lot to advance the cause of females, for that I applaud them.
Where are they now? Or, I should say, what are they now? What is a feminist these days? They have achieved all their goals, but they are so addicted to their cause they refuse to acknowledge they have become irrelevant.
One of the most harmful things that feminists have achieved is abortion. What Mother cuts her baby into pieces, legally? Do they feel better because it is legal? I don't think so. Maybe in the 60's when it was taboo to be pregnant out of wedlock, it was an issue, especially before birth control. Today, we even have the morning after pill, so why does any woman have to have an abortion? It should be a non-issue in this day and age. Feminists are lazy, they can't even get off their butts in the morning to take the morning after pill.
Feminists need to get out of the 60's. Our bodies, our choice? How about you engage your brains and stop having unprotected sex.
Another thing the 60's feminists brought us was divorce. Don't like the guy you married anymore because he leaves the toilet seat up, divorce him. It's about me, and my feelings. The pioneers stayed married, raised families and thrived. Our society right now is sick. We have more fatherless homes by the day. Our children need both parents, they need stability, they need both Mom and Dad. Our courts refuse to acknowledge that fact because feminists have convinced them that children only need Mom, and that Dad is only the wallet. That is discrimination against Dad.
Why did the numbers start going down? One reason, which the study notes, is the tendency for people to marry later. But I would also tie both the divorce peak and its diminution to the rise and decline of militant feminism’s influence. Seventy percent of divorces are initiated by women. Feminism of the man-dismissive type was a strong influence in the ‘70s and ‘80s. In the 90s, however, third-wave feminism relegated the man-haters to the fringes of the movement, and marriage regained respectability as an institution. I predict the numbers will go further down when Canada finally institutes equal parenting as the default custodial policy, as it has in jurisdictions where that is presently the case.
If you get married because the sex is good, you are an idiot. Marriage is about a long term commitment, especially when kids are involved. Don't like the way the guy squeezes the toothpaste tube? How shallow can you be? This trend is only going to get worse, because generation X is all about me, not us.
It is just so right on so many levels. At first I thought it was an April Fools joke. I'm still not sure that they are going to do this, but if they do, it will be awesome.
Finance ministers and central bank chiefs from the world's most industrialized countries will gather to coordinate global economic policy in Canada's northernmost territorial capital, an isolated town of 7,000 people.
"The February meeting will return to the G7's roots with a more frank and focused dialogue," Flaherty said in a statement. "In an ever-changing global economy, the G7 will continue to evolve, with a focus not on paper but on people -- not on communiques and accords, but on constructive dialogue on actions to strengthen the global economy." (Reporting by Louise Egan)
"In the ever changing global economy", "return to the G7 roots", "focused dialogue"? As a Canadian, you have to laugh, because these G7 finance Ministers have no idea what they are getting into.
Let's take this one point at a time.
Ever changing global economy...code for climate change/global warming.
So, let's get some of those guys up to the Arctic in the dead of winter to watch the ice melting, after they fly for 4 hours from Montreal over nothing but snow and ice. Then they land in -40C+ weather, and are glad for the heated buildings. Bet they will be glad they don't have to rely on wind turbines and solar up there, seeing as the sun goes down around 3:30, and if the wind fails to generate power, you freeze to death.
Return to the G7 roots....code for get some work done.
When you can't go out on the beach and watch the pretty girls, you will have to actually get to the meetings and do some work. The odd dog sled run or snowmobile ride is not going to cut into the meetings.
Focused dialogue...code for cut the BS.
It's hard to talk about sending BILLIONS to undeveloped countries for help with global warming when you are just hoping and praying that the heat won't cut out. Maybe they should invite Al Gore to the meetings, let him explain how the Arctic is melting, and the Northwest Passage will be open next year. Maybe he could even go out on an ice flow and ask the polar bears how they are doing, but they might be too busy killing seals to answer.
Speaking of seals, how are the Europeans going to feel about eating them? Maybe that should be all that is on the menu, seal soup, seal meatloaf, seal jerky, seal cake (okay that's going a little to far)...what can they do? Leave in a blizzard in protest?
Oh, and how about those protesters that dog any G7 meeting? I would love to see a greenie out in minus 40 weather dressed as a polar bear. It might be a tad difficult for the protesters to disrupt this meeting. If they try, let them go count polar bears out on the ice, see if they really are endangered.
Do those finance Ministers have any idea what they are in for? They can see Greenland from there! HA! Do they have any idea how far north they are going to be in the dead of winter? They will get to see the biggest and best light show on earth, the Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis. They are so amazing the Ministers might actually forget about how cold it is in awe of the dancing lights. I watch them for hours, they are hypnotic.
It appears that rooms are being booked quickly so, if you want to vacation for a few days, 250 kilometers from the Arctic circle in February, for some reason, you better book now.
Why did the government choose Iqaluit for the destination for the G7 finance Ministers? Is it to show them that the Arctic is not melting and the Northwest Passage is not going to be open anytime soon? Or do they want to make it perfectly clear that the Arctic (and Santa) are ours? Whatever the motives, it's going to be fun to watch! Further reading.
Hey Vlad, come on down! Let's open up our doors even further, why not let sponsors renege on their commitments? That's a great idea! I can bring in all my Ukrainian/Polish relatives and when they go on welfare, I can now wash my hands of them. Nice.
First, look closely at the text below the picture...2205?? Yikes, things haven't changed much since 2009!
An Ontario court has ruled in favour of a group of residents who said they should not automatically be made to pay for relatives they sponsored to immigrate to Canada, despite having pledged to do so, in a decision that could have costly implications due to the number of such immigrants who seek social assistance.
The landmark ruling by the Ontario Court of Appeal says the provincial government must consider the circumstances of immigrant sponsors and use "case-by-case discretion" when deciding whether to demand sponsors pay back the money their family members collect.
Appeal court Justices Janet Simmons, S.E. Lang and John Laskin wrote that Canada and Ontario "owe sponsors a duty of procedural fairness when enforcing sponsorship debt."
Hey judges, how about the sponsors OWE Canada and Ontario payment for sponsoring a do nothing relative who wants to live the good life in Canada, on the taxpayers back? How about some fairness to the CANADIAN taxpayer? You judges ever think about that?
So, I sponsor someone, they come over, sit around on my couch, claim poverty and get welfare. I then go to the courts and also cry poverty, and the problem is solved. No one has to take responsibility for the new guy, except us taxpayers. We have to work hard and pay taxes so we can support those new immigrants. Does anyone see the problem here, or is it only me?
However, some legal observers said the ruling has pricey implications, since the Ontario government provides millions of dollars worth of social assistance every year to sponsored relatives, and a case-by-case analysis could carry a hefty administrative price tag.
So far this year, about 5,000 sponsored immigrants have applied for social assistance in Ontario, according to the Ministry of Community and Social Services, with a cost of about $56-million. About $45-million of that has been covered by the province and the rest by municipalities. A spokesperson said $13.7-million has been paid back. Ministry spokesperson Sandy Mangat said the government tries to come up with a voluntary repayment plan, and if all else fails goes to the Canada Revenue Agency to route tax credits to cover the debt.
What tax credits, they are on social assistance? Lawyers must love these judges, they give them a whole new avenue of money sucking from taxpayers. This is another gun registry in the making.
"The idea was to control abuse, because before this mechanism existed, there was a tendency for a small number of people to import family relations to Canada for the express purpose of taking undue advantage of our welfare system, chronic care homes, what have you," said Mr. Kurland. The sponsorship system made sponsors share the overall economic burden, which curtailed this kind of abuse.
He said the creation of a "case-by-case determination system" would create "humongous administrative overhead" and weigh down any collection system.
"It just begs the question, should we be having case-by-case determination for the relatively small number of cases like this? Or could we be a little smarter, and adopt the Quebec system where the sponsor gives a 100% guarantee to pay, with no excuses possible?" said Mr. Kurland.
Finally something I can agree with from Quebec, 100% guarantee to pay. These judges need to get their heads straight. I am so tired of bleeding heart lefties that are quick to spend my tax dollars. I am calling Vladimir right now to get him into the country, he will be thrilled to sponge off of Canadians with social assistance for the rest of his life. I have hundreds of relatives just like Vlad!
Good Boy! HA! Okay so far, the lefties refuse to say good boy. They are still trying to train the PM to OBEY their commands. How's that working for you lefty reporters? Readership dropping?
Prime Minister Stephen Harper has become legend for the iron control he exerts not only over the messages his government sends out over the heads of the Parliamentary Press Gallery, but also the messages his staff and MPs project.
Over the heads?? Meaning that PM Harper should bow down to the reporters in the parliamentary press gallery? Who are you but some journalist hacks with an agenda? Why should the PM care about your hurt feelings?
The PMO issues-management unit, whose job it is to get on top of breaking developments even before they break, was meeting every morning at 6 a.m. The schedule was so gruelling one of the young staffers complained to another he was going to bed at 9 p.m. each night, adding "and I'm not 80 years old."
Liberals in the Opposition Leader's Office, meanwhile, were beginning their daily strategy and tactics meetings at 8:30 a.m. as swine flu developments dominated Question Period. The comparison of schedules demonstrates the intensity of discipline that now envelopes Harper and his staff.
So, what we have here are lazy Liberals and said reporter, who can't be bothered to get their butts out of bed early enough to catch the worm, then they complain that the worm has been eaten and they didn't get their share of it. Too funny!
For at least two years, following his battle with the press gallery in 2006, Harper has snubbed the front door of the Commons for Question Period. He established a covert route to get to the Chamber from his third-floor Centre Block office, ducking down through a narrow hallway behind the public gallery atop the west side of the Chamber, down a small staircase, and then scuttling into the government lobby through a back door across from the House Speaker's Chamber.
Arriving and leaving the Centre Block, his motorcade now pulls up beside a renovated House Speaker's entrance at the West side of the building. Harper whisks in and out as his sun-glassed Mountie bodyguards give cover.
I suspect this reporter has Harper envy, plus I think he wants cool shades like the Mounties. Given the juvenile slant to this article, is it any wonder that PM Harper would ignore the "Parliamentary Press Gallery". Notice how the press, gives the "Parliamentary Press Gallery" capitals? As if they are up there with the actual Parliament. Talk about delusions of lefties.
Harper's stubborn insistence on managing his scrums and news conferences through deputy communications director Dimitri Soudas appears to have worn down members of the press gallery executive, who up to a year ago were firing off letters of complaint almost monthly.
Gallery President Helene Buzzetti says the struggle came to be too draining, a distraction from work, and there has only been one tentative exchange with Harper's new communications director, John Williamson. Nothing has come of it so far.
Look you little babies, maybe Canadians are sick and tired of your endless whining, like this whole article. Maybe Canadians are not buying your papers because we are sick and tired of being told by reporters how we should think. The days of people getting one paper delivered to their home and watching only taxpayer funded CBC are over. We have lots of access to thousands of newspapers online, add blogs into the equation and your paper is dead unless you provide interesting unbiased articles. This article is a sad biased attempt to make our PM look like a control freak. We are not buying that garbage anymore. The polls show it.
It seems that everyone, including Obama listens to out Prime Minister. Funny I can't remember seeing this in the news...
Hey, even ex-PM Martin was there. Remembrance Day attendance has increased dramatically, why? Could it be that the Conservative government shows active support for our troops. Yes, I know that our troops are leaving in 2011...unless Obama (God of lefties) asks for us to stay. I would like them to stay and help the Afghan people, especially the young ladies.
It will be difficult to "change" anything while Obama is in control. Change as Americans are finding out is not always a good thing.
True patriot love? Hard to have Patriot love when the President of your country seems to hate his own country. Something is out of whack with America, and they better get it right in 2010 because it affects Canada.
True patriot love? Canada needs to get that love going. It seems like we only get patriotic when the Olympics are running. Maybe we should remind everyone about how great Canada is everyday, not just during the Olympics. If Canada was such a bad country, like the econuts tell us, why are people from everywhere on the planet trying to get into our country?
True patriot love! You bet. Love our country or get out.
We all know that swingers clubs are legal in Canada. What's the harm? Consenting married couples go to a club and have sex with other consenting married couples. It spices up their sex life and allows them to spread the love around. No drinks are served so 16 and 17 year olds are allowed, just to add extra spice. It's not illegal, it's not prostitution because no money is exchanged, and it's not immoral because the courts have ruled that it is okay. Nice.
Now, the new craze is to cheat on your partner to spice up your marriage. That's right, cheat and enrich your marriage. Who knew?
Look closely at her eyes, she is so happy about the cheating she can barely contain herself. Every woman must be jealous of her and her progressive husband. Watch the video at the link, then tell me how happy she is about his "business".
"I think people who have affairs are totally misunderstood and for the most part they're people who are suffering. They're really lonely within their own marriage and when you're lonely there's a biological driver that's going to make you act out to change that," Biderman said earlier this week in an interview with Canada AM.
"So they tend to have affairs, they have dalliances, and often it makes them better partners, better parents, better bosses, better employees. It's hard for people to accept that, but it's the truth."
This guy has no concept of what commitment actually means in a marriage. An affair makes someone a "better" partner? What happened to "tell death do us part"? I can tell you if my hubby cheated on me, he would be booted out of my life so fast he wouldn't know what happened to him. Luckily he knows I'm a better shot then he is! (That's for you progressives, who hate guns, but think cheating and swinging is "cool".)
Dr. Carole Lieberman -- Beverly Hills psychiatrist and author of "Bad Boys: Why We Love Them, How to Live with Them and When to Leave Them" -- disagrees that cheating strengthens relationships.
On one hand, cheating "can make a dull marriage more exciting, at least temporarily," Lieberman told CTV.ca in an email interview.
"But, in the end, most marriages suffer terribly from cheating and ultimately break apart because of the loss of respect and trust."
Respect and trust. If progressives think it's okay to have swingers clubs and to cheat, do they have any concept of what actually makes a marriage work? Are these finally the illusive Liberal values we have been hearing about?
The comments are interesting, read them all!
This person needs some help, I know a good shrink that maybe able to help him. I have been married for 36 years and in all honesty I have not had a desire to go to bed with another woman. I did all of my running around before I was married. I see marriage as a commitment between two people,if there is no commitment then what is the purpose of getting married? Our society needs help in the worst way, but not from someone like him. In marriage for the first few years it is all about sex after that it becomes respect and trust in your partner and the longer it goes the more of a friend that person becomes. If you want to cheat, stay single and do your own thing,so you can go on without hurting anyone especially children, who are the most affected by break ups.
Religion gets slammed by the progressives all the time, maybe it's time for those with morals to stand up and tell the progressives that cheating is not ever good for a marriage.
Does it seem to anyone else that we had two Mondays this week? Having Wednesday off messed up my whole schedule. Let's begin.... --------------------------------------------------------------------- Farmer John lived on a quiet rural highway. But, as time went by, the traffic Slowly built up at an alarming rate. The traffic was so heavy and so fast that his Chickens were being run over at a rate of three to six a day.
So one day Farmer John called the sheriff's office And said, "You've got to do something about all Of these people driving so fast and killing all of my chickens."
"What do you want me to do?" asked the sheriff. "I don't care, just do something about those crazy drivers!" So the next day he had the county workers Go out and erected a sign that said:
SLOW: SCHOOL CROSSING
Three days later Farmer John called the sheriff And said, "You've got to do something about these drivers. The 'school crossing' sign seems to make them go even faster." So, again, the sheriff sends out the county Workers and they put up a new sign:
SLOW: CHILDREN AT PLAY
That really sped them up. So Farmer John called And called and called every day for three weeks. Finally, he asked the sheriff, "Your signs are Doing no good.. Can I put up my own sign?" The sheriff told him, "Sure thing, put up your own sign.." He was going to let Farmer John do just about Anything in order to get him to stop calling everyday to complain.
The sheriff got no more calls from Farmer John. Three weeks later, curiosity got the best of the Sheriff and he decided to give Farmer John a call.. "How's the problem with those drivers. Did you put up your sign?"
"Oh, I sure did. And not one chicken has been killed since then. I've got to go. I'm very busy." He hung up the phone. The sheriff was really curious now and he thought to Himself, "I'd better go out there and take a Look at that sign... It might be something that WE could use to slow down drivers..."
So the sheriff drove out to Farmer John's house, And his jaw dropped the moment he saw the sign. It was spray painted on a sheet of wood....
NUDIST COLONY Go slow and watch out for chicks! ----------------------------------------------------------- Speaking of chicks....
A Lady went into a bar in Waco and saw a cowboy with his feet propped up on a table. He had the biggest boots she'd ever seen.
The woman asked the cowboy if it's true what they say about men with big feet being well endowed. The cowboy grinned and said, 'Shore is, little lady. Why don't you come on out to the bunkhouse and let me prove it to you?'
The woman wanted to find out for herself, so she spent the night with him. The next morning she handed him a $100 bill.
Blushing, he said, 'Well, thankya, ma'am. Ah'm real flattered. Ain't nobody ever paid me fer mah services before.'
'Don't be flattered... take the money and buy yourself some boots that fit. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Do you need eye glasses?
Look slowly and carefully at the picture below:
Did you see the a$$ of the girl in the back?
If you did, then you need to have your EYES CHECKED you TWISTED old Fart! That's the shoulder of the girl in front of her. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Something else to worry about ...
I'm not really concerned about swine flu. Here's my concern.
• 3 years ago, Chinese calendar year of the cow . . . Mad Cow disease.
• 2 years ago, Chinese calendar year of the bird . . . Avian flu.
• This year, Chinese calendar year of the pig . . . Swine flu.
Next year is the year of the cock - Anybody else worried? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Puppy Whistler:
