Friday Night Funnies: Quick To Judge!

Sister Mary Ann, who worked for a home health agency, was out making her rounds visiting home bound patients when she ran out of gas.

As luck would have it, a Texaco Gasoline station was just a block away.
She walked to the station to borrow a gas can and buy some gas. The attendant told her that the only gas can had been loaned out, but she could wait until it was returned. HOWEVER, Sister Mary Ann was on the way to see a patient, so she decided not to wait... and walked back to her car.

She looked for something in her car that she could fill with gas and spotted the bedpan she was taking to the patient!
Always resourceful, Sister Mary Ann carried the bedpan to the station, filled it with gasoline, and carried the full bedpan back to her car.

As she was pouring the gas into her tank, two Protestants watched from across the street.
One of them turned to the other and said,
'If it starts, I'm turning Catholic.'

A Desert Love Story

Once upon a time there was a very handsome
male camel with two huge camel humps.

He fell in love and married a beautiful female camel who had one perfect camel hump.

As time progressed, they became the proud parents of a wonderful baby camel who had no humps.

They contemplated long and hard on what to call their beautiful little boy.

They finally decided on......

Horny Hot Tub Party.

Sometimes I worry about you.

At least Steve was working before this:


------------------------------------------------------------
A hunter and his friend were sitting in a tall tower stand near Highway 7
early one cold December morning.
Suddenly, a huge buck walked out over the corn they had spread in the low
shrubs. The buck was magnificent, a once in a lifetime animal. His rack
was huge.
The hunter's hand shook as his mind was already counting the Boone and
Crockett points. Moving quickly, the hunter carefully aimed the Leopold
scope on his .300 Win Mag at the unsuspecting buck.
As he was about to squeeze the trigger on this deer of a lifetime, his
friend alerted him to a funeral procession passing slowly down Highway 7.

The hunter pulled away from the gun stock, set the rifle down, took off
his hat, bowed his head and then closed his eyes in prayer.

His friend was stunned, "Wow, that is the most thoughtful and touching
thing I have ever seen you do. You actually let that trophy deer go to pay
respects to a passing funeral procession.

You are indeed the kindest man I have ever known, and I feel lucky to call
you a friend."

The hunter shrugged. "Yeah, well, we were married for 37 years."

Have a great weekend, be warned, we are sending our cold weather east, while we will be basking in plus 5 weather. Problem is our back alleys are going to be mush. My husband had to pull two neighbours out already, and it's only going to get worse.

Why do we have huge lawnmowers for the summer and only shovels for the winter?

Seriously, Are Our Police And Prosecutors Brain Dead?

Whatever happened to our ability to protect our property? If, as a woman, I spray a potential rapist with dog spray, will I become the criminal instead of the victim? It seems to me that I would be in big trouble with the law for fighting off the rapist. This is an indication of how sick our society has become, when even the victims are prosecuted by our courts.

I used to respect our police. They stood for honour and valour. They represented all that was good in our society. I thought they stood for protecting the victims. Seems I am wrong.



Some creeps come to burn your house and property down, and you run out with a gun and shoot it, without harming anyone, even though you could have, and YOU get charged. Disgusting. Now you have huge lawyers bills to pay because you have to defend your actions to the lefty judges who coddle the criminals and ignore the victims. ENOUGH!

The incident began six years of trouble for Mr. Thomson that culminated early one Sunday morning last August when the 53-year-old former mobile-crane operator woke up to the sound of three masked men firebombing his Port Colborne, Ont., home.

“I was horrified,” he said. “I couldn’t believe it. I didn’t know what was happening. I had no idea what was going on.”

So Mr. Thomson, a former firearms instructor, grabbed one of his Smith & Wesson revolvers from his safe, loaded it and headed outside dressed in only his underwear.

“He exited his house and fired his revolver two, maybe three times, we’re not sure. Then these firebombing culprits, they ran off,” said his lawyer, Edward Burlew.

This is totally unacceptable. We have no property rights, and now we have police who are more likely to jail you for protecting yourself and your property, then going after the real criminals. Did I already say...disgusting?

It makes me so sad. Our police are now not to be trusted. I would trust truck drivers to do the right thing before I trusted our police anymore.

Truck drivers save puppies dropped at dump

Orist Tchozewski, who was transporting dirt to the Sarcee landfill on the Tsuu T'ina reserve on Tuesday, said his colleague saw two females in a black pick-up truck drop some puppies at the dump and speed away.

On his first trip of the day, Tchozewski saw three elusive pups in the midst of the trash and tried to feed them sandwiches he'd brought to work.

The next day, after Tchozewski's shift ended, his conscience forced him to return and search for the puppies.

"The one had passed away and the other two were in the mounds of dirt huddling together just trying to stay alive," he said.

"They were literally almost comatose."

I think our police are comatose these days. I know they have to uphold the law, but couldn't they use some common sense once in awhile? That goes for our politically correct prosecutors...or is persecutors more apt .

The Impressive Young "Guns"!

Can I say guns anymore, or is it taboo? Who cares, this political correctness junk has gone too far anyways. Guns, guns, guns, guns.....there it's out of my system now. Who are those young "guns"?

Two very impressive Ministers, Kenney and Moore, with lots of other young "guns" for backup, like Mike Lake, James Rajotte, Minister Rona Ambrose (you go girl!), and Pierre Poilievre (this guy is a hoot). What these MP's bring is energy and most important they actually get things done.

Ministers Moore and Kenney gave a one, two "punch" (is punch allowed? I'm getting so confused about this politically correct stuff.) today by making sure that free speech triumphed over a repressive dictatorship or threats of protests.

Heritage Minister James Moore says the screening of a controversial documentary about Iran's nuclear program will be rescheduled, a day after the event was cancelled due to reported threats to staff at Ottawa's Library and Archives of Canada.

.....

Immigration Minister Jason Kenney similarly expressed his outrage over the incident.

"The cancellation of tonight's screening of Iranium is outrageous," he tweeted Tuesday evening, adding that he hoped the event's organizers would "overcome intimidation."

These two Minister's reacted quickly and decisively. I bet they didn't even contact PM Harper before acting, they have the power of their Ministries, and the lefties just can't adjust to that fact, even after 5 years.

I want to thank James and Jason for understanding what freedom of speech really means to people who do not have it. Good job "guys" (Is guys allowed or should I have said "people" to be more inclusive?)

James Moore is smoking hot ( can I say that?) in this interview. He is clearly upset and very passionate (is this allowed?) about this issue, and the CBC guy can't get any traction with his questions. More Ministers need to show their passion (ouch is that too provocative?) over issues like Minister Moore did.

One very noticeable thing about Conservative MP's is that they are young, full of energy and dedicated to their constituents and their principles. Can this be said about Liberals, young or old? Think Ralph Goodale, Ruby Dhalla, Hedi Fry, Wayne Easter (I am going to denounce my PEI relatives if they keep voting for the likes of Easter).

What the Conservatives have that other parties are missing, is the dedication to making Canada a better place for everyone. They also have young MP's who have gained a lot of experience in the last 5 years. Look at the Liberal MP's, they are old (Goodale), shrill (Carolyn Bennett/Hedy Fry/Wayne Easter/Mark Holland), and have never met a principle that they wouldn't throw out for votes. The Liberals need to refresh and find some policies.

I like the Impressive Young "Ones" (being politically correct), they are refreshing in an Ottawa climate of stagnant, stale, out for me, politicians.

Flat Tax...A Lefty View.

It's not a big revelation that lefties don't like a flat tax. They prefer to tax the "wealthy" to death and demonize the bad corporations who actually manage to have a profit. That's why Ignatieff wants to increase corporate taxes to 18%. It's easy to make corporations the demons and the downtrodden "poor" the victims. Maybe a flat tax for all is the answer!

Look what I found when I googled "flat tax Alberta" A supposedly "non-partisan" organization that states that the flat tax is costing Albertans over 5 billion.

EDMONTON— A new fact sheet released this morning by the University of Alberta’s Parkland Institute says that the “flat tax,” introduced by Ralph Klein in 2001, is costing the province in excess of $5 billion a year. Given the projected deficit of $4.3 billion this year, simply returning to the progressive tax structure that existed in 1999 would be more than enough to move the province from a deficit budget to a surplus budget.

The fact sheet, entitled Giving Away the Golden Egg, also highlights the amount of room the province has to reform its current tax system—Alberta could collect an extra $10 billion to $18 billion per year in taxes and still be competitive with other Canadian provinces.

Hey, fact sheet, those extra taxes will come out of my income, so big NO. Make Quebec pay us back all the money we have sent them. We don't want to be competitive with other provinces, we want to be in the lead! Lower taxes, more development and income for Albertans!

More about Parkland Institute, from their own mouths to our ears:

The Parkland Institute is an Alberta research network situated within the Faculty of Arts at the University of Alberta. It operates within the established and distinctive tradition of Canadian political economy and is non-partisan.

The Faculty of Arts? Wow that impresses me to no end, I loved all my Arts courses at the U of A, they were guaranteed 9's for my grade point average. So, how "non-partisan" are they? Here's a hint....

Parkland Institute includes those who are involved in interdisciplinary and socially-engaged thinking. In the broader Alberta community, Parkland Institute works with religious organizations, professionals, trade unionists, the arts community, non-profit organizations, environmentalists, feminists, social movement activists, private sector individuals and other interested individuals.

Non-partisan my butt! Unions, feminists, social "movement" activists, environmentalists? Seriously? How about their "hero"?

1.1 History
Parkland began in 1996, with three years of seed funding from the Faculty of Arts. Its inaugural book, Shredding the Public Interest, by Kevin Taft, was co-published with the University of Alberta Press. It was a publishing success, selling about 13,000 copies in Alberta in the six weeks leading up to the March 1997 provincial election. For context, the standard measure used by Canadian booksellers for a Canadian best seller is 5,000 books sold in one year. Dave King, former Education Minister in Peter Lougheed’s Conservative government acknowledged that the book had an enormous impact on the election. The Economist stated that "Mr. Taft may be right...Maybe the whole 'Klein Revolution' as it is called, was unnecessary."i
Since then, Parkland Institute has published 32 reports, five more books and over 50 op-ed articles. The reports were written by 25 different authors. The opinion pieces were written mostly by the Director, the Research Director and the Executive Director. The work consistently meets a high standard with all reports and papers peer-reviewed before publication.

Kevin Taft? Now why does that name ring a bell? Oh, right....

Kevin Taft (born September 9, 1955) is a liberal politician in Alberta, Canada. He was the leader of the Alberta Liberal Party and leader of the opposition in the Legislative Assembly of Alberta, from 2004 to 2008. Taft was raised in Edmonton, Alberta.

Ohhhh, and they have published 32 "PEER" reviewed reports. We all know how well those "PEER" reviewed global warming papers are doing now, don't we?

Personally, I think a flat tax works better than the progressive tax we have. The "poor" pay less and the "rich" can't hide their money from taxation. You won't hear that from the lefties, because they are the masters of hiding their income from us everyday taxpayers, ex-PM Paul Martin and his ships come to mind.

The "Truth" Ads Will Work!

I wasn't aware that we were in election mode, but with Iggy doing his 20-11 tour and Layton doing a tour of his own, I guess we should get ready for one in the spring. I say, if the opposition parties want an election, bring it on!

What's so funny is that the opposition can go all over the world, (Rae and Duceppe) ranting and raving, but the Conservatives release some ads, and the left go ballistic. You see, the left want Conservative voices silenced, we are a disease that needs to be wiped out, a movement that impedes their goal for power. We can not stand up for ourselves, we are not allowed to use facts to tear down their ideas, like global warming. They can spew filth and talk about killing but a few ads quoting Ignatieff's true words sends them into a tail spin. Listen carefully to Ignatieff at this "pep" rally, also listen to a person in the crowd yell ( at about 45 sec) out "kill him". Funny, the lefty press sure hasn't reported on this incidence.



Iggy also forgets that he is not in the House of Commons and does not have immunity when he calls MP Baird all sorts of names. If that had been a Conservative, you can bet they would have been replaying it every second of every day for weeks. It shows how immature Ignatieff is and how lefties think.

Didn't Scott Reid also write an article where he asked lefties to "kill him" meaning PM Harper? Funny it seems the Globe and Mail has revised it. Here is the original quote:

Quote: This becomes relevant because suddenly, he is weak. In fact, at this particular moment, he is almost unable to defend himself. Owing to a ridiculously ill-considered act of hubris, he has laid himself vulnerable to his opponents. Their imperative could not be more clear: kill him. Kill him dead. Do not, whatever you do, provide him with an opportunity to extend his hold on power. Because you can be damn certain he will never again be so reckless as to give you a chance to finish him off.

Here is the Globe and Mail doing a "revised" article, without even an apology to our Prime Minister, stupid lefty media:

Do not, whatever you do, provide him with an opportunity to extend his hold on power. Because you can be damn certain he will never again be so reckless as to give you a chance to finish him off.

I was going to post that awful ad that the Liberals used in the 2004 election, where a REAL gun was pointed at us. If that isn't an attack ad, I don't know what is, but don't expect the media to remember that little gem. Iceman found it, and has posted it. Go there and watch it. It's the last one he has posted, called "Revolting Liberal Attack Ad". Revolting is right, I think they even fired the gun, but I can't be sure.

I was also upset today when the National Post journalist Kelly McParland, equated some "truth" ads being released by the Conservatives to the shooting disaster in the US. He is way off base and I usually expect better of him. Very disappointing.

As far as the ads go, I like the one with PM Harper best. Maybe it's a woman thing, but I really connected with that ad. I liked the quiet of the ad, I felt that really was where you could find PM Harper, it wasn't phony, and I wanted to help him with all that work so he could get home to his family. VERY effective. "Here For Canada", excellent slogan! Look for the Beatles mug.



Contrast the two videos. Ignatieff spouting off about MP Baird, or our PM hard at work? I know which one I support. Ignatieff reminds me of my father, old, stuffy and out of touch. (Sorry Dad!).

H/T to Sassy and Iceman.

We Either Live Together, Or We Die Together!

Egypt's Muslims attend Coptic Christmas mass, serving as "human shields"

Muslims turned up in droves for the Coptic Christmas mass Thursday night, offering their bodies, and lives, as “shields” to Egypt’s threatened Christian community

....

Egypt’s majority Muslim population stuck to its word Thursday night. What had been a promise of solidarity to the weary Coptic community, was honoured, when thousands of Muslims showed up at Coptic Christmas eve mass services in churches around the country and at candle light vigils held outside. (see photo gallery)

From the well-known to the unknown, Muslims had offered their bodies as “human shields” for last night’s mass, making a pledge to collectively fight the threat of Islamic militants and towards an Egypt free from sectarian strife.

“We either live together, or we die together,” was the sloganeering genius of Mohamed El-Sawy, a Muslim arts tycoon whose cultural centre distributed flyers at churches in Cairo Thursday night, and who has been credited with first floating the “human shield” idea.

Good for the silent Muslims, we have finally heard from them, and they are courageous.

Friday Night Funnies: Just A Weee Bit

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
It is a slow day in the small Saskatchewan town of Pumphandle, and streets are deserted. Times are tough, everybody is in debt, and everybody is living on credit.

A tourist visiting the area drives through town, stops at the motel, and lays a $100 bill on the desk saying he wants to inspect the rooms upstairs to pick one for the night.

As soon as he walks upstairs, the motel owner grabs the bill and runs next door to pay his debt to the butcher.
The butcher takes the $100 and runs down the street to retire his debt to the pig farmer.
The pig farmer takes the $100 and heads off to pay his bill to his supplier, the Co-op.
The guy at the Co-op takes the $100 and runs to pay his debt to the local prostitute, who has also been facing hard times and has had to offer her "services" on credit.
The hooker rushes to the hotel and pays off her room bill with the hotel owner.
The hotel proprietor then places the $100 back on the counter so the traveler will not suspect anything.
At that moment the traveler comes down the stairs, states that the rooms are not satisfactory, picks up the $100 bill and leaves.

No one produced anything. No one earned anything. However, the whole town is now out of debt and looks to the future with a lot more optimism.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how a Stimulus package works.

"An extraordinarily handsome man decided he had the
responsibility to marry the perfect woman so they could produce beautiful children beyond compare.

With that as his mission he began to search for the perfect woman.

Shortly there after he met a Redneck who had three stunning,
gorgeous daughters that positively took his breath away.
So he explained his mission to the Redneck and asked for permission to marry one of them.

The Redneck simply replied, "They're lookin' to get married,
so you came to the right place. Look 'em over and pick the one you want."

The man dated the first daughter.
The next day the Redneck asked for the man's opinion

"Well," said the man, "she's just a weeeeee bit, not that you can hardly notice...pigeon-toed."

The Redneck nodded and suggested the man date one of the other girls; so the man went out with the second daughter.

The next day, the Redneck again asked how things went.

"Well,"the man replied, "she's just a weeeee bit, not that you can hardly tell...cross-eyed."

The Redneck nodded and suggested he date the third girl
to see if things might be better. So he did.

The next morning the man rushed in exclaiming,

"She's perfect, just perfect. She's the one I want to marry."

So they were wed right away. Months later the baby was born.
When the man visited the nursery he was horrified: the baby was
the ugliest, most pathetic human you can imagine. He rushed to his father-in-law and asked how such a thing could happen considering the beauty of the parents.

"Well," explained the Redneck...
"She was just a weeeee bit, not that you could hardly tell...
pregnant when you met her."

For you male car lovers! I would tell women to beat them at their own game, but I failed this test miserably (8/20) so I'm not so sure we could beat the guys. Better to save our ammo for another cause. (OOPS, is ammo still allowed by the politically correct?)

A guy is 72 years old and loves to fish.

He was sitting in his boat the other day when he heard a voice say, 'Pick me up.'

He looked around and couldn't see anyone.

He thought he was dreaming when he heard the voice say

again,'Pick me up.'

He looked in the water and there, floating on the top, was a frog.

The man said, 'Are you talking to me?'

The frog said, 'Yes, I'm talking to you.' Pick me up then, kiss me and I'll turn into the most beautiful woman you have ever seen.
I'll make sure that all your friends are envious and jealous because I will be your bride!'

The man looked at the frog for a short time, reached

over, picked it up carefully, and placed it in his front pocket.

The frog said, 'What, are you nuts? Didn't you hear what I said? I said kiss me and I will be your beautiful bride.'

He opened his pocket, looked at the frog and said,

'Nah, at my age I'd rather have a talking frog.'

A guy walked into the local welfare office to pick up his check.

He marched straight up to the counter and said, "Hi. You know, I just HATE drawing welfare.

I'd really rather have a job."

The social worker behind the counter said, "Your timing is excellent.

We just got a job opening from a very wealthy old man who wants a chauffeur

and bodyguard for his beautiful daughter.

You'll have to drive around in his 2011 Mercedes-Benz CL, and he will supply all of your clothes.

"Because of the long hours, meals will be provided.

You'll also be expected to escort the daughter on her overseas holiday trips.

And, this is rather awkward to say but, you will also have as part of your job assignment

to satisfy her sexual urges as the daughter is in her mid-20's and has a rather strong sex drive."

The guy, just plain wide-eyed, said, "You're bullshittin' me!"

The social worker said, "Yeah, well... You started it."

Ban Mania! Lefties Gone Wild!

Next election is going to be about reining in the lefties. They are out of control, and taking it to the limit. They need to be restrained by voting them out.

Start with Huckleberry Finn...they are rewriting a classic novel so that no one is offended by a word.

Then move on to a chef who was told that foie gras was persona non gratia because 8 people protested against him.

Then we have a 25 years old song that one person complained about and it is now BANNED all over Canada. Dare you listen to it? Over 7 million and counting already have, so go for it...do something wild!



Yikes! Did you survive? Luckily the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council can't come after me because I don't belong to their organization. They can come after this brave radio station, but I doubt they have the guts. I might have to worry about the HRC though, as they are ever vigilant for any transgression by any conservative type individual or organization that they don't like. They do love our cop killers though:

But the tribunal was persuaded by Collins’ evidence that the act of standing up causes him additional pain. On that basis, it ordered the correctional service to pay Collins $7,000 for pain and suffering.

The tribunal awarded Collins a further $2,500 in special compensation, which can be ordered if the tribunal finds the discriminatory practice was willful or reckless.

Oh.My.God. How ridiculous can the HRC's and the CBSC get? Seriously? Ban a 25 year old song and give a cop killer money? Rewrite classic literature and tell chef's what to cook? Are you kidding me? It's head shakingly (new word! If Palin can do it, so can I) stupid. Four clear instances of wrongheaded lefties banning/restricting our freedoms all in one week! I wonder what next week will bring?

I just about forgot, banning isn't good enough anymore for lefties, now they are rewriting holidays! Try to get your head around this "mistake" by the EU, in forgetting to list Christian holidays like Easter, Lent and Christmas on a calendar provided to school kids.

Lefties, banning, rewriting, complaining about their "rights" and just being total idiots. It's their last grasp at that power ring, their fingers can just about touch it. Hopefully voters will grab the ring away and deny them the power they thirst for, before they ban voting!

Hands In Our Pockets.

I work hard to support my family, as I am sure you all do. So why is it acceptable for the government to take my hard earned dollars and throw them away to dictators? Who gave government the right to spend my money to support failed states? I am sick of it. If I want to donate money to Haiti or Afghanistan, I will, I don't need the government to do it for me.

MONTREAL — Twenty-four hours after being skewered by a coalition of non-government organizations for not doing more to help ordinary Haitians in the wake of last year’s devastating earthquake, International Cooperation Minister Bev Oda has announced more than $90-million worth of projects focusing on health, education and agriculture in the impoverished island nation.

If those non-government organizations want more help, let them raise the money themselves instead of blaming the government. They are blood-suckers, and they will never be happy no matter what level of funding the government gives them. Enough of non-profits expecting the government (taxpayers) to pay for every pet project they want funded.

SOUNDS CALILOUS, BUT I DON'T GIVE A DAM ABOUT HAITI. I DO CARE ABOUT CANADA AND THOSE LESS FORTUNATE IN MY COUNTRY. IF WE HAVE TO HAVE WEALTH RE-DISTRIBUTION THEN I WANT CHARTIY BEGINS AT HOME, NOT IN SOME FOREVER CORRUPT THIRD WORLD COUNTRY.

Maybe it's just too many people with their hands out who refuse to help themselves, maybe it's too many corrupt governments, maybe it's looking at our children and trying to get them through school, but it appears that Canadians are getting tired of being stepped on and bullied by every misfit organization or government who feel it is their right to have their hands in our pockets without doing anything to earn that right. Stop the aid to corrupt foreign governments. Get their hands out of our pockets.

Father Forgive Them...

For they know not what they do. Education is clearly necessary for some people in this world. Ignorance is winning, and dictators are making sure that "their" people remain ignorant. Sudan is a perfect example, the voting is being done with symbols, not words, as most of the people can't read. Can you believe that in this day and age, people can't read or write? That is how the dictators remain in power.

It is also how the Imams keep "their" people ignorant. They use the power of speech to subdue or inflame those who can not read or write. It is all about power not about religion. No wonder the power hungry lefties support the backwards preaching of the Imams, they crave power too.

Pope Benedict XVI has called for Pakistan to repeal its anti-blasphemy law and demanded that governments in predominantly Muslim countries do much more to protect minority Christians from violent attacks.

The blasphemy laws are designed to allow Muslims to control and kill minorities. The Pope needed to come out strongly against a law that is designed to allow minorities in Muslim countries to be persecuted and killed. It's not just Christians who are being threatened, it is also other Muslim sects and especially women. As a female, I shudder to even think about living in a Muslim country. It would be so repressive and down right terrifying. Violence can erupt at anytime and bombs are not reserved just for non-believers.

An influential religious party in Pakistan said the pontiff's remarks were offensive and amounted to interfering in Pakistan's internal affairs.

"The pope has given a statement today that has not only offended the 180 million Muslims in Pakistan, it has also hurt the sentiments of the entire Islamic world," said Hafiz Hussain Ahmed, a senior leader of Jamiat-e-Ulema-e-Islam (JUI).

"This is an interference in Pakistan's internal matters ... we respect the pope, being head of Christians and their religion, but he should also refrain from interfering in Muslims' religious affairs."

Here is the main problem, religious parties interfering in the business of the state. Hurt feelings? Give me a break! If you were less primitive and more respectful of your mother's, wives, and daughters, you might not be so limited as human beings. No wonder the educated Muslims are fleeing to Canada and the United States, they understand that they have to get their children out of those repressive Muslim countries if they want their children to live without fear.

May southern Sudan vote to separate, so that their children can live without fear of being a minority in a Muslim country. I pray that they achieve the freedom they deserve, and will be able to peacefully live next to northern Sudan. The vote is only one step towards independence, but it is a huge step. Makes our Quebec Bloc seem very irrelevant in the whole scheme of things doesn't it?

Green Prisons! A Match Made In Heaven.

Greens want utopia, prisoners want a new start in life, blend the two together and you get green prisons! It's an idea everyone can love. Here's how it works:

You take a bunch of greenies protesting the oil sands and a bunch of criminals protesting their unfair treatment in prisons and combine the two. You set them down in the NWT with solar panels, wind turbines, and enough materials to build shelter. It's a win win situation. The greenies can build their perfect non-oil utopia while helping reform criminals, who just need more hugs.

Think about it. Environmentalists keep telling us that the end is near if we don't change our habits, but they are they biggest users of oil products out there (plane travel to Mexico anyone, massive houses for Gore and Suzuki). If they were really serious they would set up a prototype village using only renewable energy sources. This has not been done to my knowledge. They seem to be too happy in their university dorms to actually live the life they want to impose on us.

If they are to be believed then they should lead by example. Given that our world has a fever (Gore), they should set up operations in the Arctic, to show us how to grow vegetables using wind and solar power. They should also abide by the hundred mile rule to live. If we incorporate a prison into the mix, they can train the prisoners in the set up and maintenance of green energy, so they will have a skill when they return to society. Of course if the prisoners forget to take care of the bird choppers, a prison break is very likely. In the newly warmed world, the prisoners would stand a very great chance of surviving the melting Arctic.

If I must fund environmentalists with my tax dollar, I demand that they prove that non-renewable energy is possible in Canada, in the winter. Build a model village using only renewable wind and solar, fill it with criminals and make it work. Why haven't the greenies done this yet? They have been yelping for more than 20 years, but have accomplished nothing.

Layers of Wrong.

Recently I blogged about the Somali community that refused to give information to the police about a murder. They actually blamed the police for not doing their job. One woman has been in Canada for 20 years and still doesn't feel that her community gets the respect she thinks it deserves. Immigrants need to adapt to Canada and Canadian laws, not the other way around. This one of those things we know is wrong, but don't know how to fix.

We actually have it good here in Canada, the only country we border is the US, and most US citizens who want to come here do so legally. The US has a bigger problem with their Mexican border, and have started building fences to keep illegal immigrants out of their country. That is their right. They should protect the sovereignty of their nation by any means they can.

Luckily we are not part of the EU. They have layers of governments now, and that's just wrong. Any person who makes it into a EU nation can move freely through any EU nation. Sovereignty is becoming diminished for all EU nations.

We have layers of wrong.

First layer, the elected country representatives
Second layer the unelected EU
Third layer the unelected UN
Fourth layer the unelected Human Rights Tribunals
Fifth layer the unelected special interest groups
Sixth layer the unelected powerful unions
Seventh layer, the unelected civil servants/bureaucrats
Eighth layer, the unelected environmental groups
Ninth layer, the unelected, usually illegal immigrants

I would like to say the tenth layer is the individual, but we don't count, we have no say, we have no power except our vote.

With every layer, more laws are needed and less freedom for the individual occurs. Greece can enact a law the people want, but the EU can over-rule it and if the EU doesn't the UN can strongly suggest it be changed. Countries have no real power to govern themselves anymore. That's a huge wrong for the individuals in that country. This needs to be corrected.

UN refugee agency warns on Greek anti-migrant fence

(Reuters) - The U.N. refugee agency voiced concern on Friday that Greece's proposed 12.5 km-long fence at its border with Turkey will shut out asylum-seekers fleeing violence and abuse in their troubled homelands.

The fence could lead illegal migrants, including people in need of international protection, to resort to even riskier routes with the help of unscrupulous human traffickers, it said.

So, the UN can tell countries how to protect their borders? Screw off UN, Soros and Strong! We will not bow down to your one world government dream, it's not in our best interests, only yours, you sick money hounds. Remember, you can't take your wealth with you to your grave, but you do take your lack of morals into the eternal world. I see an eternity of nightmares in your future lives.

So many layers of wrong, they tie our hands more everyday. The Tea Party has the right idea, unbind our hands, let us live free of parasites. The layers of wrong are designed to sap the blood, sweat and tears from the productive to give to the unproductive parasites and dictators of this world, like Soros and Strong, the power behind the elected dictators.

One of the biggest parasites is the environmental movement that Strong made money on. Kyoto was a scam from the get go, but the environmental puppets danced to Strong's tune because it meant millions/billions for their cause. A bigger scam has never been seen before. All those layers of what we know is wrong with our society, we need to address and quickly.

My Kid, My Choice!

Alberta is getting attention for it's education system, from California to New Zealand to the UK, educators and politicians are looking towards Alberta as a model of success. Take a bow Alberta!

Ontario parents can only wish they had Alberta parents choices for the education of their kids, but McGuilty effectively killed any chances of that happening last election by demonizing choice for parents.

Take the province’s approach to education. School officials in Oakland, Calif., have admired it so much, they’ve tried copying it there. Management texts have been written about it. They’ve praised it in New Zealand, Germany, Sweden, New York City and Chicago. And now, the U.K.’s Education secretary, Michael Gove, is hailing the Alberta education model as the prescription to fix his country’s ailing state school system.

Funny how other nation's can recognize Alberta's superior education system, but provinces won't adopt it. The Alberta Advantage is at work again!

Canada, meantime, ranked sixth overall in the 2009 PISA report, behind Shanghai, Korea, Finland, Hong Kong and Singapore. But Alberta students did most of the heavy lifting to get it there: In the past three PISA reports, Alberta has handily beaten every other English-speaking region in the world.

“Alberta has been the number one province nine or 10 times out of 12” assessments, says Peter Cowley, education policy researcher at the Fraser Institute.

“Why don’t the provinces doing poorly just emulate Alberta, why don’t they buy the Alberta curriculum?”

He suspects it is because with education being an area of provincial responsibility, each one thinks they can do it better than the rest, even if results suggest otherwise.

I suspect the problem is powerful teacher's unions who want to maintain control over our kids, and do not want any competition allowed. BC is too busy adding eco-friendly and gay material to their curriculum to be bothered with math and English. Ontario teachers unions are too busy bashing anything non-Palestinian to care about what the kids are actually doing.

I actually don't care what happens in Ontario, because my kids are able to get the quality education they need to excel in the world. If other provinces are happy with math and English illiterate kids, so much better for my kids! HA! Just kidding.

Parents need to take control back of their school systems and demand the education their kids need. Push, and push hard to make sure that YOU decide where your kids go to school. The funds in Alberta follow the students, who can go to any school in the system, and standard testing ensures that no matter which school kids go to, they all get the same basic education.

Life is good here in Alberta for our most precious resource, our kids!

Liberal CTV Gets Spanked!

Who better than Small Dead Animals to give us the lowdown.

"The stupidest decision ever made?"

Not only is CTV being exposed as huge Liberal champions, but the Sun media has been running a column by Brian Lilley about all the CBC abuses of our taxpayer money. Is it working?

These CBC stories are getting tedious. Sure looks like you're scraping the bottom of the barrel here.
Sometimes, less is more.

Sam Steil, January 5th 2011, 4:19pm

That comment is an excellent clue. Yes the reports on CBC are working. How do I know? Out of all the things my husband could have talked about today, he mentioned the CBC articles by Brian Lilley. Remember he is very non-political, so he is my weather vane on all things political. If something gets his attention, it is also getting the attention of all those other non-political people out there. Brain Lilley needs to keep it up. My husband is really mad that CBC is not disclosing their expenses. He actually wants the government to do something about it.

The time has come for the Conservative government to stop hiding from the issues that are important to Conservatives. The time is now for the Conservative government to start pushing the opposition. The time is now for the Conservative government to stop funding Liberal special interest groups, like the HRC's and CBC. Stop being pacifist, junkless wonders and go for the juggler. Stop the taxpayer funding of political parties, if the opposition don't like it, election here we come.

People want to vote for a party that listens to them, not a party that twists itself into a mini-me Liberal party. Get bold, grow some spine. The average non-political person is ripe for the picking. They want a party to vote for, not against.

Bird Flu Wasn't Bad Enough, Now We Have A Bird Spy?

I've checked and it's not April Fools, but someone has to call this what it is, and that's totally off the wall ridiculous! Seriously, a bird spy!

Vulture tagged by Israeli scientists flies into Saudi Arabia ... and is arrested for being a spy

A vulture tagged by scientists at Tel Aviv University has strayed into Saudi Arabian territory, where it was promptly arrested on suspicion of being a Mossad spy, Israeli and Saudi media reported Tuesday.
The bird was found in a rural area of the country wearing a transmitter and a leg bracelet bearing the words 'Tel Aviv University', according to the reports, which surfaced first in the Israeli daily Ma'ariv.

Read more if you think you need to, but you know the ending. Killer sharks and eyecam vultures trained by Israel to spy on whoever. It would be funny if it wasn't so pathetic.

See The Evil, But Hush Up About It.

This lady makes it really clear why immigrants just don't get Canada.

The Somali community in Edmonton has had lots of their young men killed, police think it might be drug related. Okay, they know it is drug related. Every time another young Somali male dies, the community blames our police, who are doing handstands to help their community, but it is never enough.

Clark's anger stems in part from what he sees as a lack of trust between local Somalis and police after a substantial amount of resources were invested to improve the relationship. In the wake of dozens homicides that claimed young men from the community in the past several years, the city responded with several town hall meetings, sports tournaments, an African Centre and other efforts to elicit change. Edmonton also created 18 organizations to help facilitate integration.
"So when we hear people in the Somali community and these ethnic communities complaining about city administration it frustrates us," said Clark on Sunday.
But Ilham Ahmed, a board member of the Somalia Community Centre, argues police are wrong to pin all the responsibility on the community.
"Why do we have to look for our own criminals?" she asked. "What I see is negligence from the police community because when you are trained to investigate a murder you are not supposed to be make special - a criminal is a criminal. He doesn't have a face, he doesn't have a race."

She doesn't blame her community members for allowing their young men to sell drugs, she blames the police for "racial profiling".

Still, Ahmed argues there is a sense of isolation in the Somali community, and a sense of disconnect between her culture and the city at large. She says she struggles to feel at home, even 20 years after immigrating to the country.
"Nothing has been done for this community. We are left on our own," she said.

 Maybe Ahmed should start contributing to Canada and Edmonton. After 20 years she should not be in a community of only her own "people", she should be an Albertan. Nothing has been done for her community? What about the 18 programs mentioned earlier? I think little Ahmed doesn't want to integrate into our community, she wants to be a victim all her life. Maybe she would feel better if we moved her community out of the city to the deep woods, then maybe she would be happy with her culture.

Some people who live in the area are doing everything they can, funny the name doesn't sound Samoli.

Lew Rodney has battled for five years to get the upper hand on crime in his downtown neighbourhood.
And the 3 a.m. New Year's Day shooting death of a young father-to-be at the Papyrus Lounge near 112 Street and 107 Avenue has only strengthened his resolve.
"My home is here, my business is here, why should I move?" said Rodney, who can see the Papyrus Lounge from his window at his land surveying firm in the Queen Mary Park neighbourhood.
"We want them to move — they need to go, not us."
Rodney is referring to the "criminals and prostitutes that walk around and act like they own the area."
Rodney took matters into his own hands when he joined the 107 Avenue Safe Squad about five years ago. He is one of just two community volunteers who split foot patrols in the area every two weeks.
He says progress is being made, but it's slow.
"We want to make this neighbourhood respectable," said Rodney, who notes Safe Squad efforts have made progress tackling graffiti.
"But we need to do more and it's hard and takes time, especially when no one around here wants to join, they just hide from the police."
It's the reluctance of people in the community to talk or get involved that frustrates Rodney, who's lived in the Queen Mary Park area since 1983, the most.

No one wants to join, they hide from the police. Now why would that be? Meanwhile Ahmed is crying crocodile tears about how she doesn't feel welcome here. Okay lady, I could care less about YOUR culture, it's about time you started to care about your young people, they are killing each other, and YOUR community REFUSES to tell the police who did it. Enough sniveling and blaming everyone but yourself. If you refuse to integrate, you are your own worse enemy, and your young kids are dying because of your ignorance.    

Mahamad Accord, president of the Alberta Somali Community, blames the city and police for not doing enough to prevent and solve such bloodshed.
But Mohamed Abdi, spokesperson for the Somali-Canadian Cultural Society of Edmonton, says the majority of the over 10,000 Edmontonians of Somali descent are just as frustrated as everyone is.
And Abdi stresses that the act of a few Somali does not represent Edmonton's growing Somali community.
"We are doing our best to provide alternatives to the Somali youth," said Abdi, who organizes after school sports and homework clubs at the Africa Centre, located at 13160 127 st.
"We want to enrich our youth with self-esteem and skills they need to be productive."

 Mahamad joins Ahmed in blaming the police, but one small voice Mohamed Abdi speaks some sense and actually seems to be doing more than just whining like Ahmed and Mahamad. Stop blaming everyone but yourselves for allowing your kids to be out dealing drugs, it seems to be part of YOUR culture, not mine as a fourth generation Albertan.

How about you take your drug dealing "culture" and go back to Samoli where I am sure you will feel more welcome. We don't want your drug dealing kids selling drugs to our kids.

Lefties Intruding On Everything You Do!

I gave my husband my Christmas wish list, and it included two Ayn Rand books, "We the Living" and "Fountainhead", I already had the hard copy version of "Atlas Shrugged" and wanted her other two books in my collection. Being a good husband he went off to find the books for me. He could not find them at Chapters, so he actually had to go all the way downtown to a place called "Audrey's" to get them. Thanks hubby!

The interesting thing is that he has no clue about the author or her philosophy, he was just fulfilling my Christmas wish. As he was paying for the books, the clerk made a point of telling him that she did not believe in Ayn Rand's philosophy. He told her he had no clue what she was talking about and was only buying the books for his wife, who wanted them. He found it quite strange that a clerk would disapprove of his book choice and mentioned it to me. I laughed and told him not to worry, Ayn Rand was not for everyone.

What bugged me was the fact that a clerk in a bookstore felt it was her duty to tell him her opinion of his book choices. Can you say, typical lefty brain dead moron? Seriously, what business was it of her's to tell my husband that she disapproved of his/my reading choice?

That made me think about internet comments. During the day, lefties rule the comments, but at night Conservatives post more comments. On the weekends, most newspapers and especially CTV close down the comments, but when they don't, Conservatives post more than lefties. A good example is this CTV comment section that got closed down really fast.

Former UN Staffer
said

So Paul Heinbecker is mad at the Tory govenrment? Too bad. Unlike the majority of the posters here, I have actually worked with this man. He is a prima dona, lost in his socialist dream channeled via the liberal party and a full member of the UN backroom club. A wheeler-dealer in the worst sense of the term, he is fully at home in the exclusive dining rooms where the deals are cut and payoffs are routine. I spent 2 years on the staff of the Canadian delegation (during the Chretien years) and saw more deals and payoffs made than I can count. I am proud that Canada is no longer playing that game and praise this government for taking action. I can only hope that there will be some criminal action taken soon against those who profited from this (a dim hope, but I hold it nonetheless).

Read all the comments, it's worth your time. I also went over to the Globe and Mail today, briefly. Every time I go there it makes me think of Rabble.ca, a real leftist haven that kicks any conservative out after a post or two (you see NDP supporters don't like diversity). Makes me wonder if the Globe is supported financially by the Rabble founders. I don't care if they are, because the comments discourage any right minded person from ever buying that paper, which means they are loosing over 40% of Canadians by their biased reporting. I wonder if Soros and Tides Canada contribute any funding to the Globe and Mail? Here is an example of what I mean of the lefty vision of the Globe and Mail.

 U.S. to impose new emission rules on power plants, refineries

The proposed regulations – to take effect at the end of 2012 – would be in addition to EPA rules that came into effect on Sunday that require all new plants or major expansions to get permits for emitting carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases (GHGs).
That permitting requirement has been in the works for several months. Federal Environment Minister John Baird has said Ottawa will not adopt similar measures, but will broadly match the U.S. regulatory approach.
Despite the movement south of the border, the Harper government has given no indication how it intends to regulate Canadian industry, including oil companies who could face significant additional costs for the rapidly expanding oil-sands sector if Ottawa follows the U.S. lead.

Notice how the article specifically mentions the oil-sands sector, and nothing about Ontario's polluting coal plants or Quebec's asbestos industry? Lefties are sooo predictable in their discrimination. Oil companies might face additional costs which will be passed on to the consumer, don't you lefties remember Obama, your saviour,  telling you that energy costs for you were going to skyrocket? The US is already talking about $4 a gallon gas. Here is a sampling of the lefty comments:

that's not the way we do business up here. We sell out to foreign countries, and let them pollute our air, rivers, and land. They own the shares, so get the lion's share of the profits, and we tug our forelocks, and tip our caps, to our European, Oriental, and American masters. We pay 40% more for fuel 200 miles from it's source, and think ourselves lucky it's not 60%.

I bet the same lefties that post in Rabble pollute the Globe and Mail. It stinks really bad in there. Don't go if you don't have to.

Alberta Needs To Revolt Against All Leeches!

We are stuck with a useless Premier at a time when we need a Ralph Klein back to protect Alberta from federal MP's bent on stopping oilsands development. These opposition MP's are not investigating the impact of flooding lands for hydro development because that would tick Quebec off. The environmental groups aren't being funded to stop mining in Ontario and Quebec but they are getting millions from Americans to "demarket" the oilsands. It makes me wonder why all opposition parties voted to stop tanker traffic in northern BC. We know they are supported by the unions, feminists and special interest groups like the environmentalists. Who else is influencing those MP's?

I starting reading the Hansard because of a post by Just Right. Some interesting testimony by some interesting parties, but the opposition is deaf to anything that does not support their own biased thinking.

According to my analysis and preliminary calculations, over the past ten years American foundations have spent approximately $300 million on conservation initiatives in Canada and the so-called reform of our resource-based industries—forestry, mining, aquaculture, and oil and gas. About $50 million of that went straight to first nations, especially on the coast of British Columbia, including, for example, one grant for $27.3 million. That was a single grant.

    Roughly 80% of that $209 million came from five foundations: the Hewlett Foundation, the Packard Foundation, the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, the Pew Charitable Trusts, and the Rockefeller Brothers Fund. These are the foundations I have referred to as “The Big Five”. They have $22 billion in assets. They give away $1.2 billion every year. Their CEOs earn $600,000 to $700,000 a year. Their senior environmental staff are paid in the $300,000 range. Some of these professional environmentalists are paid more than the Prime Minister of our country.

 Read the whole thing, it's very enlightening. No wonder the environmentalists are screaming so loudly, the Americans are paying them to do it. More proof that the "global warming" scam is all about money and not the environment.

The fight is not over, and businesses are seeing the advantage of the "global warming" scam. They want in on the whole mess because they see the ability to tax the consumer while making it seem that they are helping to save the world.  A prime example is RBC.

Canada’s biggest bank has unveiled stronger environmental and social risk management policies.
The policy changes by Royal Bank of Canada come just weeks after Canada gave its official support to the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
The Rainforest Action Network said the changes are a clear signal that RBC is standing up for aboriginal rights and stepping away from oil sands projects.
The group, along with First Nations and other shareholders, has spent two years campaigning against RBC and other Canadian banks that provide financing and business services to energy companies that operate in Alberta’s oil sands.

I say boycott the Royal Bank of Canada until they divest themselves of ALL their investments in the oilsands, this applies to ALL unions, like the Ontario Teachers Union, and all Quebec unions.

You can claim anything you want, but don't take us for fools. We understand perfectly that you are talking out of both sides of your mouth at one time, just like the First Nations who are getting American money to protest the oil pipelines, as they negotiate with the provinces to get huge royalties from those same oil pipelines.

Alberta needs to revolt against all these leeches. They want more taxes from the profitable businesses while taking money from American "charities" who want more control of the development of OUR resources.  Wake up Alberta, enough is enough!
