As Conservatives we need to quit fighting the lefties and understand that we are the government. I repeat, we are the government. Granted we only have a minority but we are still the ones in power. Iggy thinks he is the PM, he has put the Conservatives on probation. HA! What an idiot.
PM Harper gets ridiculed because his riding is in Alberta, Iggy gets praised because he was living out of our country for more years then he has been alive, and gets parachuted into a Liberal stronghold. PM Harper has fought for his vision of Canada all his life, Iggy has no vision for Canada, and has only been here for three years. Three years and he thinks he should be the Prime Minister of Canada?? BS.
The MSM is driving the agenda, it is time for us to take back the power. We have the power because we can protest against the media by informing their sponsors that we will be boycotting their businesses. The media is already suffering from a lack of advertising, the last thing they need is a protest against their biased reporting. That is exactly why we need to protest the bias. If the Tamil Tiger supporters can get away with illegal protests, surely we can get away with a perfectly legal boycott of companies who advertise in our biased media.
My recent experience with Shaw has made me understand that, we the consumer have the power.
I am sick and tired of our media constantly slagging our Prime Minister.
I am sick and tired of the media forgetting to cover our Prime Minister when he travels internationally, yet they trumpet Iggy's international experience.
I am sick and tired of the Liberals witch hunt on Mulroney, while they conveniently forget about the 40 million stolen from Canadians that went directly into the Liberal party pocket.
I am sick and tired of the attempt to make Minister Kenney the bad guy in the iRuby scandal. iRuby made her bed, she has to sleep in it, and Iggy might try to distance himself from it, but the stink is going to stick to him.
I am sick and tired of the lefties pretending that the coalition was a great idea. It was about a bunch of socialists thinking they could override the voters of Canada, and they are preparing to do it again. Next election a vote for the Liberals, NDP or Greens will be a vote for a coalition government. The only party standing in the socialists way are the Conservatives.
I am sick and tired of leftists. They want legal marijuana, swingers clubs that 16 year old kids can legally go to, and they want us to pander to terrorist groups like the Tamil Tigers.
I am sick and tired of socialists, they are destroying our country!

Dogs, Man's Best Friend!
I have been stuck inside all day due to rain, snow and negative temperatures, not how I planned to spend Victoria day. Just like the negative temperatures, I am tired of the negative political climate. So, I watched some very inspiring Youtube videos about one of my passions, dogs. Watch and be amazed at how selfless these dogs and people are when it comes to caring about another dog.
Funny how dogs never walk into the vets to get an abortion, how birds spend all spring caring for and feeding their young, but humans are too self absorbed to care about babies being killed. I bet all of you who watched those videos were pulling for the dogs to win, for the injured dog to survive, for a happy ending. Thankfully all those videos did have a happy ending. Too bad 100,000 babies a year in Canada don't get the same compassion and love.
On a lighter note, Rigger needs a bigger pool. I guess I need to go garage sale hunting for a kiddy pool. HA! Who am I kidding, I love garage sales, I don't need an excuse to go to them.
What a fun time we are having with Rigger, he is going to be an awesome assistance dog! It's a full circle, dogs helping dogs, people helping dogs and dogs helping people, no wonder I love dogs!

A Dog Day Of Spring!
I swear if I ever met Gore or Suzuki in person, I would pop them one right on their nose. I am so sick of these fake environmentalists, my teeth are clenched as I type.
I have been nursing my little plants since February (28 trays), it is time for them to be outside but NO they are still indoors staying warm, because it is going to SNOW this week! Here they are waiting to be planted:
The weather didn't stop us from planting our garden, Rigger was not very happy that he was not allowed to help us! Poor boy.
I was really tired yesterday and didn't want to get the garden in, but hubby pushed me to get it done. Thank goodness he did because it rained today and even if it snows, it will just be extra moisture for the garden.
Notice the four rain barrels in the picture, and the two composters, take that Suzuki/Gore, I walk the walk and get no money for doing it. Where are your rain barrels/composters?? Oh, you are only interested in carbon credits in a company you own? Talk about giving real environmentalists a bad name, by his name alone, we can understand Gores nature. Okay the lawn needs work, but notice no dandelions. In a few weeks everything will be fixed, without chemicals!
I want to see Ellie May's garden. She's the leader of the Greens isn't she? So, how green are the Greens? Let's see your gardens, let's see you out there starting community gardens, and leading the way, without government money. HA! Thought so.

Nannygate: Evidence Mounts Against Dhalla
IRuby has been hung out to dry by Iggy and all the other Liberals. She is digging a hole so deep she might get back to India for another episode of, I hope they learned their lesson. At that time she used the; IRuby didn't mean it, IRuby am innocent and the media is misquoting me defense.
Face it, we all knew her first reaction was the true reaction. Because it happened in India, we didn't really care, and it didn't make big waves over here in Canada.
Now, we care. IRuby made a huge mistake testifying just after the very emotional nannies. IRuby came across as arrogant and uncaring, much like her comment, "I hope they learned a lesson", came across in India. IHunter think IRuby is in deep trouble. Watch this quick summary of what has been happening, Global did a good job emphasizing the details.
Watch it here!
IRuby is just one example of Liberal values, you know, those values they always yap about, but can never actually define. It appears she was using the government program to get cheap care for a Mother who didn't even need it. If this was an immigrant scamming the EI or welfare program, they could face deportation, but because this is a MP taking advantage of an immigrant, in my eyes it is even worse. She has no right to use her position as an MP to intimidate an immigrant. That is just so wrong on so many levels it makes me sick.
I understand she is innocent until proven guilty, but if that is the case, then so is Mulroney, and yet the Liberals continue to hound him for their political gain. What about a 20 year old tape of a Conservative who wasn't even an MP at the time? That was harped on endlessly by the MSM and lefties, for political advantage.
Only a lefty would close their eyes to what IRuby and her family did to those poor nannies. The court of public opinion has been used by the Liberals to convict Conservatives without a trial, it's the Liberals turn now. Funny how what goes around, comes back around.

Friday Night Funnies: Golf And Love!
John and Helen met while on vacation, and John fell head over heels in love.
He was convinced that it was true love.
And so....on the last night of his vacation, the two of them
went to dinner and had a serious talk about how the relationship would
continue.
It's only fair to warn you, I'm a total golf nut, '
John said to his new found lady friend. 'I eat, sleep and
breathe golf, so if that's going to be a problem, you'd better
say so now!'
Helen took a deep breath and responded: 'Since
we're being honest with each other, here goes ... You need to
know that I'm a hooker' 'I see', John replied.
'That's a problem, for sure.' He spent some time looking
down at the table, deep in thought.
Then he added,
'You know, it's probably because you're not keeping your wrists
straight when you tee off.'

The Three bears
A far more accurate account of the events of that fateful morning...
Baby bear goes downstairs, sits
in his small chair at the table.
He looks into his small bowl. It is empty.
'Who's been eating my
porridge?' he squeaks.
Daddy Bear
arrives at the big table and sits in his big chair. He looks into his big bowl
and it is also empty. 'Who's been eating my porridge?!?' he roars.
Mummy Bear
puts her head through the serving hatch from the kitchen and yells, 'For God's
sake, how many times do I have to go through this with you idiots? It was Mummy
Bear
who got up first. It was Mummy Bear who woke everyone in the house. It was
Mummy Bear who made the coffee. It was Mummy Bear who unloaded the dishwasher
from last night and put
everything away. It was Mummy Bear who swept the floor
in the kitchen. It was Mummy Bear who went out in the cold early morning air to
fetch The newspaper and croissants. It was Mummy Bear who set the damn table.
'It was Mummy Bear who walked the bloody dog, cleaned the cat's litter tray, gave them their food, and refilled their water.
'And now that you've decided to drag your sorry bear-asses downstairs and grace Mummy Bear with your grumpy presence, listen carefully, because I'm only going to say
this once....

FRIGGING PORRIDGE YET!!!'

BEST EVER BLONDE JOKE
A blonde calls her boyfriend and says, 'Please come over here and help me. I have a killer jigsaw puzzle, and I can't figure out how to get
started.'
Her boyfriend asks, 'What is it supposed to be when it's finished?'
The blonde says, 'According to the picture on the box, it's a rooster.'
Her boyfriend decides to go over and help with the puzzle.
She lets him in and shows him where she has the puzzle spread all over
the table.
He studies the pieces for a moment, then looks at the box, then turns to
her and says,
'First of all, no matter what we do, we're not going to be able to
assemble these pieces into anything resembling a rooster.'
He takes her hand and says, 'Second, I want you to relax. Let's have a
nice cup of tea, and then ..' he said with a deep sigh, . .. . .. .
(scroll down)
'Let's put all the Corn Flakes back in the box.'

Remember all those times you were dancing and you thought you were Fred Astaire?

Fox News, Opt In? Or Opt Out?
So SDA broke the news that Shaw was removing Fox News from it's line up, and you would have to OPT IN to keep the channel.
Seeing as I am a customer, I fired off this comment to AskJim:
I got the standard email of acknowledgment back a few minutes later. I checked for a response in the morning, nothing, but when I got home I had received two email.
Email one arrived at 10:08 AM:
The standard boilerplate email everyone was getting. They clearly say it is an OPT IN service.
Email two arrived at 10:09 AM
Now this one sounds like people can OPT OUT of Fox News. So which one is it??
Opt-in or Opt-out?
I guess they decided to ignore the fact that I wanted to drop 17 CBC channels. Too bad, I really had my hopes up there! HA!!
If they turn my Fox News channel off even for one hour, I will be switching services.
Shaw Filters Fox For U!
From one of several emails I've received;
I write to draw your attention to a situation I just encountered with Shaw Direct (the satellite TV provider formerly known as Star Choice). Returning from a short business trip my daughter advised me that there was a "message" from Shaw and I could read it on the TV.
The message advised me that in response to complaints (unnumbered and unspecified) about some disparaging comments about Canada's military folks made by a Fox News show personality Shaw had decided that those persons subscribing to Fox News would have until May 18 to affirm their desire to continue their subscription to that Channel or else it
would be shut off.
Seeing as I am a customer, I fired off this comment to AskJim:
I have read that Shaw customers now have the choice to get rid of FoxNews and replace it with something else. I specifically got Star Choice so that I could get FoxNews, so I want to keep it!
But, seeing as you are offering your customers the chance to get rid of a news station and replace it with another channel, I would love to get rid of CBCNews network (390) as it offends me daily, and replace it with Movie Central 1 (621). If Movie Central 1 isn't available as a choice, please send me a list of those channels I can choose from.
I think this is an excellent idea. You are allowing us to actually choose the channels we get instead of forcing us into selected packages. I have counted and there are 17 other CBC channels I would like to get rid of and replace with channels I would like to actually watch, is this possible? Thank you
I got the standard email of acknowledgment back a few minutes later. I checked for a response in the morning, nothing, but when I got home I had received two email.
Email one arrived at 10:08 AM:
Good morning xxxxxx,
Thank you for taking the time to email us at Shaw Direct.
Shaw Direct will not be removing Fox News from its lineup. We are enabling Shaw Direct customers the freedom to make the choice if they would like to receive it. There have been recent inappropriate and disrespectful comments on the channel regarding the Canadian Military’s efforts in Afghanistan, comments that were found to be offensive to our customers. Because of this, many Digital Favourites and FYI subscribers have expressed concern over not having an option to remove FOX News from their line-up. We are moving the channel to an opt-in service starting May 19. If you would like to continue receiving FOX News, we can add it back on to your account at no cost. We apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused you. We simply took into consideration the feedback of our customers, and created a way to accommodate everyone regarding this matter.
We are not offering for this channel to be swapped at this stage.
with thanks, Ross
The standard boilerplate email everyone was getting. They clearly say it is an OPT IN service.
Email two arrived at 10:09 AM
Hi xxxxxxx
Our customers have asked to remove it only because of the negative comments made about our military. We have just provided them the option to drop it but we will be keeping it on for anyone who wants to keep it
Regards
jim
Now this one sounds like people can OPT OUT of Fox News. So which one is it??

It Appears They Are Protesting Again, But....
This picture shows a massive protest today on Parliament Hill. Guess those Tamils don't get the message? Think again. This is a protest that the media forgot to cover.
It is the March for Life rally that had 12,000 people show up in support of life. I looked all over the MSM sites to find pictures and a story, but I couldn't find any. I did find a site that had lots of pictures, showing lots of support and some of the MP's that spoke out. Funny how it was only Conservative and Liberal MP's that support life.
Sadly only 18 MP's were brave enough to show their support. I applaud those 18 seeing as this Bloc MP shows you what they have to face in Parliament for their life stance.
She forgets to inform people watching that abortion in Canada is legal up to and including the actual birth. What a selfish little prig she is, it's all about her body and nothing about the baby. Her fellow Bloc MP is no better:
Funny, Lalonde has been battling cancer for over two years, so if euthanasia is such a big issue with her, why is she attempting to keep on living? Why is she fighting the very death that she wants for others? Or, is she pushing this because she is personally afraid of the pain of death and is too scared to do anything about it herself. Maybe she is trying to save her family from making that decision, and thinks forcing it on everyone in Canada makes it okay somehow? Could it be that she is Catholic, and knows that the Church says that suicide is a sin, and if someone else decides for her, she would be absolved?
We will have to start calling the Bloc the Culture of Death party, as they support both abortion and euthanasia. Sicko's.
All the death the Bloc supports disgusted me, so I found a wonderful video about babies. It made me remember those 2 o'clock in the morning kicks to my always full bladder. Watch how the baby responds to the Mom's touch. Can anyone watching that video still think that baby should be legally killed? Well it can be, right here in Canada, and we as taxpayers would pay for it too!
Our society is not worth saving when we are willing to kill our most vulnerable, the young, the old, and the sick.

May 14, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Francine Lalonde, the Bloc Québécois Member of Parliament from La Pointe-de-l'Île, on Tuesday introduced a private members bill to legalize euthanasia in Canada.
Bill C-484 would add an exception to the criminal code, ensuring that doctors will not face criminal prosecution if they help a person die who is at least 18 years old and who, after being given or refusing treatment, continues to "experience severe physical or mental pain without any prospect of relief," or suffers from terminal illness.
"The time has come for this Parliament to find a way to decriminalize medical assistance in dying, which is of such vital importance to those whose suffering can no longer be relieved except by this ultimate compassion," said Lalonde in introducing the bill.
Lalonde went on to observe that so far three countries in the E.U., and two U.S. states, have legalized assisted suicide. "Serious research into the application of this legislation and their very specific criteria clearly shows that the greatest fear expressed in this Parliament some years ago, abuses and the hypothetical slippery slope, has not in any way become reality," she said.
Funny, Lalonde has been battling cancer for over two years, so if euthanasia is such a big issue with her, why is she attempting to keep on living? Why is she fighting the very death that she wants for others? Or, is she pushing this because she is personally afraid of the pain of death and is too scared to do anything about it herself. Maybe she is trying to save her family from making that decision, and thinks forcing it on everyone in Canada makes it okay somehow?

The Nannies Versus I Ruby!
I have been having problems since I got my Mac because my video capture program only works on Windows. I think I have solved the problem tonight, so here is my take on.....
The nannies versus I Ruby!
As a female, I am ashamed of I Ruby. She is blaming everyone except herself. I understand that Liberals think only about themselves, and that is what I Ruby is doing, but she is making it way worse than it should have been. She is not believable and the nannies are, so the hole is just going to get bigger for I Ruby. She has thrown her brother and the nannies under the bus and the Liberals are now trying to make it some sort of Conservative conspiracy?
Get real! There are Liberal fingerprints all over this issue. Just come clean I Ruby, you can not win this fight unless you do. This is not going to disappear. We already understand that Liberals are entitled to their entitlements, so we are not too shocked.
What is bothering me is the way these poor nannies have been treated, not only by the Dhalla family, but by our country. I hope the committee changes how this program works. It has it's good points, and I would have loved to have a Philippine nanny, but I do not understand how the Dhalla's qualified for the program. I Ruby was using her position as an MP to get some "perks" of the job and it backfired.
Own up and move on I Ruby.
UPDATE: Seems like I Ruby is in deeper trouble.

Too Cold To Blog!
I spent the day at track and field and froze my butt off. At noon I finally went home, got the winter coat and boots out and went back with a blanket for my youngest boy, who was wearing shorts. My guy was upset because he would be competing with the grade eight's and thought he would do badly. Turns out he came in fourth in the 800 race, so he was quite happy. Learning about failure is not a bad thing, if you understand it's just a part of life that you can cry about, or defeat.
I have never been so cold for so long as today. Even sitting in front of our fireplace hasn't warmed me up.
I did watch the Ruby Hour, what a disgrace. If you didn't catch it, it was taped and you can see it all here. More on that when my fingers thaw out.
Where is that global warming we are supposed to be scared of? I say bring it on!!

The Door Has Been Opened.
The end of the rule of law. Six brave police officers try to hold back 2000 angry protesters.
The rule of law keeps every person safe because everyone is considered equal by the law. So, why did these protesters get a free ride when they were obviously breaking the laws of our country.
It's sad that the Tamil's break the law to protest the treatment of terrorists who are killing Tamils. They even carry the flag of the terrorists. We are supposed to feel sympathy for them when they bring their young kids to a rally where they are breaking the law.
We have the First Nations blockading Caladonia for three years, now we have the Tamils breaking the law without getting arrested. Reverse racism is ugly and progressives are the first to jump into the pot. Iggy promised the Tamils, what? Talking about it in the closed Liberal caucus meeting? Get real Iggy, who believes you anymore?
The Liberals are vote hunting, they do not care about Tamils, if they did, they would have done something about it in the 13 years they were the government. Iggy is just pandering to the Tamil voters. As a matter of fact, it's funny that a message from the Liberals would end the protest. Prearranged? Preplanned? Who knows, but the media sure isn't talking about a conspiracy between the Liberals and the Tamils.
Ruby baby is trying to change the channel by eluding to a conspiracy against her, now Liberal leader Iffy is supporting an illegal Tamil protest, what a garbage party the Liberals are, they have no morals, and they are never responsible for their own lack of morals!
The door has been opened, who is next?

From Alberta With Love!
I know that Quebec is the Grandpa in confederation, and Alberta is the young pup, but Grandpa is dying and the pup is full of energy.
The Bloc have a bigoted view of Alberta, listen to them in question period, they certainly appear to hate us, or our oil. I can not ever remember Duceppe visiting Alberta, he doesn't need to because they have no MP's from here. What an easy job, campaign on taxpayers money only in Quebec.
Why are Conservative numbers dropping in Quebec, after all the pandering and giving megabucks to Quebec, they are upset because of less than 2 million dollars cut from ARTS? Not true, they just needed a reason to elect separatists who do nothing but collect big bucks and pensions. They are hypocrites, they elect the block because it makes them special.
Well, enough is enough, Quebec is no more special than PEI, or BC. I want Duceppe to get his arrogant butt out to Alberta and find out that we are people too, and we do not have knuckle dragging arms or horns.
I am sick and tired of question period being 70% French and 30% English. I could care less what Liberal MP can speak French, I want to hear real questions, and real answers.
Quebec can stand on it's own two feet, they do not need the 8 billion from the rest of Canada. PM Harper and the Conservatives should stop giving special attention to Quebec, they will never be happy. They might even respect you if you smack them down and tell them to grow up.
This comes from Alberta with love, because it's time for Quebec to get it's head straight or leave.

A Day For Mothers!
Mother's Day is a very special day because some women actually WANT to become Moms. It is the most rewarding experience any women can ever experience. Not to ignore men, but Moms are special. We form a connection with our baby very early, even before the foot in the stomach in the middle of the night. I knew I was pregnant before the doctor told me, I felt a special presence living within my body, it is an amazing feeling. So to all Moms out there, enjoy your special day.
To the Moms on their special day who have lost their child in Afghanistan, my heart bleeds for you, I can not imagine the pain of losing your child. Be assured that we are remembering, and we are praying that your grief will be lighter because of the support of our nation, Canada.
To my wonderful boys, I love you with all my heart, you are my soul.
(You will be required to help me plant the veggie garden tomorrow no matter how much I love you!)

Friday Funnies: Saving the Antelope!
It's that time again, when you sit back, relax and hopefully have a few chuckles.
One in a million picture.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HAT
A man was sunbathing naked at the beach.
For the sake of civility, and to
keep it from getting sunburned, he had a hat over his
private parts.
A woman walks past and says, snickering, "If you were
a gentleman you'd lift your hat."
He raised an eyebrow and replied, "If you weren't
so ugly, it would lift itself."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Saving the antelope:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A strawberry blonde was weed-eating her yard and accidentally cut off the tail of her cat which was hiding in the grass.
She rushed her cat, along with the tail, over to WAL-MART!
Why WAL-MART??
HELLOOOOOOOOO!
WALMART is the largest re-tailer in the world!!!

WOMEN'S ASS SIZE STUDY
There is a new study about women and how they feel about their asses; the results were pretty interesting:
30% of women think their ass is too fat...
10% of women think their ass is too skinny...
The remaining 60% say they don't care, they love him, he's a good man and they wouldn't trade him for the world.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is India . It is where
you call when you have a
technical problem with
your computer.

Grandma found my vibrator!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mindless game for those of you who are stuck in your basements this weekend:
Bubble Master!
Have a great weekend! I will be planting over 400 plants, so I hope the weather holds up.

Supporting Out Troops!
They didn't want to, but with Iggy in hiding and Ruby in trouble, they actually had to cover the PM because he was non-controversial, and supporting our troops is always a good thing.
Watch PM Harper's speech and then make sure you watch the Liberal ex-military expert, Drapeau, funny how they call him Trudeau.
So, CTV thinks Drapeau means Trudeau, I remember Trudeau killing our military. I remember rows and rows of tanks parked on the military base, sitting and rusting while our military was called every name you can imagine. I remember a girl in grade five being shunned because her Dad was in the military, and townies didn't mix with army brats. Thank goodness the families banded together and welcomed them into our community. She is now a Doctor helping people in disadvantaged countries. What snobs we were. Townies thought they were better than our troops. We were (and I suspect still are) snobs. Trudeau made us embarrassed to support our troops, Liberals looked down their noses at the very people who keep our country safe.
Funny how Ruby has disappeared from the main news page, as has Iggy. Here is a snapshot of CTV news on line.
Quiet, apparently nothing is happening in the Liberal party, we are being told by the MSM to ignore anything bad about Liberals, the most disgusting example is an article by Don Martin in the National Post.
Smell all you want Don, but my smell test detects a pig at the Liberal trough.
Our troops deserve respect, and they are smart enough to realize that PM Harper is the real deal, he has made the military a priority, and when you drive around your town, pay attention to all the cars with "support our troops" decals on their bumpers. It's fashionable now to show your support for our troops.
Great job PM Harper, our troops need support, and they can smell out phony people in an instant. While Iggy is hiding, our PM is meeting with the EU to get a trade agreement and supporting our troops, not because it is fashionable, but because he truly believes our troops are heroes.

Let Freedom Ring!
“When we let freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, "Free at last! free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!" Martin Luther King Jr.
Wonderful words that the world has failed to listen to. We can not look back, only forward, and make sure that we do not make the same mistakes our forefathers made, but remember the times they lived in, and realize the times before us and our children are different. The times are different, but life lessons can not be ignored. We shudder now at the thought of slaves, and how they were treated as sub-human beings, and we think we are better than that, because we have fallen into the progressive trap. Progressives are all about freedom for those who think like them, dare to disagree, and you get swarmed by the progressives from hell. They have no morals and hate those who do.
They think swinger's clubs, abortion and marijuana are what freedom is all about. They want us all to think the same way, and get ticked off when we refuse to agree with their way of life. We become targets because they are loud and obnoxious and they lie. They lie about global warming, while they fly to Bali in polar bear suits, so they can be seen to do something. They do nothing. They plant no trees. Yet they are powerful because they prey on our guilt.
Not happening here, I am way greener than Suzuki could ever hope to be, but I am not tooting my own horn like he does, and I am not lying to gain money from people. That is what disgusts me, they take money from the most vulnerable, and line their own pockets. Gore went from 2 million to 100 million, something stinks to high heaven.
What started this rant? Ruby Dhalla. She gave up her shadow minister position today. Who cares, it was a shadow position, it wasn't real. No biggy off her nose. What we need to concentrate on is that she allegedly kept slaves, and thought is was her right to do so. Let the courts decide, but it doesn't look good for Dhalla.

In The Wild West.....
they would have just pulled those teeth, without any pain killers. Pass me the whiskey!
I didn't blog yesterday because I was on an adventure! I flew from Edmonton to Vancouver to Kelowna, for $99 round trip,(not including taxes). Tuesday I spent all morning in the dentists chair getting 7 teeth temporarily capped and one filled. I spend the afternoon trying to talk and get the feeling back into my nose! My sister took me to lunch, HA!!! even with a straw I couldn't drink without drooling down my shirt. This is one adventure I do not want to repeat!! Now when I tell my boys to brush their teeth, they do it!
I must admit even my temporary teeth look great, now that the freezing is gone and I can actually lift my lips enough to see them without drooling. Did I mention that dentists aren't on my top ten list?
Anyways, BC weather is even worse than Alberta weather, in the 2 hours I was in Vancouver it went from cold, to cold and rainy, to five minutes of sun, and then back to rain. I flew Air Canada, and the flights both to and from Edmonton to Vancouver were less than half full, I had three seats all to myself both times! No wonder Air Canada is losing money, the ticket prices paid, would not have even come close to covering the fuel, and personnel needed for the flight. Three flight attendants to hand out one pack of peanut free treats and a drink, just seems to be a huge waste.
I get to repeat the process in two weeks to get my permanent caps, lucky me!
In the wild west,
I would have been a toothless old hag with my well worn gums chew with, so maybe technology isn't so bad. Now I am off to check on the latest scandals to see if I missed anything juicy.

Newman Versus Duffy!
It appears Newman is retiring from CBC. Bet he couldn't resist that healthy buyout package and hefty taxpayer pension. Can't say I blame him, I probably would have cut and run too. What is interesting is the reaction to his retiring as opposed to Mike Duffy's retirement from CTV. Sure, Duffy retired to become a Senator, and Newman is only retiring without any prospect of becoming a Senator, but it's interesting to see how the lefties perceive both retirements.
Duffy retires and becomes a Senator:
Newman retires:
I suspect that the lefties don't even see their bias. They think Newman good, Duffy bad. Since Duffy has been gone, I have watched Power Play once or twice, it is a poor imitation of Mike Duffy Live, and now Politics will lose Newman, both shows will continue to tank no matter who hosts. Why? They look at 37% Conservative voters and 63% lefty voters and think they will win by slagging Conservatives. Not so.
Most voters are middle of the road voters, not Conservative or Liberal, they are not the ones watching these political shows, so they will make their minds up at election time.
What even my Liberal voting parents have noticed is that the media is biased, and they don't like it, they prefer to make up their own minds about who to vote for, not be told who they should vote for.
Duffy retires and becomes a Senator:
Elaine Paliwoda from Canada writes: I am sickened.
Mike Duffy should not have been on the air, pedalling partisan Conservative half truths, pushing character assassination of Mr. Dion, pushing Harper's talking points and misinforming Canadians. Mr. Duffy has been brutally undemocratic and unfair to Canadians, for his own self-interest.
Such partisan assassination such as that attempted by Mr. Duffy should not have been tolerated from people like him, who falsely claim they are a "news source". It's a very sad day for Canada when so-called "news" people who do not properly report truthful information, are in turn rewarded with a lifetime supply of dough, as though pre-arranged. And since everyone has been predicting this on blogs for years, it's pretty clear the fix was in, by Harper & Conservative TV (CTV) against Canadian's trust.
The demagogue has rewarded his jester with a lifetime of jewels. Some do it for 72 virgins, some accept their sheiks' oil money. In Harper-Canada, he sticks it to the taxpayer to make his propaganda artists comfy for life.
Newman retires:
Jean-Pierre Arenes from St-Mathias, Canada writes: Thank-you Don and good Luck.
You have provided me and countless of CBC viewers an unbiased insight in Canadian politics. Quite an accomplishment !
.... Herm Acat from Gravenhurst, Ont., Canada writes: I'll be sorry to see Don retire. He had the useful journalistic ability to come across as a nice guy while asking politicians relevant, tough questions, without seeming antagonistic.
Thankfully, Don's not following Mike Duffy's sleazy exit into the cushy Senate trough. (Did anyone else notice the softball nature of Duffy's questions to Tories prior to his being named to the Senate, a position he'd been actively lobbying for?)
.... Ronnieblue Acacia from Edmonton, Canada writes: What can I say that other commentators haven't already said. I often come home during the noon hour when Don hosted the program during Question Period. He asked tough questions and very insightful on what he was talking about. He didn't let his guests off easily and always ensured they stay on topic to the questions he was asking. He will be truly missed, and along with the recent retirement of Henry Champ, leaves a gaping hole in the political scene.
Unlike the pompous Mike Duffy, who was full of himself and much more style than substance ( and now we have to put up with him in the Senate), I wish Mr. Newman the very best in his retirement and whatever projects he may wish to take on next.
I suspect that the lefties don't even see their bias. They think Newman good, Duffy bad. Since Duffy has been gone, I have watched Power Play once or twice, it is a poor imitation of Mike Duffy Live, and now Politics will lose Newman, both shows will continue to tank no matter who hosts.

Gore Or Carlin, Who Do You Believe?
The day was way to beautiful to be inside worrying about politics, so I want to continue that feeling with some lighthearted commentary on global warming or the lack there of.
Al Gore talks about green jobs and how they are in everyone's communities these days, and they are high paying (for him)!
Green jobs! Who knew that the illegal Mexican immigrants were on to something all those years ago when they crawled over the border to become janitors, gardeners, and fruit and vegetable pickers? Those are all green jobs, the only problem is that they are not all that high paying.
George Carlin has something to say about global warming, (language warning)!
Global warming is a huge lefty scam to take money from the poor and give it to the rich, like Al Gore. In Canada, the Liberals just voted to keep all their options open, like a carbon tax AND cap and trade! Can we just get back to fighting REAL pollution?
The thing that strikes me most, is that the so called environmentalists protest in places like Bali (who pays for that trip?), and I bet not a single one of them has ever been in a field picking vegetables so they can feed their families.

Friday Funnies: Golf??

INSTALLING A HUSBAND
Dear Tech Support,
Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a distinct slow down in overall system performance, particularly in the flower and jewellery applications, which operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0.
In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programs, such as
· Romance 9.5 and
· Personal Attention 6.5, and then installed undesirable programs such as
· NBA 5.0,
· NFL 3.0 and
· Golf Clubs 4.1.
Conversation 8.0 no longer runs, and Housecleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system.
· Please note that I have tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail.
What can I do?
Signed,
Desperate.
DEAR DESPERATE,
First, keep in mind,
· Boyfriend 5.0 is an Entertainment Package, while
· Husband 1.0 is an operating system.
Please enter command: ithoughtyoulovedme.html and try to download Tears 6.2 and do not forget to install the Guilt 3.0 update.
· If that application works as designed, Husband 1.0 should then automatically run the applications Jewelry 2.0 andFlowers 3.5.
However, remember, overuse of the above application can cause Husband 1.0 to default to Grumpy Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7.0 or Beer 6.1.
· Please note that Beer 6. 1 is a very bad program that will download the Farting and Snoring Loudly Beta.
Whatever you do, DO NOT under any circumstances install Mother-In-Law 1.0 (it runs a virus in the background that will eventually seize control of all your system resources.)
In addition, please do not attempt to reinstall the Boyfriend 5.0 program. These are unsupported applications and will crash Husband 1.0.
In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly. You might consider buying additional software to improve memory and performance. We recommend
· Cooking 3.0 and
· Hot Lingerie 7.7.
Good Luck Babe!

BBQ RULES We are about to enter the BBQ season. Therefore it is important to refresh your memory on the etiquette of this sublime outdoor cooking activity . When a man volunteers to do the BBQ the following chain of events are put into motion:
Routine....
(1) The woman buys the food.
(2) The woman makes the salad, prepares the vegetables, and makes dessert .
(3) The woman prepares the meat for cooking, places it on a tray along with the necessary cooking utensils and sauces, and takes it to the man who is lounging beside the grill - beer in hand.
(4) The woman remains outside the compulsory three meter exclusion zone where the exuberance of testosterone and other manly bonding activities can take place without the interference of the woman.
Here comes the important part:
(5) THE MAN PLACES THE MEAT ON THE GRILL.
More routine...
(6) The woman goes inside to organise the plates and cutlery.
(7) The woman comes out to tell the man that the meat is looking great. He thanks her and asks if she will bring another beer while he flips the meat
Important again:
(8) THE MAN TAKES THE MEAT OFF THE GRILL AND HANDS IT TO THE WOMAN.
More routine...
(9) The woman prepares the plates, salad, bread, utensils, napkins, sauces, and brings them to the table.
(10) After eating, the woman clears the table and does the dishes.
And most important of all:
(11) Everyone PRAISES the MAN and THANKS HIM for his cooking efforts.
(12) The man asks the woman how she enjoyed ' her night off ', and, upon seeing her annoyed reaction, concludes that there's just no pleasing some women.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
I'm just passing this thought along ....
Have you ever wondered if the five dollar bills in your wallet were ever in a strippers's butt crack?
If not, you're wondering now.
Have a nice day . :)

A Cry In The Dark Has Been Answered!
I talked recently to a person who left Afghanistan with her family when she was 6, this summer she hopes to go back to visit her Grandmother. She is very excited about going to see what changes have occurred, but is worried about the Taliban. I asked her if she had ever considered being a translator for our troops, she said no way, it was too dangerous. Her family moved to Canada to live a peaceful life, and have become Canadian citizens.
We need to help other Afghan families who just want a good life for their children. It appears we are about to get some TRUE refugees.
Canada to welcome hundreds of Afghan employees
I wholeheartedly agree with this initiative! The Afghans that have been working with our troops deserve a better life, and if Canadian citizenship is what they want and need, let's give it to them. They have been risking their lives to help our soldiers, and if we can save one or two of them and make their family lives better, let's do it.
They denied??? Who accused them of straining federal resources? If you read the article, it wasn't the NDP, so who does that leave? Funny how that little fact isn't stated in this article. How about the thousands of Tamil Tiger supporters the Liberals let into our country? No one questioned that at the time, as a matter of fact, ex-PM Martin and other Liberal MP's were seen at various Tamil functions and they refused to declare the Tamil Tigers as terrorists. These Afghans are actually real refugees, not the bogus, get a visa, and overstay your welcome cue jumpers, like the Lebanese pretend citizens.
Kenney is a real breath of fresh air. Common sense is back in politics and I like it. Go Kenney Go!

Canada to welcome hundreds of Afghan employees
OTTAWA -- Canada is set to open its doors to hundreds of Afghans who face life-threatening risks after having worked with our military and diplomats, The Canadian Press has learned.
Immigration Minister Jason Kenney says he's putting the final touches on a policy to provide safe haven to Afghans endangered by their association with Canada.
Unlike other NATO countries, Canada has no policy on humanitarian immigration for local staff -- but that's about to change.
Afghans who have been severely injured working with the Canadian military, or who can prove they face threats, will be eligible for fast-track entry.
The first of those ex-employees and their immediate relatives could arrive within months.
The policy goes much further than the one initially considered by the Harper government, which last year said it would examine possible ways to bring over severely injured interpreters only.
The new program will be open to anyone with 12 months' service to the Canadian mission, medical and security checks, and a recommendation letter from a senior soldier or diplomat.
I wholeheartedly agree with this initiative! The Afghans that have been working with our troops deserve a better life, and if Canadian citizenship is what they want and need, let's give it to them. They have been risking their lives to help our soldiers, and if we can save one or two of them and make their family lives better, let's do it.
They denied the Afghans would strain federal resources, saying they represent a tiny fraction of the tens of thousands of refugee claimants Canada receives annually. And unlike many others who come here, they noted, the Afghan workers are all fluent in at least one of Canada's official languages.

And Many Many MORE!!!
Happy Birthday Prime Minister Harper, 50 is a wonderful age, mature enough to handle anything, but still young enough to enjoy life and everything it has to offer!
Here are some of my favorite pictures of the Prime Minister.
This one was taken by Dr. Roy:
Remember back when the kids were still tiny and the media was ragging on about how Ben didn't hug his Dad in this one? It's still one of my favorites.
Then we have one that shows the laughter in PM Harper's eyes, so much for the petty media and their "cold blue eyes" garbage.
And finally my personal favorite, Rigger and PM Harper, who knew he loves dogs too!
I have thought about my meeting with PM Harper, and I am even more impressed with him now then I was before. He was very easy to talk to, I expected to be nervous but he put me as ease immediately. He looks directly at you and listens, then he asks pertinent questions. There is nothing elitist or arrogant about him. I actually felt a real connection to him, I can picture him happily sitting at home watching a hockey game or playing with his kids.
After I showed some people at work the picture of Rigger with the PM, one lady piped up and said she really liked him because he is a great father. That is what appeals to us ladies, a real down to earth family man who cares deeply about his family and his country.
So, Mr. Prime Minister, enjoy this special day with family and friends. The media is trying to make it political, but it's not. The leader of our great country deserves to celebrate his birthday however he wants to, and if the media is in a snit (again) because it doesn't include them, TOO BAD!
In 10 years, I want to see 60 pink flamingos on the lawn of 24 Sussex celebrating PM Harper's 60th birthday!

100 Days, 236 Scandals!
While lefties praise Obama after 100 days, some people have been keeping tabs of what Obama has really been up to... 236 scandals and counting!
This is an excellent site that has documented all the Obama scandals with video and links. Start at scandal #1 and work your way to scandal #236.
#222 Napolitano - Canadian Terrorist Entry Lie - 4/24/9 Second, KOA Radio’s Gunny Bob reports Team Obama’s Janet “Napolitano claimed that some of the 9-11 terrorists entered the US via Canada. This is an outright lie. As the 9-11 Commission reported, all of the 9-11 terrorists entered the US from abroad. She then stated that no terrorists have entered the US via Mexico, which is patently false according to the Director of the FBI in testimony before the Congress.” UPDATE 4/24/9 “I knew the minute it came out of my mouth it was wrong,” she said. Republicans now are calling for her resignation.
#200 Fascist Obama Tells Local Cops to Watch out for Right Wing Extremists! - 4/13/9 Homeland Security says cops should watch for right wing extremism which the Washington Post says “may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single-issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration.” Obama’s Homeland Security Chieftess Janet Napolitano sent a 9-page report to cops around the nation to warn them about conservative Americans! If you are a pro-lifer, cops are supposed to watch out for YOU! Michelle Malkin has the document for you, just click here. This report is off the freaking deep end! UPDATE 4/16/9 ABCDEmocrat News says the report was issued “despite civil liberties concerns…n the report, right-wing extremism was defined as hate-motivated groups and movements, such as hatred of certain religions, racial or ethnic groups. “It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration,” the report said. “If there’s one part of that report I would rewrite, in the word-smithing, Washington-ese that goes on after the fact, it would be that footnote,” Napolitano said Thursday on Fox News.”
#234 Obama Official Causes Evacuations in New York!- 4/27/9 The Politco: “Moving to fend off outrage from New York officials, the White House military director apologized for flying Air Force One and an accompanying fighter jet low near Ground Zero as part of a photo shoot Monday. President Barack Obama was not aboard when the huge 747 Air Force jet buzzed across Lower Manhattan, prompting evacuations, 911 calls and frightful memories of the Sept. 11 attacks in 2001. New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said he had not been informed of the flight and was “furious” over the incident.” UPDATE 4/29/9 Fox reports the “Stupid New York Flyover” cost $328,835! Team Obama blowing money during a recession so it has cool pictures to share. Obscene. That doesn’t even count the cost of the evacuations and panic the blunder caused. UPDATE 4/29/9 In a memo obtained by wcbstv.com-CBS 2 HD, the Federal Aviation Administration’s James Johnston said the agency was aware of “the possibility of public concern regarding DOD (Department of Defense) aircraft flying at low altitudes” in an around New York City. But they demanded total secrecy from the NYPD, the Secret Service, the FBI and even the mayor’s office and threatened federal sanctions if the secret got out.
Go to the site and read more about Obama and the Democrat scandals.
Be aware that we can not ignore what Obama is doing, it will have severe impacts on our own economy. Obama and Iggy are two peas in a pod when it comes to the economy, they both have no clue!
John Ivison: Canada starts to feel the bite of new U.S. protectionism
When Barack Obama came to Ottawa in February, Canadians lowered their defences and surrendered, seduced by the new President’s promises that the United States would stand by its international trade obligations and resist protectionism.
It was an object lesson in why politicians should be judged on results, not their intentions. The reality is that Canada and the United States are engaging in skirmishes that threaten to erupt into an all-out trade war.
Canada better brace itself, because Democrats are protectionists and Canada is in their scopes. All you lefties who support Obama better take another look at the policies coming down the pipeline because Obama is no more your friend than radical Islam supports gay people. The Democrats will do what they did when the Liberals were in power, slap tariffs on our products like lumber, and then take us to court because we are somehow the bad guys. The Liberals couldn't fight it because their supporters at the time were big business. Our only hope is the fact that the Conservatives are in power, and big business does not own them like they own the Liberals, case in point the MSM.
I want Albertans to remember that the oil sands are actually Alberta's sands, we can sell to who we want if the US imposes tariffs on our oil. Saskatchewan is at risk as well. Oil and fresh water, our big hammers against protectionism.
Wake up Canada, the Democrats are bad news for Canada. Don't take my word for it, read the 236 scandals, see what you think.

Turn Off The Taps!
Dirty oil from the Canadian Sands are under attack by the Obama administration. This will backfire badly on the Americans, who get 20% of their oil from us. This is not an Alberta problem, Canadians have been living the high life because Alberta, now Saskatchewan and Newfoundland are doing so good. Quebec gets 8 billion from the have provinces and that is about to stop because the have provinces like Ontario are now have nots. Didn't Quebec post a surplus? Then they do not need any equalization payments.
U.S. carbon bill could put squeeze on oil sands
This could be bad for Alberta and all of Canada. Funny how the environmentalists fail to mention "blood" oil from the Mideast, and given that Obama bowed to the Saudi King, we know how he feels. What can Alberta do? Glad you asked!
CN idea a winner for oil sands
Now that's what I call a great idea! If the Americans put up trade barriers, we can stop the flow using their own policies against them, and if Obama doesn't think losing 20% of their energy supplies isn't going to hurt, the guy is dreaming.
Notice how Minister Day was in China lately, could oil be something the Chinese need? How about India? Both countries would love a secure supply of "dirty" oil and if the US doesn't want it, so be it. Enjoy your $10 a gallon gas. If the US breaks the terms of NAFTA, it frees Canada from supplying oil to the US.
The Democrats are dumb enough to think they can slap a tariff/carbon tax on our oil like they did with softwood lumber, in the guise of a cap and trade tax. It's time to turn off the tap for a few days, and see what happens. It's also time for Quebec to be forced to buy Canadian oil, no more "blood" oil for Quebec, not when they get $8 billion from Alberta a year.
Turn off the taps, just for a few days, see what happens!
U.S. carbon bill could put squeeze on oil sands
The U.S. climate change bill, which is currently being debated in the House energy and commerce committee, includes a measure modelled on low carbon fuel rules just approved in California. It would set a baseline standard for the amount of carbon produced during production of transportation fuel throughout its life cycle.
Under the draft bill, refineries would be required to reduce annual life cycle emissions from their fuel to 2005 levels between 2014 and 2022, and then cut them by at least another five per cent between 2023 and 2030.
In effect, the rules would force U.S. refiners to measure carbon intensity of a fuel from ‘wells to wheels.' Because the life cycle emissions from oil sands crude is up to 30% higher than in conventional oil, Canadian officials are worried the country's energy industry would be devastated by a national low carbon fuel standard in the U.S.
Canada's concerns about the U.S. climate bill follows "the same logic" as objections Ottawa raised last week in a failed bid to derail the California measures, Mr. Prentice said following two days of meetings in Washington.
This could be bad for Alberta and all of Canada. Funny how the environmentalists fail to mention "blood" oil from the Mideast, and given that Obama bowed to the Saudi King, we know how he feels. What can Alberta do? Glad you asked!
CN idea a winner for oil sands
The energy and geopolitical ramifications of Canadian National Railway's "Pipeline on Rails" initiative is a game-changer for Canada. As I revealed in Thursday's Financial Post, the railway has developed a transformative strategy to move oil sands production more quickly and cheaply to markets in North America or Asia.
This project, in its early stages, will eliminate three barriers to the development of Canada's vast oil sands: the cost, delays and financial risks involved in building multi-billion-dollar pipelines; the politics of obstruction south of the border from environmentalists and the danger of selling oil to monopoly buyers in the United States which has, in the past, resulted in contracts being ripped up when times were tough.
It also allows Canada to decouple from the American economy when it comes to its most important commodity, which is oil products. This is because all the oil sands production can be routed to the west coast for shipment to Asia or anywhere, thus avoiding monopoly pricing and bullying by the Americans.
Now that's what I call a great idea! If the Americans put up trade barriers, we can stop the flow using their own policies against them, and if Obama doesn't think losing 20% of their energy supplies isn't going to hurt, the guy is dreaming.

Feeling Disconnected?
I know I am. I post daily, and visit the Blogging Tories daily, I enjoy all of the blogs, and feel like we are a community, where Conservatives can finally get our points across. I want to thank Stephen and Craig for keeping this community running. The Blogging Tories are not the problem, in fact, I think they are the solution for Conservatives who want a place to call home.
My problem is with the Conservative party, it needs a good spring cleaning. If we built up a party from the grassroots, the dandelions are now infesting the lawn. The party is pretty much useless from my point of view, and needs a swift kick in the butt.
As my profile states, I got off my duff and got involved with the party because I was so sick of the Liberals stealing from my family, and getting away with it. So, we won, a minority, but we won! We were now the government! Exciting stuff.
What I have noticed is that the CPC thinks it needs to tiptoe around and not offend anyone by showing their actual support of Conservative ideas. You are the Conservative Party of Canada, shout it out! I understand that with a minority government, some tiptoeing is needed, but can we have some backbone here? The Conservative party is now PM Harper, not because he wants that, but because he is getting no support from the party itself.
What is the party doing to advance Conservative issues? Heck, what is the party doing to highlight PM Harper and the Minister's? You decide....
I watch question period and other sources, if something interesting happens, I create a Youtube video and it is posted that night.
Visit the CPC site and this is what you get for video. The only video I could find was an announcement on arenas. Check out the Laureen Harper section. Lovely picture, and nice bio, but where's the information about what she is doing? I don't think that page has been updated since 2004!
If a lowly blogger can get more video posted in support of the Conservatives then the party itself can, a disconnect has occurred. Why can't the "war room" post some video? What the heck are they doing at headquarters? Check out the Minister's profiles, boring, boring, boring! No life, no personal touch, no comments from the Minister's, the whole site sucks.
WHERE ARE THE VIDEOS? If the media is so lefty, why isn't the Conservative party countering that with some videos of their own? All I hear from the party lately is requests for donations.
It's like the CPC is walking on egg shells afraid to offend anyone encase the voters realize that they actually elected the Conservatives. It's like just because the Conservatives are in power, the Conservative party can't broadcast any good things that are being done. Even Sandy from Crux-of-the-Matter has given up on the list of the Conservative parties achievements. Why isn't the CPC doing it? What are they doing?
Just because the Conservatives are "in" government doesn't mean that the CPC has to hide. Get some video up, update Laureen's page so we see what she is doing. Get moving, because just phoning me up and asking for more money is not cutting it anymore. This is from a staunch Conservative supporter, think about the sometimes voters, nothing at this site would make me want to vote Conservative!
Feeling disconnected? Me too!

Ever Heard Of Bear Flu?
Seal flu? Penguin flu? I haven't either, maybe it's because they are not in our main diet! Swine flu? Bird flu? Human flu? How about the bird/swine/human flu? Coming to your corner of the world, whether you want it or not. I hope it fades away as spring cleans out the cobwebs of winter.
Maybe a change of diet is required. Seal & Mushroom Pastries? Seal steaks and frogs legs served over a platter of seaweed and puffin eggs anyone? Remember mad cow, and how quickly the US slammed the border shut on Canadian beef? Might they have a little pork problem happening?
U.S. Pork Industry Assures Customers Product is Safe
I have the solution! If we are scared to eat pork, beef and chicken, maybe it's time for us to try eating seal! It seems to work for the Inuit, and we wouldn't have to put up with any more protests from greenpeace.
Anti-sealing case evidence being withheld, crusader says
OH. MY. GOD.
Black clad Mounties banishing submachine guns? Crew members were FORCED TO LAY DOWN on the deck, while some were HANDCUFFED? Can CTV get anymore dramatic? They make the RCMP into the bad guys while the poor ecoterrorists are the innocent victims.
Artificially enhanced beef, pork and poultry? The very meats that cause the flu? Any correlation here? Okay, where's my boat....oh right, Alberta is landlocked! Would seals survive in a salt free Alberta lake? Just asking. Maybe Newfoundland will send us some seal meat if we send them some buffalo meat in exchange.
I know this flu outbreak might be very serious, I hope it isn't and that no-one else dies from it. My point is that maybe we should stop condemning our seal hunters and understand that seals are a source of food and income for many people, just like our domestic cow/pig/chicken producers.
Don't anyone mention dog, cat or horse meat, that's just not on the menu! Moose jerky anyone?

U.S. Pork Industry Assures Customers Product is Safe
BOSTON — U.S. pork producers, responding to a swine flu outbreak that has escalated into a public health emergency, said Sunday their product is safe and that consumers cannot catch the virus by eating properly cooked food.
I have the solution! If we are scared to eat pork, beef and chicken, maybe it's time for us to try eating seal! It seems to work for the Inuit, and we wouldn't have to put up with any more protests from greenpeace.
Anti-sealing case evidence being withheld, crusader says
The seizure of Mowat followed tense confrontations on the ice floes between its 17 crew members and the coast guard.
The coast guard said the icebreaker Des Groseilliers was "grazed" twice by the Farley Mowat about 60 kilometres north of Cape Breton as the protest ship closed in on some seal hunters.
But Watson dismissed the charge, saying its much smaller ship was struck twice by the 98-metre icebreaker.
Weeks later, black-clad Mounties brandishing submachine-guns boarded the Mowat and arrested all crew members, who said they were forced to lay down on the deck of the ship while some were handcuffed.
OH. MY. GOD.
Black clad Mounties banishing submachine guns? Crew members were FORCED TO LAY DOWN on the deck, while some were HANDCUFFED? Can CTV get anymore dramatic? They make the RCMP into the bad guys while the poor ecoterrorists are the innocent victims.
The nutritional value of seal meat make it an ideal meal for today’s health conscious consumer, a fact not lost with those who have traditionally consumed seal meat as a regular dietary item. Seal meat is very low in fat and a very good source of many essential dietary nutrients including; protein, calcium, iron, magnesium, and vitamin B12. It is a very healthy choice of red meat, given the fact that it is raised in the wild and not artificially enhanced and force-grown as with many of our beef, pork and poultry products currently available.
Artificially enhanced beef, pork and poultry? The very meats that cause the flu? Any correlation here? Okay, where's my boat....oh right, Alberta is landlocked! Would seals survive in a salt free Alberta lake? Just asking. Maybe Newfoundland will send us some seal meat if we send them some buffalo meat in exchange.

The All Important Female Vote!
I never knew my vote was more important than my husbands, but according to recent polls, it appears that it is, go figure! Last federal election both the Liberals and NDP had female quotas. The NDP in BC think that not only do women need special treatment but special interest groups do as well. Where will it end? Are they saying that women are weak, disadvantaged and different than men? Or are they saying that we are in need of special consideration? Whatever it is they are trying to accomplish, so far, it's done nothing but insult females.
I would not want special accommodations made for me because I am a female. Taking away a person's ability to compete in a fair fight, is like cheating on an exam, you get something you didn't deserve. It takes away your self esteem.
If females are so important as voters, the way to win their votes is not necessarily by appointing more female candidates, that's actually counter productive, it elevates females above males just because they are female. We are always hearing about how urban females never vote Conservative, yet they often fail to mention that rural females tend to vote Conservative. So, not only are female voters important, but they even break it down into urban and rural female voters. Polling firms will inform their clients that they need to cater to the urban female voters because there are more of them. Wow, now as a female urban voter my vote is worth even more! Who knew!
Hold it, I also belong to a union, yikes, I'm a really, really valuable voter now. Funny how they write off the western votes because we have so few seats, but think the Liberals are surging in Quebec with 25% of the potential vote, so what ridings might those be in and will it translate into actual new MP's?
As Joanne at Blue Like You asks, did the Liberals goof with Iggy?
He sure doesn't appeal to me, and as I am told by the MSM and my trolls, as a female, I am too dumb to understand the issues, I will just mindlessly vote for a female, because, well, I'm a female, urban, union voter.
Rural women vote Conservative because they understand what it means to be independent. I would love to see some of those feminists who scream for daycare live on a farm for just one week. Try getting up at 6 in the morning in 30 below weather to milk the cows and slop the pigs, because the animals are your livelihood. Throw in Suzuki and things could get really interesting down on the farm.
The all important female vote, worth more because.... well, we are told it is so!
