Dear Mayor Miller...

...help me out here... how does taking varmint rifles from my rural farming neighbours... do absolutely anything to the bodycount in the center of the universe?

-- TORONTO -- A violent morning in the city has left one man dead and five people wounded from gunfire. The bullets started flying around 3:20 a.m. on the street around 1001 Bay St., just north of Wellesely St. and a block from Queen's Park, according to Toronto Police.

The man, whose name was not immediately released, is the city's 53rd murder victim of the year.

About 15 minutes later, gunfire erupted at a banquet hall in the city's east end. Officers responded to the Atlantic Party Hall, on Ellesmere Rd., just east of Midland Ave., and found four people suffering from an assortment of injuries, police said. A fifth victim walked into a hospital later.

One man suffered a life-threatening gunshot wound and is now fighting for his life, police said.

A white stretch limousine, a white Hummer style limousine, and a black 2005 or 2006 Infinity SUV were also seen fleeing the scene and could be possible suspects in the shooting.

Stephane, cher... where's my jockstrap?

Looks like Janine Krieber got tired of being a "good little girl."

Now, if the Liberals ever decide to hold an actual leadership election... instead of, you know... another glitzy coronation... they could do worse than a shoot-from-the-hip, hard-charger like Ms. Krieber.

Of course, all that depends on whether Professor Milquetoast is willing to back the straight-up-the-middle-play... which, of course, in this particular instance, as with so many others... he wasn't.

Sources say Mr. Dion, a Montreal MP, was not involved in producing the note and that people in his camp persuaded Ms. Krieber to delete the message earlier Saturday.

And what heinous words did Mrs Steffi dare impart to the Facebook masses? Something you're not gonna hear any of the backroom boys say out loud...

“The party base understood in 2006 and Canadian citizens are understanding now. Ignatieff's supporters didn't do their homework. They didn't read his books. They contented themselves with his ability to navigate the cocktail circuit.”

“Some of them are enraged today. I hear: 'Why didn't anyone tell us about him?'"

"We told you, loud and clear. You didn't listen.”

Hey, Michael... you think they're still holdin' that slot for you at Hah-vuhd?

You might wanna check on that.

Hoggan did a second survey of a group of about 1,000 people it termed “thought leaders,” or top members of business, universities, government and the media, and found that for these people, the environment was the most important issue, followed by the economy.

The tracking of elite opinion was done because it often foreshadows views that eventually spread to the general public.

Of course, screw random sampling... AND actual journalism... let's just hear from "our betters".

Way to go, Globe and Mail.

My appearance Thursday morning was, to my knowledge, just about the only time that The Current has ever invited a climate change skeptic.

For this I was grateful, even if I wasn’t the headliner on the show that morning: That honour went to James Hoggan, the owner of a public relations firm who was promoting Climate Coverup, his book attacking global warming skeptics.

It is the most astonishing thing, but the Ontario government is bitterly defending a lawsuit in which key police witnesses admit most of the allegations, chiefly that the OPP stood by and did virtually nothing as a Caledonia, Ont., family was terrorized during a native occupation that began almost four years ago.

WRONG, WRONG, WRONG

Lemme make this as simple as I possibly can... "Never let the muzzle cover anything you're not willing to destroy."

If you back your car outta your driveway without verifying that there is no one behind you... and you kill someone... that's simply not excuseable.

Similarly, if you pull a trigger, without verifying your target AND backstop... and that round kills an innocent bystander... that's manslaughter.

A closer look at the documents shows that on behalf of the warriors who seized control of the land in 2006, the ORC has paid in the past three years $152,869 in municipal property taxes, $1,533.14 for no trespassing signs and $7,802.27 in property management costs. There is also an invoice to pay $103,044 to a construction company to "install fencing."

The Government of Ontario website says that since the beginning of this problem, the taxpayers have so far paid out $64.3 million in expenditures.

Un-freakin-believable.

Hmmm... maybe they should have polled some "thought leaders".
