Because, you can never have too many unemployable, non-English speaking people wandering the snowy streets...

The Liberal government plans to process as many as 900 Syrian refugees a day - starting Dec. 1 - a shocking new report reveals.

Health Minister Jane Philpott and Immigration Minister John McCallum will update Canadians on their plan to resettle 25,000 Syrian refugees by year's end, as the military prepares to temporarily house hundreds of refugees in bases in Quebec and Ontario.

LAST WORD: It's the darndest coincidence...

I've been following this story because, despite being arrested on Parliament Hill with a weapon, the police and media were STRANGELY RELUCTANT to release this person's identity.

Well, looky here...

A lawyer for Yasin Ali asked for the assessment in court Wednesday after the 56-year-old appeared by video from the courthouse cellblock on a charge of carrying a concealed cleaver into Parliament.

RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson told reporters that Ali is known to authorities, but “not in the sort of counter-terrorism context.”

In fact, Paulson does not believe that the man’s actions were politically motivated or an act of terror.

Yeah, ol' Yasin was probably just a little cranky because the Liberals are talking about cancelling income splitting.

Ali’s court appearance Wednesday was slightly delayed after it became apparent he might need the assistance of an interpreter as he speaks Somali Arabic.

It is NOT KNOWN why he was in Ottawa or on Parliament Hill.

Yup... it's a freakin' mystery.

And, there's this...

Call me wacky... but if your mentally-ill son likes to dress up and play Soldiers & Jihadis... maybe you should try keeping a much closer watch on him...

Maybe Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan misheard the Prime Minister promising a "robust" response.

I'm guessing Justin actually said he was thinking of sending "robots." That way, nobody gets hurt... right?

In any case, it sounds as though Chapuis has Trudeau's number...

"We'll see when the decisions are taken, we'll see if it needs further consultation."

I'll bet we will.

The arrests come after an ISIS terrorist bragged about how easy it was to smuggle thousands of covert jihadists into Europe under the guise of being a desperate refugee.

The Syrian operative claimed more than 4,000 covert ISIS gunmen had made it into western nations, hidden among innocent refugees.

What about the jihadis who are already here?

Despite CTV's vapid cheerleading...

...playing soccer, or tweeting about playing soccer, does not, in any way, shape or form... fight terrorism...

"LONDON -- Uniting in a symbol of defiance and respect, fans and players of the French and English soccer teams delivered a moving display of solidarity at Wembley Stadium... social media was awash with praise for the dignified way a sensitive occasion was handled."

And indeed it was...

"It's the only way that we can win," said one obviously drunk millennial via CBC Radio.

Turning to symbols and wishful thinking is becoming increasingly popular here in Canada, now that Justin Trudeau has ruled out using Canadian airpower or any other military assets here, in Syria.

Yessirree, it's a big ol' Care Bear world... even though CTV notes these millionaire sports heroes are actually "playing in defiance" of the terrorists, whatever that means.

Out here in Hastings county, a local paving outfit recently painted one of their cement trucks pink for the stated purpose of fighting breast cancer.

Of course, messaging (never mind practising medicine) via cement truck makes about as much sense as flooding cities with thousands of naked men in chaps and feather boas every year to make people feel less uneasy about militant homosexuality... "Yeah, yeah, Freddie... you're here, you're queer... now for the love of gawd and my 8 year-old niece in from Sudbury, please, please put your freakin' capri pants back on!!!"

You know who's actually doing a stellar job of broadcasting their philosophy and religious idealogy out into the public domain?

ISIS, that's who. The terrorist group's messages are invariably concise and unambiguous, relying not at all on symbols or sentiment.

A beheading here, a bombing there, dozens of bullet-riddled bodies in a baroque Parisian theatre... these guys are consistently and perpetually on point.

More importantly, they can send all these twitter-soaked, wishing-well simpletons screaming for their mummies anytime they like.

"HANNOVER, Germany -- The friendly soccer game between Germany and the Netherlands was cancelled at short notice due to the serious threat of an attack at the stadium on Tuesday.

Where's all those symbols of defiance now? They've gotta be around here somewhere.

Meanwhile, in a screamin' metaphor for all this "Imagine all the People" malarkey we're drowning in of late...

"We must do this without any statute of limitations and we must find out all their names," Putin said.

"Anyone who tries to help the criminals should know that the consequences for trying to shelter them will lie completely on their shoulders."

Here's a clear statement of intent. The Russian navy, with a large complement of cruise missiles are moving to liase with their French counterparts. And while Justin is vowing to pull 6 CF-18 jets from the battlefield, Vlad has just upped his contribution from 50 to 87.

See, unlike in Western democracies, Vlad doesn't have to care what people think. And he's the kind of thick-skinned sociopath (former KGB) who really seems to enjoy reaching out and touching people.

I wouldn't be surprised if there's a gold-plated pair of vice-grips with Vladdy's name on them at the KGB Hall of Fame. Oh yeah, that sllthery sound you hear is jihadi testicles shrivelling up all over the Arab middle east.

Funny, there's not a word about the searing personal tragedy of Tabitha Speer, the widow of the special forces medic Omar Khadr admitted murdering.

"He told the court no one had forced him to change his pleas. When asked if he had killed Speer in 2002, Khadr answered, quietly, "Yes." When asked if it was true that he conspired with Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda, he also answered "Yes.""

LAST WORD: Did ISIS miscalculate?The anti-Justin candidate.

News by the numbers

Ralph Goodale takes a page from Mad Magazine...

"What, me worry?"

First, a little background...

The Islamic State extremist group said in a statement posted online that the attacks were launched in retaliation for France's involvement in the air campaign against ISIS militants.

Now, add in a little Librano spin...

After briefing with top security officials, Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale said there are no present concerns of an increased risk of a terror attack on Canadian soil.

Hey, what's that at the bottom of the same article... a nugget that perhaps eluded Mr G.?

The Department of National Defence said that two of Canada's CF-18 Hornets successfully struck an ISIS compound and two separate ISIS fighting positions Friday near the Iraqi city of Ramadi.

But I'm sure everything will be fine... 'cos Ralphie said so.

Of course, he also said this...

Goodale said that the Liberal government still intends to resettle 25,000 Syrian refugees in the country before the end of the year. He said that all of the refugees will still face the necessary security and health checks before they will be brought to Canada.

"There can be no compromise on the quality of the security work, it must be done and it must be done properly."

Wait a minute...

"So, in order to get the checks done before Christmas, CSIS will need 200 people working 24/7 with no breaks for sleep."

And...

"It takes 3 to 6 months for the RCMP to screen a Canadian citizen for a firearms PAL. That's for a CDN citizen with a lifetime of history in this country."

Yikers.

The Emperor's New Clothiers

"CBC has all but shutdown their comment sections. Apparently, no one has any faith in our dear leader."

"Comments are taking over an hour to get approved."

Meanwhile, on the diplomatic front, it appears as though Stephane "Mumbles" Dion is still having trouble with his English... earnestly offering up, you know... "support of many kinds"... just not the kind that involves actual combat.

Regarding Justin Trudeau's decision to withdraw Canadian air-support from the Kurdish Peshmerga (the only really effective opposition to ISIS currently in Syria) Dion trips over his weasel words...

"This is the aim of what we are doing. It's not to withdraw. To the contrary: It's to be more effective."

Stephane... I'm pretty sure the phrase "more effective" doesn't mean what you think it means.

I'm guessing the Kurds would choose "smart bombs" over "smarmy" all day long.

**********

UPDATE: This just in from...

...the Little Mosque on the Rideau...

A senior official in Trudeau’s office said Saturday that the attacks have not changed the prime minister’s mind when it comes to ending Canada’s participation in the U.S.-led bombing mission against ISIL.

The official, speaking on background, said the government also still intends to resettle 25,000 Syrian refugees.

What will Justin do if France invokes NATO’s Article 5, which requires all alliance members to come to the defence of any member that is attacked?

**********

UPDATE2: And then there were two?

Dear Prime Minister Care Bear...

..about that wonderful Christmas present you're preparing for Canadians...

A Syrian passport has been retrieved from one of the suicide bombers who blew himself up outside the Stade de France stadium last night, according to two French police officers. It has not yet been confirmed whether the Syrian passport was authentic, or was one of the many forged passports flooding into Europe with the refugee crisis.

While our moral & intellectual betters in the media are, as usual, still struggling to discern a possible reason for the horrific slaughter of mostly young French citizens...

ISIS released a statement today, claiming responsibility for the attacks.

"A group of believers from the soldiers of the Caliphate, may Allah strengthen and support it, set out targeting the capital of prostitution and vice…Paris."

"Let France and ALL NATIONS FOLLOWING ITS PATH know that they will continue to be at the top of the target list for the Islamic State and that the scent of death will not leave their nostrils as long as they partake in the crusader campaign."

"Indeed, this is just the beginning."

Well, good to know. As I've said previously...

"If just 1% of Justin's 25,000 proposed "refugees" are hardcore fundamentalists... he's parachuting 250 possible terrorists into Canadian cities AND FUNDING THEIR EVERY MOVE."

Over to you, Justin.

Now, if just 1% of Justin's 25,000 proposed "refugees" are hardcore fundamentalists... he's parachuting 250 possible terrorists into Canadian cities AND FUNDING THEIR EVERY MOVE.

Okay, let's go back to that number at the top... 8 men who slaughtered 158 innocent people and wounded countless others. Now, try to imagine what 250 homicidal jihadis could accomplish.

At the same time, the Liberals are going to repeal Conservative security measures designed specifically to fight terror.

I think it's time for Justin to "whip out" his common sense.

You’re good, but just not in the circle.”

The only publication reportedly allowed into the circle was his own. Like protesters at University of Missouri, students at Loyola formed a human chain around a protest site to keep the press out.

I got nuthin'.

C'mon precious... you didn't actually think...

...the Liberals were gonna start doing any of that crazy stuff they promised...

Since the October 19 federal election, that saw the Trudeau Liberals defeat the Harper Conservatives, Canadian fighter jets have conducted air strikes 11 times in Iraq, destroying Islamic State fighting positions and ammunition caches.

The Canadian military says CF-18s will continue to fly in support of the air campaign against the Islamic State jihadists until it’s ordered to stand down.

So what's our fearless PILF saying?

“I made it very clear that it is Canada’s intention to withdraw from the bombing mission... We will have more to announce in the coming weeks.”

Speaking of soldiers...

"Gee, those Liberal promises are already disappearing. The new Veterans Affairs Minister, Kent Hehr says Canadians must have misheard if they think the Liberals are committed to re-opening the nine veterans offices they explicitly promised to re-open during the campaign."

The left’s intentional habit of confusing secularism with de-Christianization has done little to minimize the role of faith in Canadian society; increasingly, it just means as Christians stand down, religions whose roots in Canadian culture are far shallower step up.

What results is not a Canada free of the imagined regressive or irrational influences of faith, but simply one where religious cultures from the developing world fill an abandoned space.

Our new faithful, after all, do not generally hail from corners of the globe with particularly inspiring records when it comes to tolerating heretics — to say nothing of women and sexual minorities.

I wrote a letter saying, “If you need more specimen, let me know, and I will go back to Alaska. I’ve been there before. I know where it is. I can go back.” And I didn’t hear anything, I didn’t hear anything. And I thought, well, he knows, he thinks I’m a nut. He happened to be on vacation so he didn’t get his mail.

And he called me here. And he asked me, “When can you go?” So I said, “I can’t go this week. But I can go next week.” And I called up to Brevig. Now this time when I come, the second visit in 1997, it so happened it was in August.

And Hultin went up there with a pick and shovel. He recovered the samples and brought them back to Taubenberger. No government or private funding, No years of shameless self-promotion.

OTTAWA — The RCMP believes it has “come to a dead end” in its probe of where Parliament Hill shooter Michael Zehaf Bibeau got his gun — one of the most vexing questions about the events of Oct. 22, 2014.`

Zounds, Sherlock... wouldn't this despicable act have been a job for our now-defunct 2 billion dollar long gun registry?

Unfortunately, no... that particular Liberal Party P.R stunt was simply a (not especially complete or accurate) database of legally owned firearms of law-abiding citizens. Zehaf Bibeau, (like pretty much every other criminal lowlife responsible for virtually all Canadian homicides) wouldn't have made the cut...

Zehaf Bibeau, who had a criminal record, would have been barred from buying a gun.

Obviously "barred" doesn't actually mean that anyone could stop this terrorist from acquiring a gun. Just ask all those firearms enthusiasts up at Jane & Finch.

Lest you think they weren't really trying...

The RCMP devoted more than 130 full-time investigators and staff to the case.

The only thing that might have made a difference that day is if the soldiers on duty had been allowed to carry loaded rifles. Apparently though, we don't trust our soldiers any more than we trust farmers, hunters or sport shooters who go through rigid training, testing and close scrutiny by law enforcement before being allowed to own a firearm.

But, back to our homegrown terrorist... don't even think about pissing on Zehaf Bibeau's grave. He's back in Libya having been given what some consider a martyrs burial...

The Embassy of Libya in Ottawa confirmed Friday that Zehaf-Bibeau’s body was sent to Libya last year. A family member in that country said the body was buried in mid-November.

Zehaf-Bibeau’s cousin, Ashraf Zehaf said he feels Canadian authorities provoked the Oct. 22 attack by denying a troubled young man the freedom to travel abroad. “As for the public opinion in Libya, there are some here who call him a hero..."

Boy, that's some "Religion of Peace."

When he got the bottom, he punched a 54-year-old woman in the face, knocking her to the ground, police said.

Paramedics transported the 50-year-old man and 54-year-old woman to hospital, where the man was treated for a broken hip and wrist, and the woman was treated for a broken wrist and bruising to her face.

Toronto resident Kwasi Kobia, 18, has been charged with a total of 36 charges in connection with the case including attempted murder, uttering threats, careless use of a firearm, and unauthorized possession of a firearm.

And speaking of criminals...

Police charged Fathi Rashid with four counts each of sexual assault, sexual interference and criminal harassment, along with one count of invitation to touching. “This has been ongoing,” Toronto police sex crimes Detective Dan Luff said. “He’s been doing it on a monthly basis since April. I have no reason to disbelieve that there wouldn’t be more.”

This disastrous one-child policy created a society without enough women to ensure most people could have a chance at choosing a mate. Reversing that decision 30 years later is, curiously, being presented as an economic policy.

"The party is seeking to eradicate poverty as defined under current standards, lifting the country’s remaining 70 million poor people above the poverty line by the end of the decade."

Oh, by the way... good news, dudes, in another 20 years, there may also be enough marriageable women to stave off societal collapse.

Don't you worry, though... Justin's still a believer.And a feminist...

During the event, which itself was widely criticized for sexist and patronizing undertones, an audience member asked Mr. Trudeau which nation’s “administration he most admired.”

To which Justin replied...

“There is a level of admiration I actually have for China because their basic dictatorship is allowing them to actually turn their economy around on a dime and say 'we need to go green.'"

Sadly, our boy wonder cum leader is talking out his bunghole...

Given decades of environmental neglect and China’s heavy reliance on coal — which produces 70% of the country’s energy — it would be difficult to produce a dramatic improvement quickly.

P.S. - Dear Justin... three decades isn't "turning on a dime."

"The New York City murder rate is typical. Year in, year out, about 90 percent of homicide victims are nonwhite males, as are 90 percent of their killers."

Funny how seldom things like that get mentioned in the media. And that's incredibly corrosive and misleading.

"For the president to emphasize that there are brutal and racist cops, presumably white, without citing the staggering rate of black-on-black crime distorts both problems."

"What more needs to be done to combat the high suicide rate among transgender people?"

Unfortunately, despite Bruce Jenner's newfound celebrity as the latest & greatest Kardashian sister, if there is a solution to transgender morbidity, it resides outside the surgical realm.

Anyone who looks at the academic literature, as compiled by folks like the National Institutes of Health, will see that the suicide rate for pre & post-op transsexuals is nearly identical at just over 40%.

Persons with transsexualism, after sex reassignment, have considerably higher risks for mortality, suicidal behaviour, and psychiatric morbidity than the general population.

Our findings suggest that sex reassignment, although alleviating gender dysphoria, may not suffice as treatment for transsexualism, and should inspire improved psychiatric and somatic care after sex reassignment for this patient group.

The established facts, which the transgendered community do their best to suppress, show that transsexualism is a psychiatric condition that is not "cured" by cutting off your existing genitalia and replacing them with a surgical facsimile.

It's all there in black and white...

The review of more than 100 international medical studies of post-operative transsexuals by the University of Birmingham's aggressive research intelligence facility (Arif) found no robust scientific evidence that gender reassignment surgery is clinically effective.

Actually, it's worse than that...

Research from the US and Holland suggests that up to a fifth of patients regret changing sex.

20% regret changing genders, over 40% attempt suicide.

This is not a problem you can solve "from the heart outward."

Pierre's son has reiterated his intent to change Canada over to a proportional representation system of voting.

Only parties passing a 3% minimum threshold in the first round are assigned seats. If the party receiving the plurality of the votes passes a 40% threshold, it is attributed a minimum of 340 seats (54%). The remaining 277 seats are allocated to the other parties in a proportional fashion, and no second round takes place.

Italy has had over 60 fractious governments in the 70 years since World War II.

Hey Canada, that new tax...

"The Liberals promised to up that to 25,000, beginning immediately. The platform promises to spend $250 million, including $100 million in the current fiscal year, 'to increase Syrian refugee processing, as well as sponsorship and settlement services.'”

That's $10,000 per refugee, right? That just might cover welfare housing & food for one year, but let's remember these people are not well educated, don't speak the language and have had minimal health care, so that figure needs to be multiplied, probably by at least four to cover "sponsorship and settlement services."

And it needs to be spent every year until Ahmad is employable. Call it a billion dollars yearly.

That's just one Justin promise... and it doesn't improve a single middle class Canadian life.

That's what you voted for, Canada. They promised us billions of dollars in deficit spending, and fuddle my sainted duddle, they'll deliver.
