"In Florida this afternoon, Vice President Joe Biden reminded supporters that thanks to President Obama, they could now get colonoscopies without a co-pay."
I'm thinkin' mom might just be on to something... I by-Allah betcha this kinda thing does modify your behaviour... not to mention your ability to turn your back on another human being... ever again...• Montreal • Her daughter was in hospital being treated for stab wounds, to the head, shoulder and arm. She herself had been arrested that morning at the family home with blood on her hands and feet and a gash on her left arm."And Johra, don't think we all don't appreciate it.
"And Johra Kaleki, facing charges of attempted murder and aggravated assault, decided she was going to disregard her lawyer’s advice and tell the story “from A to Z.”
Bentley had resisted releasing the documents to a legislative committee, arguing publication would compromise the government's chance to get a good settlement with TransCanada Corp, the company that won the contract to build it.Wait a minute...
During the announcement earlier in the day in Toronto, Bentley said that the provincial government's unrecoverable costs from the cancellation were $40 million.Hey... what about that "showing your cards" thing?
-- MONTREAL -- Guy Turcotte, the Quebec doctor found not criminally responsible for killing his two young children, is allowed to take unescorted bike rides from a mental hospital, QMI Agency has learned.Unbelievable.
He leaves the Pinel institute nearly every day despite the fact a review board and his ex-wife insist he's still dangerous.
Turcotte stabbed five-year-old son Olivier son and three-year-old daughter Anne-Sophie 46 times amid a crumbling marriage in 2009.
“They believe that they can walk in there and do that in front of all these people and get away with it.”Not to rain on your parade, Greg... but they're right...

“The people who know the information they could tell, will never tell the police, ever. They’ve been harassed so much. Put it this way: The people who really know the inside scoop will never tell them nothing.”Wake up, Toronto... and smell that multi-culturalism.

"Islamic faith ensures that an Edmonton toddler, allegedly abused and starved for most of her young life by her parents, is on her way to paradise."I swear... I'm speechless. Is there any way this thing could be spun to further deflect the horrific reality here?
Lydia Bubel, a lawyer for the girl’s father, told the court Friday that the funeral needed to be arranged quickly because Islamic traditions dictate the girl’s body cannot be embalmed.Seriously... you're gonna try torque this horrific narrative with religious minutiae? Isn't there a single voice of outrage in the "community?" This two year-old girl weighed 13 pounds.
The girl, known in court documents as M, spent the last three months in a coma, virtually brain dead, while judges decided whether to side with her Muslim parents and keep her on life support or take the advice of doctors and stop life-sustaining treatment.The article concludes...
The parents face charges of aggravated assault, criminal negligence causing bodily harm and failing to provide the necessities of life – offences that are expected to be upgraded now that the girl is dead.
Custom states she will forever lay on her right side, with her head facing towards the holy city of Mecca.Yeah, that's the important thing here. Give us some more of that ol' time religion.
Let me toss three small words into the ring here... "obstruction of justice"..."The statute of limitations has now passed . . . so I can now say . . . yes, he did it," Kaelin told Cindy Adams of the Post. Asked why his testimony did not help convict Simpson, he replied, "I was too scared. I was terrified."Make this dickhead pay a price.
Oh that's right... you had an expert-witness...Abdifatah Warsame hasn’t been able to speak with immediate families of the latest victims, but said the community is reeling from so many murders of its young men.Hang on a sec, Ian... your go-to guy can't even tell you what the families of these guys are saying... but he speaks for the entire community? That's just phonin' it in, bud.
“In the Somali community, unemployment is over 80%,” compared to the national 8% average, Warsame said. Compared to the lure of fast cash on the street, “how do you motivate the young people when they say they’ll never be part of the Canadian dream?”Of course it isn't... increasing drug violence, bodies piling up. on street corners... I say we blame Stephen Harper. Again.
“This is not a Canadian-Somali problem.”
Rather than rural Alberta being a home to a large number of same-sex couples, the census may have misidentified transient workers with roommates.Heck... close enough for government work.... right?
"We believe there is a likelihood we would put people together as a family when they're not. We obviously need to look at our processes in a way to update them and make them better."
Total enrolment.... six students. Makes you wonder what would have happened if the entire "community" hadn't been up in arms ramrodding this thing through.“We haven’t given up on the program,” said Spence Tuesday night. But, “when you’ve got enrollment down across the board you can’t defend three teachers for six students.”Could it actually be that parents realised a certificate from Ebonics U. might not be doing their children such a service after all?
The program was originally conceived to have up to 60 Grade 9 students with plans to add another grade each year. Six of the students’ eight courses would be destreamed and taught through “an Africentric lens.”
"Overwhelming public opposition to plans for an Afrocentric alternative school will not deter the Toronto District School Board from pressing ahead with the project, according to board chair John Campbell."**********
Opposition is even greater in the GTA, though the regional numbers have a higher margin of error. In the 905 area, support for the school sits at just 11 per cent, compared with 85 per cent against it.
Across Ontario, equally lopsided numbers of people said they see the plan as a form of segregation and would oppose any ethnically focused school.
He said during his tenure as superintendent for the Milwaukee School Board, members welcomed the idea for African-centred alternative schools with open arms.Once again... the triumph of hope over experience.
The board opened a middle school and elementary school, but the former has since closed because of declining enrollment.
**********"Liberal Environment Minister Laurel Broten was previously dumped from cabinet after she irked neighbours with plans to tear down an old tree at her Toronto home to make way for a two-storey garage."Man, she's so wise in so many ways.
• TORONTO • Toronto police are on the scene of a shooting in the northwest end of the city that has claimed the lives of two men.Ah, yes... the "northwest end" of the city... Toronto's mysterious Bermuda Triangle of death.
Residents on Jamestown Crescent near Finch and Martin Grove called police at about 1:30 a.m. after hearing gunshots.
"Both victims are believed to be of Somali descent, bringing to six the number of Somali men who've died as a result of gun violence since the start of June 2012."Now, I know what you're thinking... and this isn't in any way a racist observation... because the CBC has defacto prejudice-exemption status.
"Suleiman Ali, 26, of Toronto, and Warsame Ali, 26, of Vaughan, were found in a laneway behind Jamestown Crescent, near Finch Avenue West and Martin Grove Road.
The slayings mark Toronto's 39th and 40th homicides of 2012."
Toronto police are seeking information about a weekend shooting in which shots were fired from one vehicle at another.I guess it's a Hogtown thing...
Police say they were called to the McCowan Road and Ellesmere Road area at 7:47 p.m. on Saturday, after reported gunshots. 174 shootings have occurred in Toronto since the start of the year, as of Monday morning.
That's an increase of about 10.8 per cent above the number of shootings at the same point in 2011.
Toronto police say that a man got into a dispute over the weekend and allegedly pulled out a loaded handgun and pointed it at two other people.Yup... dispute resolution, TO style.
Police say the incident happened Sunday in the Fountainhead Road and Sentinel Road area, near Keele Street and Finch Avenue West.
An 18-year-old Toronto man faces more than 10 criminal counts, including possession of a prohibited firearm with ammunition and two counts of pointing a firearm.
-- OTTAWA -- Iran has had no ambassador in Canada since Iranian security forces raped and murdered Canadian photographer Zahra Kazemi in 2003. Canada has been a leader in imposing sanctions on Iran to halt Iran's nuclear weapons program.Never mind all that, forget about hurtful words... the only party line today... is let's party...
“Absolutely not. I’m a senator. I’m free to do as a I wish with respect to my engagement with the Iranian community and with the people of Iran,” he told Maclean’s. “Today’s not about politics. Today’s about enriching one another through art.”This guy is supposed to be a Conservative? Stephane Dion is further to the right than this moron.
The Harper government plans to ask the Supreme Court to vet its controversial Senate reform plans in the face of opposition from provincial governments and some of its own caucus members, sources said.There's just one small problem...
The proposed reforms have made little headway in both minority and majority Parliaments, where they have faced opposition from the Liberal Party and the NDP.At least with an elected senate it isn't "cash for life"... you get to throw the bums out.
Toronto police say they are treating the discovery as “suspicious.”Hey, Lois Lane... you mean the anonymous, lifeless, bullet-ridden corpse you briefly mention in this blurb?
Police have identified the victim as 33-year-old Edwin Villan of Toronto.
Obviously, now that the precedent has been established... insults must be paid in blood."Look for the State Department to continue to stonewall this request, and resist release of the document until after the election. Its contents will be just too damaging. In effect, the country will be able to see Hillary Clinton's signature on the document that served as Ambassador Chris Stevens's death warrant."Say, Mr President... what exactly are the rules of engagement along the eastern seaboard?
"Ambassador Chris Stevens did not have a Marine detail in Benghazi, Libya. But White House Senior Advisor and Obama confidante Valerie Jarrett has a full Secret Service detail on vacation in Martha’s Vineyard."Orwell was right.
“Listen, we do use sex to get what we want,” said Nicole Osbourne James, 39, a community activist. “My man comes home late and I’m mad — there won’t be any action in that moment. We do it for minimal reasons, why should it be different if he’s out gangbanging?”I guess I don't get the premise. I mean, why would you choose to be with a violent, amoral thug in the first place?
Heck... that beats "racial stereotype" hands down.A Libyan man explains that the bloodstains on the column are from one the American staff members who grabbed the edge of the column while he was evacuated, after an attack that killed four Americans on September 11th.The Obama administration had 48 hours warning of this attack AND did nothing... but, of course it's some pathetic Youtube screed that nobody has seen.
For whatever reason, Secretary Clinton chose to double down on misleading the American people. “Libyans carried Chris’ body to the hospital,” said Mrs. Clinton.**********
That’s one way of putting it.
The photographs at the Arab TV network al-Mayadeen show Chris Stevens’ body being dragged through the streets, while the locals take souvenir photographs on their cellphones.
"On its official website the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt praised the jihad against America and Jews – the ‘The Descendants Of Apes And Pigs’."Obviously, Canada oughta be reviewing its diplomatic relations with more than just Iran.
