Yeah... let's invest here...

In the 1970s, nearly 600 Canadian weather stations fed surface temperature readings into a global database assembled by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Today, NOAA only collects data from 35 stations across Canada.

Only one station -- at Eureka on Ellesmere Island -- is now used by NOAA as a temperature gauge for all Canadian territory above the Arctic Circle.

Mr. D'Aleo and Mr. Smith say NOAA and GISS also ignore data from numerous weather stations in other parts of the world, including Russia, the U.S. and China.

Neither agency responded to a request for comment Wednesday from Canwest News Service.

Paging Al Gore.

Soften the Rules?

“We think we must widen, for the Haiti crisis, the definition of family. So that Haitian families can bring in brothers, sisters, nephews. We must soften the rules for humanitarian reasons,” Mr. Ignatieff told reporters after a caucus meeting Wednesday.

Every day, somewhere in the world... there is a disaster... natural or otherwise.

Think of the misery in Darfur... or most parts of Africa for that matter. There are the rural parts of India. South America abounds with homeless street kids.

There have been... and will continue to be frequent humanitarian disasters worldwide.

Funny how Michael Ignatieff just happens to really, really need one... right now.

Oh, what the heck, I'm sure he's...

...learned his lesson...

"Another suspect in the so-called “Toronto 18” case has pleaded guilty to terrorism offences Wednesday – and will released from prison as early as Thursday."

Well, cheer up... it could have been worse...

"Convicted terrorist Parminder Singh Saini will not be allowed to practice law in Ontario."

Yikers.

Your obligatory MSM...

..."Multicultural Moment"...

So the sentence starts...

"More than 200 ethnic groups generally live peacefully side-by-side in the West African country..."

but it unfortunately ends...

"...although 1 million people were killed in a civil war between 1967 and 1970 and there have been outbreaks of religious unrest since then."

Oh yeah... the headline?

"Muslim-Christian clashes kill 460 in Nigerian city"

Sorry guys, call me wacky... your idea of "generally peaceful" is obviously a little different than my own.

The Youth Advocates Program represents the final stage of Alinskyism: its co-optation by the government-funded social-services industry.

Using a profile of past shooting victims that includes such factors as school truancy rates and disciplinary records, he has identified several hundred teens as having a greater than 20 percent chance of getting shot over the next two years.

The program will assign the 300 or so potential victims their own “advocates,” who will intercede on their behalf with government agencies and provide them with case management and counseling.

Good grief.

You're away for 34 years... that's what happens.

But what about "proroguing Parliament" you ask?

"We are in the 17th Parliament since 1958. In that time, there have been 40 sessions of Parliament – about one session per year, or two to three per Parliament."

"That means there have been 23 prorogations of Parliament in my lifetime."

It's just more Liberal smoke & mirrors.

In a perfect political storm, Scott Brown became the first Republican to win a Massachusetts senate seat since 1972.

The result is one of the biggest post-war shocks and given the fact the Democrats lost their supermajority, probably the most momentous.

LAST WORD: Eyes on the prize

"So in the most liberal of liberal states, in a race for the Senate seat held for two generations by a Kennedy, the voters were asked if they wanted to kill President Barack Obama's cherished health care reform package."

Thump.

"I don't need solutions..."

"...I'm a Liberal..."

While Mr. Ignatieff was happy to criticize Mr. Harper, his new team and their approach to handling the economy, he would not say how he would slay the deficit should the Liberals form government.

Instead, he said it was Mr. Harper’s $56-billion shortfall and therefore it was his problem.

And they keep telling us Iggy is "the smart one."

But of course...

...10 million destitute, illiterate, starving people spread over 10,000 square miles... who wouldn't be itching to invade?

France accused the US of "occupying" Haiti on Monday as thousands of American troops flooded into the country to take charge of aid efforts and security.

The French minister in charge of humanitarian relief called on the UN to "clarify" the American role amid claims the military build up was hampering aid efforts.

Of course, the real lesson here is... never get in between a Frenchman & the emergency exit.

Alain Joyandet admitted he had been involved in a scuffle with a US commander in the airport's control tower over the flight plan for a French evacuation flight.

Flee, flee... run away!!!

How hungry would YOU have to be... to loot & burn down your own neighbourhood?

"The population was throwing stones at us to stop us from preventing the looting," said Gabriel Diallo, a United Nations officer from Guinea. "They said we can't stop them from looting the food because they were hungry."

The looters then burned down the store, sending a black cloud into the air that added one more dystopian element to the scene.

So what's the deal here... did somebody actually say to themselves... "How can we possibly make this 'hell on earth' worse?"

I guess John Lennon had a point...

...maybe you'll just have to "Imagine" it...

These guys are always screaming about Israel being the stumbling block... but the truth is, they can't even get along with each other...

The Islamic Solidarity Games, due to be held in Iran in April, have been called off because of a dispute with Arab countries over what to call the Gulf.

The games had been postponed in October in the hope of striking a deal.

The only solidarity I see here... as usual... is right between somebody's ears.

So that means, what...

-- BRAMPTON, Ont. -- Toronto 18 terrorist Saad Gaya was sentenced Monday to 12 years in prison, minus seven-and-a-half years credit for pre-trial custody.

No wonder these guys laugh at us.

FROM THE COMMENTS:

"At some point, Canada will have to grow up and understand that terrorists are real-life mass murderers not deserving of all the offender 'rights' that are afforded run of the mill criminals."

"Pass a law that requires a mandatory life sentence, (as in the rest of your life) for plotting or carrying out a terrorist attack. That's probably the best we can hope for since the public is too squeamish to sanction execution."

UPDATE: To quote "Crocodile Dundee"...

"That's not a knife... this is a knife..."

"Zakaria Amara, the mastermind of a 2006 terrorist plot to bomb Toronto, has been given a life sentence by an Ontario judge, a punishment that represents the courtroom climax of the so-called 'Toronto 18' case."

Okay... that's better.

Who will John McCallum and...

-- KABUL -- The Taliban quickly claimed success: “We have sent 20 suicide bombers to Kabul,” Zabidullah Mujahid, a Taliban spokesman, said in a telephone interview.

“We have launched this attack against the puppet government. Our fighters have killed many, many people.”

So we tried calling Mr. Rebagliati. We spoke to his wife, Alexandra, who also helps him out with media relations.

She said the Liberals had emailed her, told her they had been in touch with The Globe and Mail, and that her husband need not add any more.

She said he would not be making any comment.

Iggy shuts down the irrepressible Nickel Bagliardi.

Another Canadian falls

A Canadian soldier on a joint foot patrol with Afghan soldiers was killed Saturday after stepping on an improvised explosive device in southern Afghanistan.

The military identified him as Sergeant John Faught, 44, of the 1st Battalion Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry based in Edmonton.

He will be remembered.

More Bang for your Tourist Buck

How long you figure it'll be before somebody comes away with a sucking chest wound?

-- LOS ANGELES -- Alfred Lomas, 45, a former gang member and the creator of the tour ($65, lunch included), said this drive-by was about educating people on city life, while turning any profits into microloans and other initiatives aimed at providing gang members jobs.

But aside from its unusual logistical challenges — the liability waiver describes the tour as “inherently dangerous” and warns of the risk of death — the venture has also generated debate about its appropriateness.

Hmmm... I'm guessing a hit on the crackpipe, or kibitzing with the "ho's" is extra.

Two words... freak show.
