Michael Ignatieff launched an aggressive attack on status of women minister Helena Guergis today, saying that she’s a liar and doesn’t deserve to be in cabinet.Nice. You kiss Ralph Goodale with that mouth?
"Maybe she should take Iggy to the HRC, she was insulted, called a liar with no proof. If a lesbian can be insulted by a comics remarks, why not a Minister of the Crown."Interesting.
"And she should hire Ezra to take it on."

Ontario taxpayers are footing the bill for almost 219,000 new public sector workers who were added to the payroll in just over six years... when the current Dalton McGuinty government first gained power, according to Statistics Canada.And up another 19 percent this year.
The Liberals, rebounding from the recession and with a projected deficit this year of almost $20 billion, has been touting a two-year public sector freeze to help stem the red ink.

The intention of the proposed law is to reduce the substantial list of asylum seekers living Canada. The backlog of cases now sits at about 60,000.Another essential piece of legislation... by that pesky Harper minority government. You know... like closing that dead-time loophole.

(or, more outrageously, a child serial killer)... who'll be a life-long drain on Canadian taxpayers. So what's the real deal here?
They say they were told to go ahead and buy a house, put down some roots because they would get their two-year extension that would put them in good stead to apply for landed immigrant status and eventual Canadian citizenship. They paid $321,000 for their townhouse and became proud Oakville taxpayers.
What a disgrace. As my immigration expert colleague Tom Godfrey says “it seems heavy-handed” and it looks like the system has got “its token white family for the year.”More to the point... how do we treat people who follow the rules and don't break the law or try to game the system?
We kick an eight-year-old girl out of school while slugs such as Const. Todd Baylis’ murderer, Gayle, have access to all the free schooling he wants.The thing is... we're in such a mad rush to deport the Mallozzi family... but we're gonna give this guy a free pass?

The budget office is required to take written legislation at face value and not second-guess the plausibility of what it is handed. So fantasy in, fantasy out. In reality, if you strip out all the gimmicks and budgetary games and rework the calculus, a wholly different picture emerges: The health care reform legislation would raise, not lower, federal deficits, by $562 billion.Heck... this guy must just be some knuckle-draggin neocon crank, right?
“Removing the unrealistic annual Medicare savings ($463 billion) and the stolen annual revenues from Social Security and long-term care insurance ($123 billion), and adding in the annual spending that so far is not accounted for ($114 billion) quickly generates additional deficits of $562 billion in the first 10 years,” Holtz-Eakin points out

-- TORONTO -- The teenaged girl whose testimony was the catalyst in the Jordan Manners murder investigation told her aunt that she had witnessed the act inside C.W. Jefferys Collegiate on May 23, 2007.But that's not all...
But the witness’ statement was never heard by the jury at the trial of two 20-year-olds, J.W. and C.D., accused of murdering the 15-year-old Manners.
Another piece of evidence that the jury also never heard was that one particle of gunshot residue was found on one of the accused men’s right hand.The fact is, we have a legal system... not a system of justice.
The test was taken seven hours after the shooting. But Justice Nordheimer ruled that the accused’s rights were violated as he didn’t consent to the test, and the police didn’t have a search warrant authorizing the test.
If the judges decide that fairness requires a new trial, the courts will have to replay an arduous case that consumed five years, featured 129 witnesses and included 1.3 million pages of documents.That's odd... I think they had me back at "human head in a bucket."

The dinosaur media are vast lumbering eunuchs too cowed by political correctness to do even elementary research.
Fatima Al Dhaher, the poor wee thing traumatized by Ann Coulter's camel joke, turns out to be a Jew-hater who wants to eliminate the State of Israel, and belongs to a group who regard Jews as "subhuman zionazis/kikeroaches".
But that's too complicated for the media to fit into their Sesame Street narratives.

-- BRUSSELS -- Private security guards on board the UAE-owned cargo ship MV Almezaan, aboard, have repelled a hijacking attempt at sea in skirmishes off Somalia that left one pirate dead, the EU’s naval force in the area said Wednesday.Now, it might take a little while for these dumbass thugs to catch on... but, trust me, eventually, they'll get it...
The pirates had at first withdrawn but had returned for a second attempt, at which stage the private guards had apparently fired on their attackers rather than just firing in the air.Less than fifty bucks worth of ammo... problem solved.
"Bartender, give me a Somali Pirate."Ba-da-bing.

“I’m pretty sure little Francois A-Houle does not need to travel with a bodyguard,” she said. “I would like to know when this sort of violence, this sort of protest, has been inflicted upon a Muslim — who appear to be, from what I’ve read of the human rights complaints, the only protected group in Canada."It does appear, though... that Ms. Coulter may have found a solution to her dilemma...

After a “chaotic” public meeting in Natuashish that drew hundreds, a vote on lifting the troubled community’s controversial alcohol ban was set for Friday.Somebody remind me... what did it cost Canadian taxpayers to pick up the 725 residents of Davis ("ghastly social problems and substance abuse") Inlet and move them to their "fresh start" paradise?
The turnout Tuesday in the remote Innu community, which exceeded participation in the recent band council elections, suggested just how deep feelings go on either side of the issue. The meeting ran more than four hours and laid bare the rancour dividing the Northern Labrador community.
“It was a chaotic meeting, people were shouting back and forth,” said Mr. Poker, the former chief and staunch advocate of the ban. “People were drunk. At the meeting some people were stepping to the microphone, screaming and shouting the way drunk people do.”
-- OTTAWA -- Liberal attempts to ignite muffled anti-abortion sentiment on Conservative benches and foster doubts about the social policies of Prime Minister Stephen Harper have been foiled from within.That's gonna leave a mark.
A motion by Liberal MP Bob Rae... was defeated by a vote of 144-138 yesterday when three Liberal MPs – all long-time opponents of abortion – voted against it.
It was a gong show last night in the Commons for Michael Ignatieff and his Liberals; one Liberal MP is even calling it “clown city.”**********
First, the Liberal motion on the Harper government’s maternal health initiative, aimed at stirring up the Tory bench over reproductive issues, such as abortion, failed. The Grits lost the vote after three of their own MPs opposed it; others abstained and some Liberal MPs, who are pro-life, were told to stay away from the Commons, according to sources.
And so confused were the Liberals after losing their own motion that on the following vote, Chief Opposition Whip Rodger Cuzner mistakenly told some of his MPs to vote with the government. They ended up supporting the Conservatives’ spending plans, which led to much glee and gloating from the government bench.

-- GAUHATI, India (AP) -- The Indian military has a new weapon against terrorism: the world's hottest chili. After conducting tests, the military has decided to use the thumb-sized "bhut jolokia," or "ghost chili," to make tear gas-like hand grenades to immobilize suspects, defense officials said Tuesday.And, no... it's no joke...
It has more than 1,000,000 Scoville units, the scientific measurement of a chili's spiciness. Classic Tabasco sauce ranges from 2,500 to 5,000 Scoville units, while jalapeno peppers measure anywhere from 2,500 to 8,000.Smokin'.
Attorneys general from 13 states, including Florida, sued the federal government today, claiming the landmark health care overhaul is unconstitutional just seven minutes after President Barack Obama signed it into law.Oh, oh... looks like it's time to distract the audience.
The lawsuit was filed in Pensacola after the Democratic president signed the 10-year, $938 billion bill the House passed Sunday night.
"This is the first time in American history where American citizens will be forced to buy a particular good or service," said Nebraska Attorney General Jon Bruning.

Screw that whole "personal responsibility" deal... we've got abortions...The Liberals are stirring the pot by using abortion rights as a wedge issue between their party and the Conservatives. And so far the Tories are falling into their trap.Yup, of course Scott... Big Mother knows what's best for all of us...
Opposition strategists believe that every time a Tory says the word “abortion,” it’s gold for the Liberals.

Usually these teenage gangbanger killings are so carefully reasoned out.-- TORONTO -- The judge presiding over the Jordan Manners trial has directed the Crown to investigate two key prosecution witnesses who disavowed their original statements to police.The only surprise here is that the two witnesses offered to testify in the first place... a virtually unheard of sin within "the community."

"I was hoping for a fruit basket, not a threat to prosecute."Sorry Ann... that's just how these guys roll.
Many lifelong Liberals, like me, are disgusted with Rae and Dosanjh and their antics. Their agenda is to do whatever they can to attack the Prime Minister and Defence Minister, even if it means tarring the reputation of Canada and the Canadian Forces.Hey, Bobby...Ujjal... you wanna talk about war crimes? Are you sure about that?
It’s odd, I’ve never heard Rae or Dosanjh expend the same amount of energy on matters related to the deaths of 136 soldiers and diplomats violently killed in Afghanistan. I don’t recall Dosanjh expressing any concerns for detainees when he was a Liberal Minister in the Paul Martin Cabinet that expanded our Afghan mission.
Mr. Rae and Mr. Dosanjh are pretend Liberals looking for the fastest way to the top. They ditched their NDP buddies when they were no longer convenient. Now, they are prepared to ditch the men and women of Afghanistan for their own political ends.
And that, my friends, is the END GAME.
The fact of the matter is that if Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Defence Minister Peter MacKay or General Rick Hillier are guilty of war crimes, then so are the soldiers that carried out those orders. It was established at Nuremberg that, “just following orders” was not a valid defence.Scratch a floor-crossing Dipper... find a snake in the grass.
If the members of Her Majesty’s Official Opposition were so confident in their assertions that war crimes occurred, they would be joining Professor Michael Byers from UBC in asking the ICC to investigate Canada.
They don’t for two reasons, firstly to do so would rob them of a weapon to beat the government over head with during question period, secondly, the Liberals are smart enough to realize that the Canadian public would not take kindly to our own politicians accusing our own soldiers of war crimes.
A party that did so would not see power for some time.
The jamming culminated on February 11 when Iran marked the anniversary of its 1979 Islamic Revolution, the EU draft statement says.

One of three Toronto men stabbed in a fracas outside a City of Vaughan bar early Saturday died later in hospital.Couple drinks, a little dancing & the ginsu shuffle... the fun just never stops.
Toronto Police, whose jurisdiction is right on the border with Steeles Ave., received a 911 emergency call just after 3 a.m. about people injured outside Coconuts Restaurant and Lounge and alerted York colleagues.
Paramedics rushed the three wounded men to hospital from the parking lot at Keele St. and Steeles Ave. The dead man was identified as Roger Samaroo, 26.
In the first incident, a man was shot in the leg outside a home in a residential area around Finch and Kipling Aves.Yikers.
About two hours later, a 29-year-old man was stabbed in the chest in a Kendelton Dr. highrise, in the Finch Ave.-Albion Rd. area.

-- TEXAS -- More than 100 drivers in Austin, Texas found their cars disabled or the horns honking out of control, after an intruder ran amok in a web-based vehicle-immobilization system normally used to get the attention of consumers delinquent in their auto payments.Always a few bugs in the system, I guess.
Police with Austin’s High Tech Crime Unit on Wednesday arrested 20-year-old Omar Ramos-Lopez, a former Texas Auto Center employee who was laid off last month, and allegedly sought revenge by bricking the cars sold from the dealership’s four Austin-area lots.Say... anybody else got one of Dalton McSlippery's smart electric meters?
