BAD NEWS - Ankara has been accused of letting various Syrian rebel groups – including some of those that grew into the so-called Islamic State – use south Turkey as a de facto rear base as they fought against the regime of Bashar al-Assad.

REALLY, REALLY BAD NEWS - John Holmes, Canada’s ambassador to Ankara, told The Globe and Mail that the Turkish government last week submitted a list of 5,000 names that Turkey was suggesting for resettlement to Canada.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made the announcement Friday at the summit of Commonwealth leaders in Malta, where the battle against global warming is becoming the dominant issue.

Of course, we all know how wisely developing countries allocate their donated cash monies... every African dictator extant has his own special Swiss bank account.

"One example is the son of Equatorial Guinea’s dictator, who owns a $1.4 million Bugatti and a $35 million Malibu mansion, all on a $4,000 monthly salary."

According to party-poopers like StatsCan and the RCMP, there's a few other things to be considered here.

"The agency also examined the identities of those accused of homicide. It found almost a third of people accused of [homicide] last year were aboriginal. The rate of aboriginal people accused was 10 times higher than the rate for non-indigenous people. By gender, aboriginal people accounted for 30 per cent of men accused of homicide and 51 per cent of accused women."

While our newly-minted APEC hottie may not have packed a contingency parachute, it seems the national police service has already implemented their own "Plan B" to deal with any further possible disturbances to "The Force"...

...dependent on Liberals calling audibles & gadget plays?Of course, the headline is a little misleading as it says nothing about the 15,000 refugees being admitted in the eight weeks after Christmas.

The government will prioritize complete families, women at risk, and members of the LGBT community. Single men will only be allowed to come to Canada if they identify as LGBT or are accompanying their parents as part of a family unit.

Ooh, there's some tough love. But wait, Coach Justin has called a double-reverse. The priority categories do not apply to the suddenly split-off group of 10,000 'privately sponsored' refugees.

"Privately sponsored" single men (and I predict an inexplicably sharp rise in the number of self declared gay Muslim men) will still be allowed to come to Canada like any other refugee... which renders the proviso above totally moot (and, incidentally, intentionally deceptive).

The one thing this proviso seems to do is shift responsibility for all the single men onto their private sponsors. I guess that if one of these guys blows himself up on the steps of Parliament, you will have to bring civil suit against the United Church and all the other private sponsors. Who says Pierre-lite doesn't have a certain animal cunning?

I guess that particular obfuscation will be enough of a climbdown to appease the media and the average low-information voter.

What we do know now is that 10,000 refugees will arrive between December 1 and Christmas. Given civil service 8 hour days (even with no lunches or coffee breaks) that means 416 persons per day will have to pass security and medical screening. 15,000 won’t arrive in Canada until the end of February and will now be screened at the rate of 375 per day. Of course, there's the outliers who have presumably been screened with the same magic wand that apparently don't count.

Officials said 102 Syrian refugees have arrived since Nov. 4, which is when they started the clock on the commitment. The 3,089 resettled between July 2013 and Nov. 3 did not count toward the total.

Fwiw, meeting the pre-Christmas deadline means clearing a refugee every 1.15 minutes. On the end of February deadline that's been stretched out to 1.28 minutes.

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...

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

...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.

"Having come ashore in Europe in October, the killer spent just six weeks as a refugee before killing in Paris."

Paris... let's do the math

It looks like less than a dozen, correction, eight, terrorists are responsible for last nights Paris massacre. Remember that number. •••Prime Minister Justin Trudeau wants to bring 25,000 unvetted refugees into the country by Christmas. •••

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.

The editor in chief of a college newspaper turned media away from a protest Thursday afternoon, the Chicago Tribune reported. “Hey, no media in the circle,” Ryan Sorrell, editor of Loyola University Chicago’s Black Tribune, said as he held his hand up to a cameraman. “Sorry, man. 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."

Sure, Justin, the cheque is in the mail. Anyway, you're obviously way too busy poisoning the St Lawrence River to pick up a phone and talk to anyone in the military.

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Minister John McCallum said Thursday that he and the rest of the cabinet had a "very good discussion" about how to resettle 25,000 refugees in Canada and provide "quick and substantial help to some of the most distressed people on the planet."

But neither he nor other ministers gave specific details of how the Liberals plan to get the refugees to Canada before year's end or where they will house them once they arrive.

McCallum said more details would be forthcoming in the "near future."

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.

Our new Prime Minister claims to be a Roman Catholic, but will not sign nomination papers for any candidate who won't board the Abortion Express... which might be prove to be a tad awkward if he runs into the Pope somewhere down the road.

A new Islamic fatwa in Turkey has decreed that Muslims are allowed to use toilet paper. The Directorate of Religious Affairs for Turkey stated that the use of the material for hygiene is acceptable but water was preferable.

Neurologists who treat MS patients are appalled, saying her lobbying calls into question Duncan’s suitability as a neutral, dispassionate science czar. “This is the most curious appointment since Caligula named his horse as Consul,” said McGill University’s Dr. Michael Rasminsky.

“The idea that there is some kind of scientific conspiracy to stop good research from happening, or stop good research that doesn’t fit with convention from happening, I think is an unfortunate perception for someone who is now the science minister,” said Tim Caulfield, a health-policy professor at the University of Alberta.

Of course, there are at least two sides to every story, right?

Duncan will not comment for now on the criticism, said a spokeswoman this week.

But the story doesn't end there.

Unfortunately she didn't know that two other scientists, Jeffrey Taubenberger (pathologist) and Johan Hultin (virologist), had already got sufficient samples in Alaska—Hultin having made it to the same difficult region of Alaska in 1951.

In March of 1997 in Science News, there it was: “1918 Pandemic Virus Found.” A small sequence had been discovered by Jeffery Taubenberger. 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.

If only some bureaucrat...

...had an official, nicely watermarked piece of paper filed away in triplicate somewhere...

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."

Speaking of firearms, here's a question... if Justin Trudeau abolishes private ownership of guns in Canada... will he also do away with his expensive, armed to the teeth RCMP security detail?

My guess is, don't hold your breath.

RELATED: Something to consider

Serious sport shooters are out at the range every week. They are very often trained as Range Officers. Your average cop has to unholster his gun to qualify once a year. Most never shoot their weapons on duty.

Given the relatively rudimentary marksmanship required to euthanize an injured animal, these type of incidents rarely result in injuries to the public.

It's not just marksmanship at issue here. Obviously, very little thought was given to overshoot & ricochet.

Despite what you might think, the average line cop is much less proficient & safety conscious than your average hunter or target shooter.

So, if we're already in deficit...

...doesn't that just give the Liberals a running start? -- Strangely enough, it doesn't appear so...

"The new government has not yet committed to releasing a fall fiscal update."

Surely the party that is promising to run up a massive financial shortfall over the forseeable future isn't gonna go with "that evil Stephen Harper put us into deficit?"

Shouldn't they be praising him for implementing the Liberal platform?

The Liberals find a problem they can’t blame on Harper, and approve dumping 8 billion litres of raw sewage into the St. Lawrence, despite opposition from the U.S. and a 90,000-name petition opposing the plan. The Tories had blocked the plan, but c’mon, Montreal Mayor Denis Coderre is a Liberal.
