Geez, Jennifer...

...whaddaya gonna do now?
I shall now republish the Rev. Boissoin's words again.

I'm not publishing them to further any debate. I'm publishing them as a personal insult to Jennifer Lynch. And why not? Her continued employment on the taxpayers' dime is an insult to every Canadian who believes in equality before the law.

Here's the text again. It's legal for a Jew like me to publish it. It's illegal for a Christian like Rev. Boissoin to publish it.

That's sick.

UPDATE: The whitewash continues...
The Ottawa Police had asked the RCMP to investigate, when Bell Canada testified that the CHRC hacked into the Internet account of a private citizen. You can see the sworn testimony of Bell Canada's officer, Alain Monfette, describing the exact details of the hacking in this transcript, at pages 5645 and 5646.

This was the Warman v. Lemire hearing that the CHRC desperately tried have a publication ban on the proceedings.

No wonder.

Good news guys!

I hear the hooker lobby is already "hard at work"... on a government funded "fellatio coupon" initiative...
Should we be giving free heroin to addicts? Don't choke. Researchers in Vancouver say yes.

And they've just spent $8-million in public money to prove their case. Last month, after concluding a landmark clinical trial, they announced that the best way to treat hard-core heroin addicts is: Give them more heroin!

They argue that methadone, a much safer treatment, doesn't work with this crowd. But free heroin makes them happier, healthier and less inclined to steal so they can get their next fix.
Call me crazy... but how about we spend taxpayer dollars on folks who actually care if they live or die.

FROM THE COMMENTS:
"Personally I think if we are going to go this way we may as well have an island where we send any drug addict, and drop drugs by plane. It would probably reduce crime to a greater extent and harm addicts as much as any other government program proposed."

What momentous, life-changing issue...

"Perhaps Mr. Sit could file a human rights complaint against Ms. Ouwroulis. He could accuse her of racism (if 'Asian' is a race), and she could accuse him of ageism. I wonder which ism would trump the other, in this game of politically correct poker."
But of course... there's no comparable "man bites dog" story, like the sad, sad tale... of an aging stripper.
"She's an ageing woman; he's just an Asian man. I think he'd lose -- Asians don't do well in the grievance business. As a group, they're too successful to be 'victims'."

"But Ms. Ouwroulis? If she can just avoid trash talking blacks, gays or Jews or a little bit longer, I think she could be in the money."

"She sure thinks so."
A little background.

-- OTTAWA -- Former Ontario premier Bob Rae formally declared his candidacy for the leadership of the federal Liberal party on Thursday, saying he won't hide from the legacy of his recession-ravaged government of the 1990s.

Mr. Rae said he's proud of his performance as Ontario's NDP premier from 1990 to 1995, when he faced large deficits and labour unrest.
Oh, Boob... keep digging!

A Reader writes...

After numerous rounds of... "We don't even know if Osama is still alive"... Barack Obama is now telling everyone he will capture Osama Bin Laden when he takes office.

So, Osama himself decided to send Barack Obama a letter in his own handwriting, to let him know he was still in the game. Obama opened the letter and it contained a single line of coded message:

370H-SSV-0773H

Obama was baffled, so he e-mailed it to Howard Dean. Dean and the DNC and his aides had no clue either, so they sent it to Joe Biden . Joe Biden could not solve so it was sent to the FBI and the CIA .

Eventually they asked John McCain and his staff to look at it.

And within a few minutes McCain's Staff e-mailed Obama with this reply: "Tell Obama he's holding the message upside down."

Toronto is no stranger to murder. But even in a city that endured 84 homicides last year, anything more than a double killing is rare.

Here's a list of some of the multiple killings in the GTA and southwestern Ontario...

Canada's new heritage minister has ordered CBC executives to put a lid on their spending after revelations that a senior executive claimed $80,000 in a single year for theatre tickets, meals and travel.

"I am sure that you are sensitive to the fact that, at a time of fiscal restraint when Canadians are struggling to maintain their jobs and savings, this sort of reported excess does not sit well with them," James Moore wrote in a blunt letter to Timothy Casgrain, chairman of the board of directors of CBC.

Moore's public scolding yesterday followed revelations by Sun Media that Sylvain Lafrance, executive vice-president for French services at the CBC, expensed more than $28,000 on hotels, travel and meals in 2006.

That included almost $6,000 for lunches and dinners with other CBC managers. He also spent $7,500 on two business trips to Paris. And his in-office catering bill that year topped $15,000 and included beer, wine, pretzels and nachos for staff.

The spending was contained in documents released under the federal Access to Information law. The records also revealed Lafrance had signed off on $33,000 worth of benefit dinners and theatre tickets for Quebec-based cultural organizations.

A CBC spokesman told Sun Media this week the spending was "fully compliant with CBC corporate policy."
Wait a minute... that's OUR point.

"Al Qaeda used to be..."

...the kings of propaganda, outmaneuvering the American media machine at every turn. Now, it's clear the terror group's information operators have stumbled, big time.

The latest misstep: calling President-elect Barack Obama a 'house Negro.'

That's right. The guys who used to kill people, just to get their death on tape, have been reduced to name-calling.

Apparently, the next step here...

...is to pour gasoline on the Criminal Code of Canada... and throw a big party...
"If we can make sure, and assure the community, that the Don't Ask policy that exists is being implemented and uniformly enforced, then that itself provides a great deal of protection."

The board is set to receive a report on the petitions tomorrow and a report from the Don't Ask, Don't Tell working group.

In March 2007, the board gave the green light to police Chief Bill Blair to begin implementing a "Don't Ask" policy that would allow people without "legal status" to report crimes without fear of deportation.

The policy, an issue that was first raised three years ago, prevents cops from asking people about citizenship status, unless there are "bona fide" reasons to do so.
So long "rule of law"... it was nice to know you.

In New Delhi, Indian navy spokesman Commander Nirad Sinha admitted Wednesday it was possible the ship was hijacked but defended the INS Tabar's action, saying it was responding to pirates' threat to attack it.

Just another reason

-- TORONTO -- Toronto police have sealed off a street in the east end of the city where four bodies have been found inside a house.

Police, however, have not yet indicated if they are dealing with a quadruple homicide or if a suicide might be involved.
A quadruple suicide? Seriously?

My advice... get out while you can.

UPDATE: Looks like a family affair
Several neighbours said they saw police question and then arrest a man who they believe to be the common-law husband of Elizabeth, the couple's daughter – shortly after 8 a.m.

"He was standing across the street, leaning on the mailbox," said Rogers. "Then when the officers put him in handcuffs, he put his head down and broke down crying."

Elizabeth and her common-law husband lived together in Whitby, neighbours said.

UPDATE2: The mystery continues...
-- TORONTO -- A man detained and questioned by police after four bodies were found in a Toronto home has been released without charges.

Constable Tony Vella would not release the name of the man, who was led away from the scene in handcuffs on Wednesday.
And the latest...
The sister of the man who was arrested says he was the one who discovered the note on the door Wednesday morning.

The woman says her brother went to the house to check on his wife, who went to visit her parents the night before and didn't return phone calls.

It'll be a quiet morning...

...here at "the halls".

This morning we've got another another little side trip in our ongoing medical odyssey with Neophyte's stubborn ol' G-Dad.

This'll be our third trip out to faraway doctor-land in three days... but I think he's finally decided to stop fighting and just go with the flow. I figured it was gonna get ugly when I told him he was stuck out at our place at least into December... but things are starting to settle down.

It started out last Sunday when we got G-Dad to agree to come out here (we're a couple of hours down the road) and see the E.R. doc. Unfortunately, by the next morning, he had changed his octogenarian mind and requested that we just take him home. After frantically rooting around, we found someone with a glucometer... and he finally agreed to just do that.

The glucometer test was a tipping point... turns out the drug company blood sugar charts only go as high as 23... and "Mr I'm Just Fine"... was cresting 32. The fact that he's also skinny enough to blend in with all those pictures of starving African refugees and weak as a kitten was the icing on the cake. He can't even comfortably sit on an unpadded chair any more... it was that bad.

The cold, hard truth is, if we hadn't gone into Toronto this past weekend to check on him, he likely wouldn't have made it through the week. Thank goodness for Mrs N's intuition.

The sunny side, if there is such a thing here, about things being so far gone... was that the horrified look on the technician's face after taking the glucometer reading and his unequivocal recommendation of immediate medical intervention... was enough to break the logjam.

Of course, all that didn't stop G-Dad from grousing about the stupid hospital gown and fantasizing about fleeing the examining room when we were waiting for the tests to come back... but hell, I'm a "hate hospitals" kinda guy myself. Regardless... I stuck my sympathy in my back pocket... and told him Mrs N had his personal power of attorney and, like it or not, we were pulling rank on this one.

From that point on, we've had a much smoother ride... from the gratis glucometer session to the E.R. doc who got us in to see an internal medicine specialist on 18 hours notice. The specialist was just great (he was obviously booking us in on his lunch hour)... and we're back in the first week of December to discuss test results and progress.

So we're off early today for supplementary tests... meanwhile G-Dad's already on blood sugar meds and an iron supplement. Mrs N's also working on a proper diet. We've picked up our own glucometer and we'll start tracking the readings to make sure the meds are working.

Maybe we're gonna get a happy ending outta this after all.

Sad news for screamin' socialists

The Moonbat Express is runnin' right off the rails...
"After careful and thoughtful consideration, we have concluded that it is no longer possible to maintain the current 'status quo' of our company's operations," Fecan said in the memo.

In addition to a freeze on hiring across the network and on travel and entertainment spending, Fecan said there will be "some layoffs," though details were not included in the memo.
Hey... maybe Dalton's gonna have to come up with a couple thousand more "social worker" gigs... but even then, competitions gonna be tight.

Why they hate us

These researchers determined that "there are five psychological foundations of morality, which we label as harm/care, fairness/reciprocity, ingroup/loyalty, authority/respect, and purity/sanctity."

Conservative morality is based on some combination of all five of these moral foundations. There may not be an exact 20% input from each one, but they are all present.

Liberal morality is based on only the harm/care and fairness/reciprocity foundations.

WELCOME, YET AGAIN, READERS OF CANADIAN CYNIC

Sitemeter is tellin' me... he's baaa-aaack.

Apparently Censorious Cynic objects to anyone hearing about the recent rash of homicides in urban Ontario. Or maybe... since I have yet to see him freak out about the television and newspaper coverage... it's just me he objects to.

I suspect he's still just kinda touchy about this little gem.

You've also gotta love this guy's total lack of self-awareness as he tries to pin the "neo-nazi" tail... on another prominent conservative blogger.

Good grief.
