I will be on Vacation until August the 9th. Regular updates will resume at that time
In the mean time. Please use the links below to keep updated here, and in the U.S.A.
Have a GREAT Summer...

The Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team touched off a storm this week when it recommended for security reasons using browsers other than Microsoft Corp.'s Internet Explorer. The Microsoft browser, the government warned, cannot protect against vulnerabilities in its Internet Information Services (IIS) 5 server programs, which a team of hackers allegedly based in Russia has exploited with a Java script that is appended to Web sites. The particular virus initiated this week inserts Java script into certain Web sites. When users visit those sites, it initiates pop-up ads on home and office computers, and allows keystroke analysis of user information. The target is believed to be credit card numbers. CERT estimated that as many as tens of thousands of Web sites may be affected. CERT said vulnerabilities in IIS and IE could include MIME-type determination, the DHTML object model, the IE domain/zone security model and ActiveX scripts. Alternative browsers such as Mozilla or Netscape may not protect users, the agency warned, if those browsers invoke ActiveX control or HTML rendering engines.(If you value your private information, the U.S. Government suggests you dump IE, and 'Lookout' Express.. Mozzilla/NetScape is safer, but still has security problems. In most cases, if your stupid enough to 'open' and unknown attachment, you shouldn't be using a computer anyway! This new stuff that can load it-self is scary indeed.. People who produce these trojans and viruses should feel the full force of the law, and be imprisoned for YEARS .. The latest one is delivered through a pop-up ad that loads a file called "img1big.gif" onto your computer. More information can be seen here: Pop-Up Program Snatches Banking Passwords
PROOF: Kyoto Accord Based on JUNK SCIENCE
The NCPA report cites findings from five independent research groups that have uncovered serious problems with Mann and Jones' methodology and calculations, which call into question any of its conclusions. For example:  Several researchers found Mann and Jones made errors in the collection and use of varying data from multiple sources, used obsolete data, made incorrect calculations, associated data sets with incorrect geographical locations, inappropriately eliminated specific proxy records that they felt were inaccurate and employed statistical methods that removed long time period trends, such as the widely recognized Medieval Warm Period (about A.D. 800 to 1400) and the Little Ice Age (A.D. 1600 to 1850). Mann published a retraction in the June 2004 issue of Geophysical Research, in which he admits underestimating the temperature variations indicated by the proxy data by more than one-third since 1400, which accounts for why he missed the Little Ice Age. Strangely, Mann still argues this considerable error doesn't impact his conclusions.  Further, Legates found the "blade" (or sudden rise in temperature) of Mann's hockey stick could not be reproduced using common statistical techniques, or even employing the same techniques as Mann and Jones. "Mann's claims that human's have caused tremendous warming over the last 100 years and that the 1990s were the warmest decade are untenable," said Legates. "Looking at the data, the global warming scare appears to be merely 'Mann made' junk science."(Other than assuring a huge price drop in high sulphur coal, to be bought up and sold to the Chinese by organizations such as 'Power Corp.' (To which virtually everyone at the top of the liberal party has ties), the benefits of Kyoto are ZERO to ordinary people. It's ALL about continuing profits, the incessant mantra of the 'New World Order'. Concerted Local efforts to reduce emissions in cities where they are having a negative effect on peoples health are of far greater value than 'another pie-in-the-sky', liberal feel good drain on the economy. Local efforts would result in a faster organization of new industry created to solve problems and build equipment  to combat pollution on a case by case basis. Nothing will suck up money with no results, faster than a gaggle of politicians all desperately 'trying' to out do each other, while all the time, their pet bureaucrats are building up their own little kingdoms. A perfect example of this type of bureaucracy run wild, is the Canadian Gun Registry. Do you 'really want to see this scale of incompetence on a world wide level? A Challenge: Name ONE successful organization controlled by politicians, and run by bureaucrats, that actually produces results, while being cost effective? I rest my case!)
Public service still waiting for Martin's agenda
It turned out Mr. Martin thought less about ideas and more about mechanics. Mr. Alcock traumatized the mandarinate, ordering program reviews here and reorganizations there. Departments were restructured or recreated, with attendant chaos. Some of that chaos was creative -- the federal bureaucracy needs to be streamlined -- but chaos is still chaos. Then the sponsorship scandal broke, delaying the election and forcing the bureaucracy to sit around while the electorate decided who should be in government. Now, senior managers are preparing to implement the Liberal election platform, and some have concluded that the federal bureaucracy will play only a minor role. Mr. Martin has promised to reduce waiting lists for crucial medical services. He won't. At best, he will give provincial governments the money they need to fix their own health-care systems. He has promised to renew the stressed urban infrastructure. He won't. At best, he will transfer a portion of gas-tax revenue to cities so they can fix their own infrastructure. In one field after another, the feds are simply continuing the process of vacuuming up money and transferring it back to the jurisdictions that have the responsibility for running things. In the spheres of unquestioned federal power -- foreign affairs, defence and criminal law -- study follows study.(Nothing, but nothing will be Martins accomplishments in this impotent government. Which means one thing to all Canadians. The Liberals can no longer screw you with impunity. We're simply waiting for all their coffers to be refilled, so that we can finally continue with this election.)
International Gun Destruction Day marked across the world
July 9th:"Gun Destruction Day is a time when ordinary people across the world take positive action to tackle the gun problem head on. But with ten new guns produced for every one destroyed, ordinary people's efforts are being undermined by governments' refusal to act - a case of one-step forward ten steps back. Without an international Arms Trade Treaty, local efforts to address the problem will continue to be sabotaged by government inaction and guns will continue to get into the wrong hands" said Barbara Stocking, Director of Oxfam. "Every day millions of men, women, and children live in fear of armed violence. The proliferation of unregulated guns not only jeopardizes people's fundamental right to life, but also denies millions the right to a decent standard of living, health services and education. The global trade in arms must be brought under control," said Irene Khan, Secretary General of Amnesty International.(Well Son-of-a-Bitch.. I missed it...Looks like 'ol betsy' is safe for another year..  Perhaps if those  "millions of men, women, and children that live in fear of armed violence" were themselves armed, they would not have to live in fear. They live in fear because they feel helpless! why do they feel helpless? Because the authorities that keep them defenceless do not have the means, or the desire to protect them. Perpetual fear is guaranteed to keep the peasants under control, and the governments in command. Even in Canada, the police do not 'have' to even show up for a 911 call. The government does its very best to keep you defenceless, and basically ignores your constitutional RIGHT to security of the 'person'. The police have no mandate to protect your personal ass, and the government will do all it can to prevent you from obtaining the means to do it yourself.. Welcome to the 'New World Order')
Stephen Harper's next move
Last week, Stephen Harper delivered two pieces of encouraging news at the Conservatives' first post-election caucus meeting. First, he will likely stay on as leader -- a welcome decision following his strong campaign effort and the exemplary work to unite the right that preceded it. And second, he intends to soften the party's edges by giving former Progressive Conservatives a bigger role and shifting the party a little closer to the centre. But Mr. Harper, himself firmly on the right, is unlikely to reposition the Conservatives as a collection of bland centrists. Rather, we suspect he's merely talking about shaving off some of the party's remaining rough edges, broadening its core support base and doing a better job of communicating its message. And on all of these fronts, change is needed. Still, perceptions linger. Last month's election results showed that too many voters east of Manitoba still think Mr. Harper's party is a collection of socially conservative Western-based populists. For the Conservatives and their supporters, it is tempting to blame voters for their misperceptions. But to do so is self-defeating: It is the job of political parties to sell themselves to the electorate -- so rather than stewing over the lack of buyers, the Conservatives must now consider how to improve their sales pitch. (The best chance we have, for as close to an honest government as politically possible, is to uncover ALL the dirt the Liberals have hidden over the last 11 years. All the graft., All the corruption., All  the kickbacks., and All the waste,  hidden from the public eye. When enough skeletons are pulled out of enough closets, only 'then' will Toronto, and the East coast say enough is enough.. But then again, that's assuming Toronto and the east, don't get sucked in by even 'more' liberals lies and scare tactics).
INFORMATION COMMISSIONER SLAMS
JUSTICE DEPARTMENT RECORD KEEPING ON
GUN REGISTRY POLLING CONTRACT
First, let me say that, although the contract was not yet completed at the time you made your request, to this day there has been no written report produced by PPF to Jus under this contract. [emphasis added]  As for correspondence, our investigation determined that only one e-mail exchanged between PPF and Jus, and one invoice, still exist.  They were disclosed to you on March 15, 2004.Jus claimed that no written report was produced because PPF was hired to review the methodology and final estimates used by GPC International Research in conducting two national surveys to determine the number of Canadian firearm owners.  However, the contract also stipulates that PPF was to report the findings to the Chief Executive Officer of the Canadian Firearms Centre, then reporting to Jus.  In this regard, we interviewed officials and consultants to understand how the reporting had been done.  It was demonstrated that meetings took place and documents were exchanged between PPF and GPC.  The Department of Justice has not received or required PPF or GPC to provide it with copies of these documents. [emphasis added]
May I say that I found the record-keeping practices, associated with the administration by Justice Canada of the contract at issue, to be unprofessional and inadequate for purposes of accountability, prudent management and facilitation of access rights. [emphasis added] I will inform the department of my views in this regard.(Well Paul? Explain 'THIS' or shut the whole mess down!)
Federal parties mull effect of empty pockets
OTTAWA - With the federal election just over, party workers will have to scramble to recover financially before another election call, probably within the next two years. New financing rules that prohibit big donations from businesses, unions and wealthy individuals will make their job much harder. But Steven MacKinnon, the Liberals' new director, said the party is finding new ways to raise money through many small individual donations rather a few big ones. MacKinnon knows party officials have to work quickly because minority governments are known to be unstable and leaders could get restless to leap into a new election. (Well, I thought the liberals had already solved this problem by getting their buddies in the big ad agencies to tell their employees to make 'personal' donations, and then the companies would reimburse them.. It worked last time around.. I wonder when the liberals will start repaying all that dirty money they said they weren't campaigning on? See any pigs flying yet?)
Lacombe to run for Alberta Alliance
Edmonton - A former sergeant-at-arms is looking to return to the legislature, as an MLA.
Oscar Lacombe, who made a public stand against the federal gun registry, says he wants to run for the Alberta Alliance party in the next provincial election. Lacombe, 75, says he will run in Lac La Biche-St. Paul, a riding now represented by Conservative Ray Danyluk. The Korean war vet was found guilty of carrying an unregistered and unlicensed firearm and of bringing a weapon to a public meeting, after he brought a rifle, wrapped in plastic and with the bolt removed, to an anti-gun registry rally on Jan. 1, 2003.(The firearms act would be unable to withstand a constitutional challenge, that's why he was convicted under the criminal code instead. The Liberals do not have the guts to let this stupid stupid law face a constitutional challenge, not while they can simply keep on using it as a threat )
The Martin Ferriers of the prison system
And what of the other Martin Ferriers? Of those held until the last possible day of their federal prison terms and released between 1988 and 1992, roughly 48 per cent landed back in federal prison. (The National Parole Board has no figures on how many received provincial terms.) Of those released in 1999-2000, 20 per cent are already back in federal prison. There is no easy answer for this difficult group of felons. Should there be some way, after they have paid their court-ordered debt to society, of tagging them as dangerous offenders and holding them indefinitely? The retroactivity is a problem; it is preferable to leave that Draconian power where it is now, in the hands of judges at sentencing time. Should they be forced to take treatment? The treatment seems unlikely to work if it is against their will. Better to insist on tough sentences, including the judicious use of indefinite incarceration and long-term post-prison conditions, and better social supports, away from residential communities. That would be a start for Martin Ferrier, and for those like him.(Harper and the Conservatives promoted a three strikes and your out policy. But liberals feel there is no such thing a a real criminal, only 'misunderstood individuals in need of rehabilitation'. The vast majority of crimes are committed by previous felons, yet the liberals spent  1-2 billion dollars controlling duck hunters(????)  That money alone could have built several prisons and kept this trash off the street. For those of you that are not killed over the next 18 months or so by released felons, maybe the 'next' election will reveal a willingness for 'real' change!)
Bureaucratic bungling knows no limits
What does it take to get fired in government? At City Hall, bureaucrats slip through a $24-million provision for their own pay raises despite city council's belief it was looking at bare-bones figures. At Queen's Park, cabinet approves 3% social services increases, only to be told the $500-million computer system purchased by bureaucrats can't handle routine payment increases. On Parliament Hill, the gun registry runs 1,000% over budget, but the senior managers receive promotions and bonuses. Yet the mayor, premier and prime minister so far show more interest in managing the public relations fallout than fixing the problems. Dalton McGuinty has become so synonymous with broken promises that many voters think his government is responsible for the latest provincial screw-up. (It has been said, that the 'only' way to get fired from a federal government job, is to get caught screwing the Prime Minister's secretary, on the Prime Minister's desk, when it 'his' turn! And it looks like that might not be too far from the truth)
Growing Nuisance Bear Problem
Wandering, hungry bears, a nuisance that used to be confined mainly to rural areas and campsites, is shaping up to be a bigger problem this summer in Northern Ontario. The O.P.P say they're seeing a jump in calls about nuisance bears and the MNR says it's received more than six-thousand calls since April on it's new bear hotline. Hunters blame the government and the cancellation of the spring bear hunt five years ago. They say it's a public safety issue, not one of wildlife management. But provincial officials say that's not necessarily the case. A spokesman for the MNR says the bear population hasn't increased much over the last few years. (Bears shot in towns that have never had bears before, 6000 calls to a nuisance bears hotline since april, advertisements in newspapers telling people to protect their garbage from bears.. All of this stuff never, or hardly ever happened prior to the spring hunt cancellation for purely political reasons.  If the bear population has not increased much over the last few years, why have the bear complaints suddenly skyrocketed, and just were did the 15,000 or more bears that did 'not' get shot over the last five years go? Someone at the MNR has their head up their ass, and until some city politician gets attacked in Queens Park, DownTown Toronto we can only expect the bewildering  'denial' of a very real problem will continue until the 'human' body count starts to rise. People will die, simply because the government does not want to face the truth and embarrassment of hearing "I told you so")
Electronic democracy
Typing your name, postal code and SIN number onto the computer ballot should be all that is necessary to identify you. Sure, critics will say all of that can be stolen, but who would be bothered just to vote? Stealing credit card information is understandable in a world driven by money, but who wants to steal your vote for a politician? (A power at any cost Liberal would think nothing of stealing a vote) It would be interesting to see how effective internet voting might be. We can pick any topic and sample what the public is really thinking as compared to what the politicians tell us we are thinking. We could take the hot topic of the Gun Registry for example. Liberals told us it was what the majority desired and would cost us only $2-million. We know it is soon going to cost us $2-billion. It also cost the Liberals many votes. But do they want to know what the people think?
Let’s try a sample for them. Here’s the question: “Do you think the Gun Registry should be terminated?” Yes or No? You can e-mail me and I’ll pass it on to Paul Martin. Just send your answer to: editor@communitypress-online.com (This has been done a hundred times before, Paul Martin didn't even listen to the people he  'hired' to make recommendations regarding the gun registry, I wouldn't expect them to listen to any informal poll..What the hell, one more wont hurt!) 
Bullfrog explosion plaguing B.C.
LANGLEY, BC - American bullfrogs as big as chickens are multiplying rapidly in British Columbia, causing headaches for homeowners and environmentalists trying to control the population. The frogs were imported into the province in the 1930s to supply restaurants with gourmet frogs' legs. When the industry failed, the frogs were released into the wild and caused no problem for decades. In the past 15 years, though, they started to breed rapidly, take over habitat throughout the southwest B.C. and devour native frogs to the point where the red-legged frog is now an endangered species.(What's the problem? Buy your kid a good pellet gun, and he or she can sit on the bank of a pond for hours picking off frogs! A .22 could cause a dangerous ricochet that can travel for quite a distance, but a good BB gun or Pellet gun drops that risk to virtually zero, particularly when shooting at a steep angle.. Low noise, and dead frogs! what more could you ask for.. Of course, if you stick a straw up their ass and inflate them, they also make great foot balls..The smaller ones? Tennis balls... Oooooo look at that PETA lady cringe!!!!)
Controversial criminal sent back to prison
BRAMPTON, ONT. - A repeat sex offender was sent back to prison Wednesday, just one day after being released amid community outrage and warnings that he was likely to commit another violent crime.
A tearful Martin Ferrier, 31, pleaded guilty to breaching conditions attached to his release in Brampton, Ont., and uttering death threats against a reporter. Ferrier's most recent 28-month prison stretch was for threatening his former brother-in-law. During his time in jail, police said he was convicted of using a weapon to assault another inmate. Before his release, his mother, Judy Perry, had begged corrections officials to keep her son incarcerated for the sake of the public. Correctional Services Canada has no power to do that after an inmate's full sentence has expired. "I think this will allow me two more years to lobby the attorney general to have the laws changed," Perry said. "Now we have two years to do this. So let's get on it." (As long as the liberals are in power, freak shows like this will be common. Harper wanted a 'three strikes and your in for good' law, but good old Ontario kept believing Liberal lies and attack ads, and voted for more of the same... Live with it!!!)
Patrolling Toronto police officer shot
  TORONTO - A Toronto police officer underwent surgery Thursday morning after he was shot while on routine patrol in the city's west end. "There was an exchange of gunfire between the suspect and the police officer and the officer was struck a number of times," Police Chief Julian Fantino said outside St. Michael's Hospital, where both men were being treated for non-life-threatening injuries. A second suspect, a woman, was also taken into custody after the 1 a.m. incident on a dead-end street, he said. The shooting is being investigated by the province's Special Investigations Unit, a civilian agency that investigates circumstances involving police and civilians which have resulted in serious injury, sexual assault or death.  (No doubt, they will consult the registry and find out how this criminal got a licence to own a handgun, as well as getting it registered. After all, the registry was put into place to prevent criminals from buying guns.. I wonder why the whole thing is just not working.. Do you suppose the criminals are 'brash' enough to flaunt the law and 'not' licence or register their guns? That's just not what Allan Rock promised us when he concocted this farce is it? Police Officers that work for Police Chiefs that support this farce ought to think about that while their crawling to safety under the hail  of gunfire NOT coming from a local duck hunter!!)
Deal lets Ontario Métis hunt, fish freely
THUNDER BAY, ONT. - After months of talks, Ontario's Métis reached a deal with the provincial government Wednesday that will allow them to hunt and fish more freely. From now on, the Ministry of Natural Resources will recognize the use of Métis licences known as "harvester certificates," which will prevent hunters from being charged or having their game or weapons confiscated during a hunt. They will not be able to sell the game they catch, however. Similar rules will apply to Métis who fish for their own use, even out of season. (Oh joy!! Will the jubilation ever cease... Now, they can simply be arrested for not registering their firearms, and if they don't have a licence, they can't 'legally' get ammunition anyway.. Looks like the freedom to throw rocks, or bow hunt forOntario Métis)
Firearms are our weapons of mass destruction
A 'Fine' Display of  Anti Gun, Ignorant propaganda from the Journal Times
Gun law history Most Americans don't realize that gun control laws were first created to keep black people powerless and enslaved. This continued after the Civil War, when more laws were passed to prevent Blacks, freed slaves, from getting guns. The passage of the "Black Codes" of 1865 were laws limiting the rights of blacks, after slavery was abolished. These Black Codes were the first gun control laws of the country. They were meant to prevent blacks from owning firearms. Other such laws followed, all aimed at preventing blacks from owning or obtaining guns. The term "Saturday Night Special," which refers to a small cheap pistol, comes from the racist epithet "Niggertown Saturday Night," an early 20th century derogatory term, used to refer to blacks who came to town to revel on Saturday nights, after a hard week's work in the fields. Law is needed I guess gun control laws were needed for blacks, but are not now needed for whites. In light of the evidence of the out-of-control gun homicide epidemic in this nation. A well-regulated national centrally administered gun control law is warranted and necessary. Such legislation has proven successful in Canada, England, Japan, Australia and other industrialized nations. It would also be effective in this nation, over a period of time. Although there would not be instant success, it would be a step in the right direction, toward stemming the tide in an attempt to abate this on-going national blood bath. The administration and our elected officials in Washington, continue to either, remain silent, reject or fight every attempt or piece of legislation that is aimed at at national gun control, that comes before them. They continue to be beholding to and remain to be held hostage by the notorious infamous National Rifle Association and their political contributions. Joe Harris is a longtime community activist and a Kenosha Jobs Service supervisor.(Joe Harris obviously knows sweet bugger all about crime in the U.S., and other countries as well. He doesn't know that as violent crimes in the U.S.A. are decreasing year by year as the ownership of firearms increases year by year. He also doesn't know that the violent crime rates of every other country he mentioned as examples of 'good gun control' has now surpassed the violent crime rates of the U.S.A. Why? because 'victims' are almost always defenceless in those countries. When was the last time you heard the term "Armed Victim"? States that has passed concealed carry laws, have in every case, seen their violent crime rate decrease. While cities that enforce strict gun laws such as Washington D.C. ,Chicago, and New York have seen large increases, particularly Washington D.C. which has a total gun ban.. There's nothing like an unarmed victim to make the criminals life easier, because now, crime IS beginning to pay! I wonder if Alan Rock was aware of the Racist term as he referred to a "Saturday Night Special". Probably was, after all the whole law is rather demeaning and divisive)
Smashing gang bigger deal than coke seizure
Monday's $18-million cocaine seizure off the Eastern Shore wasn't the RCMP's biggest catch that day, say Quebec Mounties. The head of the force's criminal operations in Quebec said arrests made in the case smashed a gang whose main function was to bring drugs to Canada for others to sell. (Things that make you go Hmmmm: Of course, one has to compare this to 'another' drug seizure. The one from one of Paul Martins Ships, where leaving it alone could have Smashed a 'bigger' gang that came to retrieve it.. But alas, this 'could' have been an embarrassment for our P.M. so, invoking the double standard of our Canadian liberal Just-Us system, a decision was made to retrieve the drugs, and forgo trying to capture the smugglers when 'they' tried to retrieve them.. Hmmmm... I wonder why?)
Provinces strive to avoid Ontario-style welfare glitch
Two provinces say they have opted to stay with mainframe technology rather than push ahead with a welfare system upgrade like the one that has come back to haunt Ontario. The province of Ontario has experienced numerous difficulties with a system that was contract-built by Accenture Canada. Mostly recently, the system was unable to calculate a three per cent across-the-board increase in the cheques sent out to the province's eligible welfare recipients.In the wake of Ontario's welfare problems and the billion-dollar federal gun registry boondoogle, the "era of mega-systems development" may be over, he said. Projects that are delivered in pieces over months rather than in builds that require years may be the next logical step.(It all boils down to 'garbage in - garbage out' poorly designed systems, and how much money can be made by the supplier, for as little work as possible. Years ago, I designed a system that would track and record information on thousands of commercial divers working in federal waters, with as many as 40 separate fields per individual, on three different certification levels. This entire database written entirely in 'C' could run on a desktop or laptop computer, 15 years ago, and it worked well. 99.999% of the computer problems governments encounter, are because of poor communication of needs and design, by over bloated bureaucrats that don't know nearly as much as they would like you to think they do.. Some of them are downright morons, with no concept of data manipulation. They only understand 'manipulation' Unfortunately, bureaucrats 'run' this country by building up their little personal 'kingdoms' and fooling elected ministers into thinking they are actually smart enough to do their job. )
Ontario voters misinformed, says MP
Dale Johnston, winner of the June 28 federal election for the Wetaskiwin riding, which the Lacombe area is part of, says the Conservative Party of Canada lost voters in Ontario because of false accusations made by the Liberals… "I was a bit disappointed in Ontario," said Johnston a day after the election. "It’s fair to say the electorate made their decisions on misinformation." He was referring to an attack-ad campaign by Liberals that branded Conservative leader Stephen Harper as a right-wing extremist who would send soldiers to Iraq, ruin health care and weaken gun laws. "My problem with all of that is there is absolutely nothing to substantiate all of these rumours," said Johnston. "If you’re determined to vilify somebody, all you have to do is create concern or doubt." He said Ontarians need only see more of his party to be convinced of the truth, something he said the Conservatives didn’t have time to do since the election was called just half a year after the party was formed. "We did not have time to have a policy convention," said Johnston, noting that resulting media attention would have showed the party’s true colours. Technically, a federal election was not required until November 2005, but Johnston said Prime Minister Paul Martin had two things in mind when he opted to call one early.First, he said, Martin wanted to catch the Conservatives unprepared. Second, he figured Martin was afraid the sponsorship scandal, involving millions of misspent tax dollars during Jean Chrétien’s time in office, would only get bigger.(To a liberal, It doesn't matter 'what' you say during an election, McGuinty has proven that! The Ontario 'urban sheeple' will believe just about anything.. Of course, the Liberals were bound to bring up the old bullshit about a "hidden agenda" when in fact the last 3 election have shown the only party with 'hidden agendas' ARE the Liberals. Catch them un prepared, and lie through your teeth. Advice every liberal takes to heart. How long do you think were going to have to wait, for Martin's party to pay back the money stolen from Canadian Taxpayers? How long do you think it will be before the 'next' liberal scandal is discovered? How many times do Ontario voters have to be kicked in the ass before they smarten up? )
Granny, get your gun
Sydney - A pistol-packing grandmother is set to become Australia's oldest Olympian in 28 years after earning selection in the shooting team for the Athens Games. At an age when many of her contemporaries are starting to slow down, 56-year-old Annette Woodward has her finger on the trigger and her sights set on Olympic gold. "I think it just shows what self-belief can do," Woodward said. "Because of my age I didn't really think I could make the team so I'm pretty pleased with what I've done." Woodward's selection for the 25-metre pistol event for Athens was as remarkable as it was unlikely. Not only did she come out of retirement to make the team, but she will also become the oldest person to represent Australia at an Olympics since equestrian Bill Roycroft won a three-day event bronze medal at Montreal in 1976 aged 61. A mother of six, Woodward had never held a gun, let alone fired one, when she suddenly became interested in the sport after watching the 52-year-old Patricia Dench win bronze at the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles.(This 'must' be a bit of a embarrassment for an Australian government, that has gone out of it's way to paint guns and their owners as nothing but potential murderers to be strictly controlled!)
The Michael Moore Test
George W. Bush has rarely, if ever, said a discouraging word about Hollywood, but Hollywood is unloading every gun and bomb bay on George W. Bush. Earlier in the summer, we had the cartoonish science-fiction film The Day After Tomorrow, in which the clueless Bush stand-in president somehow freezes from global warming, and the Cheney stand-in vice president confesses he should have listened to the Greenpeace gang, for they have all knowledge and wisdom. At least that malarkey was pitched as fiction, raising further questions about Al Gore's political sanity for roundly endorsing it. The main exhibit now is Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9-11, a film full of flagrant fouls on the facts, posing as a nonfiction documentary. In Moore's alternative universe, President Bush went to war not to fight terrorism, but for oil riches. He went to war not to defend America's honor and security, but to enrich defense contractors and keep the poor people in the ghetto (or exploit them as cannon fodder). He went to war not to defeat Osama bin Laden, but as a monstrously cynical wink-wink deal between the Bush family and the bin Laden family. How inaccurate is it? Entire corporate dairy farms don't have this much manure. Moore critics could write a book the size of a dictionary chronicling the second-by-second lying and fact-mangling in this movie, starting from the very first minutes in which Moore suggests Bush couldn't get anything passed in his first eight months in office. (Major tax cut, anyone?) On and on the conspiracies tumble out, yet surprisingly he leaves out his best one: the theory that Bush has Osama stowed in some Saudi attic for safe-keeping.(As long as the general public remains gullible to liberal manipulation, crap like this will continue to flow. I'm surprised that Moore did not include the Roswell Aliens Bush has had hidden in the family barn for more than 50 years, or the man with the 'hook' discussed over campfires for generations was non other than a Bush family member they just don't talk about ..And what about all those times it rained 'frogs'? A 'obvious' case of weather tampering by the Republicans!(Here's the best example I have seen to date of of typical liberal paranoia) )
`No money' for quick election
Liberals, Tories owe almost $1 million in vote subsidies
OTTAWA—Neither the Liberals nor the Conservatives are likely to be in a hurry to force another election any time soon, as both parties' finances have been undermined by a quirk in the new election rules. Lower than expected vote totals in the June 28 election mean the Liberals will have to repay about $260,000 to the federal treasury, while the Conservatives will owe about $690,000. Both parties must pay by year-end. "When people said after (the election) that there would be another election within six months or a year, I said, `Nonsense,'" one senior Liberal organizer said. "There's not going to be an election because there's not going to be any money."(Any guess as to where all that Adscam kickback money is going to go? Once the liberals have paid back their 260k, look for another election to pop up while the conservitives are still in debt, and unable to 'really' fight back.. Remember the liberal motto folks: "Power at any cost"!)
Canada Will Recount Votes in Ontario District; Liberal May Gain
July 6 (Bloomberg) - Canadian officials will recount ballots in an Ontario district where a candidate for the governing Liberal Party lost in last week's election. Elections Canada said late yesterday that results show the winner, Gary Goodyear of the Conservative Party, won by 228 votes, equivalent to less than 0.5 percent of the 51,838 ballots cast in the district of Cambridge, southwest of Toronto. Liberal candidate Janko Peric, who came in second with 18,912 votes, requested a recount, the agency said in a CCNMatthews release. Goodyear garnered 19,140 votes. The recount will begin today. The Liberals, led by Prime Minister Paul Martin, lost their governing majority in the election. Gaining one seat in Canada's House of Commons would give the party enough votes to pass bills with the support of the New Democratic Party. (Sounds like 'another' ballot box 'may' mysteriously be found, (Anne McLellan, with experience in this, is probably helping them look) giving another liberal much sought after trough privileges! )
