He who must not be linked has taken the first step in suing Ottawa Watch for libel. The offending graf is this rather inocuous passage (and yes Mr. K, I am republishing the alledged libel - I’d be happy to provide your gunsel with my address for service):
And they remember Kinsella was executive assistant to […]

Wither SSM

KMG does an interesting job interpreting Bouquets of Gray’s analysis of the electoral fortunes of pro and anti SSM candidates. It turns out that those fortunes were, more or less a wash with pro and anti being re-elected in much the same numbers.
Grace’s conclusion is:
If Canadians were so hell bent on punishing those known […]

A real military

I have yet to meet or serve with a Canadian soldier who failed to impress me with his professionalism and discipline. In my experience — in terms of individual, quality personnel — only Australian troops match Canadians on a one-for-one basis.
Two years ago, I had the privilege of serving with Australian troops in Iraq. The […]

Goodbye, Hello

While I would have no difficulty working with you or your government, it would be virtually impossible to establish the appearance of total confidence and support in a jurisdiction where political ambassadorial appointees traditionally resign immediately after an election.
Consequently, it is in the best interest of our nation that I submit to you my […]

The Zerb posts quoting the Western Standard (which is fun in itself):
Reporters on the Martin campaign seemed to become almost consumed with Liberal bungling. They began filing stories speculating that there might be a mole in the Liberal war room deliberately leaking stories to hurt Martin.the zerb

We are your Rural Overlords

Though it might distress some to see women still on the streets this morning, rest assured that it will not be long before they are back in their kitchens, fixing up recipes for fish and other foods associated with good breeding practises.

From Jim Bennett,
the Prime Minister’s office is a pretty good bully pulpit, and he would be smart to use it to start deconstructing the Trudeavean deconstruction of the old Canada. He should make sure the Canadian troops in Afghanistan are decorated in a visible and public ceremony, exactly what has been denied to […]

Harper really can’t undo much of that. Maybe it will be a quiet few months at least as he organizes our new rural overlords and teaches them that a moral majority means a majority that is made up of 36.7% of something.genx@40
