Paying Attention

January 27, 2008 | Leave a Comment

Kaambakhsh’s case is at least getting some global attention now that the lower court verdict is in, but it certainly would be nice to hear some Canadian voices, particularly Stephen Harper’s and those of the Opposition leaders, raised in protest. Our soldiers are not dying in that country to safeguard this kind of tyranny. terry […]

First Denialist, now “Freespeecher”

January 27, 2008 | Leave a Comment

Mike Brock explains our horrendous position:
It’s the ultimate flaw in socialism. When the well-being of the collective is valued over the individual, the very value of the individual is decreased implicitly. The body politic justifies extermination of problematic or dangerous expression of ideas on the grounds that doing so serves “the common good”. This fundamentally […]

Dawg’s Breakfast

January 27, 2008 | Leave a Comment

Rational lefty Dr. Dawg is hosting a conversation about immigration to Canada at his blog. Check your prejudices at the door but do bring your thoughts as to whether mass immigration is a good thing, or a good thing for Canada. Do we need continuous mass immigration to maintain our economy? Is that fair to […]

Fedora Redux

January 25, 2008 | 6 Comments

Somehow I missed the fact that the wrong as she is delightful Antonia Zerbisias is back blogging at the Toronto Star.
I have yet to agree with a word the Zerb has written but I love her completely predictable, fact free, “in your face baby”, moon battery. If I am ever wondering where to go on […]

The Wall Comes Tumbling Down

January 24, 2008 | Leave a Comment

No one wanted to acknowledge that, along with the Israeli wall there was an Egyptian wall keeping the Gazian Palestinians in. Yesterday the Egyptian wall was knocked down.
Good or bad news? Well, from an Egyptian perspective the wall was an embarrassment. But it served the purpose of ensuring that the poor wretches in Gaza were […]

The liar Kinsella wants my address

January 24, 2008 | 24 Comments

And the silly man wants me to man up and post my home address on the internet. Having watched him melt down when Joan Tintor even hinted at where Kinsella hangs his hat I am sure Kinsella will understand if I don’t rush my address onto the net.
But the liar has my email address and […]

Warman Push Back

January 23, 2008 | Leave a Comment

The liar Kinsella posts a letter purportedly from the Canadian Jewish Congress re Warman:
We have done our own investigation into this matter. Considering the sources of the allegations and taken into account that Mr. Warman has specifically, under oath, denied that he authored the posting, we deem the allegation to be without basis. It is […]

Why the HRC fight is important

January 21, 2008 | 7 Comments

Dutch diplomats are already trying to pre-empt international reaction. ‘It is difficult to anticipate the content of the film, but freedom of expression doesn’t mean the right to offend,’ said Maxime Verhagen, the Foreign Minister, who was in Madrid to attend the Alliance of Civilisations, an international forum aimed at reducing tensions between the Islamic […]
