The pathetic lamers at the “homeless tent city” set up to protest homelessness managed to get themselves a bit of media attention by grabbing my pal Matt Chamber’s iPhone and erasing his audio files.

A young woman later identified as Harsha Walia interrupted:

“Wait a minute– is that guy recording?” she asked, stepping into the circle.

I said [...]

Now comes word that last week, Ottawa told the United Nations it would no longer fund the world body’s Palestinian refugee agency. From now on, Canadian aid to Palestinians will be directed to specific projects. We will no longer give lump-sum aid to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the [...]

Would be to stand beside Lumpy, Grumpy and Frumpy to “Breach the Peace” next Friday as she shoos the anti-Zionist pests away.

And, yes, bringing Eddie Greenspan along might be a lot of fun. Sort of do the Annie Hall pull Marshall McLuhan from behind the poster routine.

(And, hey, Toronto police, how are you doing getting [...]

Venezuela’s President Hugo Chavez has announced that the national currency, the bolivar, will be devalued for the first time since 2005, by at least 17%.

The bolivar, whose rate is set by government decree, will be devalued from its current rate of 2.15 to the US dollar to 2.60 for “priority” imports.

However, the bolivar will be [...]

As The Wall Street Journal reported last week, the US government set out to have the H1N1 vaccine produced largely in single-dose syringes—a demand that has set back production considerably, because multidose vials are far easier to make.

And the only reason to seek single-dose production was to please people needlessly worried about the preservative [...]

Over at the Dawg’s knickers are in a twist over the commencement of:

With a flourish of trumpets, the portentously-named All-Party Canadian Parliamentary Coalition to Combat Antisemitism has begun its hearings. And by no coincidence an op-ed piece appeared in the Ottawa Citizen today, warning of the return of the “beast of anti-Semitism,” written by one [...]

Every so often I take a visit to MyBlawg (and then a shower). The left mind at work and all that. Dawg, compared to Robert McClelland is the soul of moderation.

For laughs pop over and watch Dawg, McClelland and the arch Jew baiter and 9/11 truther arthurdecco have at it.

Popcorn…check, beer…check

Here’s a hint to my new friends the Grits. This guy looks as though he is cadging change at my bottle store. Guys, Obama can do casual. He is brilliant at casual. The Count isn’t. Trudeau could do it, Iggy can’t. No problem. The CPC has had a bad suit issue for years; but don’t [...]

The Obama administration has backed away from its call to restore ousted Honduran President Manuel Zelaya to power and instead put the onus on him for taking ``provocative actions’’ that polarized his country and led to his overthrow on June 28.

The new position was contained in a letter this week to Sen. Richard Lugar, R-Ind., [...]

After making a complete ass of himself fronting the Canadian Islamic Congress’s BCHRT run at Macleans and Mark Steyn, Khurrum Awan, might have been wise to lie low and pretend to be someone else. I mean making a complete fool of yourself across Canada and calling the entire HRC regulation of speech into question would [...]

Our lefty friends have their panties in the proverbial bunch, are clutching their pearls (which is really getting a bit tired) and generally having hysterics about one of their own being constitutionally offside in Honduras. They have “been digging” and managed to entirely miss the fact that:

Honduras’s military acted under judicial orders in deposing President [...]

Good for the Tyee for printing Terry Glavin’s well sourced excoriation of the left and Iran. (And yes Dawg, I am still waiting for your first post.)

“After Venezuela’s president and left-wing icon Hugo Chavez rushed to Ahmadinejad’s side with regurgitations of the ayatollahs’ claims about shadowy imperialists, the pile-on was in full swing.

James Petras, a [...]

Good.

Kate points to the Washington Post’s economic compare and contrast of the US with Canada. Instapundit points to a Wall Street Journal article about how wealthy Americans are fleeing high tax states.

We all remember the Bush Deranged dolts who took to NPR, particularly after Bush’s second win, and piously announced they were moving to Canada [...]

Update: Dawg is now running a post where he is attempts to illuminate the standards he applies to his comments “I won’t tolerate racism here, for example. I won’t tolerate comments that make light of genocide.” He then goes on to state, “He reproduces Sri Lankan propaganda, claiming that the tens of thousands of Tamil [...]

Dr. Dawg drops the pomo, multi-cult thing and suggests that there is no cultural defence to murder.

It’s a start.

To nobody’s great surprise, President Ahmadinejad’s star-attraction speech in Geneva ended up being what French president Nicolas Sarkozy later called “an intolerable appeal for racist hatred.” The speech was in fact just more of Ahmadinejad’s usual anti-semitic rubbish. Eight countries were already boycotting the event, but the speech was enough to prompt delegates from another [...]

The sparks fly…How can Potter like that poopy head Ezra? It’s not about “hate speech, its about standards”...an entire comment thread of unctuous hilarity as the left hand doesn’t know what the other left hand is doing and how in holy blazes Ezra’s book is #2 on the best seller lists.

Taliban militants in Pakistan’s tribal region have decided to shelve plans to kill Canadian hostage Beverly Giesbrecht, but her captors are apparently still holding out for a ransom before releasing her. globe and mail

Go and vote the Liberal Party:

Huzzahs all round by the crowd when shout-outs were made to CAF and fellow travellers, Sid Ryan, CUPE and CUPW. The crowd was also pointedly advised that the pendulum has swung and they should be sure to vote Liberal as most grit party members now favoured the Palestinian cause over [...]
