The Liberal Ring through their Nose

Blanco's Blog Normally I would not quote another journalist but in this case Kelly Mc Parland, NP Editor, National Post has written one of the best summaries of the current state of the Liberal Party of Canada and Mr. Ignatieff’s failing leadership. The full article can be seen on the National Post Website under the title: If Harper is scary, Ignatieff must be scarier, published May 19, 2010.

The Speaker of the Canadian Parliament plays Umpire

Peter Millikin, the Speaker of the House of Commons has ruled that the Conservative Government must make secret documents on Afghan detainees available without any censoring of the contents. He has given the government two weeks to hammer out a system acceptable to all parties, presumably designed so that secret and potentially damaging information will not become public.

Disgraceful Liberals lie and distort

Blanco's Blog It doesn’t matter whether it is the CBC stable of talking heads, the Toronto Star or its subsidiaries and their editorialists or the many journalists so familiar to us all that it makes one sick when they appear on virtually every panel or newscast.. These talking know-it-all types dominate the mass Lib-left “news” across Canada. Their ratio of anti-Harper and anti-Conservative rhetoric is 20 to 1 against. It is a disgusting fact of Canada’s unbalanced and distorted mass media.

They’re Krauts

My cat Precious looks so peaceful asleep on a soft comforter and tucked up against a rolled up blanket. When I opened up Blanco’s Blog and looked at the photo of the gun crew in my Blog’s header, the guys also looked so peaceful and relaxed. But if there is one thing the Germans were good at, it was the counter-attack. They didn’t leave you alone for very long if you bothered them.

Our Golden Olympics over – Back to the Future

The left wing mass media can’t wait for the renewal of their barrage of anti-military and anti-government rhetoric of the supposed ignoring of the possible torture of Afghan insurgent detainees. Unfortunately they have whipped up a form of hysteria among the public, especially among those who are already inclined to dislike the Harper government.

The Toronto Star and CBC betray the Canadian Public

Surely one of the key principles of the mass pubic media is to tell the citizens of Canada all of the facts and not engage in crass suppression or distortion of the truth. Previously, I wrote deploring the campaign waged by the Star and most of its journalists about the supposed criminal conspiracy of the Conservative government to suppress reports that Canadian troops had turned over Afghan prisoners to the Afghan prison system knowing that they would be tortured.

The War – Time is running out – The West must act

It is a shame that any journalist, writer, observer or politician must be very careful when beginning any serious debate on how this anti-Jihadist war is to be conducted, but we do need the debate and we do need to put all the facts on the table.

Copenhagen - We owe the Third World nothing

Years ago I was reluctant to contribute to the foreign mission box in my church because I felt we had no business interfering in the social-religious structure of backward and undeveloped countries in Africa and the world. I was about 12-years old at time.

The Liberal Toronto Star goes berserk

Over the last three print days the Toronto Star has mounted an unconscionable attack the Conservative government. Page after page of diatribe has been spewed out in an odorous belching against various officials of the government, the Canadian Army and anyone else that the Star could find to subject to their disgusting distortions of fact.

The Human Rights Crowd – Power & Money before Principle

When I came down the gangplank of the troopship in Halifax in November 1945, I was a proud 21-year old Canadian army veteran. If someone had told me then that my very own governments would take a wrecking ball and destroy almost all I fought for, I would never have dropped my weapons.

President Obama’s Thumb on the Scales of Justice

The United States of America doesn’t have illegitimate kangaroo courts like Canada. These travesties are run exclusively for the benefit of designated minorities, but the US has a very serious problem. They have elected a President that has no compunction in publicly pre judging a case involving a white policeman doing his job when a well known and well reputed citizen, who happens to be black, lets his preconceived notions of racial discrimination cause him to lose his temper.

The Odour the Quebec Albatross emanates from the Karlheinz Schreiber - Brian Mulroney Inquiry

Something is obviously wrong with the reporting of the mass media in respect to this inquiry. Their focus seems to be almost entirely on the somewhat frustrated and obviously tired Karlheinz Schreiber’s supposed failure to answer decades old details off- the-cuff. The antagonistic questioning of Mr. Schreiber by Richard Wolson doesn’t leave much room for the tale to be told in context. The tale is there, but the media isn’t listening.
