In contempt of democracy and the taxpayer

In contempt of democracy and the taxpayer. That is the historic tattoo branded on Mr. Harper's administration. We have had three consecutive deliberately fudged federal budgets: The first fudged by $10 billion dollars (the phoney sale of buildings), the second out $50 billion (the denial of the recession a year after it began sweeping the world) and the present budget that is wrong by about $40 billion (jets and mega prisons).

Statement by Prime Minister Stephen Harper at Rideau Hall

“Good morning. “In light of yesterday’s disappointing events I met with His Excellency the Governor General, and he has agreed that Parliament should be dissolved. “Before I say anything else, I would like to begin by thanking Canadians for the confidence and trust they have given me and my colleagues over the past five years.

Bilingualism Has Gone Too Far

This is about English as a second language in its truest form. In today's Canada, one has come to expect that as the leader of the separatist party the bloc from the nation of Quebec addresses any audience on TV he would speak french first, but when the PM speaks to the entire country from the house of commons regarding an election and the first half of his speech is in french followed by the leaders of both the liberals and NDP with the first half of their speeches in french you have to wonder what kind of respect they (THE POLITICIANS) have for what's left of English Canada.

Fool Proof.  Not.

Nothing is fool-proof, and there’s no shortage of fools to prove it.

U.S. Has Earth’s Largest Energy Resources

By Peter C Glover, Energy Tribune In case anyone missed it, let me repeat something that is of a magnitude of 10 on the scale of news-quakes for Joe Public USA: America’s combined energy resources are, according to a new report from the Congressional Research Service (CSR), the largest on earth. They eclipse Saudi Arabia (3rd), China (4th) and Canada (6th) combined – and that’s without including America’s shale oil deposits and, in the future, the potentially astronomic impact of methane hydrates.

What are the limits of Libyan War “evolving”, if any?

Defence Minister MacKay uses the term "evolving" as Canada's second foreign war grows in intensity. There is no agreement on command structure, on whether or not there will be on the ground combat and no exit strategy. Neither is the nature of those being supported to replace Ghadafi known.

Here we go again $$$

Well if PM Harper and the so-called “conservative” party have any brains this time around, they will forget about Quebec completely. He would have already had his majority had he not spent the last 5 years funnelling billions into the racist province (bills 22, 178, 101…) of Quebec. He is pandering to this province way to much, and has turned off many of his fiscal conservative base. A lot of us did not even vote last time.

An alien founding crusader without evidence

In Canberra for Wednesday's anti-carbon dioxide tax rally, I attended Lord Deben's evening lecture. M'Lord is said to have attended the birth of society's latest unfounded edition of climate fear—forecast supposed imminent, irreversible, catastrophic global warming due to carbon dioxide. Delightfully he praised economic development for reducing birth rates. Astoundingly, he ignored the crucial role of cheap, abundant, reliable, readily-accessible energy. It powers productivity that is the engine of economic development.

They’re Big, They’re Bald and They’re Back!

Hamilton, ON, March 21, 2011 - And it’s happening. Two young bald eagles have decided to settle down on a nesting site inside Royal Botanical Gardens property at Cootes Paradise. Could this couple be the first pair of bald eagles to raise Lake Ontario’s first home grown birds in decades? Egg incubation time is 30-40 days so that question will be answered very soon.
