While I have, of late, been opining about the state of politics south of the 49th, Larry, Shep and Moe snuck up on us all with a power grab move that can only be likened to Zimbabwe’s senile leader Robert Mugabe’s theft of an election in which he had been defeated.
For our readers in the U.S., Canada has just gone through a federal election. In that election the Incumbent Prime Minister Stephen Harper, picked up additional seats from the erstwhile ruling party, known as the Liberals. We have, in this country, a socialist party called the New Democratic Party or NDP. Now the NDP is made up of socialists who have not yet twigged to the fact that they do not know how to govern. In fact, whenever they were in power provincially, they managed to do nothing more than destroy the economies of those jurisdictions.

Bill now devotes his time to his media/communications consulting firm while fighting for time to pursue freelance writing assignments, promote television projects and create the odd movie script.
Sitting out here on the “Wet Coast” I have been watching policing events unfold in my home province of Ontario, and more specifically Caledonia, with increasing alarm and trepidation.
I have been following the violent, unchallenged takeover of that community by Mohawk natives from the Six Nations Reserve in 2006 combined with government and police abdication of their duties to Caledonia residents. While I say community, I realize it is a housing development that was seized.
It should come as a surprise to no one that accused murderer Ryan Alexander Jenkins has returned to his home country of Canada.
You see, as soon as Ryan crossed the border he entered a country that will spare no expense to make sure he is never properly punished for the crime of which he is accused should he ever face trial and be convicted in the United States.
For the past several years the Liberals, NDP and the Bloc have been spewing virulent anti-American rhetoric at every opportunity. Individually they championed reducing trade with our American brethren, using our energy as a weapon, criticizing their standing up to Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein.
