Heard it on the radio this AM. 

You are not alone maam, you are not alone in this democracy.

“I believe that if you voluntarily take an innocent life … you should forfeit your own,” deDelley told a Winnipeg newspaper yesterday.

DeDelley’s son, Tim McLean, a 22-year-old carnival worker, was asleep on the bus near Portage la Prairie, Man., when he was randomly attacked, stabbed to death and then beheaded.

Aw nuts, we won

By Andrew Coyne In the matter of Elmasry and Habib v. Roger’s [sic] Publishing and MacQueen (No. 4), heard before the British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal this past June:

More comment to follow once I’ve read the thing, but be clear on this: it is no victory to be told by a shadowy government agency that you will be permitted to publish. This ruling only preserves the tribunal from utterly discrediting itself, and as such keeps alive the possibility that some other complainant can drag Maclean’s or any other media organization through yet another travesty half-a-continent away, at great expense of time and money. It also prevents Maclean’s from appealing the tribunal’s decision to an actual court, wherein it might have had the relevant section of the B.C. human rights laws thrown out on constitutional grounds. (Or does it? Can you appeal when you win?)

So the real fight, that of returning our human rights laws to their original purpose, and permanently clipping the wings of the human rights commissioners, will have to be won in the political arena. Until that day…

NOTE: The foregoing represents the views of the writer only, and should not be mistaken for those of Rogers or Maclean’s, their management, employees, lawyers, shareholders, window-cleaners or bonded couriers.

They might rule he’s being sarcastic when he says window cleaners.

H/t the unleading blog SDA

Im not a lawyer but here goes anyway

1. The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees the rights and freedoms set out in it subject only to such reasonable limits prescribed by law as can be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society.

Now how many dollars did it cost to be set innocent. If Andrew wants a lawsuit it should be for damages. Is the bill they ran up reasonable in a free and just society where you pay damages when innocent?

7. Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of the person and the right not to be deprived thereof except in accordance with the principles of fundamental justice.

Is your liberty not deprived when you have no recompense for your bills.

8. Everyone has the right to be secure against unreasonable search or seizure.

Is it reasonable to send someone to BC for a trial when theres a CHRC to rule them all.

under section 11
d) to be presumed innocent until proven guilty according to law in a fair and public hearing by an independent and impartial tribunal;

How can they be considered impartial when no che gueverra supporter or any one wearing a commie tshirt has ever been charged. They practice racist hiring against white males and sue people for having too many is Steyn not whiteish?

12. Everyone has the right not to be subjected to any cruel and unusual treatment or punishment.

What else is making someone pay 100,000 or more for being innocent?

If you don’t care vote Dion.

But Britain, which once ranked in the top five, has slipped to 44th place behind El Salvador and Peru, after a 50 billion pound ($86.5 billion) pledge this week by the government to bolster bank balance sheets.

Say no more, Good thing we limit how much credit banks can give out, and that we’ve now increased how much people can put down and the budget being balanced helps, we’re in immesurable better shape than if we had carried through with Chretiens 3% of GDP nonsense.

So sayeth the Globe and Mail.

I could point you to the article the above endorsement is taken from but the Harper Derangement Syndrome in the comments is more fun.

the globe and mail 

Who should they endorse, Layton? Dion who should charge newspapers hefty carbon taxes.  Oh and click on the globe’s add’s eh.

Why don’t they want Dions 4.00/l gas in tough economic times I wonder? 

You think it’s ok for men to wear pink.

You think you became alive 9 months after you were conceived and others who are premies did so after 5 months.

You think it’s ok for men to wear earrings.

You wear perfume just like women,

You think men can put something other than shampoo in their hair.

You think gutless cowards, with their tails perpetually, between their legs, are, get this, manly.

You have a Che the Butcher Gueverra T shirt that you wear to so called peace rallies.

You like every culture in the world more than yours no matter how many of them would execute you.

You wear more  jewelry than most women.

The time you spend shopping for clothes is comparable to Imelda  Marcos.

You often wear a CBC button.

You  think commies who kill tens of millions are cool and George Bush who will not make himself dictator for life or open death camps,  is an actual tyrant.

The sad thing is this isn’t SNL,

So if Harpers bad for not doing enough, Dion would stumble and bump like a pinball in Roger Daltries machine. Run yell the “sky is falling” but never actually do anything worth while. He could mention we have a pretty solid banking system so maybe when Harper raised the down payment needed from the Liberal 0% to Harpers 5% to buy as house that the work was done already averting a crisis.

Vote Dion LOL,…

Why Dion? I’ll give you three chances,

Little rabbit foo foo I don’t like your attitude

I’ll give you three chances,…

I don’t know how the rest of it goes, still lil rabbit foo foo would like to bop someone in the head!

Who needs doctors when the government can spend your money on this.

The above poem was on a Winnipeg bus though not the 61, now I think it’s funny people would even call this a poem it doesn’t rhyme unless I’m totally missing something but I dropped a line where they do on the bus and none of the writings from the Manitoba writers guild rhyme.  I mean I like some of shakespeares often I’m too far removed from the language of aulde. His all rhyme, these ones on the bus might be literature but IMHO they are not poetry.

I’m willing to bet that in 500 years that no one will remember any of our moderne tax subsidized artists. But someone somewhere will still be reading shakespears in 500 years because he’s brilliant.  I think the reason for this is the tax funded types suck.  wopuld you want Meira to send you a love letter or someone who starts roses are red????  funny so many artists are selling paintings in malls I wonder how many of them get grants?  I’ll guess zilch, it’s rabbits at the river who need the money.

You know James will never get a grant.

Imagine the poor union member forced to pay union dues to spread porpaganda against who they are voting for.  It’s like Buzz Hargrove is running an extortion racket.I’ll try to get a clearer pic later this is from 2006 eh, and under the auto sector it says that a year or 2 ago a disaster was looming if Harper got in. Remember the auto market collapse of 2007?

Under same sex marriage they say the supreme court ruling on same sex marriage  says it’s a constitutional right in spite of the fact the ruling said parliament should rule on it.

CORNWALL, ON, October 7, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Some of Canada’s most outspokenly pro-life bishops are urging the Bishops of Canada to attend the March for Life en masse with representatives from each diocese. The 2009 March for Life, to be held on Parliament Hill in Ottawa on May 14, will mark 40 years since the omnibus bill of Pierre Trudeau which opened the floodgates to abortion in Canada.
…
Organizers are hoping for over 10,000 this year, especially since it marks the 40th anniversary of the legislation. Mary Ellen Douglas, national coordinator for Campaign Life Coalition, which organizes the annual March for Life, was very pleased to hear of the initiative of the bishops.

Poetry that rhymes from someone who probably doesn’t get a grant for it.  I also note that James is one of the few bloggers who doesn’t seem to have a counting apparatus on his blog.  Sitemeter and statcounter are for whimps

The Soft Canadian Justice System

By

James Bredin

Refugees claim they can’t be deported because of the serious risk,
Correcting their Human rights, their lawyers insist, should be brisk,
Those bad guys back where refugees came from could cause great pain,
So they’re enroute to our Supreme Court though this might seem insane.

It shows that democracy doesn’t work too well most of the time,
Especially when appointee judges and lawyers seem to be in line,
And low-life criminals and refugees seem to walk free,
Can’t build bigger jails because of the left-wing socialists’ plea.

Our revolving door lenient justice system will have to go,
Our Charter rights, no capital punishment is just a dog show,
And juvenile delinquent criminals can’t be publicly named,
And no need for these future terrorists to ever feel ashamed.

Big Government

Vote Stephane Dion

One of the thing’s I’ve often been perplexed by is the Canadian need for immigration, it’s like no one ever read a book to see if population increases or decreases in the past were good for “we the people”. If you think it’s a good thing that it may cost a million bucks for a house in Toronto that doesn’t even have a parking spot while the average wage in Canada is 31k/yr [marginally higher than that in Toronto,] read no further.

This has nothing to do with immigration even though it has everything to do with immigration, so if you want to bash immigrants this isn’t the place well unless you count the Irish, is Riel about? But if a population increase hurts the peasantry is it something a democracy should aim for?

I picked Britain because the book is well detailed as many UK records are on file going back to the doomsday book 1000 yrs ago. There’s also a continuity, oh and it’s a book I happen to own, I bought it in Windsor castle.

I go through ups and downs of the population and how when pop bursts up times are tight and when it goes down times are good. Well the encyclopedia does I just quote. Now if a bursting population is bad why do we want it you may ask? When I was born in the 60’s our population was well under 20 million.

I went through the Oxford history of Britain from the black plague until kind of close to the present. One of the untold stories about the plague is that after it when the population dropped,

Note back 500+ years ago they were paying women more than men because of a scarcity of labour! Feminists should want to stop all immigration tomorrow. Do the rich know this? I think they do. Immigraton might not be good for we the people but it is good for they the champagne clinkers. And like Paul Martins upcomming book book sez

The Liberal Party had always relied on large corporate donations, while the Conservative Party drew more of its funds from a vast database of small donors.

Now who wants immigration the party of the rich, sweet. You may accept the pat on the head and accept that a bursting population is good but is it really? Would you rather live in a stone house or one made of straw like they want?

Course those entitled to their entitlements want an ever growing tax base for themselves.

But why would we want to be better off if immigration creates wealth why is Toronto 7 % unemployed? Canada 6.1% Winnipeg 4.2.

Imagine the King being worried the servants wanted excessive wages. Imagine how happy it made the servants. Now imagine immigration for the express purpose of ruining it for the peasants but you hate them right? Well someone hates the peasants.

Rising population inflation and unemployment, imagine all that at the same time. Kind of the opposite of when the pop is falling and they have deflation and can pick and choose employment. But it’s a good opposite ask anyone who supports immigration.

Real wages dropped by 57% woo hoo, more airplanes with newcommers needed. Vote Dion!!!

Population increased living standards dropped, population declined and the opposite. Thats not what the CBC says.

Growing population and underemployment do you see a trend? Luckily I do not.

Thus a growing population blah blah blah. I like how in Aldenham and Hertfordshire, they needed welfare for some reason I’m wondering if a family has on welfare for hundreds of years.

Static pop low food prices vs rapid population growth and I’m wondering will anyone read this? No wait Rapid population growth and low wages. Well it’s a good thing if you are a rich liberal and Paul; martin admits in his book its the real rich who support the liberals.

Wealth, then the Irish showed up, say no more, must have been something to do with the beer.

I’m done now. You get the point, or you don’t think in a so called democracy that I’m allowed charter right 2 which Steacy admits is an American concept. That’s why George Washington put it in Trudeau’s Charter of rights.

Any way if you were wondering why we have immigration well,… the people who want to pay lower wages and collect higher rents have an answer.

We don’t need immigration people try to guilt you into it. But we really don’t, in fact it’s bad for “we the people”, the people all our leaders claim to be in touch with. So in touch they’ve never bothered to track in the past whether population increases were good or bad! They just say it’s good and assume we will not know.  In a democracy you are not supposed to have blood on the street to stop these things, Jack Layton claims to care for the little guy but he really doesn’t. Do you Jack?

Now a few decades ago when the economy had stagflation this surprised economists, [so my texts said] well I contend inflation is in part based on how many people you have if you double the population you need more food, shoes etc. Thus it need not be part of an over heating economy.  Just one where the demand side
Also to add a Canadian angle when we had the highest population of immigrants was just before the great depression started in 1929.

Cheers,

M.A.D.
