I will be taking a break from patisan politics and blogging for the next little while to work on a new project with a few friends. If you care to find out what the new project is, visit www.movecanadaforward.com. And if it tickles your fancy, join us as we fight the good fight. I thought it would be most appropriate to let the fans of this blog know about this before I stop posting here for a

I was going to post this yesterday but I worried about potential lawsuites. Today, I am less worried so I'm going to post it.The readers of this blog know my absolute distaste for cowards who hide behind anonymous quotes. In fact, there is no one worse than the PMO when it comes to giving anonymous sources. And there is no one worse than than the Globe when it come to using them.So yesterday the

Ok.. there will be a long post about this later.. I just found out my uncle met August Pinochet when he was the Commander in Chief of the Army. We are about to get into the car and head into horrible California traffic. So I will ask him about two hours worth of questions and post something about it here when I get a chance. (likely Sunday or Monday.)So as Drudge would say: DEVELOPING.

I just had a long post about Tisha B'Av that I somehow lost. Here is some of what I had written:I believe today is Tisha B'Av which is the ninth day of the month of Av in the Jewish calendar. It is the saddest day of the year for the Jewish people.On Tisha B'Av, on different years: (I'm copying the below because I just don't want to retype my version.)1.

Most people who have commented on recent US reaction to the NAFTA softwood panel seem to have misunderstood the basic principles of world trade. (If you are going to Brock's blog, read this comment as the most apparent misunderstanding of the system.)I wish I had the time to go into detail about various reasons why it is wrong to think that the United States is cheating. However, I only have

I disagree with people who say that the CPC should be running a positive campaign in the next election.In fact, I hope that this next election campaign goes down as the most negative election campaign in the history of modern politics. These guys are bunch of liars, cheats, and crooks. We should destroy their reputation. We should do so to point out that there are consequences to one's actions.

Well, this (officially posted less than 5 minutes after the last post) makes my thoughts about switching completely invalid.

I think it is important for conservatives to be mindful of what our military officers say. After all, our military is the most visible contact point that many foreigners have with Canada. So we want our Generals to reflect Canadian values accurately. Certainly, we would not want something like this to happen in Canada. (In case you don't want to follow the link, this is an incident from a few

I really wish that we had smarter reporters. Or at least less lazy reporters. I don't even care if they were all liberals. I just wish they were smarter.Here is a perfect example of piss poor journalism. In a story about the daylight saving situation. In a report filed by CTV.ca News Staff, we find this gem:"It's unclear if Canada will make the same time change. At least one business leader

Ralph Goodale has officially gone off the deep end on bank mergers.He might as well go stand in front of the TSX/NYSE and scream: "Hi.. folks.. yeah you guys running around in ties, the government of Canada is thinking about nationalizing the banks.. wait.. I didn't actually say that.. go on.. just ignore me."Bankers hate uncertainty more than they hate socialism. Goodale's recent remarks that

This has got to be a joke:"Using ships and dogsleds, the Danish navy patrols Greenland's roughly 40,000-kilometre-long coastline, equal to the length of the equator."Now apparently these ships and dogsleds are being send to Hans Island. They are going to invade us with dogsleds??? How are we going to respond? What would be a porportionate response to a dogsled invasion? Do we let our beavers and

I don't know who John Samuel is and I don't know what his group, People's Forum or Peoples Forum as it says in The Star, does. But I do know that saying the the PM is ignoring visible minorities in his appointments right before the PM appionts a Haitian born GG to replace a Chinese born GG must make you feel as dumb as a cow. This is the danger of playing politics with race. With one move you

He is, according to those around him, an expert horseman and golfer, having shot 11 holes-in-one during his first-ever round.Now, I always knew golf was a sport for liars, but I didn't knjow it was a sport for communist dictators.

or buy a fake purse, just remember you helped bring this about.There is no moral difference between supporting an organization that counterfeits designer purses and supporting one that counterfeits medicine. In fact, the odds are that it is the same bunch of thugs doing both. For your own sake, for sake of your children, for sake of our society STOP buying fake designer clothes.

Here is an article about the recent hackers convention in Las Vegas. For sometime now, I have been casually studying various uses of biometric security systems. They are becoming more and more common, and it seemed to me that their extended use provided no greater security to anyone. Here was my thinking:Asking someone to do retinal scan before going into a bank site or anywhere else is like

Back in the days of Reform/Alliance, the media used to always hint that we were nothing but a bunch of racist, rednecks. (As an immigrant who is not white, I found that particularly odd.)I remember thinking at the time that if the main reason we are racist is that we don't have enough people of colour in our party, then what does that say about the media? After all, the only organization more

That is when Israel will bomb Iran. According to the IDF "Iran will probably have a nuclear bomb by 2012, but could have the capability as early as 2008 'if all goes well for it,'." So I’m guessing Israel will bomb the facilities about three hours before they are due for their grand opening. Of course, some believed that since Iran had volunteered to not enrich uranium, the IDF would not worry

Helen Thomas is claiming that she will never talk to a reporter again. (This is odd because she is a reporter and most of her friends, one could assume, are reporters as well.. as is her boss.)She says:"We were just talking -- I was ranting -- and he wrote about it.

If you haven't been watching the Jays lately, you have been missing some great games. I watched all three of their games this week against the Angels. I can tell you that all three games were great fun. I wish I could have gone to Rogers Centre for them. I have a feeling that this might be a year for the good guys. They have a great team and are only 3 games behind Oakland for the wild card spot.

According to this "Vista's features will include better ways to visualize data, such as seeing through windows that are stacked atop each other, more natural file organization and faster searching."The seeing through windows thing is really cool. I wonder what the short cut for that is. I really like Mac's stacking. I know Windows XP has its own version of stacking, but frankly it sucks.So I'm
