https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6L_XvLZcqI Here's an interview of Dr. Cullen on the CBC - check out the Youtube comments. Just brutal! "I hope he gets murdered". Just unbelievable.

This from another political site that I follow: Why stop at gender? How about age? 20-something year olds make up X% of the population, so they should make up X% of cabinet. Aboriginals make up 5% of population, so they should represent 5% of cabinet. Muslims make up 3%, Jews 1%, so let's represent them accordingly as well. JWs make up 2% of the population, so they need to be represented as well. Yes, they don't believe in voting or serving in government, but equality trumps religious convictions. What about lawyers, they make up 1% of the population, so let's stop giving them 15% of the cabinet positions. 1% of the population is homeless, so there should be at least one homeless person in cabinet for every lawyer. 10% of Canadians are virgins (largely concentrated on web forums and in politics), so they need to be represented at cabinet. 5% of the population is made up of criminals, so government needs to reduce the number of criminals in cabinet down to 5%. 50% of the population is made up of complete @#$@ morons, so we need that segment represented in cabinet as well.

Yeah it nothing to do with every song sounding almost identical...

Sweden, the envy of all those who honestly think socialism is a good thing. Feel free to move there. Please. BLEEDING HEART JOURNALIST: Enters Muslim ‘NO GO’ Zone, Now Something Else Is Bleeding A few more stories like this one, and we can safely say that Sweden will no longer be that poster child for why Socialism is the better way forward. Scratch that: actually, a few more stories like this one, and Sweden might no longer exist. It all started simply enough: with wrong-headed Progressive assumptions. In this instance, some neighborhoods were chucking rocks at police. One journalist applied the modern journalistic methods to the situation: find out who wronged them so badly that they have taken to chucking rocks. Naturally, they must have a reason — right? It’s just a matter of hearing their side of the story. That is the story for which Ms. Valentina Xhaferi went looking. She found it. In the middle of one of Stockholm’s “no-go” zones, she found one resident willing to discuss that “other side of the story” on camera. They met in the agreed-on public space, and set up for filming. A passer-by asked why they were filming, and was told. So he grabbed a few friends. And a few rocks. Things turned ugly pretty quickly. She wanted to get away. They hurled insults, splashed the cameraman with coffee, kicked over their equipment, which they caught on film. She tried reason. “It was impossible to calm them down. I pulled back and tried to calm down everyone, while trying to get my colleague and myself out of there.” Then someone chucked a stone. They finished the report a week later … this time with police escort. In relating her story, she unwittingly identified what’s really happening here. “They thought we crossed the limit and that we were standing on their land.” Nowhere in the story does it mention identifying characteristics of this “foreign born” community. But we are told that this particular “no-go” zone consists of upwards of 70% “foreign-born” residents. (Statistics tell us that some 40,000 people live within Tensta, a suburb of Stockholm.) Other zones actually boast nearly 100% foreign-born residents. It wasn’t hard to find which reports she was seeking the “other side”. Police claims that lone squad cars won’t even pursue criminals into certain neighborhoods. Swedish law simply doesn’t apply there. Shariah is enforced, instead. There are, police estimate, 55 “no-go” zones in Sweden. They are by no means the only European country that has them. And remember: that was before the wave of humanity began spilling into Europe. Is it genuinely “compassionate” to have areas of a city where the rule of law is not enforced, and not enforceable? And to whom are the adjudicators of Sharia, themselves, accountable? http://clashdaily.com/2015/10/say-good-bye-to-sweden-journalist-pitied-rioters-but-was-shocked-when-this-happened/

But if you believe that, you won't buy carbon credits and put money into Al Gore's fat pockets. And we can't have that.

Too many completely made-up stories. And therein lies the problem. The fear-mongering about nuclear power is off the charts, and it's almost completely unwarranted. Especially since people are still telling stories from the 1960's and 1970's. If people stopped traveling by air because a few planes crashed, then no one would ever have found safer ways to build airplanes. Yet more people were killed in that Russian plane crash on the weekend then have ever been directly killed by nuclear power. Plane crash remnants do not last long. Nuclear accidents last for centuries. There's a cement mountain in Ukraine. They've frozen the ground around Fukishima. Nuclear waste? Right, and you are talking about old technology. Fukishima was built on a fault line. Just pointing at mistakes of the past doesn't mean that we can't move forward and fix what went wrong in the past. I just am so not a fan of being a coward when there is so much potential for so much cheap energy that could benefit all mankind, and pull everyone out of poverty that is still there in so much of the world.

I've been to five Grey Cups (four in Vancouver) and I think the only half-time act I watched was in Calgary in 2000 when the Guess Who was performing, but that was because the guy beside me had spilled his beer and I was frozen to my metal seat.

Super Dogs and a Tae-Kwan Doe exhibition in which the demonstrators do high-kicks across the entire field. That was cool.

http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/dustin-byfuglien-hearing-suspension-hit-head-brendan-gallagher-winnipeg-jets-montreal-canadiens/ LOL - 24% have voted for 5 or more game suspension. Must be the wimpy Canadiens fans.

Here's another guy that has been sent death threats for his advocating for nuclear power. George Monbiot is as big a global warming believer as they come, and he's also so far left that he makes Fidel Castro look like Ted Cruz. Yet he thinks nuclear power is a good idea, and because of that he has been the target of a lot of crazy people wishing him harm. Just unbelievable the level of paranoia about nuclear energy. http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/apr/28/arrested-myself-supporting-nuclear-power-george-monbiot

Careful, you might get death threats for telling the truth about nuclear power, like Dr. Cullen did.

I really hope on March 5th when the wimp-ass Canadien Cry-babies come to town we really let those bums have it. And if the Jets go up by a few goals, I hope the fans do the Nah nah nah hey hey chant like the Montreal fans were doing for the last half of the "turd" period last night. Screw those bozos.

This kind of pissed me off: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/british-columbia/canadian-researcher-targeted-by-hate-campaign-over-fukushima-findings/article27060613/ The paranoia about nuclear power really is regrettable, and makes people do stupid things.

if the QB is in the pocket, two hand touch counts as a tackle. Otherwise, not sure what else to do. NFL QB injuries seem to be a lot lower, look at how little of Tom Brady's career has been lost due to injury. Why is that?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Airlines_Flight_611 Here's the info on the China Airlines flight. It took 22 years for the repair of the tail strike to fail.

The Sinai is not considered a war zone, at least, not since 1973. The Russians may be trying to save face instead of saying that it was shoddy maintenance that caused this crash. Apparently this plane was involved in a tail strike in 2001 in Cairo when the back-end hit the runway. There are several documented cases of planes that suffered tail strikes breaking up in mid-air many years later, including a Japan Airlines plane and a China Airlines plane. Tail strikes can be a real maintenance issue as the damage they do can be hard to detect. Needless to say I would never want to fly on a plane that had suffered a tail strike.

As long as they don't hire that pee in the cup guy they should be all right.

I don't think that we need a PM reality show, but a celebrity renovator would be interesting to at least contemplate. It would be a connection to the PM and I don't see how that's a bad thing. Kind of like this Rick Mercer bit he ran with Harper:

yikes, this game is making me yearn for a Bomber game to watch...

Yeah I have a point, Bucko. I am saying you don't have a clue what security costs, and your entire opinion is politically biased. I am basing that on all of the bullshit you've posted about Harper in the past. But really who cares. The election is over, and I would hate to sound "pissy". Well, you're wrong..again.Just a simple statement on my part about the expense of transporting the vehicles. That's it. Doesn't matter who was the PM. You just want to spin something, wrong or not. But you're still pissed that your boy lost the election and that he lost because all that "bullshit" was true. Oh well. I'm sure when the PM or President or other world leaders travel abroad they'd be able to rent or borrow armoured limos. But there is a reason they always prefer to use their own. And it's pretty obvious. Begrudging a leader his full security detail because it's not the party you support is small minded and petty. I'm sure the prince will fly coach and insist on driving his own smart car when he travels. You use the word "always" as if it is standard procedure. I challenge you to find another instance were they transported a limo for a previous PM to use in a foreign country. I'm pretty sure I remember they used to fly around armored cars for Mulroney back during his tenure. Of course, that was before the days of the internet so I couldn't find anything in a Google search. I did find this article though: http://www.pressreader.com/canada/windsor-star/20121107/281711201915365/TextView From the sounds of the article, the RCMP threat assessment made the call to fly the limos over to India. If the RCMP is telling you that you need armored cars, then what do you do? Tell them to stick it? I don't know. Just seems to me to be crying over spilt milk.

If you want to post lies and utter bullshit about Harper, or anyone for that matter, be prepared to be called a jack-arse! That's just how I roll. If you don't like it, don't read my posts. And better yet, don't post a bunch of bullshit. I don't think I called you a loon for posting all of that legal baffle-gab about the niquab. If I did I apologize.

Except that it wasn't true, and you made a complete fool of yourself, by posting such utter bullshit. That's the point. Harper deserved to lose, and he's not "my boy". I will be just as adamant if next election, you post a bunch of total bullshit about Trudeau. Speaking of which: Here's Trudeau trick or treating yesterday with his wife and kids. I think it's pretty cool, that we have a leader who dresses up and goes out with his kids, even though this was no doubt a staged photo-op. How cool would it be to go to your door to give out candy, and there's the prime minister with this kids? Now, if I was a partisan jack-arse like you, I'd complain about how it cost the taxpayers money for him to go trick or treating, because they would have had to have an RCMP detail following, and probably clearing houses in advance to ensure that the new PM wasn't going into some sort of security risk. But I won't do that, because I think it's important that he and his kids get to live a normal life, and the parents get to enjoy their kids at this age, including participating in Halloween fun. Anything else would be un-Canadian.

Yeah I have a point, Bucko. I am saying you don't have a clue what security costs, and your entire opinion is politically biased. I am basing that on all of the bullshit you've posted about Harper in the past. But really who cares. The election is over, and I would hate to sound "pissy". When I was working up in Terrace and Chretien was the PM, he spent the entire month of July in his summer getaway in Masset, in the Queen Charlotte Islands. The security detail and costs were enormous for him to be there, and communications alone were a huge challenge. At least, from what I was told by people who were part of the detail and planning at the Masset airport. But you know what, as much as I couldn't stand Chretien, I didn't begrudge him that protection, or the cost. It is what it is.

I just asked the question - are you an expert on foreign security? If not, how the hell would you know if the cost is ridiculous or not?
