Loony Left wing professor targets Target for selling 'sexist' Superhero pajamas to pre-literate toddlers and the risible CBC promotes this nonsense as news.

Laughable! You truly cannot make this stuff up. Only the risible CBC would consider this nonsense controversial and only loony Left wing professors would be offended by PJs designed for toddlers, which convert post infant little boys into superheroes and little girls into the women who want to date them. Keep in mind folks that the toddlers who are wearing these PJs, do not read, and even if in a rare circumstance they could, they would not comprehend the significance of the message. These PJs were designed to amuse admiring adults of young children and not to condition toddlers into becoming sexists. The outrage over this is too puerile to be believed. Lighten up folks. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/kitchener-waterloo/target-baby-pjs-say-boys-are-heroes-girls-can-date-them-1.2782450?utm_content=buffer25c1d&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_campaign=buffer

My comments on: Neil Young’s New Climate Anthem "Who’s Gonna Stand Up"

This is a well written and even touching song by the great Neil Young; but, one has to keep in mind that his greatness comes not from his naive, uninformed, even flaky grasp of economics and the environment, but rather from his impressive body of creative work and his staying power in a very competitive and often unforgiving industry. You have a right to your opinions Neil, but, many of us with our heads screwed on tight know that your uninformed opinions about the Alberta Oil Sands and the countless lives they improve through the tax revenues they generate, do not amount to a hill of rat droppings simply because you are a famous, singer/songwriter. You are well out of your depth on this one Neil. Finally, the protection of the land is hardly an either/or proposition. It is not a scenario where indolent, uninformed, uneducated, unsophisticated First Nations people living on a reserve, while looking forward to their next government check, are somehow the exclusive (some would say imaginary) protectors of the land. Compared them to all the well trained, highly motivated, scientists and technicians who work for the oil industry and annually crank out sophisticated technology designed at great expense to progressively reduce the carbon imprint at all levels in the oil industry, while allowing this wealth producing industry to continue to survive and thrive. Who are the real protectors of the land? http://www.democracynow.org/blog/2014/9/19/exclusive_listen_to_neil_youngs_new

New Brunswick Election: After two centuries of backwardness and ineptitude Herring Chokers (New Brunswickers). once again, cast their ballot for failure and redundancy rather than reach for success.

What a bunch of stunned herring chokers (New Brunswickers). Once again they settle for failure subsidized by transfer payments from Alberta and Saskatchewan (and formerly from Ontario and Quebec) rather than success which would have been subsidized by the natural gas industry, which could have been developed through fracking. But, oh no, the herring chokers, conditioned by two centuries of being a failed economy in a failed province, in a failed region with a failure's worldview, are not about to break with tradition now and reach for the brass ring. Once again they settle for, ugh, Liberalism (read socialism, cowardice, lack of imagination and pseudo environmentalism), while living on the dole. PAH! http://www.sunnewsnetwork.ca/sunnews/politics/archives/2014/09/20140922-083519.html

Jen Gerson spews political correctness about the causes of French anti-Semitism in her National Post article

Jen Gerson, in her recent National Post article, wrote the following about the causes of anti-Semitism in the violence experienced during the current French protests. She writes, "The protests come amid growing concerns about rising anti-Semitism in much of Western Europe, but particularly in France, fanned by the strong performance of the far-right National Front party, and a perceived rise in anti-Semitic violence." Let me say, Jen, that political correctness kills. Your politically correct statement conveniently ignores, indeed fails to mention at all, the growing Muslim populations in France now at 10% of their population and growing exponentially. Most of them hail from the Maghreb (various Muslim countries in North Africa) and they do NOT assimilate into mainstream French culture. Do you think, just possibly Jen, that some of the anti-Semitic violence might have been fueled by Muslims, many of whom despise Western culture, including the 'Little Satan", Israel and that there is a large Muslim contingent fanning the flames of violence against the Jews because of the Israelis current incursions against their fellow Muslims in Gaza? Do you think, just possibly, that they might just be part of the problem? Furthermore, Jen, most of the non-Muslim violence in France, as in Canada, comes not from the far Right (and has not since the end of hostilities of WWll) but from the far Left. It is the Islamists and the hard Left who are the allies made in hell, both in much of Europe and North America. Get your facts right, Jen, even if it rubs the nap of your political correctness the wrong way. I agree that it is important to not overstate the outrages that Islamists are perpetrating in our societies but equally it is important not to ignore them. Political correctness (which is to say dangerous inaccuracies) kills. http://news.nationalpost.com/2014/07/21/pro-gaza-rallies-worldwide-tainted-by-anti-semitism-calgary-organizer-to-apologize-for-violence/

Are Canada's more than reality based dreams of becoming an Energy Super-Power going Up in Smoke due to low information resistance, indifference or economic sabotage?

Canada's national daily, the Globe and Mail, recently pondered whether or not Canada's dreams of becoming an Energy Super-Power were going up in smoke. I, out of my own frustration with the many obstacles in the way to Canada realising this very realistic dream, considered the following. In a world of vested interests such as OPEC: Big Energy interests in America: the American billionaire backed eco-fascists in the U.S.,: Indigenous Canadians who cannot or will not grasp who and what pays for their ongoing gravy train and could not care less: the hard Left of the Democratic Party of America; a dithering and indifferent President Obama who is out to economically undermine his own country so why would he worry about Canada's economic interests?;, and finally a fatuous WOULD-BE Prime Minister, with the grasp of economics comparable to a tse-tse fly who unfortunately leads the Liberal Party of Canada and who inexplicably struggles to end Canada's hope for energy independence, are we then surprised that the deck is stacked against Canada becoming an energy superpower? Of the many players in this dog and pony show PM Harper is the only demonstrably honest broker and clear thinker; but, he is just one good man up against the charlatans of a sordid world. http://www.theglobeandmail.com//report-on-business/industry-news/energy-and-resources/are-harpers-dreams-of-canada-as-energy-superpower-going-up-in-smoke/article18942499/?cmpid=rss1&click=sf_rob

Unconscionable Chinese Communist leaders crack down on Christians and other groups of conscience, like Falun Gong practitioners, Taoists and Tibetan Buddhist Monks.

The Chinese communist leaders are notorious for cracking down on and eliminating (if they can) any group of conscience, from Christians, to Falun Gong practitioners, from Taoists to Tibetan Buddhist monks. Chinese leaders are themselves singularly without conscience; but nonetheless, they instinctively understand that groups of real conscience, like those cited above, make these Chinese leaders appear morally bankrupt by default. That is the nature of the totalitarian mindset from communists, to Nazis, to Fascists to Islamofascists, they cannot tolerate being exposed for the empty and banal evil that they both embrace and enshrine. http://news.nationalpost.com/2014/04/29/china-cracks-down-on-christianity-demolishing-church-that-symbolized-resistance-to-communists-grip-on-religion/

Top Reagan Scholar Opines: Marco Rubio Is The ‘Closest Thing’ To A ‘Next Reagan’

I disagree with many of the naysayers on the Left and the Right who put down or otherwise underestimate Marco Rubio. Rubio is a fine American and he would be a great GOP candidate in 2016; but, he is no Ronald Reagan, at least at this point in his development. Rubio is too young, he lack's Reagan's gravitas, maturity, and the always bemused twinkle in Reagan's Irish eyes. Most importantly he lacks Reagan's instinctive sense of the greatness of America and her people. Rubio certainly pays lip service to the 'greatness of America' but Reagan lived it, he exuded it through his pores, the force of his smile and the timber in his voice. After the sound whipping that the U.S. military had received at the hands of Ho Chi Minh and the North Vietnamese, Americans had lost much of their national self-confidence and pride, but Reagan, after holding the demoralized and subdued Carter to a one-term Presidency and instantly ending the hostage crisis in Tehran, effectively restored much of that lost pride. When Herbert Walker Bush (Bush 41) soundly defeated Saddam Hussein militarily during 'Desert Storm' in the oil fields of Kuwait, he carried on Reagan's legacy and he cemented the restored confidence. That restored confidence held until another 'Chamberlainesque' Democrat President, the Dhimmi traitor Obama, undermined it again, with his saboteur ways. So, after nearly six years of the saboteur Obama, I can certainly understand why the GOP and all loyal Americans desperately are looking for another Ronald Reagan; but, poor, well intended Marco Rubio, is not the guy. http://dailycaller.com/2014/04/28/top-reagan-scholar-marco-rubio-is-the-closest-thing-to-a-next-reagan/2/

"Money For Nothing" The Increasingly Sad Case of Alison Redford

I actually find myself feeling sorry for this woman, maybe I shouldn't, but I do. When she first won the leadership of the Progressive Conservatives, I was disappointed, but what could I do, it wasn't my call. When, in an a general election campaign, and contrary to the predictions of most pollsters, she succeeded in winning a comfortable majority at the expense of my favourites, Danielle Smith and the Wild rose Party, I was outraged. I had felt that Albertans had somehow betrayed their well-deserved reputation for fierce independence from big government nanny statism and high taxes. I had known from the beginning that the smarmy, entitlement obsessed, U.N. alumnus, Redford, was a terrible choice as leader but after the election and knowing that we would have to put up with her for at least four more years, was for me an untenable situation. That she quickly lived up to and soon exceeded my worst expectations of her came as both a confirmation of my instincts about her but equally fired up my outrage. When, however, she took the coward’s way out and resigned as leader over misuse of taxpayer's money, after initially refusing to pay back the money she had frivolously spent on herself and her daughter; only to be hounded by the press and public opinion into reversing her poorly advised decision, I was strangely disappointed. I confess that after she agreed to pay back the misspent money that I did not want to see her resign. I had thought, okay, this is a learning moment for Redford. This was an opportunity for this overly proud and intractable woman to show some real humility, apologize to the voters of Alberta and live with the consequences of their disapproval. She could have provided the voters of Alberta the opportunity to forgive her and likewise have the opportunity to forgive herself and equally double down and become a much better leader. That she failed to weather the storm and chose to sit as an ordinary MLA, without even a portfolio was sad enough, but now, not even demonstrating the self-discipline and integrity necessary to show up to work and earn the over one hundred grand a year she makes as an MLA, suggests to me a broken spirit or perhaps merely a fundamentally larcenous spirit. Either way, clearly, the God’s of sound character are not smiling down upon Alison Redford. http://news.nationalpost.com/2014/04/24/former-premier-alison-redford-asks-to-collect-pay-while-absent-from-alberta-legislature/

A Conservative Leader, A Social Democrat and the Village Idiot go to the Polls and Reality begins to set in.

It was inevitable that the pro-Liberal polls of the past would begin to reverse themselves. As the electorate get closer to the election the hard facts of reality begin to sink in. In 2015 it will be a clear choice among three very different leaders. One who is experienced, well seasoned, has the international respect of his peers and is in firm control of his country and its economy, the Right Honorable Stephen Harper. A second, who although a social democrat (socialist) is nonetheless a centrist, a moderate, a man of some gravitas and most importantly, an adult, the Right Honourable Thomas Mulcair. A third, who smokes dope, admires Communist China, finds it distasteful that our government refers to honour killings as barbaric, who has made excuses for the Boston Marathon terrorists and believes that budgets balance themselves, the Right Ridiculous Justin Trudeau. https://ca.news.yahoo.com/blogs/canada-politics/harper-conservatives-vault-top-opinion-poll-192343629.html?cmp=cafb_news

The latest delay of the Keystone XL pipeline by the shiftless Obama, for purely political reasons, will will hurt the economy in U.S.and Canada, according to all reliable sources.

It is interesting to go slumming every once in a while to see if some of the mainstream media still attracts the usual, low information opinions from the hard Left. They do. Contrary to the insensate mutterings from the ideological gutter however, reliable sources are quite correct in their assessment, more than correct, they are painfully obvious. The building and implementation of the Keystone XL pipeline will almost instantly create thousands of jobs on both sides of the border and go a very long way in completely ensuring North American energy independence. It has been assessed more than once by the EPA and has been found to be completely carbon neutral and safe. The U.S. State Department approves it, all Republicans and the majority of Democrats in both the House and the Senate approve it and nearly 90% of both the American and Canadian people want it passed. The shiftless Obama however continues to demur on making a decision on this no-brainer, succumbing to pressure from the hard Left of his base. I am however, so use to Obama making ill-advised and dishonorable decisions on just about any matter that his politically informed idiocy over Keystone XL is to be expected. http://www.cbc.ca/news/business/joe-oliver-says-keystone-delay-will-hurt-economy-in-u-s-canada-1.2618118?cmp+fbtl

Amid protests from Islamofascists, Brandeis U withdraws honour for Ayaan Hirsi Ali, defender of Muslim women and critic of Islam

The disingenuous Muslim students at Brandeis university admit, on the one hand, that Ayaan Hirsi Ali raises many valid points about the terrible abuses that women and girls suffer in Islamic culture; but, on the otherhand, they refuse to allow to allow that there is any correlation between those abuses and the nature of Islam itself. Yet, that precisely is the nature of Islam, reinforced by fascist organizations like CAIR, that any criticism of Islam is not allowed, pending charges of Islamophobia (a fabricated hoax of a term) or even death. According to the disingenuous Muslim students at Brandeis, misogynist horrors in Muslim culture must be treated in isolation as if they have no primary cause. Ayaan Hirsi Ali and other sane critics know better. Islam is the cause and only a MAJOR overhaul of Islam will be the cure. Ms. Hirsi Ali, who is by all accounts a wonderful woman, has stated on innumerable occasions that her problem is with the totalitarian ideology of Islam, not Muslims per se. That is precisely, incidentally, my position as well. One despises totalitarian ideologies like Nazism, Fascism, Communism and the granddaddy of all totalitarian ideologies, Islamism. One does NOT despise Germans, Italians, Russians, Chinese or Muslims because they are merely people who have been the greatest victims of these horrific ideologies. Ayaan Hirsi Ali, is a cultural Muslim herself. She was born to a Muslim family, all her existing blood relatives are Muslim, so she does not hate Muslims. Furthermore, reinforcing her being the highly intelligent, sensitive, sophisticated woman she is, she is married to one of the great conservative thinkers of the English speaking world, Niall Ferguson. Ms Ali is well and above the knee-jerk reactionism that the simple-minded Muslim students of Brandeis are guilty of and falsely accuse her of being. Despite all the horrors that Muslims fanatics have subjected her too, forced female genital mutilation, forced marriage (that she rejected) years of death threats from Muslim terrorists/assassins, the murder of her friend and colleague, filmmaker Theo Van Gogh by a Muslim fanatic, and still forced to live in hiding under police protection to this day; she is able to rise above personal recriminations to share her story and help her fellow, victimized Muslims, to throw off the shackles of bondage to the horror which is Islam and seek a better life. This woman is a saint and should have been honored at Brandeis with laurels, garlands and a marching band instead of demonized by a group of little Islamofascists in the making. http://news.nationalpost.com/2014/04/09/amid-protests-brandeis-withdraws-honour-for-ayaan-hirsi-ali-defender-of-muslim-women-and-critic-of-islam/

Pauline Marois, Quebec's archetypal 'Desperate Woman", insists that Saskatchewan Premier, Brad Wall, is a "Sneaky Weasel" for being so successful.

Ha ha. Poor Pauline Marois. She has become Quebec's archetypal 'Desperate Woman." At least at this point she is keeping her criticism within her Province back to criticising the Liberal leader Couillard. Everyone knows that recently she has been attacking Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall, calling him a "sneaky weasel" during a provincial election. HELLO!!?? Ms. Marois??? Anybody home??? Marois, apparently, finds it incredibly 'sneaky' that Brad Wall insists on being such a successful Premier from an economic standpoint. when the Quebec economy, under her leadership, is such a disaster. "How dare he show me up, that sneaky weasel??!!" Incidentally, many fiscally responsible Republican governors in the U.S. are being referred to as "sneaky weasels" by their tax and spend Democrat counterparts, and for largely the same reason. Equally, perhaps if the Progressive Conservative opposition leader in Ontario, Tim Hudak, displayed some of this "sneaky weasel" quality, he might win the next provincial election. http://www.sunnewsnetwork.ca/sunnews/politics/archives/2014/03/20140325-132630.html

Kathleen "Orville Reddenbacker" Wynne, insists that anyone who criticizes incompetent women leaders must be sexist.

When it comes to Leftards, who shirk personal responsibility like rattlesnakes moult their skins, it is always the other guy's fault. If a growing majority of Americans now regard the incompetent Obama as the worst President in U.S. history it is simply because they are racist. Likewise when the majority of Ontarians jettison Kathleen "Orville Reddenbacker" Wynne and her tax and spend bozos in the spring election and exile her to Pluto, Wynne will accuse Ontarians of being sexist, even the women. Ontarians won't care however because Wynne will be on Pluto via a one way ticket. http://www.sunnewsnetwork.ca/sunnews/politics/archives/2014/03/20140322-164823.html

Princess Alison Redford, U.N. alumnus, 'nanny state' devotee and entitlement obsessed narcissist, resigns in a dilettante's huff of crocodile tears and self-pity.

Poor Princess Alison Redford. Like the dilettante 'progressive' U.N. alumni that she is in her heart, a 'progressiveness' which is a quality that she, 'underlined' in her resignation speech as desirable in her policies, Redford remains true to form. Like any dilettante she runs away in a huff, after she discovered that the electorate are less than enamored by her 'nanny state' policies and her narcissistic, entitlement obsessed, persona. Good riddance Alison. You were a terrible mistake for leader of a conservative party from the get go.Go into the private sector for a while and work at a real job and put things into perspective. If, after some time toiling among the cinders and ash you become thoroughly chagrined you might actually be able to re-enter public life with some humility and thus have something of value to offer. You might even become a 'real' conservative and thus a loyal Canadian. http://news.nationalpost.com/2014/03/19/alison-redford-resigns-as-premier-of-alberta/

Australian 'carbon capture' technology. An Eco-friendly winner or a tax-payer abusing carbon wet dream?

This sounds like a brilliant idea, at least at first glance. IF the plastic products produced by this 'carbon capture' technology have credible commercial application potential; and IF this plastic produced is biodegradable OR able tor replace plastic products from other sources, for example non-renewables like petroleum; and IF the industrial producers of significant carbon emissions pollution seize upon this technology as a money making pollution control measure while improving their carbon imprint profile; THEN, we may have an Eco-friendly winner on our hands. If on the other hand this 'carbon capture' technology is another one of those 'green' boondoggles like Wind turbines, Solar Panels, Electric cars etc. etc., which are a million miles long on promise and a yard long on delivery; then, we are being confronted with another locus for billions of taxpayers dollars being wasted on a carbon emissions wet dream. After over a decade of 'Green Energy' boondoggles sponsored by the McGuinty/Wynne abomination (government) in Ontario, Canada; which, has literally squandered billions on wind farms only to produce unreliable and unusable energy; and after observing five years of the risible Obama administration in the U.S. wasting hundreds of millions of dollars on 'Green Energy' fiascoes such as Solyndra, you will have to forgive me for remaining highly skeptical. http://ca.news.yahoo.com/video/entrepreneurs-turn-pollution-plastic-181740778.html
