Christmas gifts in the making

Saudi Arabia is in a "panic mode" and has requested Jordan to supply Jordanian troops and equipment to help them in their effort to fight the Shiite Yeminis who are wrecking havoc on SA's border. It looks like a great number of SA's troops are Shiite, and are refusing to fight their Yemini Shiite brothers. I fear to think what will become of those who have laid down their arms and said "No". What to do, what to do? Who should I root for? I think I will root for the North Yeminis for now. SA has been flooding the mosques and universities of the West with tonnes of dirty money with instructions that muslim youth in Western countries get indoctrinated into their loony tunes ideology.

h/t: Irene : Saudi Arabia goes begging to Jordan for additional troops

Additionally, the Iranian revolution is not dead, not yet. Student demonstrations are planned for Monday, Dec.7. Iranian authorities have given strict warnings to all foreign news journalists in the country not to venture out of their offices the next 3 days and it is reported that they have already choked off  internet access.

My Christmas wishes: A crippled Saudi Arabia  and a successful revolution in Iran. Those would be great gifts for Christmas.
 

UK's PM given the cold shoulder by soldiers

Injured soldiers being treated at a Birmingham hospital, closed the curtains around their beds when Gordon Brown paid a visit to the hospital. Their snubbing of Brown should be an indication of what they think of the apologists and supporters of  terrorists like their numbskull MP Galloway who is a great friend of  Hamas and also of the NDP party of Canada. Here are some remarks from the soldiers:

“At the time the Ministry of Defence were trying to sue wounded British soldiers to cut their compensation. It was so wrong. It doesn’t give the guys any faith in the government, it doesn’t make us feel like they support us or look after us."

“I didn’t want to speak to him, I didn’t want to waste my time talking to someone who was just trying to make themselves look good."

“I feel that even if someone is a moron, he should have the opportunity to defend his moronity. [His response] all seemed rather textbook and not from the heart."

“It was a pretty sour thing, we feel a lot of bitterness towards Gordon Brown. The guys read the papers, it is obvious to them that he doesn’t care."

“The straight fact is this: we don’t like the man, he has done nothing for us and continues to kick us in the teeth over equipment and compensation.”

Hey ... add my name to the biggest ever class action suit

Here is an article on the Climategate scandal by Jim O'Neill, winner during his days as a journalism student, of the "Research in Journalism Ethics Award.”
..... If "we the people" start suing for damages, we will start an explosion that will blow apart this global takeover by Marxists/Communists, hiding behind the cloak of environmentalism.

I’ve been asked “Who can sue over Climategate?” and I reply, “Darn near anybody.”
I’ve been asked “Who do I sue over Climategate?” and I reply “Darn near anybody.”

The first reply is absolutely true. The second reply is only half tongue-in-cheek.

Who hasn’t been affected by increased costs and taxes, stemming directly from “green laws” based on the IPCC’s fraudulent “science?” Maybe a few folks in the hinterlands of Borneo have been exempt, but the rest of us have paid dearly for the bogus science behind AGW (Anthropogenic Global Warming—“anthropogenic” meaning “caused by humans”).

Who do you sue? Take your pick, it’s a smorgasbord. Think you’ve seen some Climategate CYA-ing going on? You ain’t seen nothing yet. There are going to be so many people attempting to backpedal away from this explosion, that it’ll look like the Tour de France run in reverse.............

Virtually anything can be treated as true

I agree with this blogger's take on the long gun registry. Warning: Supposedly, it's an "R" rated blog, but for the life of me I don't know why.

If there's anything that Canadians can learn from observing the most fervently ideological amongst its media personalities, it's that virtually anything can be treated as true, so long as it's repeated often and insistently enough.


The most recent case in point has been the exaggerated controversy over the Conservative Party's move to -- with the support of MPs from the Liberal Party and the NDP -- abolish the federal long gun registry............

Why does the CBC hate Canada .....

and the Province of Alberta, in particular? See how CBC's article is so very keen to note what they themselves probably in all likelihood MADE someone say at the protests in London, UK, so they could use that line in their reporting.

The first stop for many in the march was the headquarters of BP, the large British-based oil company, because of its relationship Alberta's tar sands project. "We have to leave the tar sands oil in the ground," said one of the speakers.

CBC is hell bent on trying to get Albertans out of jobs so they can be on the Govt's teats like the sucklings in Ontario and Quebec. Are the idiots at CBC so blind and partisan that they are clamoring to shut down production at the Oil Sands and thus put thousands of people out of work? What is wrong with CBC ? It is all the more galling because we the taxpayers are paying the fat salaries of these people thus enabling them to shaft us royally.

I went through at least a dozen online media articles on the protests to see if I could find a reference to the Canadian Oil Sands or "Tar" sands as the CBC likes to tell us again and again to tarnish the image of the Oil discovery of the century, but I could find not one mention .... NOT A ONE.

CBC hunting for adverse news on Canada and on the Canadian govt makes them an entity which I consider to be traitorous and blatantly so. What are we going to do about this situation? Why cannot we call for a referendum to fire all the top brass at CBC and replace them with people who have at least a modicum of common sense.

Here are some links to some of the newspapers on the topic of the protests.

And then we have those subtle "journalists"

via Bourque comes this piece from TheStar a very middle of the road article. IMHO the writer does not know whether he is coming or going and whether he should stand solidly with one party or keep wishing the other was better. Mr.Travers, when writing for The Star, just stick to the the fading star's favorite point of focus: "Bash Harper, Bash Conservatives".   Why  even bother to put in a couple of  sentences of well-deserved praise for the PM ?  Just continue on your merry way of  subtly bashing the Conservative movement and hoping no one will notice.

......After learning the tricks of a dirty trade from the Liberals, Conservatives are now taking political gamesmanship to the next level by doing almost anything to win, even if that makes democratic practice the loser.

Prime ministers are constrained by convention and courtesy to leave domestic bickering behind when they go abroad. Parliament's defining duty to protect taxpayers is eroded when political theatre overwhelms economic disclosure. Public respect for MPs is lost when message management leaves them begging for information that's already yesterday's news.....

Sarah Palin on Climategate

The president’s decision to attend the international climate conference in Copenhagen needs to be reconsidered in light of the unfolding Climategate scandal. The leaked e-mails involved in Climategate expose the unscientific behavior of leading climate scientists who deliberately destroyed records to block information requests, manipulated data to “hide the decline” in global temperatures, and conspired to silence the critics of man-made global warming. I support Senator James Inhofe’s call for a full investigation into this scandal. Because it involves many of the same personalities and entities behind the Copenhagen conference, Climategate calls into question many of the proposals being pushed there, including anything that would lead to a cap and tax plan. read further

The Chinese, whether in China or Canada .... they love PM Harper

These are the times, when the opposition is so down on their luck that they will clutch at any little straws like a drowning man would, that we should do the Christian thing in the Christmas spirit and let them get away with some whining (lying) about how the Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao "scolded" our PM.  Nothing is, and ever has been, further from the truth. In Chinese custom, when a favored person visits their household,  to show how much the person's visit is appreciated, the first thing they say is " So, now you come to see me? Where were you while I was waiting here for you?" This makes the visitor feel wanted and welcomed and it is the Chinese way of showing how much they care about the visitor. Canadians who are originally from China are laughing aloud at the Canadian media and shaking their heads and laughing some more.

Moreover, countless long awaited deals which were anticipated by Canada were officially signed and sealed ... is that the new way of showing disrespect  to our PM ?   Can the opposition get any more sillier?

The Approved Destination Status (ADS) which will bring tourists from China to our shores and benefit our tourism industry was hailed by the tourism industry in both countries. In BC alone there have been a flow of 230,000+ Chinese tourists since the beginning of the year. With ADS, Canada can expect that number to double and more.

Also, the Investment Protection Agreement (IPA) is by now already signed and sealed. This will give more confidence to exporters and importers as it will provide legal protection to both sides to this kind of  trade.

PM Harper also forged ahead with the Asia Pacific Portal Program (APPP) and his Chinese counterpart was only too glad to assure our PM that they are looking forward to give us full cooperation, whether it be in telecom services or in construction.

The Lib and other parties are making clowns of themselves by proclaiming that "Harper was scolded". By doing so, they are further distancing themselves from Canadian voters who are originally from those Asian countries and are more familiar with the norms of Chinese behaviour. Of course, the Chinese premier would have HAD TO say something to show he has not forgotten how we welcomed the Dalai Lama who is a sworn enemy of the Chinese govt., or how our PM never misses an opportunity to rail against Human Rights violations in China, or how he was one of the top world leaders not to put in an appearance at the Olympics. All politicians do it, it's just PR.

Canada and China has signed several agreements which will further strengthen the grip both countries have on the economy and on the future prosperity of our two countries.

The two countries also agreed on the need to encourage further growth of bilateral trade from its current levels, increasing trade in goods and services in all sectors, including energy and resources, infrastructure, telecommunication and transportation, advanced technology, tourism, agriculture and financial services. They also agreed to enhance cooperation on clean energy

PM Harper has proven once again to be the perfect diplomat. Whether he travels to India or China or to the moon, Canadians can always rest assured that he will do us proud.

I for one, am absolutely proud of our Prime Minister.

The plague of Human Trafficking in Calgary

Human Trafficking is slavery... so anyone who says slavery has been abolished has to be corrected. It is still very much alive and kicking and kicking furiously even in Canada.

A Canadian woman posing as a hairdresser was charged on Thursday with human trafficking, for trying to sell two Chinese women to undercover policemen for 4,000 dollars each.

The woman allegedly offered to sell "two teenaged Asian women" for 5,000 Canadian dollars (4,700 US) each to undercover policemen
