Interesting piece by John Ibbitson in today's Globe and Mail..... Seems a couple of investigators from the Liberal think tank The Brookings Institute, have returned from Iraq impressed with what they saw: "We are finally getting somewhere, at least in military terms," they wrote, "As two...

It appears one native faction plans to block the 401 and rail connections between Montreal and TO. They have indicated they have weapons readied behind the lines, and will start a shooting war if the police try to remove them......... Sorry. This is NOT protest, this is rebellion, and...

Just finished watching a very impressive interview on CBC's The Hour, believe it or not. I wish I caught the gentleman's name.....it was Ismael...something. Anyway, this guy was most impressive. He has written a book called Child Soldier. He became a soldier in Sierra Leone at the age of...

There is now a proposal tio strengthen Canadian Gun Laws by requiring all license applicants to undergo a one-time face-to-face interview before a license would be granted. This would be in addition to the mandatory safety training and background check. My initial reaction was "GD it, not MORE...

So Friday March 24, or whatever.......I'm sitting in front of the Computer at like 3AM and I get VERY dizzy.......time to go to bed, where I get a pain in in left arm, then across my back. Alarmed, I get up to get aspirin............and can't get down the stairs. Call 911 (wife feeds me...

Fascinating piece in today's Globe and Mail by Margaret Wente. The subject of who gives to charilty belies the Conventional Wisdon, and should destroy the image of the oh-so-concerned liberal latte-slurping do-gooder. First of all, Americans give a LOT more than Canadians. They are much more...

Has anyone an opinion on this case? A Saskatchewan man is on trial. His daughter, just out of drug rehab, moved in with a known drug dealer. Pa went to get her out, she wouldn't leave, he shot said drug dealer 5 times. The case is before the jury. The judge has instructed the jury that...

That's right folks! The lefty, liar SOB I most love to hate now exposed in his hypocracy! Read on! http://www.citizenlink.org/CLFeatures/A000000120.cfm I thought I should add, in the interests of full disclosure, that the author of "the Dirty Dozen", Gary Schneeberger (Geez, what a...

According to the Globe and Mail, Sheik Sobhi Tufeili, the founder of Hezbollah, has accused Hezbollah under Hassan Nashrallah of being a complete puppet of Tehran. He said Hezbollah is pushing Lebanon towards civil war to serve the interests of its masters in Tehran. "The relationship of...

Say "Happy Bithday, Colpy". Today, October 26, 2006, I am 52 years old. (groan)

Five months into this fiscal year, the Feds are already showing a $6.7 billion surplus. Geez, remember all that pre-election babble about how the Conservatives would break the country? Sure doesn't appear that way. Good stuff. Paying down debt should be a priority of any government.

It turns out the LIberal leadership race might get interesting after all. Ignatieff appears to be in the lead, but without enough to take it on the first ballot, and no secondary support. Bob Rae appears to be in second place, but he is the second choice of a large number of voters, he is...

Okay folks, I went crazy. I got thinking about the insistence of the anti-gun folks that we don't want to be like the AMERICANS, with no gun control, and blood running in the streets! I had read that murder was so high in American ghettoes that it skewed national figures, as (obviously) there...

Well, I knew it would happen. On another thread, the issue of gun control raised its ugly head. This was a completely understandable reaction to the Dawson College shootings, and I thought it desrved its own thread. So here we go. BTW, I'm an unapologetic gun nut. I own every type of weapon...

As I write this there is a very unpleasant situation unfolding in Montreal. At least one gunman has invaded Dawson College, a school for pre-university students (a private school, I suspect) At least four people have been shot, and one gunman is down. The question is are there more? There...

I'm on vacation. I'm not doing anything significant, so I packed up a lunch, and a rifle, and my wife and I headed for a friend's camp. It is wonderful to live in country like this. Drive for half an hour, park on the side of the road, step into the bush. Instant wild. It is truely amazing...

New information has been gained from Palestinian youths held in Ofer prison, an Israeli jail for Palestinians just outside Ramallah. Ofer has come under fire from human-rights groups alleging the torture and mistreatment of detainees. The prison was the site of large scale riots late last...

Well, it seems Joe Volpe, contender for the leadership of the Liberal Party of Canada, is exceptionally well-suited for that position. Under new rules for contributions to political campaigns, it is illegal to make a contribution in someone elses's name, or to supply money to someone for...

According to CTV News this evening, the Federal long gun registry will be castrated tomorrow. Oh, the Joy! Stockwell Day will announce a blanket, long-term amnesty for all long guns, thus effectively by-passing the registry while the government dismantles it. Responsibility for the...

I am constantly sickened by the folks on this forum who defend Iran and their quest for nuclear weapons, especially when they use the argument "the USA has thousands of nukes, so what if Iran wants a few. They are not so bad as the USA". Recently, I have been reading a bit about Iran. I...
