It's true. Some of them even chartered a bus from Victoria so they could join in the games. There is even a picture on here somewhere of them using a gas generator to power on Burnaby mountain. Burning trees as well. Something that none of us would be permitted to do in a park.

Ah, taxslave, ever the victim.

Justin Trudeau Gives Exclusive Interview To Muslim Paper That Published Article Stating ISIS Is A Zionist Plot

Jonathan Halevi informs us that Justin Trudeau recently gave an exclusive interview to the al-Ameen Post, a BC based Muslim newspaper.
In the article he stresses that Islam has been wrongly persecuted since 911 and should never be linked to terror attacks perpetrated by Muslims, he goes on to paint himself as a strong voice on the side of Muslims and notes with the usual Liberal knee-jerk spasm of moral equivalence that all groups harbour extremists.
I decided to do a little more digging into the al-Ameen Post. A quick site search I conducted for the term “Zionist” turned up 110 references, most of which are to the “Zionist Entity” a favoured term for Israel used by anti-Semites.
Previously the al-Ameen Post was forced to apologize for publishing an article on Jewish “Organ Harvesting” of Palestinians, which they absurdly described as a mere “faux pas”. In light of this I can understand how Trudeau would consider al-Ameen a suitable platform for a statement on Liberal Party policy and recruitment.
Within the search I conducted was an article published on 9-24-2014, which refers to ISIS as a Zionist Plot.
Earlier this month, Sheikh Ahmed el-Tayeb, the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, has condemned ISIL, accusing it of serving a “Zionist” plot to “destroy the Arab World”.
A few weeks ago, Saudi Grand Mufti Sheikh Abdul Aziz al-Sheikh condemned Al-Qaeda and the Islamic State jihadists as “enemy number one” of Islam, urging Muslims to take up arms against the militant group’s members.

One wonders how he manages to live where he does considering all the tree huggers and union workers he must put up with....and let's not even start with teachers.

I work on real construction jobs most of the time. Teachers we mostly just ignore except when they whine for more money and less work. Which is most of the time. Then we tell them to get a real job if they don't like what the one they got pays. Except most of them lack real job skills. Kind of like cannuck.

Judging from the amount of whining you do about teachers, it appear your tactics are failing.

Never been a teacher, have you?

Spend a little time on the other side of the desk, and you might modify your opinion.

I do have sympathy for one aspect of the teacher's job, when it comes to disciplining the little darlings I don't think they always get the support they should from the parents. On the plus side they have guaranteed hours, guaranteed salary, guaranteed holidays and they are not subject to harsh climatic conditions, so for the most part I'm with Taxslave on this one.:)

Teachers here are well-paid, they get muchos vacation time, and a lot of them are not-so-competent.

But damn it is a lousy, stressful job.

Funny you say "the little darlings", which was the way one old teacher from Britain always talked about his worst students in the teachers' room.....oh, and the grade 11 girl named "Chastity" universally known by the teachers as "Oxy" for oxymoron.

Oh, Shiny Pony!


Oh nooos!
Former Canadian Forces general Andrew Leslie will carry the Liberal banner in Orléans in next year's federal election, but his nomination Saturday was marred by a chaotic and divisive scene in which police had to break up a noisy scuffle.
Leslie, an advisor to Liberal leader Justin Trudeau, was acclaimed by Liberals in Ottawa-Orléans as their candidate for the 2015 election, when the riding will be known simply as Orléans.

But the event turned into a political embarrassment for Leslie when his only rival, Ottawa lawyer David Bertschi, showed up with some angry supporters to complain that the party had acted undemocratically last month in disqualifying him from seeking the nomination.

"Shame, shame, shame," some of those Liberals chanted as it became clear that Leslie was about to be acclaimed without a fight from his rival.
Not again!
