The Supreme Court of Canada has given a group of Canadian First Nations people the right to hunt at night despite the fact that night hunting is illegal throughout Canada.
Ten years ago two men from the Tsartlip reservation on Vancouver Island were hunting at night with rifles and electric torches (what I would assume would be spotlights). The two men bagged a deer, but it turned out the deer was in fact a decoy set up by conservation officers. They were arrested, but they argued that night hunting is a tradition guarunteed in the treaty their band signed with the government in 1852.
The case has apparentlty bounced around the different courts for the past decade until it was heard by the Supreme Court which ruled in the mens favour even though they were split on the issue, saying that public safety should outweigh all other concerns, even aboriginal rights.
The Supreme Courts decision will have undoubtedly opened a can of worms when other native groups and individuals start challenging current laws that conflict with long standing native traditions.
What is going to take priority, one group of peoples ancient traditions that are no longer necessary in todays modern world, or the public safety of the rest of Canada ?
Miss Nevada U.S.A. pictures, the ones that got her fired
The current Miss USA just about got fired by the Donald this past week because she was partying in night clubs while she was still underage. The current Miss Nevada USA, who was supposed to compete for Miss USA 2007, did get fired because she was caught on tape doing some things that apparently don't set a good example for young women and don't reflect the values of the Miss USA and Miss Universe contests. its too bad, i like her and think you will too.
i'm not sure what made me think of this today, maybe because harper made quebec a nation within canada, i don't know. its a parody of the molson canadian 'I AM' commercial.
I'm not unemployed or smuggling cigarettes across the border I don't eat Pepsi and May West for breakfast (*) I don't watch da hockey game doing it doggie-style And no, I don't know Claude, Manon, or François in Abitibi-Témiscamingue (*) But I'm sure they all have nice teeth
I smoke in church I speak Québecois in joual, not French or English I pronounce it "tird", not third And eating French fries with cheese makes sense, mon ostie, I believe in a distinct society, as long as someone else pays for it I believe in language-police, not equal rights And, calisse, I believe that Club Super-Sex is an appropriate place for my wife and me to celebrate our anniversaire What the hell, she goes on at ten anyway
In Québec, the Stanley Cup actually comes around more often than Halley's comet I can get beer at the dépanneur, not the convenience store And maybe I can't turn right on a red light But tabarnak, I can go right through it Because Québec is the world's largest producer of maple syrup The home of Céline Dion and Roch Voisine The land where everybody is shacking up and the legal drinking age is just a suggestion
Je m'appelle Guy, and I am not Canadian
Mot, t'a dit, tabarnak, ostie. Merci, salut la vedette
Politics'n'Poetry posted about Global Orgasm day a little while ago. I don't think I have ever heard about this, but now that I have I will certainly never forget it.
What is Global Orgasm Day you ask,
WHO? All Men and Women, you and everyone you know. WHERE? Everywhere in the world, but especially in countries with weapons of mass destruction. WHEN? Winter Solstice Day - Friday, December 22nd, at the time of your choosing, in the place of your choosing and with as much privacy as you choose. WHY? To effect positive change in the energy field of the Earth through input of the largest possible surge of human energy a Synchronized Global Orgasm. There are two more US fleets heading for the Persian Gulf with anti-submarine equipment that can only be for use against Iran, so the time to change Earth’s energy is NOW!
So if rubbing one out will help avert a war with Iran or stop current conflicts I'm all for it, even though Iran definately needs to be curb stomped.
I really don't believe this will help though, after all if it was true Josh Hughes could have single handedly accomplished world peace that time he claims to have jerked off 22 times in 2 and half hours or whatever ridiculous number it was.
A note to the ladies, if you need any help contributing to the Global Orgasm I will be in Regina on Friday the 22nd from approximately 12:30 p.m. until 5:00 p.m. and feel free to send any picture submissions from your contribution to breakfast meat(ladies only).
I have submitted another picture to 25 peeps for all of you to click on. It is the picture on the top right hand side of this page, and although it hasn't been put on the front page of 25 peeps yet, you can still click on it to help me out in anticipation of my triumphant return to 25 peeps.
and in other 25 peeps related stuff, what is up with the picture of Tricia Helfer ? According to the rules, pictures submitted have to be of the person who owns the blog, and Tricia Helfer most certainly does not own that blog unless she changed her name to glen garry. for those of you that don't know who Tricia Helfer is, you can find out more about her here, and here.
A solar flare Saskboy posted about earlier that might put the norther lights into overdrive tonight, might also have some negative side affects as well.
According to CTV.ca, this same solar flair could cause damage to satellites in space, as well as power grids, and communication systems here on Earth. In 1989 a solar flair caused damage Hydro Quebecs systems and left six million customers without power for nine hours.
So have your flashlight, candles, and extra blankets ready tonight just in case the worst should happen.
Although NASA isn't expecting any danger to astronauts in space, they have advised them to sleep in parts of the space station and shuttle that have extra radiation shielding.
I got these pictures in an email forward from Daralis, I don't know whether this email is true or not, but either way it is truly amazing to see that many empties in a house. If anyone knows the facts and fallacies regarding this email, leave a comment.
below is the email exactly how I received it.
A SINGLE GUY LIVED IN THIS TOWNHOUSE FOR 8 YEARS IN CALGARY, ALBERTA. THE LANDLORD THOUGHT HE WAS THE BEST RENTER BECAUSE HE NEVER CALLED OR COMPLAINED AND WAS NEVER LATE ON A PAYMENT. THESE PICTURES DON'T EVEN COME CLOSE TO WHAT IT REALLY LOOKED LIKE. "CENTURY 21 REALTY" HAD ALREADY MOVED SOME OF THE CANS OUT, AND THEY HAD CAVED IN THE TUNNELS THAT THE RENTER HAD MADE TO GET TO THE BEDROOM, BATHROOM, AND KITCHEN. All this, yet, you still don't see any dust or scattered clothes or any dirty dishes anywhere. Other than having a minor drinking problem, he was basically a very clean, organized person. Add to this, he was concerned about his health, proved by the fact that he drank a "Light" beer.
The Chevrolet Camaro is due to be re released in 2009. In ancticipation of more competition from the newly designed Camaro and from the recently released Dodge Charger and Magnum, Ford will be releasing a newly redesigned Mustang in 2011.
Muscle car enthusiasts will surely be having their wet dreams come true with new Camaros(and probably Firebirds), and Mustangs. The only problem is the rumour that the new Mustang will also come in a four door sedan, and station wagon models.
probably everyone will recognize joe rogan as the host from the reality tv show fear factor. others might also recognize him from his days on the sitcom news radio, and i believe he is also sometimes an anouncer on UFC pay per view events. i never knew though, that rogan is a stand up comedian, and a friggin' hilarious one. the video below is from one of his stand up acts, a female audience member heckles him and then he rips her a new one.
i was hoofed off 25 peeps sometime this morning. but no worries, ill be back, i promise. it kind of became addicting checking that page to see where my picture was located. so im going to submit another picture and see if they put it on.
Iran is hosting a conference in Tehran for those people that don't believe the holocaust ever happened or that it was extremely exagerated. President Ahmadinejad told people attending the conference that Israels days are numbered. "Thanks to people's wishes and God's will, the trend for the existence of the Zionist regime is downwards and this is what God has promised and what all nations want," he said. "Just as the Soviet Union was wiped out and today does not exist, so will the Zionist regime soon be wiped out," he added. His comments were applauded by those attending the conference which included ultra orthodox jews, and European, and American writer who believe that the holocaust never happened or that it was exagerated. The thing that boggles my mind is that any Jew would attend such a conference, no matter how orthodox they may be, why would they want the state of Israel destroyed ?
I have added a dictionary of sorts to Breakfast Meat, a note to those who are interested in what could be listed in this dictionary--don't enter if you are easily offended. Now that you've been warned, if you're still interested come find out what a Dirty Sanchez or Puerto Rican Fog Bank among other things are.
Meaghan Walker-Williams over at Somena Media has been rooting for me on 25 peeps, as well as providing my referal link for her readers to click on. I guess I should do the same for her, so here is her referal link, remember to click it, but only after clicking on mine. Here is the post on Somena Media which will show you the picture of MWW, myself, and another blogger she is endorsing for 25 peeps, while you're at you might as well click the other person too after you've clicked on me.
My Dad and I went and saw Bobby last night in Regina. This flick wasn't terrible but for all the well known and talented actors in it I think it could have been better. In addition to the actors listed and pictured in the poster below Ashton Kutcher was in it, he played a drug dealer who gave two of the people working on Kennedy's campaign LSD, they then proceeded to play tennis stoned, throw t.v.'s out the window, and tried to take a crap in a cats litter box(definately one of the funniest scenes in the movie). Martin Sheen was also in it, and I realized I will never be able to picture him as anyone except President Bartlet from The West Wing. Some of the other movies I've seen lately include; James Bond Casino Royale, The Departed, and I know I've seen others too but I can't think of them right now
i've been added to 25 peeps, i signed up a long time ago and my picture was added there today. so click on this link to keep me on there. the way i understand it is the more people click this picture or link the longer i stay on 25 peeps, the longer i stay on 25 peeps the more traffic breakfast meat will get. so in addition to the people that find their way here from the sask blogs aggregator, all you balcarres and abernethy people click the 25 peeps link too.
I have driven buses loaded to capacity during horrible snow storms, I have moved seven times in the past three years(3 of which have been in the last 9 months), I have been in car accidents, snowmobile accidents, been in shit at work, and have recently been through a huge change in family situations. None of these normally stressful situations have bothered me nearly as much as it bothers me to make my bed.
For some bizarre reason I come close to suffering a nervous break down every time I muster up the courage to make my bed. It begins when I start taking the bedding off my bed to wash, and proceeds until the task is complete. I break into a sweat, I get a headache, and sometimes I think I hear things. I have no explanation why I turn into a bumbling wackadoo that hears things and sweats like a pig when I perform the simple task of tucking sheets into a mattress, but can drive a 50 foot vehicle with 47 passengers on board during zero visibility on black ice and not break a sweat.
Anyways, my bed is made now. The headache is subsiding, I'm starting to dry off, and the voices have left, now I can sleep.
With Bob Rae knocked out the contest in third place, it looks like the N.D.P. will have to wait a while longer for another chance at the position of Prime Minister.
UPDATE: i figured out the story behind this video. the name of the man who opens the tent and interupts bush and harper batheing is André Boisclair, who is openly homosexual and leader of the Parti Quebecois. The translation of what he says is "Quebec will never get involved".
The National Institute on Media and the Family released its 11th annual report on video games. According to them these ten games are to be avoided by kids and teens because of the sex and violence portrayed in them. -Gangs of London -The Sopranos -Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories -Reservoir Dogs -Mortal Kombat: Unchained -Scarface: The World is Yours -The Godfather: Mob Wars -Saints Row -Dead Rising -Just Cause
so in other words, if you are looking for a game to give to a kid or teen this christmas that you know they'll love, buy them one of the games listed above, or this one.
Colin Thatcher, son of former Saskatchewan Premier Ross Thatcher, and a former Saskatchewan M.L.A. himself, who was convicted of murdering his ex wife Joann Wilson was granted full parole today. Personally I don't think he was responsible for the murder of his ex, and even if he did do it, he's served ample time, there are more dangerous offenders who should be occupying Canada's prisons than 68 year old former provincial politicians. Besides we should be worrying about locking up these criminals, especially Rae.
