Canadian Senators Recieving Emergency Funds

A $300,000.00 yearly emergency fund which was distributed primarily to Liberal Senators that had run low on their annual budget was shut down last month. Senator Marjory LeBreton, the leader of the government in the Senate only learned of the slush fund after it had been shut down by the Liberal dominated Senate. The Conservative obviously have a problem with this emergency money, especially since it wasn't a program that was known to many people while the Liberals have less of a problem with it and are accusing the Conservatives of using this in any upcoming election to campaign for Senate Reform.

Saskatchewan ! = $1,500,000.00

Although I agree that Saskatchewan is the best place to live, work, and raise a family, I'm not sure adding an exclamation point to the end of Saskatchewan is worth the 1.5 million dollars that our government paid.

Fill in Plow Operator involved in Roll Over

There were 41 crashes across Saskatchewan on Monday that RCMP are investigating. The crashes occured while Saskatchewan snow plow operators and other dept. of highways employees were taking part in strike action.

One of the crashes involved a snow plow that was being driven by a manager filling in for picketing union members. It is unknown whether the manager was plowing snow, or driving somewhere to plow when the crash happened. The driver was taken to hospital though as a precautionary measure and later released.

The striking snow plow operators have been told to go back to work because of what I would only assume is the negative reaction from their strike taking place during winter storm warnings. Another winter storm warning has been issued for tonight.

Get Back to Work

Another winter storm is hitting southern Saskatchewan and right on cue the SGEU strike has escalated to include highway workers that are responsible for clearing and salting the highways. Murray Wood just interviewed Patrick book who has been on the Trans Canada highway since around 6 a.m. this morning and hasn't seen a snow plow yet.

I'm a government employee that belongs to a union, but not the SGEU, and I do not think these guys should be striking. In fact if there are any injuries, or loss of life on a particular stretch of highway, those who were scheduled to work in that area should be held personally responsible.

Natives Allowed To Hunt at Night

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 ?

Global Orgasm Day !!!!!

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).

Iran hosts anti holocaust delegation

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 ?

Israeli P.M. admits having nuclear weapons

In an interview with a German television station the Israeli Prime Minister was asked about Iran's calls for the destruction of Israel.
The Prime Minister's response was this, "Iran openly, explicitly and publicly threatens to wipe Israel off the map," Olmert said. "Can you say that this is the same level, when you are aspiring to have nuclear weapons, as America, France, Israel, Russia?"
In addition to this comment, the U.S.A.'s new defence secretary identified Israel as a nuclear power only days ago.
Is this the end to Israel's policy of ambiguity regarding its supposed nuclear weapons program ?

still no N.D.P. Prime Minister for the foreseeable future

Stephane Dion is the new leader of the Liberal Party of Canada.

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.

rub a dub dub, bush and harper in a tub

Deny, Deny, Deny

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.

I'm not entirely sure why, but J.C. Watts who is a former M.V.P. for the Ottawa Rough Riders and former Republican Congressman was being interviewed on C.N.N.
kind of neat seeing a former C.F.L.er on C.N.N. I did once get driven around Honalulu by a former Saskatchewan Roughrider on a city transit bus. If I can figure out his name I'll let you know.

Israeli F-16's buzz German ship, get accused of attack

two junior German defence ministers have made an accusation that Israeli F-16 fighter jets flew low over a German naval vessel, fired two shots, and activated infra red counte measures. The German naval vessel is patrolling the coast of Lebanon as part of the international peace keeping efforts after the Israeli-Lebanese/Hezbollah war from this past summer.

Republican ad yanked from airwaves--South Korea imposes sanctions against North Korea

the republican campaign ad in a hotly contested riding in tennessee has been pulled off the airwaves. the ad was critisized in Canada for its depiction of Canadians as being uninvolved in world events and one man in the ad said "Canada can take care of North Korea, they're not busy". below is the ad.



South Korea announced today that they will enforce U.N. sanctions against North Korea by banning officials from the North from entering the south and by controlling financial transactions between the two countries. Yesterday the North said that any move by the South to impose sanctions would be viewed as 'declaration of confrontation' that would cause 'corresponding measures from the Norht'. I don't know exactly what that means, but it kind of sounds like the North might get pretty pissy if their cousins to the South don't play nice and share with them.

expect more canadian fatalities in afghanistan

the canadian public should prepare itself for more of our soldiers not returning home from afghanistan, not because of increased al qaeda or taliban attacks but because the canadian forces may be sending the sea king helicopters to help transport troops and equipment. soldiers that are about to deploy to afghanistan were trained last month on the aging and jinxed helicopters. apparently our army is short handed when it comes to helicopter support and both the U.S. military and Boeing have refused to lease Canada the necessary equipment. currently Canada relies on the Netherlands, Britain, and the U.S. for use of their helicopters. the five sea kings that canadian soldiers have been training on have been stripped of their anti submarine equipment and been replaced with troop seats, army radios, and GPS systems(something you'd think a helicopter should have already).

possible second nuclear test by north korea

Japan's meteorological agency has detected a magnitude 6.0 earthquake from North Korea which has prompted speculation that the communist regime has test detonated a second nuclear weapon. come on W, send in the troops and lets reunify the korean peninsula.

UPDATE: everything appears to be normal and seems to have been just a false alarm.

kiss my ass george

with the exception of his religious beliefs, i think George W. Bush is a great president. I do acknowledge though, that a lot of people do not share my opinion of the leader of our neighbours to the south. for those people that dislike the American president, kiss my ass george is for you.

Seismic activity in North Korea seems to indicate truth to report of nuclear test

A U.S. military official told CNN that "something clearly has happened," but the Pentagon was working to fully confirm the report.
Other senior U.S. officials said they also believed the test took place, citing seismic data that appears to show one.
The U.S. Geological Survey Web site recorded a light 4.2-magnitude earthquake in North Korea at 10:35 a.m., about 385 kilometers (240 miles) northeast of the North Korean capital, Pyongyang.
South Korean intelligence officials said a seismic wave of magnitude-3.58 had been detected in North Hamkyung province.

mini bush vs. mr. dithers

if you go to stephen harpers page on the internet movie database you will notice that he is listed as having the nicknames of bogeyman, mini-bush, and bushien. if you go to the same section for paul martin you will notice that his most noticeable nickname of mr. dithers is not listed. this is bullshit, the imdb should either remove these nicknames for p.m. harper or add mr. dithers to former p.m. martins profile. and besides, to the best of my knowledge harper is only called the above names by those that don't support him here in canada, martin was called mr. dithers not only by those that didn't support him at home but by those abroad as well.

Iran captures and occupies Romanian oil rig

Iranian warships fired at, then boarded and occupied a Romanian owned oil rig located in the Persian Gulf on August 22nd. Iranian officials haven't responded to their unprovoked act of aggression, but a Romanian national security advisor said the occupation of the rig is the result of a commercial disagreement between Iran and Romania that Iran is treating 'in an extreme way'.

Maybe this isn't the doomsday prophecy which was predicted to happen today, but it sure is crazy.

C.W.B.

i've been troubled by leftdogs post on buckdog about the canadian wheat board and his request for P.M.Harper to keep his hands off of it. when the CWB was created it was in response to world war two, to make sure canadian farmers sold their grain at fair prices and weren't able to gouge the consumer during tough times. some may argue that the wheat board insures fair market prices for canadian producers, while others say it insures the same price for all farmers but that price is not fair. the wheat board also only applies to farmers in the prairie provinces.

if the wheat board is such a great organization why aren't eastern farmers scrambling to get on board ? when sasktel was forced to compete with other long distance companies for saskatchewanians business, they became more competitive than they were previously and now sasktel customers are some of the most loyal for that very reason.also it was said that the farmers should vote to determine the future of the wheat board, will this vote include farmers in the east who aren't affected by the CWB, and most certainly it will include those former or retired farmers that still hold permit books.

the wheat board is one of the most secretive government agencies in canada, and is one of only two government agencies that are not subject to public audits, what does a grain marketing agency have to hide i wonder ?

i am obviously for the abolishment of the canadian wheat board, i welcome comments from those of you that agree with me, and since i have an open mind i challenge those who disagree with me to comment as well to try to change my mind.

canada a nuclear power ?

tonight i was reading a blog called red, white, and plaid. the author of this blog made a post about canada taking over the world, i assume he was being funny but there was one thing i found interesting in his post. he wrote that according to the wikipedia canada had a clandestine nuclear weapons program under the leadership of prime minister john diefenbaker and that the weapons produced are still around to this day. obviously this is a conspiracy theory with probably little to no basis in fact but it is interesting none the less. there were american nuclear weapons based on canadian soil with dual key control during the sixties, and six canadian squadron in europe also carried nuclear air to air missiles under the NATO nuclear weapons sharing program. its nice to learn that at one time canada had balls, its also funny to learn we had six air force squadrons based in europe, i wonder if we even have six air force squadrons in the entire air force these days.

incentive to vote liberal

Segolene Royal, who will be running for the presidency of France under the socialist party banner has recently been photographed by paparazi wearing a bikini while on vacation. apparently the french public wasn't very pleased with the media turning their attention from celebrities to politicians. too bad the press in canada won't track down our lady politicians on vacation, i wouldn't mind catching a glimpse of belinda stronach in a two piece.

d'oh

china has banned all foreign cartoons and animation from prime time television. foreign cartoons, especially those from japan are extremely popular with chinese youth. only chinese made cartoons will be aired between the hours of 5 and 8 p.m. in an effort to promote the chinese animation industry and to make chinese cartoons more popular with chinese children. although the canadian government hasn't gone to these extremes to promote canadian made programs it is vaguely remeniscent of the canadian content laws that force radio and television stations to air a certain amount of canadian artists, and programs.

August 22nd----Doomsday ?

during the cold war the soviet union and the united states refrained from attacking each other because of mutually assured destruction, or MAD. basically this meant that if one side were to nuke the other they could be assured that their opponents response would also be nuclear and the destruction of both countries way of life.
iran doesn't share the same views when it comes to mutually assured destruction. if they were to attack israel, they would not be worried about possible nuclear retaliation from israel because the current iranian leadership are strong beleivers in the 12th imam. basically they beleive this 12th imam who god has hidden for hundreds of years will bring about islam as the religion of all man kind and although many islamics would be killed in the ensuing war, it would be worth it to the 12th imam beleivers because of all the zionist deaths.
why august 22nd ? well according to an islamic calendar, august 22nd lines up with the date that the prophet muhammed flew to jerusalem, then to heaven and back. sounds crazy to me but i guess the president of iran is a strong beleiver in all this religious superstition.
read the articles, and the description of the 12th imam on wikipedia to better understand this garbage(if its possible).

on another note, i would never put christian beliefs in the same boat as radical islamic ones, but just think what some people think about a story of a man stuffing two of each creature on earth onto a boat to repopulate the earth, also the story of that guy that parted the red sea to escape egyptians, and that other fairly notable figure that turned water into wine(not that that wouldn't be sweet) and walked on water. growing up and being taught these stories lots of people accept them without thinking, but step back for a minute and take a look at them from a non believers point of view and you might see how crazy they sound. having faith in something is good, but personally i think all religions are crazy. i look at an evangelical christian the same way i look at a radical muslim, as a crazy person.

troop numbers up

in the deadliest week of canada's mission in afganistan, troop recruitments are up, despite the staggering(sarcasm) loss of 26 canadian soldiers during operation enduring freedom. the canadian forces average around 25,000 new recruits in a year, so far in the last six months they have already recruited 17,000 men and women.

i thought i recognized the woman who lost several homes in beirut

i'm sure i was the last person to hear about the woman in beirut who lost multiple homes during attacks by the israeli defense forces. i thought i recognized her, and i was right...

here she is flipping out at the loss of her campsite in craven with cory laughing menacingly in the background.

here she is distressed in my parents backyard in abernethy in front of hector and i.

and here she is angry at the party betty and tyler lewis are throwing in her home in medecine hat albera.

she even thinks Mel Gibsons anti semetical remarks have been blown out of proportion.

Canada, Brazil, and Japan-- a peace keeping dream team ?

according to Mustapha from Beirut Spring, the Lebanese are most likely to trust Canadian, Brazilian, and Japanese peacekeepers if there is to be any kind of U.N. force to peacekeep in southern Lebanon.

its good to see that Canada is still held in high regard in some portions of the middle east.
