Like him, love him, or hate him, this one says a lot!!Only he could get away with this ....Hello, dummies! Oh my God, look at you. Anyone else hurt in the accident?Seriously, Senator Reid has a face of a Saint - A Saint Bernard. Now I know why they call you the arithmetic man. You add partisanship, subtract pleasure, divide attention, and multiply ignorance. Reid is so physically unimposing,...
I've been thinking about who my favorite MP is and I have a few favorites, Laurie Hawn, and Rona Ambrose come to mind, but if I had to pick only one, it would be Mike Lake, Edmonton-Millwoods-Beaumont. Why?Superficially, he is young, great looking, has a wife who is beautiful, and a young family. More importantly, with a young family it must be hard to leave to do his job in Ottawa. His son is...
The Tory Boy has struck again, this time it's the long gun registry he's highlighted. Good one Tory Boy!It's up to you, if you are represented by a Liberal or NDP MP, call them and let them know that you want more police and less gun registry. Let them know your vote will go to the Conservatives if they don't vote for scrapping the crap. I wonder what Goodale is going to do. He has to know ...
I really feel that the mosque in New York at ground zero is a slap in the face to all westerners. It is a sad statement about terrorism. The victims are forgotten in the politically correct atmosphere that doesn't allow anyone to criticize Islam without being called a bigot.I remember the morning of September 11, I hope we all do. Unfortunately, many people seem to prefer to forget that over 3...
Welfare Check A guy walked into the local welfare office to pick up his check. He marched straight up to the counter and said, "Hi.. You know...., I just HATE drawing welfare. I'd really rather have a job." The social worker behind the counter said, "Your timing is excellent. We just got a job opening from a very wealthy old man who wants a Chauffeur and bodyguard for his beautiful daughte...
Everyone thinks CBC is biased, but CTV is by far more disgusting in their coverage of our PM.Compare and contrast these two videos:CTV mocks the PM for dancing. Now watch the real video, without editorial comment:David Akin supplies the real video. Can you see the difference? CTV mocks the PM, the laughing and giggling is really juvenile. The video is stupid and defines how immature CTV really ...
I spent all day getting my boys registered for school. Most kids had their parents with them, even though they were in grade 12. My grade twelve kid liked having me with him, but my grade nine kid didn't want me to stand in line with him until it was time to pay his fees. The point is that I was with them whether they wanted me to be or not. They know I care. They know I am interested in what ...
Seeing as nothing much is happening on the political scene, except Wayne Easter from PEI making a fool of himself again, I thought you might be interested in my new hobby..... stripping! HA!I started with one small project, and it has expanded from there.I forgot to get a before picture of my first attempt (above), but I have some of my next attempt.A $10 garage sale find, that got transformed ...
Politicians have a habit of getting into office and then forgetting that it is the voters who got them the job. A great example is going on right now in Edmonton. We have a wonderful city center airport about 5 minutes from downtown, and our mayor wants to close it and put up condos. Did I mention our mayor is a real estate developer? Our international airport is 45 minutes outside of the city,...
Even with Iggy and the Liberals tanking, the Conservatives are not getting any traction with the electorate. Why?In my opinion, the Conservatives have forgotten to be Conservative. I understand that they had to move to the center to gain more votes, but in doing so, they have become mushy. We know the Liberals have no principals and cater to special interest groups, while the NDP cater to the f...
Usually Catholics vote Liberal, I'm not sure why, but they do. Has that trend changed? I think it has. Door knocking last election, it was clear that the Chinese vote was shifting to the Conservatives, now I think the Catholic vote is also going towards Harper.Take my Liberal parents for example. They think Trudeau walked on water. So, imagine my surprise when they wanted a plaque from PM Harp...
Had a wonderful holiday, but now I'm back to bug you, and what better way than Friday night funnies. Enjoy!---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------A woman was having a daytime affair while her husband was at work. One rainy day she was in bed with her boyfriend when, to her horror, she heard her husband's car pull into the...
My parents are celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary this weekend, so we are off to Kelowna, for some sun, golf and great food.Of course my sister phoned me yesterday in a panic about us giving a speech, so I was up until 4 o`clock going through 4 hours of old videos and putting the best parts into movie maker for a video presentation. This COULD have been done months ago, but no one thoug...
I voted for Ted Morton, but all the lefties who signed up for PC memberships wanted Dinning, because of the lefties interfering in a PC leadership vote, we ended up with Red Ed.Even if Red Ed was to retire tomorrow and Ted Morton was made Premier, I would not change my vote. PC's are red liberals. They are done. It's time for new blood. Morton had his chance to lead a new Conservative party, ...
A modern day cowboy has spent many days crossing the Saskatchewan prairieswithout water.His horse has already died of thirst.He's crawling along the dusty ground, certain that he has breathed his lastbreath, when all of a sudden he sees an object sticking out of the groundseveral yards ahead of him.He crawls to the object, pulls it out of the ground and discovers whatlooks to be an old briefc...
I love rodeos, especially the bull riding, where the bulls usually beat up badly on the cowboys. Unfortunately sometimes, especially with the chuck wagon races, horses get hurt or die. When that happens, all the PETA people crawl out of the woodwork, and a great cry goes up against the rodeo. Do they not understand that horses love to run? That the bulls usually kick the cowboys butts? That th...
Really? 25 years married to the same guy? I got my oldest boy to go dig out the wedding album. His first comment was, "Wow, I didn't realize you had colour back then", this sent me into a fit of laughter that had him looking at me like I had lost it, and the old folks home was not far off.No marriage is without it's bumps, but we have worked them out, and our relationship is stronger than w...
Honour killings, where's the honour? Who's honour? Some 7th century immigrant male who thinks he is superior to any female? It is disgusting. It does not belong in Canada. You will all nod your heads in agreement, but many will fail to understand the deep fear women live with everyday.I had the chance to talk with a beautiful young woman from Afghanistan. I mentioned sharia law and her eyes w...
Or, protesters wear black boots like the police so that they can scream conspiracy.Thugs learn by experience.A sexual predator happened by our old house one day, he exposed himself to the female tenant in the basement apartment. The police knew who he was, and went to his house to apprehend him. He had run home and changed his shoes because the last time he had been caught, the police could tie...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SOME OF YOU ARE SAFE - SOME ARE NOT!I thought you would want to know about this e-mail virus. Even the most advanced programs from Norton or McAfee cannot take care of this one. It appears to affect those who were born prior to 1953.Symptoms:1. Causes you to send the same e-mail twice. ...
How could gays work so hard to get recognition and then blow it all off by supporting a group that spouts hate? Is it because they have no "cause" to fight for anymore? They can yap about free speech all they want but not on the taxpayers dime. You want a parade? You raise funds and do it on your own, especially if you want to include groups with political agendas. So says the Toronto council...
I found the outpouring of respect for our Queen very enjoyable to watch. I wish I was close enough to have lined up to see her. As a matter of fact, I wish my boys could have gone to Ottawa to see, not only her, but our Parliament buildings.The media couldn't hide her visit, and they also couldn't hide our PM's obvious respect and admiration for the Queen. If Obama had any smarts, he would h...
Not so good. I was browsing real estate sites today, and it was really very depressing, unless you are an investor.I set my perimeters for $150000 or less, and headed to Arizona and Texas. I thought I would find a few properties, boy was I shocked!Lots of short sales and foreclosures. Look at that, you can get a 3000 to 3500 sqft house in San Tan Valley for $140,000! Winter vacation hear I come...
Like most Canadians, I never really paid attention to politics until Adscam hit the news. I had always voted Conservative/Reform/Alliance hoping that one day we would get into power. I thought Paul Martin had been a good finance minister and wouldn't have minded too much if he got elected PM. Well he did, and he was awful. He can try to blame Adscam for his failure, but he was obviously lost w...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------My neighbour found out that her dog ( a Schnauzer) could hardly hear, so she took it to the veterinarian.The vet found that the problem was hair in the dog's ears. He cleaned both ears, and the dog could then hear fine. The vet then proceeded to tell the lady that, if she wanted to keep this from recurring, ...
What an interesting contrast we have between the protesters at the G20 and the crowds for Canada Day. The G20 protests cost us a billion dollars to keep the leaders safe. Thankfully no bombs were planted or world leaders were hurt on our soil. What we have are the hurt feelings of protesters who couldn't get a veggie meal in the holding pens. What spoiled little brats with nothing better to do...
(Red Green has nothing on my husband and duct tape!)We shouldn't only celebrate Canada on one day, we should celebrate it everyday! What a wonderful country we live in. I am so lucky to be a 4th generation Canadian raising my boys in a country that everyone in the world wants to live in. The peace and quiet of Canada can not be disrupted by protesters, unions, media and special interest groups...
It appears that Iggy is off to England to show his Canadian credentials to Europe. You know, he is going to trumpet how great Canada is because he has been there for what...five years now? He is going to pledge his undying love of.....?????? Right. The guy needs to understand Canadians and he is off to Europe to find that one proud Canadian with a flag on their backpack. Liberals talk about Can...
WendysaidSince when did Harper care about millions of people suffering. Harper only cares about his own political interests. He showed a complete lack of empathy when he broke his word and destroyed the savings of a couple of million seniors who believed him when he said he would protect our savings in Income Trusts. Where was his care and consideration on Halloween 2006? Seems he only cares on...
I want to know what those idiots are actually protesting. I saw the destruction, for destruction's sake, I saw the windows being shattered, but most importantly, I heard the supposedly peaceful protesters cheering with each shattering window. At least the protesters during the Olympics shut down because of the terrorists, but it seems that Toronto just doesn't have the same level of class. It...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------If you are 30, or older, you might think this is hilarious! When I was a kid, adults used to bore me to tears with their tedious diatribes about how hard things were. When they were growing up; what with walking twenty-five miles to school every morning.... Uphill... Barefoot... BOTH ways… yadda, yadda, yadda A...
The NDP think our health care system is close to perfect. The Liberals think our health care system is??? Who knows what the Liberals think today. The Conservatives are too chicken to actually change anything for fear of losing the next election. Canada’s health care better only than America's: reportCanadian health care ranks second to last compared with seven industrialized nations, accord...
I feel the earth move under my feet....Moderate 5.0 earthquake shakes Ontario, Quebec, and U.S.Glad no one was hurt. The comments are interesting to read. I was just talking with my kids and their friends today about what 2012 might hold for us, we all agreed we would just have to wait and see. It's interesting to see them maturing and thinking about more than just themselves. They were suppos...
Seriously, let's not discriminate here, all ships are a danger to the environment, and planes and off shore oil wells, and Liberals. Let me get this straight. Tankers from Saudi Arabia are allowed to deliver oil to Quebec and Ontario, and it's not a problem, but tankers taking Alberta/Sask oil to China and India is a big no no? Is Iggy serious? Send Canadian money for blood oil out of the cou...
Or not! So far all I have seen reported from the center of the universe, Toronto, is that they do not want the G20 meeting there. Why not? They didn't seem to have a problem when the unions stunk the city up with garbage. The Tamil Tiger protests shut down huge parts of Toronto, and that was okay, but world leaders coming to Toronto is a problem?Has Toronto forgotten that trade with these coun...
That's the lefty mantra. Free anything for votes. How realistic is all this free stuff?Not very. Let's take free university as an example. Only 75% of high school kids graduate. What would happen if those 75% got free tuition? Salaries would go down, because many university jobs are non-union. Lets talk about lawyers. We already have too many of them because they have no quotes, so the value ...

He advised her that he was holding her personally responsible for them staying fro...
We have all seen the video of Libby having a Helen Thomas moment, but it made me remember this little gem:Insite promotes drug dependency, and so apparently does NDP MP Libby Davies. Now, that's okay, it's her opinion, but she accuses the Conservatives of getting their facts wrong, when it is crystal clear she is the one who is wrong. All Canadians, but especially Chinese Canadians deserve an...
Seriously, who thinks Canadian artists deserve taxpayer money? Only Canadian artists! My kid plays a mean trombone, does that qualify him for a subsidy/grant? Does playing it on a street corner qualify for funding? How about theater performances, can I get funding if I create the organic (not orgasmic) carrot documentary? Oh, well, I'm just being silly. Or not.The lefty media is taking aim at ...
Well it seems NBC thinks that's a solution to the oil spill. When asked what President Obama needs to do to prove to Americans that his administration is on top of the Gulf cleanup, Ed Schultz pressed that the President needs to call the shots and go "dictator" in his dealings with BP. "I think the President has to make it very clear to the American people tonight, Chris, that we're not go...
