Time to stop fighting America’s wars
So much for the special relationship between Britain and the US.  After years of laying down British lives in Iraq and Afghanistan, isn’t it time for some support back from the States?  Yet Obama doesn’t even feel able to offer words of support when the Argies try to blockade British territory in the south Atlantic.  Instead, he declares his country to be neutral. It was unders

A new coalition partner
It seems the marxist dictator hugo chavez thinks Canad is run by an ultra right wing govrnment. I guess he is now in coalition talks with iffy and jack.The bolivarian revolution is receding throughout Latin America and Venezuela is an economic basket case. iffy and jack must be so proud of their new ally who also insults HM Forces ."I am talking of a Canada governed by an ultraright that close

Iggy & Hugo
The question of the day:Who sends who the talking points? Does Iggy send them down to Hugo Chavez? Or is Hugo Chavez enlisting Michael Ignatieff into the Chavezification movement?At this point, we can't tell. But we know they each share an abiding dislike of Stephen Harper. They are both alight with anger over the move to prorogue Canada's parliament. And they are both interested in, to use

Standing up for Canada
I wonder how long it will take for the Liberal Party of Canada or its leader, Michael Ignatieff, to stand up for Canada and respond to the slanderous allegations by Venezuela’s ambassador to the Organization of American States, Roy Chaderton Matos, that Canadian soldiers in Afghanistan are guilty of torture and assassinations. I doubt we’ll hear any defence of Canada from Jack Layton or the N

Unrest in Venezuala increases.
With the people in Venezuala getting angrier and angrier with their would-be dictator, the unrest is increasing, and clashes heating. On youth is reportedly dead. Police and supporters of President Hugo Chavez clashed with students in cities across the country Monday during protests over the government forcing an opposition channel off cable TV. One youth was reported killed and 16 people suffered

More bullshit from our friend ooooooohgo
There was all kinds of outrage from the left when Pat Robertson made his batshit-crazy comments on Haiti, & rightly so. He's a senile crackpot & deserved the flack he received. Yet when Danny Glover made similarily offensive remarks on Haiti, there was zipola in the indignation department from his ideological soulmates. Double standard from the left?? But of course.Well here's a chance for them

He'll bring some excellent management into these stores!President Hugo Chavez Sunday ordered the expropriation of a French-owned hypermarket chain that operates close to a dozen stores in Venezuela, accusing it of price speculation following the country's currency devaluation.Mr. Chavez said his government would seize control of the Exito hypermarket chain, majority owned by France-based Casino

Chavez accuses US of occupying Haiti....
He should be reaching out to the US to coordinate efforts....Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez on Sunday accused the United States of using the earthquake in Haiti as a pretext to occupy the devastated Caribbean country and offered to send fuel from his OPEC nation."I read that 3,000 soldiers are arriving, Marines armed as if they were going to war. There is not a shortage of guns there, my God.

Stop the presses - Harper runs a tight ship!
Columnist John Ivison had an attack of the vapours in today's National Post in an article titled PM tightens grip on power. Ivison accuses Harper of running the government like Louis "I am the state" XIV ran France, and solemnly intones that academics who have recently protested the prorogation of Parliament would be "shocked at the extent to which Mr. Harper now controls every aspect of gover

Watching socialism fail
In recent days, the inherent failure of socialism and it’s need for tyranny have been exhibited for the world to see.  Hugo Chavez first devalued the bolivar, Venezuela’s currency.  This was done because he needs more money domestically, and since oil is sold in dollars this gives him 17% more cash on hand.  Of course, [...]

Did Iffy just point a loaded gun at his own head?
Wow... the Liberals have launched what could be the most negative attack ad in Canadian history, trying to liken Prime Minister Harper with the likes of Robert Mugabe, Hugo Chavez, and just about every other murderous tin-pot world dictator.

Of shamelessly contrived crises by the usual suspects...
Does anyone else also suspect that behind closed doors where MSM editors and journalists meet, primarily in eastern establishments, jubilant high fives are being exchanged?Two reasons would be: a) Because the latest poll shows that Harper and the CPC are taking a hit.b) Because it means the MSM still matters to enough people to enable it to influence public opinion (meaning, herd the unwashed mass

KAIROS's continuing cover-up
KAIROS's Twitter page is eye-clawingly boring so it's no surprise that fewer than a hundred people follow it. That pitiful number in itself is a proof point that KAIROS doesn't really represent anybody other than their own staff -- certainly not the millions of Canadian Christians in whose names they claim to operate. Almost all of KAIROS's Tweets this past month have been self-serv

2009: My Year in Review
I must say that 2009 has been a fascinating year, for better or worse. It was the year of Obama and Pelosi, who have been behaving like kids in a candy story since they assumed control of the Whitehouse, Senate, and House or the first time in a long time. In Canada, the average person could be fooled into thinking we had controversy after controversy, even if they were all contrived by an oppositi

A Cardinal That's About To Be Silenced
Welcome to Hugo Chavez's Venezuela:"This is a very complex issue, but there is no doubt that there are people in prison simply because they are accused of some crime simply because they do not agree with the political agenda of the national government..."(link)There's only part of Cardinal Urosa's remarks that I disagree with. This isn't a "very complex issue." He's being to generous.

It is sometimes difficult to support the federal Conservatives, usually when they are not being very conservative. But stories like this one remind me why I like this government.
