I enjoyed some of the federal Tories' apologists yesterday.
The economy is circling the toilet and it appears that the majority of us want our troops out of Afghanistan.
So what does the government and its fans do?Create a crisis on the vote over the Gun Registry.
Tried and true PC tactic. Remember Harris/Snoblen creating a crisis in education? Same philosophy, different stage.
In the meantime I'm beginning to think that Tony Martin could find a cure for H1N1 and a route to end poverty and he'd still be skewered by the right.
Of course he personally responded to those who disagreed because he voted on his conscience.Apparently that doesn't matter to some.
How that could be spun off into he is a puppet for Jack Layton is a stretch.One can only guess that the Tories can't comprehend the concept of conscience.
Somehow they seem to think that the political arena has its own set of mores.
Unfortunate.
But understandable.

Remember to vote at the Aviva Community Fund for the Soo Youth Centre at the Y.
It costs you nothing and would be a very helpful gift.

That doesn’t fly…
"It appears the majority"of us are no longer happy with Tony Martin, yet he keeps getting into office. If conscience had anything to do with his voting, why is he in the NDP? Part of the NDP mandate is to legalize and tax prostitution. Why be a politician in the first place????
I mean really, you are going after the Tories for trying to create a crisis? Smoke and mirrors in politics???? NOOOOOOOO!!!!
Ignatieff has been trying to stir a crisis in his favor since he was placed (not voted) into the Liberal Leadership chair. He’s even called on Dion to see if he could make any of his ideas work with a new face. The problem is the new face doesn’t look like Barack Obama and the new face can’t find a “feel good” issue for Canadians. If he could, there would already be an election called.
The left is busy with 2 little problems of their own....One is called Jack and the other Mike. If they could just figure out how to spin that in their favor they would be laughing.

rw,
As promised I watched the link to youtube you provided yesterday.
I honestly do not know what to say. Well, I do but we've been getting along lately so I won't.
But I do know that whenever I see science intermingling with religion it degenerates into alchemy.There is a polluting substance in religion and it carries an offensive odour.
Nice video though, but a tad hokey for my taste. Maybe it would have helped if I'd hang some crystalls and burned some incense sticks, but I don't keep these items handy in my pantry.
Any time someone presents Jesus's turning water into wine as fact, I am outta there.
I'd rather discuss the link between the H1N1 vaccine and Donald Rumsfeld's stock options in the company.
Any takers?

The issue isn't that the NDP wants to pass this mandate. The issue is that Tony Martin is announcing that he is voting his conscience on the long gun registry,yet there is no conscience involved in running for a party that has such a mandate.

A youth center had operated in this city before and failed to sustain itself so what would make this proposal from the YMCA any different. I would not support this proposal without looking at the long term plan set out by the YMCA.

YOUTH CENTER - Ain't going to work! Great idea but sadly she won't fly.
Drive by our playgrounds! There empty. Children are hustled into the car and off to piano, hockey, soccer or sit in front of the TV playing virtual games on the keyboard while their parents numb out watching reality shows! We don't trust the world outside our doors to not molest, kidnap, bully or visit some serious mayhem or injury (falling off Thomas the train) on our offspring. They consequently will not learn to play together, to interact as humans. We have stolen that from them all in the name of fear. Any bets you build it (teen center) and no-one comes! Unless of course if you feed them the same crap we feed them now. Provide computers so they can isolate in their own fantasy world. Parents, how many of us remember being thrown out of the house after breakfast and being told not to come home till supper or a dire emergency such as a sucking chest wound that may have to be attended to. There was a reason, there were lessons to be learned! Drive by the playgrounds and ask yourself where are the kids?

If "Tony Martin could find.....a route to end poverty... he'd still be skewered by the right.”
The Communist/Socialist answer to poverty is not to end it but to bleed all those who are financially successful - no matter how honestly or otherwise they got there - until everyone is equally down and out. Meanwhile, the Party bosses and their obsequious stooges will of course have their official limousines and all the other perks.
Or, as Sir Winston Churchill so aptly put it:
“The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries.”

unforntunatly that was never the desired result or the intial intent of Communism/Socialism, however it was always the intent of capitalism to make money and create power off the backs of those who had not the means to rise above oppression and in effect became slaves to the capitalist money mongers. As they convienced the masses that capitalism is good....everything else is bad (kind of like the role of the pope)

statusquo,
Good for you for watching.
As somebody that works in the field of water chemistry I can assure you that the bulk of that video series is pure science.
Did you happen to notice that the researchers are experts in their fields with PHD's, not just some back yard "mechanics"?
Interesting how the only thing you commented on was the relatively small amount of "religious" angles.
I suppose you are going to tell me that you were not surprised by the scientific research that proves that water is much more than what it seems to the average person.
My point in having you watch this is exactly that fact.
Things are much more then they seem, until we look closer, remove the blinders and open our eyes and minds.
You attest to believe that you know without a doubt..are absolutely convinced that there is no higher power than us...yet when you drink something seemingly as simple as a glass of water, it gives you life and is so much more than it appears.
You are an intelligent person, of that I have no doubt. I can make that assumption just based on your level of humor.
Yet when it comes to the possibility that there may be an "artist" behind the creation of your individual "canvas" you close your mind, completely, refusing to recognize that there just might be a "painter".
You are convinced!
After all you're really "just" a large glass of water, right!

They are always amazed at how something that we really take for granted is so much more than it appears.
Is that not the case each time we unlock another mystery of human life and the life of our planet.

Kids today just have no concept of how to do things on there own and it is scary to think of them running the parade in a few years.They need to get started using the facilities that already exist( like the mind) instead of having more crap built and handed to them...

Not to blow too much wind up your kilt, but your daughter will appreciate you more as she matures, cause she probably doesn't see you as the traditional 'Dad'...and that is a good thing...
Personally, I catch myself belly laughing at your wit, such as ...'that piece of crap was leaking oil on the showroom floor'...
I had a 92 Ford Explorer with the 5.4 liter engine, but I never went through the plug change thing in the 9 years I drove it. Now, the alternator was on a 2 year schedule, though. It also burned oil, but that could be expected with 280,000 kliks...

I for one agree Something is being done.
But with taxpayer money! It's the process that concerns me more.
By the way...wheres the other 20+ businesses? I see no mention of them in the Star. Why do you suppose that is?

Mission...good point.
My sense is that we probably don't know the process - not because of some sneaky intent - but probably for the same reason we did not know about a lot of other things.
Until the press asked the right questions.
All of the clarity is a good thing.After all it is our money.
Goodness knows we have our money spent on a wack of stuff without any clarity at all levels of government.
It seems to me that a free press -in all of its forms- is inherent to making a democracy work.
A case in point.
The tree removal on Queen Street. It was parsed and diced by many of us.As it turned out from my perspective it all made sense and it became a non issue.
I quite like the idea that someone in the media is watching what might impact on us. In this case it was a trivial point, but I like the fact that we are given the information and then get an answer from the parties involved.
The Bad Guys don't want the rest of us to know what is being done.
The Good Guys explain what is happening and off we go.
Pretty nice microcosmic example of freedom.
And democracy.

Mission... I don't understand what you are saying? What "other 20+ businesses" are you talking about?
And what's wrong with "taxpayer money?" Plenty of successful businesses avail themselves of government subsidies, grants, loans, and tax incentives. I just don't see the big deal?
Why is it that, for some people, the government "needs to do something," while for others when the government DOES do something, it's wrong?

"My sense is that we probably don't know the process - not because of some sneaky intent - but probably for the same reason we did not know about a lot of other things." And yet, when Orazietti tells how provincial dollars are being spent in the north he's known as "photo-op" Dave. We say we want to know how our money's being spent, but when we're told, we accuse the teller of grandstanding. In today's society it's more and more apparent that you just can't win.
