For a Monday

Quickly now.


This is troubling:

Rescue workers in the northern Ontario town of Elliot Lake on Monday called off their search for survivors at a two-story shopping mall whose rooftop parking lot partially collapsed two days ago, after authorities deemed the site too dangerous.

One person is confirmed dead and another is believed to have died in the collapse at the Algo Centre Mall, which occurred on Saturday afternoon when the mall is typically crowded. Twenty-two people were injured.
City spokeswoman Kate Matuszewski said the operation was now considered to be a recovery rather than a rescue effort.

When asked if that meant authorities had given up hope of finding anyone alive inside the damaged portion of the mall, she said: "Basically, yes." Matuszewski declined to say why authorities came to that conclusion.

"Due to the building being unsafe, crews were pulled from the building," Matuszewski said in a telephone interview.

Mayor Rick Hamilton, however, later said authorities were still hopeful of resuming the rescue operation, saying he was pushing provincial authorities to get assistance in stabilizing the site. He said he would work with Emergency Measures Ontario to involve the armed forces if necessary.

"We are making every effort to make sure we can expedite this process as quickly as possible," Hamilton told Canadian Broadcasting Corp television.

"It was not an easy decision" for the emergency teams to leave the site, he said. "I spoke with them personally and they were absolutely mortified having to leave that scene."

The collapse sent at least one parked vehicle as well as concrete and metal raining into the mall below, leaving a hole in the roof.

Police said 30 people were unaccounted for, a list that had grown from nine. But there was no way of knowing how many of those were in the mall at the time of collapse, the CBC quoted police as saying.


This won't end well:


Mohamed Mursi, Egypt's first freely elected president whose powers have already been curbed by the army, began work on a coalition on Monday after touring his new palace, once home of Hosni Mubarak who banned his movement for three decades.

Declared winner on Sunday a week after a tumultuous run-off vote that pitted him against a former air force chief, the Islamist faces the challenge of meeting sky-high expectations in a nation tired of turmoil while the economy is on the ropes.



Make joining a union voluntary and demand public financial accounts:


The CAW has chosen a side in the abortion debate.

The union is making it clear, it is pro-choice.

In an open letter to Prime Minister Stephen Harper, national union president Ken Lewenza outlined the union's stance.

Lewenza wrote the letter in response to Conservative MP Stephen Woodworth’s motion to examine whether the Criminal Code definition of "human being" should be expanded to include fetuses.

"Less than a year into a majority government, we see the debate being cracked open by a member of the Conservative caucus," Lewenza wrote. "Nothing has been as offensive as the suggestion that government may infringe on women’s rights over their own bodies and freedom of choice."

Monday, the CAW will hold pro-choice rallies in Windsor and London, Ont. 

CAW local 444 in Windsor will hold its rally at 6:30 p.m. Monday at the intersection of Tecumseh Road East and Turner Road, near the Met Campus of Windsor Regional Hospital parking lot.

The rallies will be staged to counter demonstrations by the anti-abortion group Canadian Centre for Bio-Ethical Reform, which will bring its "new abortion caravan" to London on Monday evening.

The caravans feature graphic photos, poster and large box-body trucks covered in similar photos.

Similar CAW events are planned and have taken place throughout the month of June in cities all across Canada.


Sending jobs to China AND supporting genocide. You guys deserve to be abolished.



Watch the ownage:







When an affluent would-be leftist writer attempts to hand a respected scholar his @$$, there will be comeuppance.


What a stupid girl.



Yes, they ARE grooming children:


 The Guide is entitled Both/and..  This section makes it plain that students are to be encouraged to become cross dressers. As you read the entire document you will realize that this is not a curriculum guide but rather a radical political agenda. My hope is that Lee Hicks is immediately transferred to Valley Park Middle School where he and his GSA can compete for space with the Mosqueteria.

"If we as educators continue to focus children as “girls and boys” ... it doesn’t actually matter how progressive our ideas are... because our practice and the language with which we impart it will remain entrenched in the belief that there are only two genders." (page 18, entitled "early learner - kindergarten program")

From Page 22 of the TDSB's Cross Dressing Guide For Elementary School Students.

4. Once the demonstration self-portrait of myself is done, I ask the class members to all take a minute, close their eyes, and think carefully about the outfit that they either have or wish they had to best describe their true self… We will save the sharing of these ideas for the next day, just before watching the both/and video and commencing the self-portrait creating.
5. Directly after the idea of “what do you most want to draw yourself wearing” has been suggested into the students’ brains, I read them 10 000 Dresses by Marcus Ewert. This book is about a kid named Bailey who happens to be born in a body that people read as “boy”. She dreams of all of the dresses that she would wear if she could make what she saw in her head…. and if her family would realize that actually –she is a girl on the inside.



This can be sorted out if you schedule Islamist Pride events at the same time.



(lots of thanks)



And now,  dachshund puppy vs. crab. Enjoy.
