For a Thursday

As it often happens...

Justin Trudeau is an idiot:

Liberal leadership candidate Justin Trudeau is having to explain comments he made about Albertans in 2010, one day after fellow Liberal MP David McGuinty resigned his critic role over pointed comments about Alberta Conservative MPs.

Sun Media published comments on Thursday that Trudeau made in a November 2010 interview in French on the Télé-Québec program Les Francs-tireurs (The Straight Shooters). In the interview, Trudeau seemed to take aim at Alberta politicians, and argued Canada was better off in the hands of leaders from Quebec.

"Canada isn't doing well right now because it's Albertans who control our community and socio-democratic agenda. It doesn't work," Trudeau told interviewer Patrick Lagacé.

When asked whether he thought Canada was "better served when there are more Quebecers in charge than Albertans," Trudeau replied, "I'm a Liberal, so of course I think so, yes. Certainly when we look at the great prime ministers of the 20th century, those that really stood the test of time, they were MPs from Quebec.... This country, Canada, it belongs to us."

Quebeckers ran Canada better than any Albertan (or Stephen Harper) could? Hhmmm....?

When Daddy Dearest was running Canada into the ground, it had an economy that only Uncle Fidel could envy.

Does anyone remember Ad-Scam or the Shawinigan Handshake?

Liberals. Can't live with them.....


Moving on....


The ever-classless Obama has six kinds of pie for Thanksgiving dessert while 42.2 million Americans are on food stamps.

He also watched four men die in Benghazi.

Also:

It does not surprise us that U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice either willfully or blindly parroted altered Benghazi talking points, going on five Sunday news shows on Sept. 16 to push the false narrative that the attack on our consulate in Benghazi was not a terrorist attack but a flash mob inflamed by a months-old Internet trailer insulting to Islam. This isn't the first time she has been clueless about and blind to the reality of terror.
As we mentioned in an earlier editorial about her possible appointment as secretary of state, "In 1996, while serving as assistant secretary of state for African affairs under former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, Rice helped persuade President Clinton to rebuff Sudan's offer to turn Osama bin Laden, who was then living there, over to U.S. authorities."

Well, that is troublesome.


Related: thank you:

In an email to supporters of his grassroots group "Patriot Voices" Tuesday, the former Pennsylvania senator and Republican presidential candidate unveiled a "Made in the USA Christmas Challenge."

"We want you to ... buy as many Christmas and holiday presents as you can that are made right here in the U.S.," reads the email from Santorum and his wife, Karen. "As you hit the stores on Black Friday, be mindful of who's made what you're buying."

On the Patriot Voices website, supporters are urged to turn Black Friday into "Red White and Blue Friday."

Brilliant.

How many Americans are out-of-work? How many products are made in Asian sweatshops? How would it hurt to be conscientious?


The UN ignored Israel's pleas TWENTY times:

On at least 20 separate occasions this year, the Israeli government appealed to the UN to take action against Palestinian rocket attacks on Israeli civilians, in letters sent to Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and the President of the Security Council.

In these letters, Israel urged the United Nations to act against repeated rockets attacks from Gaza against Israeli civilians, and,  at a minimum, to speak out and condemn the  attacks.

Saudi Arabia tracks its women electronically:

Denied the right to travel without consent from their male guardians and banned from driving, women in Saudi Arabia are now monitored by an electronic system that tracks any cross-border movements.

Since last week, Saudi women’s male guardians began receiving text messages on their phones informing them when women under their custody leave the country, even if they are travelling together.

I'm waiting for the "war on women" and Slut Walk people to get involved. This kind of thing is right up their alley.

(thank you)


More violence in Nigeria:

Another attack on Christians in the predominately Muslim northern part of Nigeria. 18 dead, so far, including three children.

Part of the violence is being blamed on the radical Muslim sect Boko Haram, but it was just ordinary Muslim villagers who attacked their Christian neighbours (30 miles from Kano) in response to a trader who allegedly insulted their Prophet Mohammed. According to the police there were no deaths, although one witness, Sadiq Ahmed, claims there were four dead bodies in front of shops owned by Christians, torched shops and a church.

Officials believe Boko Haram is responsible for three separate attacks that have occurred this week in Maiduguri, northeast Nigeria. There has been no official count, and the 18 dead were reported by witnesses, which means there could be many more. The police might be reluctant to report more deaths in case it prompts retaliatory action by Christians.

And now, be thankful for some weird looking cakes.
