Halloween Week: The Day of the Candy-Eating

Not if you go to McKay Public School

I'm so glad that someone decided to ride against the folly of "Spirit Day". It's not just a matter of not getting candy or parents not getting happy snaps of their kids; it's the larger issue of stamping out culture incrementally. See what happens at Christmas.


Here we go again:

Toronto Mayor Rob Ford says he has "no reason to resign" after Police Chief Bill Blair confirmed investigators have recovered a video of the mayor that has been widely reported in the press and charged Ford’s personal friend Alexander Lisi with extortion. 

Except the middle-class in Canada is better off than in the US, moron:

Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau is taking to the small screen to swipe back at Tory attacks on his pot policy -- and take a swipe of his own at his rivals.

An ad released Thursday, on the eve of the Conservative Party convention in Calgary, is aimed at bolstering Trudeau's reputation as the only political leader fighting for Canada's much politically courted middle class.

Trudeau: Canada's Obama. How sad.


Over at the Fur: but that's what the sweater looks like!; spooky places around the world, how the religion of peace has remained medieval, Quebec's efforts to secularise ALL aspects of Quebecois society will just stamp out its culture altogether, Edmonton Transit bans anti-honour killing ads, the NSA infiltrates even Yahoo links and much, much more.


A mass grave of Christians is discovered in Syria.


But... but ... they said people could keep their plans:

Bombshell: Obama officials said more than half of employer-sponsored health plans will be canceled

And now for the fun stuff:


Halloween Trek: "Catspaw" was a holiday specific episode of the original series and the scariest thing about "Wolf in the Fold" is that Hengist is the same voice as Piglet from "Winnie the Pooh".

Let the kids eat candy:

This idea isn’t just based on speculation. In a 1999 study, Penn State researchers identified three types of snacks—wheat crackers, cheese fish-shaped crackers, and pretzel fish-shaped crackers—that a group of 4- to 6-year-olds found equally tasty. Then they split the kids into groups and seated them around tables. They allowed all of the kids as many wheat crackers as they wanted but put either the cheese fish-shaped crackers or pretzel fish-shaped crackers in a clear container in the middle of the table and told the kids they couldn’t have them. After several minutes, a bell rang and the groups were each allowed to eat as many of the formerly banned crackers as they wanted in addition to the wheat crackers. The researchers found that the kids talked positively about, asked for, and ate whichever type of cracker they had been denied—far more than the always available wheat crackers. Interestingly, the kids who became most preoccupied with the forbidden crackers were those who had parents who restricted certain foods at home.

Poe's "The Raven" just because.


Happy Halloween.

Halloween Week: The Mid-Weekening

You know his name.

One day until Halloween...


Why all the brouhaha? Everything is as it was- corrupt:

The Conservative majority in the Senate voted down Liberal motions Wednesday that would have sent the matter of the proposed suspensions of three senators to a committee. 

A committee hearing would have saved senators Mike Duffy, Pamela Wallin and Patrick Brazeau from being suspended without pay in the immediate future.

The three senators are in hot water because of inappropriately claimed expenses. All have repaid thousands of dollars for disallowed housing and travel claims. Brazeau's wages are being garnisheed and he hasn't yet completed his repayment.

The votes on Wednesday evening mean the three won't be able to argue their cases, with their lawyers present,  before a Senate committee of their peers that would have eventually made recommendations about whether they deserve to be suspended.

Their fate remains in the hands of the entire Senate, which has been debating their proposed suspensions for over a week, often late into the night.

Duffy,  Wallin and Brazeau are still facing motions that would strip them of their salaries as well as the use of their offices and cellphones, and any travel. Those final motions may not be voted on until Friday, or even early next week.

Earlier in the day, the government leadership in the Senate introduced proposals that would allow the three senators to keep their health benefits and life insurance if they are suspended from the Senate without pay.

Before we lose sight of the bigger picture, here it is right now:

 

 

$90, 000 seems like chump change in comparison.


Related: I thought he loved the pipeline:

Trudeau argued Keystone XL would already have U.S. approval if Canada had a "price on carbon pollution," though he stopped short of previous Liberal leader Stephane Dion's call for a full-on carbon tax.

Trudeau spoke in favour of Keystone XL before a left-leaning crowd in Washington last week, leaving his criticism of Harper for a Calgary audience just days before the Conservative Party's national convention in the city.

That idiot is aware that carbon is not a pollutant and that Obama, another non-science doofus, would gladly charge Americans a mint for it, right?



Speaking of doofuses, the Teflon Don-in-Chief never has a shortage of people to fall on their swords for him or attempts to cover up his malice and/or idiocy. So none may forget, here is a list of his lies:


"If you like your plan, you can keep it."

**

Six months into his presidency, Barack Obama promised that his proposed health reforms wouldn’t force people who were happy with their insurance to change. “If you like your health-care plan, you’ll be able to keep your health-care plan, period,” he said. But hundreds of thousands of people are finding out that’s not the case. Insurance companies are terminating policies for many people whose insurance doesn’t meet the standards of the new health law.

**

Buried in Obamacare regulations from July 2010 is an estimate that because of normal turnover in the individual insurance market, “40 to 67 percent” of customers will not be able to keep their policy. And because many policies will have been changed since the key date, “the percentage of individual market policies losing grandfather status in a given year exceeds the 40 to 67 percent range.”  

That means the administration knew that more than 40 to 67 percent of those in the individual market would not be able to keep their plans, even if they liked them.

Yet President Obama, who had promised in 2009, “if you like your health plan, you will be able to keep your health plan,” was still saying in 2012, “If [you] already have health insurance, you will keep your health insurance.”

What? Too soon?

A pair of Florida men and their female friend are experiencing a backlash over their controversial Halloween costumes after a picture of them went viral online over the weekend. ...

The photo, posted by the woman standing between them, was shared on Facebook and Instagram on Saturday with the caption, "Happy Halloween from Zimmerman and trayvon :)"

There's nothing like a manufactured crisis by a manufactured victim group to make me spend money on a movie ticket:

Hood stressed that the original novel and his “Ender’s Game” movie stand very much apart from Card’s views.

“There are plenty of examples in art where works of art are greater than their creators or where creators of art are flawed,” he said. “We’ve seen it with the music of Richard Wagner. We’ve seen it with the controversy with Elia Kazan and the way he cooperated with the House Un-American Activities Committee, and yet no one can deny that ‘On the Waterfront’ or ‘A Streetcar Named Desire’ are great films.”

And now, eat your bananas, warm up with a bowl of chili and Halloween donuts courtesy of the Japanese. Enjoy.

Halloween Week: Political Cannibals

The bird in this picture is much like the average voter- so unaware of how screwed it is.

However disgraceful the Senate scandal (as hyped as it may be and without much-needed reform) is, it is not without precedent. Who held up a senator with Alzheimer's Disease? Who stuck the province of Ontario with billions of dollars in debt? Who took money from schools and charities and called it "speaking fees"? Who went to the US only to disparage Canada's oil sands?

And who never made any of them accountable (see above picture)?


Americans are shocked - SHOCKED!- that Obama lied to them:

So how large a group of people will be facing Obamacare sticker shock? 

Well, according to health care analyst Bob Laszewski, about 19 million people are currently in the individual health insurance market and 16 million of them are going to lose their current plan thanks to Obamacare.

You were told, idiots. You have the government and the poverty you voted for.

Happy Halloween.


Moving on...


I hope this pans out:

The company trying to explore for shale gas near Rexton, N.B., is suing Native anti-fracking protesters because it alleges they held its security workers captive, threatened them and destroyed an expensive piece of drilling equipment.

In its statement of claim dated Oct. 3, SWN Resources Canada Inc. names 12 defendants, including protesters Willi Nolan and Ann Pohl and self-described Mi'kmaq warriors Susan Patles and Jim Pictou.

The Texas-based company alleges people identifying themselves as "warriors" held its security workers captive prior to Oct. 17, when the RCMP enforced a court injunction against the Native blockade near the site where the company is trying to find shale gas.

The statement of claim alleges the workers were trapped near their seismic equipment in the woods near Rexton and claims they were threatened by people yelling over a megaphone: "This is the last face you will see" and "Your family will hate you because you won't come home."

SWN Resources says an expensive piece of drilling equipment was also "burned to the ground" and is seeking damages including lost profits, interest and the company's legal costs.

It's one thing to sue thugs who smash and burn but no one does that for free. Follow the money and take that, too.


Remember- this is the religion of peace:

Two puppies from Egypt were rescued just moments before they were to be used by the Muslim Brotherhood in their protests as "puppy bombs" dipped in gasoline and set on fire.

Halloween Week: The Beginning

None of this looks good:

Last week, Senator Mike Duffy took the Senate floor to defend himself against a motion to suspend him, without pay — along with Senators Patrick Brazeau and Pamela Wallin.

He said that Senate leadership told him it was okay to claim a Senate living allowance. He also alleged that the PMO concocted the plan to have Nigel Wright — the prime minister's former chief of staff — give him money to repay expense claims and forced him to cooperate under threat of expulsion.

 

Fredericton police order Sun News not to film an anti-fracking protest:

Fredericton Police ordered a Sun News Network reporter to move his camera after his attempt to videotape a Native protest was blocked.

Crowds gathered in a Fredericton park Saturday to erect the traditional Native longhouse to protest exploratory shale fracking in Rexton, N.B.

Sgt. Mike Hudson told Sun News reporter Josh Skurnik to move after the protesters blocked his camera, despite Skurnik being on public property and behaving professionally.

A stellar job of showing Canadians how useless cops are. Bravo, cops.

How is a longhouse exclusive to the Mic-Mac?

How popular can a TV personality who gets owned by Australians be?

Why join an empire in decline?

Rather than continuing on this road to mutual decline, the United States and Canada should chart a new course — by joining forces.

The United States and Canada could merge into one country, or follow a European Union model that eliminates the border without merging the two governments.

(Sidebar: the EU is a joke, by the way.)

But I thought after the Benghazi catastrophe- clearly a planned attack wilfully downplayed by the White House- diplomatic relations with Libya would be iffy:

Department of Homeland Security internal documents obtained by House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) and Congressman Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) draft final regulation arranged by the Obama Administration that would lift the established ban on Libyans coming to the U.S. to work in aviation maintenance, flight operations, or to receive training and education in nuclear science. According to a House Judiciary Committee press release, "this draft final regulation could go into place without prior notice and comment." 

The original prohibition was put in place by the Reagan administration following a slew of terrorist attacks involving Libyans. Despite the attacks on the U.S. consulate and CIA annex in Benghazi, Libya, the Obama administration defends lifting the ban by claiming the United States’ relationship with Libya has been “normalized.” 

I guess not.

Sad news: both Marcia Wallace, the voice of Edna Krabappel, and Lou Reed have passed away.

Eight days until Halloween...


Senator Pamela Wallin claims she is the victim of a witch hunt:

Embattled Sen. Pamela Wallin claims she's the victim of a witch hunt based on "personal vendettas" by Senate colleagues.

Wallin singled out Tory senators Marjory LeBreton and Carolyn Stewart Olsen on Wednesday as her main tormentors in what she described as an ongoing "show trial" and "charade" and demanded due process.

"You all now know I was subjected to a secret investigation, an extended audit process in which details of my life and activities were leaked to the media, my reputation was attacked and I was summarily thrown out of the Conservative party," she told her Senate colleagues.

Wallin is one of a trio of senators fighting allegations they abused red chamber resources and who are appealing to their peers to reject Conservative motions to suspend them without pay and benefits.

I would suggest scapegoat. I am, in no way, excusing her but if you think she is the only politician guilty of fleecing the populace, one ought to pay more attention.


Stupid is as stupid does:

The irony of slamming nepotism while sitting beside Justin Trudeau was apparently lost on star Liberal by-election candidate Chrystia Freeland. Of course, Justin Trudeau's father was the late controversial Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau and Justin Trudeau's qualifications to lead the Liberals have been questioned by members of all parties.

Chrystia Freeland is the Liberal candidate for November's by-election in Toronto-Centre. She was recently appointed by Justin Trudeau as one of his chief economic advisors.

She never got a chance to ask the "non-citizens" where they were getting their anti-fracking money from:




Remember- Canada is only hurting itself by responsibly tapping into its gas and oil reserves:

Smog has choked China's northern city of Harbin, Heilongjiang province, forcing schools and highways to shut and disrupting flights on Monday.

Nothing to see there- because of the choke-inducing smog.


Russian authorities reduce Greenpeace activists' piracy charges to mere hooliganism:

Russia's main investigative agency said Wednesday that it has dropped piracy charges against jailed Greenpeace activists, including two Canadians, and charged them instead with hooliganism.

The green pantywaists were scared enough. Russia isn't some candy-@$$ co-op beet farm where one can openly discuss genderqueer feminist literature in the context of colonial oppression in hetero-normative environments where white male patriarchy has moulded citizens into "useful" beings who have "actual skills" that don't involve shouting "Racist!" at people. If the activists' cell-mates were any indication, the Russian authorities have bigger and more inebriated fish to fry.



I'm sure this has nothing to do with culture or religion even though it has happened SO many times:

A Yemeni father has burned his 15-year-old daughter to death for keeping in touch with her fiance, police said, sparking further outrage in Yemen, where an eight-year girl died from internal bleeding on her wedding night a month ago.

And now, something completely different:





Normally dogs don't like mailmen but that cat seems to love that particular mailman!

But Wait! There's More!

There always is....

So goes Caledonia, so goes Rexton:

The news director for Global News in New Brunswick says a news vehicle and camera were seized by five protesters in Rexton, N.B., Saturday and a reporter threatened.

Jim Haskins said journalist Laura Brown was at the site of an ongoing shale gas protest around noon when the protesters confronted another media outlet and seized a vehicle.

Haskins said Brown got into her vehicle and locked the door, but was threatened by the protesters.

"They knocked on the window and demanded that she get out of the vehicle and leave it," said Haskins. "At first she refused, but the situation she felt was unsafe and unstable so reluctantly she locked the vehicle, left and started walking away.

Brown was safe at an RCMP detachment later Saturday afternoon and was giving a statement to police.

The RCMP could not immediately be reached for comment.

Haskins, who is based in Halifax, said he was getting mixed messages from the scene about whether the vehicle would be returned.

"We're hopeful that we will have our property returned to us promptly, but at this point in time, I can't tell you when or if that's going to happen."

(Sidebar: it probably won't.)


I visited New Brunswick earlier this year. Lovely province. I was surprised to see anti-fracking signs. I imagine some people- mostly the corrupt welfare chiefs and bands- would like to freeze in the dark. Why argue with that?

Also: thugs hate ALL persons of the media:

Sun News Network reporter Kris Sims was shaken up after a confrontation with Native protesters at a shale gas exploration site in New Brunswick Saturday.

Sims says she, Global News reporter Laura Brown and two CTV satellite truck operators were threatened by "warriors" when they arrived at an anti-fracking highway blockade near Rexton where six cruisers were set on fire Thursday.

Sims said they were recording footage of the burned cop cars when protesters in two cars pulled up and told them to leave.

She says someone shouted, "Get the f--- out of here or I'll break your f---ing cameras! All you tell are lies!"

The CTV truck operators scrambled to take down their equipment and the three journalists got into their respective vehicles, she says.

Sims says someone demanded she get out of her car but she refused.

When she was asked who she worked for, Sims rolled down her window and identified herself as a reporter.

Sims says she asked to speak with the person who appeared to be the group leader and begged him to let her leave.

After being let through, she says she picked up the Global and CTV reporters and headed to a nearby RCMP station.

In a tweet sent from the station, Brown said: "Making a statement - to be clear, it was only about 5 people - They should not blanket the rest of those inv(olved). w/shale gas movement."

Some people are quicker to fold than others, right, Laura Brown?

Guess what goes up November 1st?

The governing Liberals’ politically motivated interference in the energy sector is hurting ratepayers who are trying to conserve electricity, Ontario’s opposition parties said Friday.

Electricity rates during off-peak hours are slated to increase more than the peak rates starting Nov. 1, according to the Ontario Energy Board.

The price for off-peak power will rise by 7.5 per cent for a kilowatt hour, while peak hour rates will rise by four per cent, it said.

But off-peak prices will still be lower at 7.2 cents a kilowatt hour, compared to 10.9 cents for mid-peak and 12.9 cents for peak usage.

That will add three per cent — about $4 — to the average monthly household bill, the board said.

Don't forget to thank Liberal voters for letting in McGuinty, Wynne and soon Trudeau and some groupie from the US.


Truer justice would be that he and his family were stripped naked and sent by raft to whatever Islamic craphole they wanted or at least chained to a rock in Baffin Island during winter but one can take this as a win:

Omar Khadr is staying put in the Edmonton Max.

Court of Queen's Bench Associate Chief Justice John Rooke on Friday denied the former Guantanamo Bay detainee's application to be transferred to a provincial medium-security jail.

"This is the result that would follow, not only for any Canadian who offends outside Canada and is transferred to Canada, but also to those who are similarly sentenced within Canada," Rooke said in his 14-page decision.

The judge stressed his ruling had nothing to do with Khadr's background, other than the fact he is a Canadian, nor his age, the circumstances of his pre-transfer detention or which facility would be better or worse for him.

And now, do you know your Chekovs?

Fourteen days until Halloween...

I'll believe it when I see it and shut up, Justin:

The federal government is vowing to introduce new legislation that would mandate a return to balanced budgets in times of economic crisis.

The measure was introduced in the Speech from the Throne, which Gov.-Gen. David Johnston read to a packed Senate chamber that included Members of Parliament, senators, lawmakers and other dignitaries.

As expected, the government’s agenda for the next Parliamentary session included promises to help Canadian consumers with their bills, as well as law-and-order measures such as a crack-down on repeat offenders. ...

Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau said Canadians want help with their debts, employment and paying for their children’s education and “this government simply hasn’t addressed any of those.”

Stand With Ezra

I remember Mark Steyn debating Khurrum Awan. Mark Steyn handed him his butt, perhaps silently reminding the man that he ought to hang onto it.

Khurrum Awan is now facing off with Ezra Levant in court, suing the latter for statements that were allegedly insulting and defamatory. Having unsuccessfully led previous lawsuits for things that he claimed were "hate speech", Mr. Awan is looking for another bite of the apple in what amounts to not only squashing of honest political opinion but to the permission of legal vendettas against anyone whom the Crown or special-interest groups believe to be a nuisance.

Show trials were/are the stock of communist states. That they are permitted here is nothing short of appalling.

Time to pay it forward for everyone (if you can).

Thanksgiving

Lord Christ, we pray they mercy on our table spread, 
And what they gentle hands have given thy men
Let it by thee be blessed: whate'er we have
Came from thy lavish heart and gentle hand,
And all that's good is thine, for thou art good.
And ye that eat, give thanks for it to Christ,
Let the words ye utter be only in peace, 
 For Christ loved peace: it was himself that said,
Peace I give unto you, my peace I leave with you.
Grant that our own may be a generous hand
Breaking the bread for all poor men, sharing the food.
Christ shall receive the bread thou gavest his poor, 
And shall not tarry to give thee reward.

("Grace", Alcuin of York)

Quickly Now...

The story so far...


Taking their cues from the honey bison, veterans chuck barricades aside and police treat this as an armed uprising from elderly men:

Police moved the protesters back to set up barricades between the crowd and the White House gate. Some protesters chanted "shame on you" at the officers. 

A protest by truckers converged with a rally by a group called the Million Vet March at the memorial. Participants cut the plastic links between metal barriers at the National Park Service site and pushed them aside. 

Later, some protesters carried metal barricades that look like bicycle racks from the memorial to the White House and stacked them up outside the gates, confronting police in riot gear. Some protesters carried signs reading "Impeach Obama."



An armored police vehicle also was sent to the World War II Memorial as people lingered there.

Gee, how did that tunnel get there?

The Israeli military has discovered an underground tunnel dug out from the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip into Israel.

Oh, really?

The picture for Canada is less worrisome. But in important ways, it’s not much to write home about. Canada ranked at the OECD average in literacy and comfortably ahead in computer skills, but it ranked below the average in math. And Canadian women consistently scored lower than Canadian men on math.

In short order: start learning at home, abolish teachers' unions, reward good teachers, have stricter criteria for school board trustees, emphasise STEM studies and push out all the unimportant crap people with an agenda demand to have in schools.


A la carte cable choices?

The federal government will unveil plans this week to force cable and satellite TV providers to offer consumers so-called pick-and-pay services, says a prominent cabinet minister.

Russian police rounded up more than 1,600 migrants on Monday in Moscow after rioting swept through a southern neighborhood over a fatal stabbing of a Russian that many residents blame on a man from the Caucasus region. ...

The rioting came before Eid al-Adha, an Islamic holiday that most Russian Muslims begin celebrating on Tuesday. In Moscow, ethnic tension is often higher during such holidays because large numbers of Muslims gather at the city's few mosques.

However, like all non-violent philosophies, it presumes an equally civilized and sophisticated opponent, and the Taliban are neither.
They are not Christian (or even Roman soldiers in 30 AD.)
They are not the even post-war Japanese or Germans.
The Taliban are illiterate, primitive, low IQ Muslim pedophiles.
They are beyond the reach of reason or even normal human fellow-feeling.
