Keith Olbermann of MSNBC thanks Bush in a fitting manner. But why Barack Obama did not do the same in his speech on August 31st? It looks Keith Olbermann understands Bush much better than Obama.

Under Stephen Harper’s regime, car and other vehicles are required to be registered as they should be but guns are something to be admired and need no registry. What does Harper and his minions know that law enforcement officials, RCMP and other police forces around the country, don’t? Law enforcement officials want the gun registry. The gun registry is considered very helpful, according to these law enforcement officials, to control crimes committed using guns. The ignorance of the Harper regime has hit new heights.

In 2003, Mr. King was made aware that Mr. Chapman claimed to have been offended by comments made in discussions between Mr. King and Mr. Chapman. The complaint came as a surprise to Mr. King as Mr. Chapman had never suggested to him that the discussions caused him any discomfort. Mr. Chapman through legal counsel demanded a sum of money to resolve his complaint. Mr. King through his legal counsel apologized to Mr. Chapman for any offence that Mr. King may have caused. A settlement was achieved between Mr. Chapman and Mr. King. As part of that settlement, Mr. Chapman agreed to return all documents sent by Mr....

Ok, this is partisan but not really. I thought it was really silly when Harper shut down parliament two times in order to disrupt the political process and not merely because the legislative mission had been accomplished earlier than expected (political scientists will get what I am saying here). As long as I have taught [...]

Something happens to Mr. Ignatieff each year as summer ends. It is a bravado driven insanity that speaks to the core thinking of the Liberal Party and its misguided sense of entitlement to govern. Go Iggy Go!

Money

Song lyrics by Roger Waters

Performed by "Pink Floyd"
Album: The Dark Side of the Moon (1973)


Money, get away
Get a good job with more pay and you're o.k.
Money it's a gas
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash
New car, caviar, four star daydream
Think I'll buy me a football team

Money get back
I'm all right jack keep your hands off of my stack
Money it's a hit
But don't give me that do goody good bullshit
I'm in the hi-fidelity first class travelling set
And I think I need a Lear jet

Parents of a premature baby boy are told by the doctors that the baby cannot survive. So parents are ready to say goodbye and then the mother’s touch makes the baby to start reviving itself and ultimately survive. It is an amazing story that science cannot fully explain. This is one great example of how deep the mysteries of life are. It is the non-physical side of humans and other living-beings in general which is absolutely astounding.

Tory MP Candice Hoeppner, in response to the report issued by the RCMP today on the long gun registry, said that it showed the long gun registry to be "“wasteful and ineffective.” She further claimed that "[t]he report also clearly shows that claims made by advocates of the unreliable long-gun registry about its so-called value to front-line officers are highly misleading.”

How can she possibly square these allegations with what the report actually says? The report says of the registry that it is a "useful tool," that it ensures "police are better equipped to respond to, for example, a situation of domestic violence, assess potential safety risks and confirm the possible presence of firearms and their legal status.” It also said that there is an "“ongoing need” for the regulation of firearms.

Opponents of the long gun registry can believe what they want, but it would be nice if, in such an important debate, they did not twist the facts so blatantly. I...

My friend Tarek understands only too well what is going on. I wish Canadians, especially in the Muslim community and in government would wake up to the threat. The jihadi apologists are being allowed deep into our government and bureaucracy.





No sooner did news of the Ottawa Terror Plot unfold on national TV, than one could predict the response of Canada's Islamists and their organizations.



Across Canada, apologists of the terror suspects repeated the same mantra. The three men arrested were portrayed as "innocent" and the wider Muslim community was positioned as the real victims of the episode. It was as if the Islamist leadership had dusted off the speaking notes from the days of the Toronto 18 trials when leader after leader stood up to claim the young men arrested were framed, not real terrorists.

Fix the education system or watch the nation being reduced to a third world status, warns the Canadian Council on Learning: Canada could slip into Third World status if its education system is not reformed to produce innovative and creative graduates who can compete globally, say experts responding to the latest report from the Canadian Council on Learning.

"The education system that Canada has is going to lead us to produce more and more people who are chronically unemployable," said futurist Richard Worzel, who studies societal trends and patterns to help clients plan for the future. "What this means for the country is the gradual slip into Third World status."

Canada also ranks low among OECD countries in the number of graduates in science and engineering, who are key drivers of productivity.

Moreover, 42 per cent of Canadian adults have what the council considers "low" levels of literacy, meaning they "perform below the internationally accepted m...

At least for now: After meetings yesteday with our legal counsel, several doctors and a lawyer from the Christian Legal Fellowship, a major breakthrough happened today. The court appointed Substitute Decision Maker (SDM) has given permission for a nurse, who is a member of the Church, to feed Joshua orally.

Today Joshua was fed orally and I was told it went very well.

We thank the SDM for this wise decision but we remain cautious. This is incredible news but we recognize that an opposite decision may be made at any time.(Euthanasia Prevention Coalition e-mail release) Pastor Joshua's case was also noticed by the media. Check out this Brampton Guardian article: “Other than the fact that Joshua is cognitively disabled, he is otherwise healthy and could possibly live many years in this condition,” states Alex Schadenberg, executive director of...

A revolution and war is coming in the Catholic Church. 


Or we don’t really believe what we profess. 


In China, the faithful smell out a phony, get up, and walk when he shows up. 


…It is true that the government gave the go ahead for these ordinations after a period of closure and it is true that Beijing is well aware and agree that these ordinations have the approval of the Holy See. The point is that now Beijing can not do otherwise, without the approval of the Holy See, a Chinese bishop can not celebrate, he is no longer respected by the faithful, if he presents himself in a church, the faithful leave.  Ma Yinglin is the very proof of this.  In his own diocese of Kunming, he has only a few dozen who follow him, most of whom are paid with money or favours to attend ceremonies….

Even if this research about the role of the government schools in destroying Christianity sounds to you like some crazy conspiracy theory - there's no doubt about the tendency of public schools to encourage mediocrity, quashing individuality and success. Tim Bloedow weighs in on public schools, giving some examples of their approach to students that do better than others and - giving a brief overview of the typical outcome of such "education", including the growing number of young adults who don't really act as ones. (As someone who deals closely with my workplace's attendance records, who's witnessed some co-workers not only skipping work without prior notice, but asking their parents to talk to a supervisor on their behalf, I can confirm that the phenomenon is widespread.)

A few days ago, John posted a story about St. Joseph’s Young Adult Faith Community seeking to recruit participants for the annual Pride parade in Ottawa on August 29th.  An anonymous person from St. Joe’s parish actually posted a comment on that post claiming that homosexuality is not a sin.  This may be true for homosexual attraction, if the individual does not follow up with homosexual behaviour or lust.  But homosexual behaviour itself is a no brainer.  Feel free to join the discussion in the comments section of that post. Please be respectful.



Moreover, on the blog of St. Joseph’s Young Adult Faith Community, I’ve been trying to explain to people that Catholicism cannot endorse homosexual behaviour.  The message doesn’t seem to be getting through.   Feel free to join that discussion in the comments section ...

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25 /Christian Newswire/ -- "This fall, an unprecedented number of people of faith will be turning to a higher power to bring an end to the tragedy of abortion through a 40-day program of prayer and fasting, peaceful vigil and community outreach," said Shawn Carney, campaign director of 40 Days for Life.
