Cavoukian [Raffi] said he hopes people tune out Cherry’s first-intermission segment during today’s Leafs-Canucks tilt as a statement to try to stop the current rash of concussions and eliminate fighting from the game.
Raffi’s music gives me post-concussion symptoms.
I must confess that my first reaction upon reading your open letter to Minister Toews and myself was one of surprise and joy. For your organization to muster its formidable powers of suasion against the orderly and innoxious proceedings of the Canadian immigration system must mean that the world’s most truculent regimes have discharged their last political prisoners and advocates of democracy are free to march in the streets of Tehran and Pyongyang.
I was warned by various female friends I had to give a full account of the outfit, hair, shoes and clutch bag. They were, then, navy, auburn, peach and beige, respectively.
John Ivison does a fantastic job of bringing sarcasm to the family most deserving of it.
The mayor and police were using tough words last night and this morning, promising to hold the “few” troublemakers and hoodlums responsible for the riots, accountable for their actions.
Talking in my carpool this morning, we could not come up with a form of punishment that would actually do so. I had thought about caning last night. It may work but this morning I thought of this method which may actually provide the public humiliation necessary to prevent things like this from happening in the future.
A week in this contraption BEFORE the jail time. Store & vehicle owners get the first crack at them.
There are some things so far exiled from all the known limits of common sense and rational practice, so inhospitable to logic and fairness, that only -only -governments can be responsible for them.

As we waited for a van to take us to another briefing, a young soldier working on a helicopter looked up and saw us. He stared at Iginla, his eyes wide. Very few people on the base had been told we were coming.
From there we were taken to perhaps the best known part of the base, the ball hockey rink constructed by Canadian soldiers and home to the 14-team Kandahar Hockey League, or the “tougher KHL” as the Canadians like to call it.
One of the best articles you will ever read on TSN.ca (or the rest of BELL media).
One of the left’s distraction techniques when talking about the Conservative policy of stricter sentences is that the USA has run into problems of prison overcrowding and budget issues.
Ignoring the obvious cost savings when you don’t have to arrest the same guy 120 times a year, it seems that there is a bigger prison issue that the State of California deals with. This paragraph by Mark Krikorian in the Corner at the National Review states the real source of that problem.
“The GAO reported in March that in FY 2008, there were 27,000 illegal aliens in the state prison system for whom California was receiving partial (very partial) reimbursement from the feds. (See here, p. 30.) That’s close to the total number our black-robed rulers have ordered released. And that’s not counting the legal immigrants who’ve made themselves deportable by committing crimes.”
The Conservatives also have an immigration plan.
Vowing that “failure is not an option,” incoming Treasury Board President Tony Clement says he is committed to reducing the size of government and says he can’t take public service job cuts off the table.
I’d suggest starting with the C.B.C.
So, lefties. How would you like an elected senate now?
When the right complained about the rubber stamping in the 90s, I only heard crickets from the left.
It is now with great happiness, I congratulate Prime Minister Stephen Harper for his excellent win tonight.
This is the results of the BRINW poll I was running over the last number of months. Conservatives have spoken and have given him the majority he asked for. Now it is time for him to deliver that badly needed reform.
52% – Scrap the CBC
32% – Kill the HRCs
10% – Lower Taxes
The other 6% was for other and most people wrote in “All of the Above.”
Goodbye Iggy. Goodbye Bloc. Layton, you can ask your question first now. Harper actually doesn’t need to answer.*
