Canadian Forces Appreciation Weekend

Posted by Joanne on 2 February 2008, 8:16 pm

I’m not a sports fan in the slightest, but my husband just asked me to watch the opening ceremony for the Leafs-Sens game tonight. I was blown away by the soldier who sang “Oh Canada”, and by the appearance of so many of our fine men and women in uniform.

This is a wonderful way to support and salute our troops. It makes me feel so proud to be a Canadian.

Keith Martin stands up to the school-yard bully

Posted by Joanne on 2 February 2008, 11:25 am

Despite desperate intimidation tactics employed by the Prince of Darkness, Liberal MP Keith Martin withstands the onslaught. This is one gutsy politician.

All we have to do is coax him to move to Ontario, join the Progressive Conservative Party, and presto! – We have our replacement for John Tory!!!

SDA – “There is no right not to be offended”.

This is priceless! From the Globe’s Blogolitics – Quotes of the Week:

• Liberal spokeswoman Leslie Swartman on a Liberal MPs private member’s motion: “This is not the position of the Liberal Party of Canada or the Liberal caucus or Mr. Dion,” said Swartman. “We support the Canadian Human Rights Act and will not entertain changes to it such as this.”

Only in Canada.

Warrenkinsella.com (I’m not linking to it) on Keith Martin (Feb. 1):

…although some of his constituents might also say they voted for a party’s candidate, and not simply a solipsistic oddball who adheres to his party’s platform only when it suits him. Then again, Keith Martin has been a Reformer, a Canadian Alliance candidate, an independent, and now he’s allegedly a Liberal. If he decides to run under yet another party’s banner in the next election, good luck to him. He’ll need it.

Nice.

Having no frontal lobe, I had to google solipsistic – The jokes write themselves.

Martin Rayner a.k.a. Red Tory is guest blogging at Scott’s – Ending “Hate Speech”. Not a bad post until you get near the end.

Dr. Roy links to a Gazette article that shows that MSM is finally starting to wake up.

What the Ezra Levant and Mark Steyn coverage reveals – Deborah Gyapong.

Free Speech – where’s the MSM? – Just Right.
