Update : On MDL tonight, Pierre Poilievre hinted that the Conservatives would pursue their suit against the LPC regarding the smears in the Cadman affair. Meanwhile, the NDP feels it’s time to move on. However, it seems the Liberals would rather keep flogging this one.

Sunday Update : The Star just wants to keep it going and going…

Sex change operations - funded by the Ontario taxpayer .

Jeff Allen is discussing this now and I hope to pick it up again later. Just want to hear your thoughts. Personally, I think it’s a slap in the face to all those people waiting for cancer and cardiac treatment. I know it’s not a huge part of the health care budget, but I think it send the wrong message - George Smitherman is continuing to pander to his supporters.

Update : We schmucks here in Onterrible seem to be the laughingstock of the country …

Lifesitenews :

…Following his extensive research into the “sex-change” phenomena, McHugh ended “sex-change” operations at John Hopkins and has encouraged other facilities to do the same.

“I concluded that Hopkins was fundamentally cooperating with a mental illness. We psychiatrists, I thought, would do better to concentrate on trying to fix their minds and not their genitalia.”

I’m having some difficulty deciphering Chantal Hébert’s column this morning - Canada’s Natural Opposition Party.

…Part of the reason for this self-defeating state of affairs may be that the Prime Minister and his coterie of advisers hail from the protest side of the conservative movement.

It is the first time in modern Canadian history that the right wing of the Conservative party produced a prime minister. Whatever institutional memory of government the party may have rests with its progressive wing. But while not all so-called Red Tories have opted to stay out of the tent, in Harper’s peculiar world, they are often as suspect as the Liberals.

Is she trying to say that the Conservative party’s fortunes in Government are adversely affected by a stronger ex-Alliance control at the expense of the Red Tories? If so, I can’t agree.

Granted, the former Progressive Conservative caucus members may have more experience in Government, but I don’t agree that they are being shut out of the limelight. Names like Peter MacKay and Jim Prentice come to mind.

And as for the notion that the Tories are spinning their wheels and seem more comfortable in opposition, I offer Sandy’s impressive list of the Harper Government’s accomplishments as evidence to the contrary.

Chantel, I’ll be patiently waiting for a list of accomplishments by the ‘Natural Governing Party’ . Let me get it started for you.

• Same-sex marriage.
• Canadian Charter of Rights and Entitlements .
• Lowering carbon emissions (Didn’t get it done).

Carry on…
