Dear, funny Dalton.

He wants the federal government to lower interest rates. (Can the federal government do that anyway?)

Dalton, please read National Newswatch. The article just below yours is the one to pay attention to - Central Bank won’t clip dollar’s wings - Quote by Bank of Canada senior deputy governor Paul Jenkins:

“We judge that the risks to the bank’s inflation projection are roughly balanced, with perhaps a slight tilt to the downside,” he said. “And we also said that we judge, at this time, that the current level of the target for the overnight rate is consistent with achieving the inflation target over the medium term.”

Several economists and currency traders said Tuesday that the central bank is in a difficult position, and that even if it were to cut interest rates by a quarter percentage point, the effect on the Canadian dollar would likely be minimal. One of the chief difficulties is trying to determine how much of its appreciation is due to strong demand for domestic products, and how much can be laid at the feet of the enfeebled U.S. dollar.

But hey. Blaming the feds is Dalton’s preferred modus operandi.

As everyone knows, the real culprit is global warming.

In keeping with my “If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em” theme, I am very pleased to see how difficult it is to actually prosecute polygamy in Canada. In fact, the law is virtually unenforceable.

The Nation has no business in anyone’s bedroom, right?

Why not concentrate on something more important, like banning handguns again or something? Let people live their lives in peace. If young teenage girls want to have sex with older men, whose business is it anyway?

“There’s no evidence of exploitation,” Oppal said. “In fact, it was surprising to me the number of young women who told police that they were the aggressors, that they wanted to have sex with the older men.”

Yes, and just remember - Religious freedom trumps everything - unless some bigger special interest group complains.

Oh, man. This is so much fun! I love being a leftie.
