In a previous post on the Warman affair, I took a simplistic, perhaps vindictive, approach to the libel suit that now faces Kate, Kathy and Ezra Levant.

I support free speech. With that speech comes the responsibility not to slander or libel someone unless I can prove the accusation. If that fails then I better be able to back up what I said or wrote with my wallet. That is why this whole episode really makes me yawn. […]

Vow to pollute and spend as much money as possible to teach them poor Gaia loving hippies a lesson they’ll never forget.

While potentially hundreds of thousands (possibly millions) of Canadians will turn off their lights and unnecessary appliances for an hour tonight at 8:00PM a small but dedicated band of fundamentalist Canadian Conservative (and conservative) climate change deniers will be out doing far more than just ignoring a phenomena they do not agree with. This group of committed individuals has dedicated itself to the process of wasting as much gas as they can, creating as much pollution as they can, and running their personal hydro bills up as high as they possibly can, in order to show people how completely unreasonable and deluded those participating in Earth Hour are.

Update: Making Sense With Nicholls: North Korea (again)

Update: Fuschi’s Canadian Forum: Won’t someone think of the things that will not be done!!

Update: The Spirit Of Man: North Korea (again)… but showing original though there is also talk of “Green-voting-tree-hugging-liberals” apparently wanting to live in caves.

Update: Stephen Harper: he was probably working, at his house and the office…. he’s just that busy.

It takes some pretty big stones (and ego) to stand up and say that “they’re wrong, I’m right” without anything to back up the assertion.

The results of the survey, released Tuesday, demonstrate that a significant proportion of American teenagers live in “stunning ignorance” of history and literature, according to the group that commissioned it.

The German arms manufacturer said to have paid Brian Mulroney hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash for international representation insists it has no knowledge of the former prime minister doing any work on its behalf.

Florida Panthers forward Richard Zednik required lifesaving surgery after severing his carotid artery, his agent told The Associated Press on Monday.

A Bremerton, Wash. man has registered his protest of the commercialization of Christmas by crucifying Santa.

“Santa has been perverted from who he started out to be,” said Art Conrad. “Now he’s the person being used by corporations to get us to buy more stuff.”

Time for all of us to brush up on Tai Chi, perhaps?

“Muslim father kills daughter over religion - news at eleven”; “A Hijab inspired killing in your neighbourhood, what you need to know about what your Muslim neighbors are up to - tune in at six for the full story”

No man stands alone.  If only our Prime Minister had listened to the song.

Why then is a taser acceptable? What should the threshold be for use of this device or is there one at all? Should a suspect be armed or is belligerence enough? Should the taser be banned or continued? I would love to hear your thoughts.

“Excited Delirium” killed him?  That’s a new one.  Well, I guess it’s possible but taking two zaps of 50,000 volts in succession might also have something to do with his death.  It’s the same old story though isn’t it?  It’s never the gun that kills someone it’s always the shooter.  I’ve heard that tune before.  […]

The British tradition of Morris Dancing had been performed exclusively by men for several hundred years.
