Sun T.V…..

 

Best Thing Since Sliced Bread.

This past month, Sun Media launched its Cable TV Channel here in Canada – it is described as Fox News North and I can tell you that it is a most welcome development.

Outright Conservative and non-politically correct it is a refreshing change from the lame street media we have been forced to endure for so long – i.e. CBC and CTV.

Sun T.V. prides itself on being right wing focused while the Left Wing Media pretends to be impartial all the while promoting their own left of centre agenda.

Honesty vs. Subterfuge

Take last evening for instance.

I was watching Ezra Levant’s segment which included a couple of most interesting items.

The first was a look at the “non-partisan” poll CBC had placed on its website during the recent election.  CBC promoted the poll as a tool for ordinary Canadians to use in determining which party best suited them.

A large number of Conservatives complained that they had taken the poll with an outcome that they were in fact Liberal.  I believe Ezra indicated that he too was described as such when he first went through the exercise.

So last eve, Ezra went through the Poll twice again.  The first time he answered each and every of the 30 questions with “the no opinion” option.  - The Result was that he was still a Liberal.

The next time he went through the poll he alternated with picking the most extreme answer for each question – first on the left and then on the right.  And guess what?

Liberal again.

So according to the Survey, Liberals have either no opinions whatsoever or they are totally Bi-Polar. 

So much for a balanced Survey and so much for CBC being impartial.

And Guess what else?

The First Official Act of the New Conservative Majority was to approve Funding for the Mother Corp.

It of course should have been to deep six the olde girl.

The Other Story that Ezra dealt with concerned the Provincial PC’s in Ontario.

As we all know, Ezra Levant has been hounded by the Human Rights Commissions the most notable time being when he had the temerity to publish the Mohammad Cartoons.

A year later and a hundred thousand dollars lighter he was successful (?) in his fight against them.

Anyway, until this week he and Tim Hudak were of a like mind in wanting to see Ontario’s Commission disbanded.

Imagine Ezra’s surprise when he read that Hudak was back-tracking on this pledge and was now going to make ‘adjustments’ to Ontario Human Rights Legislation if he successfully wins this October’s Election.

Levant invited Hudak onto his show but Hudak sent Randy Hillier in his stead.  You know Randy – the no nonsense Libertarian who boldly goes where others fear to tread.

Well Ezra’s interview last eve of Randy was something to behold.

Is it true that your boss (Hudak) has back-tracked from his pledge to disband Ontario’s Human Right’s Commission?

Well Yes, but he is going to improve their legislation.

How so?

Well we are going to make it more in keeping with the Rule of Law?

How so?

Well, I just answered that question.

No you didn’t Randy – I respected you as a no nonsense politician but you are now behaving as a nonsensical politician.  So just tell me – how are you going to amend the legislation.

We are going to bring in more Judges to deal with the backlog of cases.

(Yeah so they can render their stupid decisions more quickly)

Anyway the exchange went on and on with Randy Hillier looking ever more foolish.

It ended with Levant giving up and vowing to get Hudak on the program – ‘since he was the one that should really be answering  for his reversal on this important topic’.

My point is – beyond being personally saddened by Hudak’s change of heart - you would never see such an exchange on the Lame Street Media because they are too much in love with the discriminatory Human Rights Commissions.

If you get a chance tune into this new Station – you will not regret doing so.

Is It Just Me …

 

Or are You equally offended by the facts stated in the following two newspaper articles?

Case One:

A child is kidnapped in Quebec and the body found this past September.

Rather than notify the parents – whom the Police knew were totally innocent of any wrong-doing – the Police delayed telling them about their find until just recently.

So the poor parents went over half a year not knowing the whereabouts of their child – and whether or not he was alive or dead.

Can you think of anything more humane?

The Police excused themselves by saying they withheld this information in order not to jeopardize their investigation.

Indeed.

The newspaper article rated a page six and 1 mere  paragraph in length.

Can you believe it?

 

Case Two:

In today’s paper, I found an article about a driver charged with Dangerous Driving – and oh yes – leaving the scene of an accident.

Again, it was down-played appearing in the Ottawa City Section rather than on the Front Page where it belonged.

This Fellow had killed a pedestrian who had the temerity of placing his hand on his sports car while walking past it.

To me, anytime you aim your car at someone and deliberately run them down – causing their death, it has a name – and it is not Dangerous Driving…

It is Murder.

What am I missing in these two cases that causes them to be handled in such a cavalier fashion, by both the Police and the Press?

As I see it..

Osama Bin Laden’s Death …

 

Exposes Western Society’s  declining values.

First, let me assure the reader that I support Bin Laden’s summary execution (although I do not think myself capable of shooting anyone who is unarmed).

Second, his hurried burial at Sea was, I believe, for the best.

Where I diverge from conventional thinking is in regard to the release of photos and to the underlying issue of Torture.

First the Photos.

Two Schools’ of Thought have immerged in regard to the release of photos showing the corpse.

First – revengers who want to display this handiwork for all the world to see and be damned with the consequences.  Let’s call it the Sarah Palin School of Thought.

The Second School of Thought is that held by President Obama who is fearful that the release of such Photos would only encourage retaliation by Radical Muslims against the West.  Let’s call this the Fearful School of Thought.

I subscribe to neither.

Dealing with the Second School first.

We in Western Society have shown enough Fear since 9/11.  My message to extremists is “bring it on” (i.e. in the words of Churchill, as I mentioned in an earlier Blog) – ‘You do Your Worst and We’ll do our Best’.

But that said, I would not release the pix – not out of fear but out of a conviction that it is not the Christian Thing To Do.  You don’t parade bodies around – even if our Enemies consistently doing so.

And of course my belief here applies equally to the Palin School of Revenge.  Western Society in the 21st Century should rise above that.    

Bin Laden’s killing has also caused a revisit to the Issue of State Sanctioned Torture.

Again two sides have immerged in this debate.

Obama has consistently come out against Torture because it is Ineffective.  Let’s call this the Position of the Left.

The Right (e.g Fox News) has pointed out, with some support of its position, that torture has yielded valuable information that has ended up saving society from further hardship.

More specifically in the case of Bin Laden, Fox argues that Water-Boarding resulted in information that eventually led to his death.

I, though, am opposed to any Torture.  Again, just because Evil does it – does not give us the right to do the same.

Sadly, neither the Right nor the Left advances this Basic Christian Tenet.

And in a broader sense, I consistently see the lack of such Values and Convictions in our Modern Societies.

Unless Reversed, we are headed for trouble.

THANKFULLY….

 

I WAS WRONG.

Simply put – it would have been a disaster to have had the NDP and Liberals gang up to form the Government.

My Analysis was based solely on the Polls which up until Election Day showed the Conservatives in Minority Territory.

Something happened during the last 24 hrs and I like to think of it being the Hand of God – moving to protect our beloved Country for the next 4 years.

As I see it…

Today is the Day...

First, my Prediction:

Tories - 135 NDP - 101 Libs - 47 Bloc - 25


Another Prediction:

The Tories will continue to Govern - with the help of the decimated Grits.


A Final Prediction:

Iggy is toast - and so is Duceppe. Harper soon to follow.



Bottom Line:

A Government led by Layton is too scary to contemplate - more on that in a later Blog.


So Today's Election Day and as the olde Pros say - "Vote Early And Vote Often".

EKOS Has Really Shaken…

 

The Pundits Up.

A recap – Ekos came out yesterday with a Poll showing the Tories @ 33.7 % – the NDP @ 28% and Liberals @ 23.7 %.

It would be quite shocking – if only it was Accurate.

Rest easy though since It Is Not.

The Tories have not run a spectacular campaign – but they have held their own and their core following is in tact; that is to say in the very high 30 per centile.

The NDP has caught fire in Quebec – and I have no clue as to why, other than the fact that Quebecers are merely leaving one Socialist Group – ie the Bloc – for another – the NDP.

The Liberals have not run particularly well and Ignatieff continues to be the least popular Leader but although they are in decline they are by no means in collapse.

All this to say – as I have continued to say – the Tories remain in the high 30s and the Layton and Ignatieff are splitting the balance more or less evenly albeit with an edge to the NDP at this point.

The only question remaining for me is whether after May 2nd there will be a Majority Tory Gov’t or a Coalition between the other Two.

That said, I have never seen an Election where the majority of the Pundits are so dumbfounded:  they readily admit that they have no idea what the make-up of the next Parliament will be.

I had promised to publish my prediction on Sunday but given the interest and the conflicting polls will do so over the course of this Saturday.

If the Libs and NDP do in fact form the new Government – especially with Jack Layton as PM – Canada will spiral down as is currently the case with our neighbours to the South.

Pretty Scary Stuff..

I’m A Little Disappointed…

 

Following my Everglades Blog – no one came forward to ask if I had experienced other such Adventures on our recent Florida Holiday.

We did in fact – but given your lack of interest I will not be telling you about them.

In Particular, I will not tell you about my Deep Sea Fishing Outing with Skipper Dan.

I won’t recall how we (me) and a crowd of 2 others -gathered on the Dock – after paying another King’s Ransom for an Outing.

Only to be told by Skipper Dan (we all soon just called him ‘Skipper’) that we were wasting our time since for the past week no one, on his boating outings, had been successful in catching a fish. (at least Billy Bob waited until we were on route before giving us the bad news)

And Skipper Dan did not offer to return our money – even though I did make the request.

A little background here would help.

The Ad for this Deep Sea Adventure stated that the crew – i.e. the Skipper since he was all there was – “would clean any fish we caught” so we could take our harvest home and BBQ it for dinner – with no doubt lots left over for following nights.

Anne and I had been ‘restauranting’ each evening so this night would be different – I would catch our dinner and cook it – the Skipper would do the Cleaning.

That was the Theory of course – as a back-up – just in case.. I told Anne to meet me after our Fishing Excursion outside a nearby Restaurant in the Unlikely Event I came up empty in the Fish Department. 

Okay now let’s not go back to the Dock (remember – I am not telling you this Story for Lack of Interest).

We all (the 3 of us) and the Skipper scrambled on board.  We got the usual pitch where the life jackets etc are and off we went.

Some 45 minutes after departure we dropped anchor.

“How deep do you think it is here”? I ask Skipper.

“Four, maybe Six Feet”.

And you call this Deep Sea Fishing – I thought.

At least I did not need to worry about Life Jackets – I could walk / bob in that depth.

But low and behold we start to catch fish.

The Skipper is ecstatic – his week’s drought has come to an end.

On a sadder note though, he classifies each fish we catch as being “non-edible”.

We must have anchored at a half dozen different spots throughout the day and wouldn’t you know it – every fish we caught, regardless of where, was tainted with the Skipper’s “non-edible” designation.

This included fish such as the succulent Sea Bass that Anne and I had been so enjoying over the course of our stay.

To say that I was suspicious was an under-statement.

Soon our time was up.  With ‘threw back’ the last of our catch and returned to Port.

The Skipper wished us all – you know the three of us – a bon farewell and just before parting provided each of us with a bag containing brochures about the Adventure that he would appreciate us handing out to friends and passers by.

With bag in hand, I made my way to our Restaurant rendez-vous where I found Anne patiently awaiting me.

She smiled at seeing me approach and then frowned when she noticed the bag.

“Oh no” she pronounced.. “you didn’t actually catch fish”.

“Well yes I did – but don’t look so crestfallen – this is only a bag of brochures”.

“Thank God” she exclaimed, as we sauntered into the Bar.

 

So again, I am sorry that I could not relate the above story to you.

Nor will I be telling you about our adventures on the new Harry Potter Ride at Universal Studios.

My not doing so, in that case, has less to do with your lack of interest as it does will the nausea I still feel whenever I think back to that Ride from Hell.

As I see it…
