Shut Your Pie Hole and Go Home

This is the proof in the pudding regarding our earlier post today referencing a request to respect protesters. My personal favourite is photo number 13, but I don't know what the Chaotic Insurrection Orchestra  has to do with G8 meetings. As for #12, not every protest is a reason to light a joint. I love that I don't even have to make a point.  These people have made it for me and on day one, no less. Thank you, protesters, thank you.

  Obama arrives for G8 I'm somewhat saddened by the fact that Obama's arrival in Toronto made front page news.  What about the other world leaders?  I know what other countries are being represented next week, but I don't know who has arrived.  I personally don't think Obama is that big of a deal. It's not really the article that got me going this morning.  It was the idiotic comment by someone who makes me ashamed to be Canadian.  I'm proud that these meeting are being hosted on Canadian soil, but for once, I wish there could be peace. StanJohnston wrote, " Since when has it become ok for Canada not to respect protesters or the idea that their are many valid opinions? We are becoming more and more like the US every day and it's a terrible thing for Canada to become." Okay to not respect protesters? You have got to be kidding me, right?  Respect protesters ?  The same protesters who created a situation so dangerous a disabled kid could...

G-20 Nations Should Look to Canada for How to Build a Better Economy I can't even begin to describe how proud I am to be Canadian after reading this article.  Not to mention the fact that it was written by Americans. I was pleased to see Stephen Harper shown in a good light.  The gentlemen who wrote the article seem to have more respect for our Prime Minister than many Canadians. Despite the rantings of so many Canadians, it's been proven that Canada is indeed recovering faster than the majority of countries around the world. If you're not proud of that, you can shut your pie hole and go home.

http://www.ctv.ca/CTVNews/Canada/20100622/crime-costs-page-100622/ I don't get it. We have $1.8 billion to spend on prisons, but we're closing schools and decreasing days in the school year due to budget restraints. Isn't this how a vicious circle begins?

--> I think this is is something that needs to be forwarded until every Canadian with a computer receives it. The year is 1907, one hundred and three years ago. -->   Wilfrid Laurier's ideas on Immigrants and being a Canadian in 1907. 'In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes a Canadian and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet a Canadian, and nothing but a Canadian.  T here can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is a Canadian, but something else also, isn't a Canadian at all. We have room for but one flag, the Canadian flag. We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language. And we have room for but one sole loyalty and t...

Fla. Christian School Fires Teacher Over 'Fornication' Claims I graduated from a private Christian school and am forever grateful to my parents for shelling out the atrocious tuition costs for those four years of my life.  While "worldly" things still go on in a Christian school, they are not a blatant as in the public school system and yes, some things have a harsher penalty. Through my years in high school there were suspensions and expulsions.  Every student, upon starting high school, signed a contract saying they would refrain from certain exercises: drugs, drinking alcohol, smoking and fornicating (sex outside of marriage).  It was certainly no surprise that there were many students who chose to break that contract.  It was also no surprise when there were dire consequences for those acts.  Getting caught with drugs or alcohol would result in an immediate suspension.  Getting caught more than once often resulted in expulsion.  A girl getting ...

My Take: Ending 'don't ask, don't tell' would undermine religious liberty   Editor's Note : Tony Perkins is President of the Family Research Council and a Marine veteran. By Tony Perkins , Special to CNN Some people think allowing open homosexuality in the military means nothing more than opening a door that was previously closed. It means much more than that. It would mean simultaneously ushering out the back door anyone who disapproves of homosexual conduct, whether because of legitimate privacy and health concerns or because of moral or religious convictions. This outcome is almost inevitable, because pro-homosexual activists have made it clear that merely lifting the “ban” on openly homosexual military personnel will not satisfy them. The stand-alone bills that have been introduced to overturn the 1993 law, such as S. 3065, call explicitly for: Revision of all equal opportunity and human relations regulations, directives, and instruction...
