Iffy's hand on heart truth ?
When Iffy was asked in March 2005 about leaving Harvard ... he told the Toronto Star that he had no intention of changing careers.
“I have the best job in the world, and I can’t see any foreseeable circumstance where I want to change. And that’s the hand-on-heart truth,” - Michael Ignatieff, March 2005

I just wonder if Iggy's leave of absence at Harvard has been extended in anticipation of his return to the USA.

The Rules Of Rural Ontario Are As Follows
1. Pull your droopy pants up. You look like an idiot.
2. Turn your cap straight, your head isn’t crooked.
3. Let’s get this straight; it’s called a ‘dirt road.’ I drive a pickup truck because I want to. No matter how slow you drive, you’re going to get dust on your Lexus. Drive it or get out of the way.
4. They are cattle. They’re live steaks. That’s why they smell funny to you. But they smell like money to us. Get over it. Don’t like it? Hwy 7 & 401 goes east and west, Hwy 15 & 416 goes north and south. Pick one.
5. So you have a $60,000 car. We’re impressed. We have $150,000 combines and hay balers that are driven only 3 weeks a year.
6. So every person in rural Ontario waves. It’s called ‘being friendly. Try to understand the concept.
7. If that cell phone rings while an 8-point buck and 3 does are coming in, we WILL shoot it out of your hand. You better hope you don’t have it up to your ear at the time.
8. Yeah, we eat meat and potatoes. You really want sushi & caviar? It’s available at the corner bait shop.
9. The ‘Opener’ refers to the first day of deer hunting season. It’s a religious holiday held the closest Saturday to the first of November.
10. We open doors for women. That is applied to all women, regardless of age.
11. There’s little for ‘vegetarians’ on the menu. Order steak. Or you can order the Chef’s Salad and pick off the 2 pounds of ham & turkey.
12. When we set a table, there are three main dishes: meats, vegetables and breads. We use three spices: salt, pepper, and ketchup.
13. You bring ‘coke’ into my house, it better be brown, wet and served over ice.
14. You bring ‘Mary Jane’ into my house, she better be cute, know how to shoot, drive a truck, and have long hair.
15. Ontario Hockey League and Minor Hockey is as important here as the Maple Leafs and Montreal Habs, and more fun to watch.
16. Yeah, we have golf courses. But don’t hit the water hazards — it spooks the fish.
17. Colleges? We have them all over. We have Universities and Community Colleges. They come out of there with an education plus a love for God and country, and they still wave at everybody when they come for the holidays.
18. We have a whole ton of folks in the Armed Forces. So don’t mess with us. If you do, you will get whipped by the best.
19. Turn down that blasted car stereo! That thumpity-thump crap isn’t music, anyway. We don’t want to hear it anymore than we want to see your boxers. (Refer back to #1).
20. TWO inches of snow & ice isn’t a blizzard - it’s a vacation. Drive in it like you have some sense, and DON’T take all our bread, milk, and bleach from the grocery stores. This isn’t Alaska, worst case you may have to live a whole day without croissants. The pickups with snow blades and tractors with snow blowers will have you out the next day.
21. Keep your politically correct crap to yourself.

The Great Depression Part Two?
To all the doomsayers, pessimists, and Chicken Little's, yes we are in a recession. But to run around screaming "the sky is falling ... the sky is falling ... run to the cave .., run to the cave", and speak of terms of a depression, I am telling you to give your head a shake. Current unemployment figures are up in this recession as expected, up to 7% of employable people, and the fact is that women were not included in the unemployment figures of the Great Depression of 1929-1939 where unemployment of the labour force (mostly men) was at 30%. By today's standards of equality, men and women are equally employable, and based upon the Great Depression standard of measuring unemployment, today's rate of unemployment would be 3.5% or conversely depression rates would be 60% unemployment. From an optimists point of view 93% of Canadians are employed today in a tough economic time.
I am sorry, Chicken Little's, the sky is not falling, and we are not in a depression, and yes the end is near ... the end of low stock prices ... and the end of the recession ... pessimism is doomed.

Liberals Breaking Rank
Professor Iggy will "allow" his Newfoundland MP's to break rank and vote against the budget "one time", thus once again begins the Liberal hand sitting in Dion fashion. Six of Iggy's Newfoundland Liberal MP's will vote against the budget in "protest to signal their displeasure".
Danny Boy Williams Liberal friends are on Iggy's probation along with the Conservatives and must write three timely reports on staying with the the Liberal collective mind... or else...
... or else Professor Iggy will make them write on the chalk board 100 times.

O Canada - True Patriot Love
Another excellent example of Canadians 'Standing up for Canada', Belleisle Elementary in Springfield New Brunswick, has been ordered to once again play our national anthem O Canada before classes begin.
Belleisle Elementary in Springfield stopped playing the anthem in September 2007 after two families complained about the practice.
A superintendent for School District 6 says a flood of calls and emails from across the country convinced the board to reinstate the anthem.
The issue made it to the House of Commons last week when New Brunswick MP Mike Allen said the anthem’s banning amounted to "political correctness run wild."
Belleisle principal Erik Millett defended the decision by saying only a few people had complained about the change. (Chronicle herald)Susan Boyd, whose daughter Julie attends Belleisle Elementary, is pleased with the decision, but her fight isn't over.
A petition is circulating and people in the community would like the province to introduce legislation on the playing of the anthem in schools. New Brunswick Education Minister Kelly Lamrock has said he will do everything in his power to make morning signings of O Canada mandatory. (CTVNews)
A great job by Canadians pressuring Parliament and School District 6 to reinstate the playing of the national anthem now lets have O Canada legislated as mandatory daily singing in all schools across this great nation of ours.
God bless Canada, Canadians and our schools. Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed ... um never mind that was banned from schools long ago in the name of Political Correctness. __________________________________________________
Update: Although we have a Victory, with the daily singing of the O Canada being reinstated to this school, Erik Millett has decided that it is in his best interest to take O Canada to the Human Rights Commission.
"The only thing I really have to say at this point is that I have contacted the New Brunswick Human Rights Commission and I will be pursuing the question of accommodation around this issue of through the Human Rights Commission and hopefully some clarity will come from the ruling they provide." (said Millett)
Political Correctness is the greatest threat to our freedom.
O Canada we stand on guard for thee.

They're Baaaaaaack ... Separatism
Only a few days after the breakup of of the Coalition for Kanada, made up of the Separatist Block, NDP, and Liberals. Gilles Duceppe is once again talking about Quebec separation.
These words of separatist "hope" right after weeks of the Liberals trying to explain to Canadians that separatism doesn't exist anymore, attempting to justify their Coalition with the Separatist Bloc.
It Looks good on the NDP and Liberal Party of Canada MP's, each signing the Coalition deal with the 'traitors' from the Bloc. I would even go so far as to suggest that by making this deal with the separatists to over throw the government, makes the NDP and Liberals traitors to Canada along with the Bloc. All this should make for good commercial material when the next election comes with that Separatist smell sticking to the Liberal Party.
Remember the Coalition deal that was signed between the Bloc Separatists and the Liberal Party? ....
"Our goal is as pertinent as ever," Bloc Leader Gilles Duceppe said at a party meeting in St-Hyacinthe, Que., yesterday. "In 2008, Bloc and Parti Quebecois victories brought hope to sovereigntists. It's up to us now to translate this hope into action."

O Canada - stand on guard for thee
Belleisle Elementary School (Springfield, N. B.) principal Erik Millett of the green party removed the daily singing of our National Anthem O Canada, because a few parents found it to be offencive.
O Canada!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!
From far and wide,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
Were those offended, feminists offended by the non gender neutrality of "True patriot love in all thy sons command"?
Were they communists offended by singing "The true north strong and free"?
Were they atheists, or worshipers of more then one god, offended by "God keep our land glorious and free" ?
Were they pacifists offended by "O Canada we stand on guard for thee"?
Were those offended also offended by the french version of O Canada?
O Canada! (translation)
Land of our forefathers
Thy brow is wreathed with a glorious garland of flowers.
As in thy arm ready to wield the sword,
So also is it ready to carry the cross.
Thy history is an epic of the most brilliant exploits.
Thy valour steeped in faith
Will protect our homes and our rights
Will protect our homes and our rights.
If you are offended and don't like our national anthem, because it fails to meet your politicaly correct vision of a homogeneous 'pinko' Kanada, don't sing along.
O Canada! we stand on guard for thee.

Will Iggy also drop his Kyoto plans?
I hesitantly agree with Iggys un-Dionish position of defending the Alberta Oil sands.
Iggy may have seen the light that the real pollution problem is not in Fort McMurray, but in other major Canadian cities such as Toronto.
There goes the Oil patch hating Liberal vote to the NDP and Greens.
Michael Ignatieff is known supporter of Canada paying into Kyoto. Not to long ago he was slamming the Conservative government for not ratifying the Liberal Kyoto deal of which Prime Minister Harper had said would require such drastic energy cuts it would ruin the Canadian economy. Perhaps Iggy will flip-flop on his illusion of Canada living up to the Liberal Kyoto commitment next.
Where does Iggy now stand on Kyoto after attempting to warm up to the Oil Patch? The last thing we need right now is more Liberals wanting to send our money out of Canada to pay for the 'theory' of Global Warming.
Could Iggy be playing the Liberal bait and switch pre-election plan, like Liberal Red book promise of eliminating the GST?
Just last year Iggy wrote on visiting the oil sands, " I haven't seen anything more exciting or more troubling in my travels this year". I wouldn't be surprised if he also liked "the smell" of oil being extracted from the sand.
Over all I think that Iggy is playing wishy-washy politics to get votes. He is rather good at saying much while saying nothing at the same time, and I believe because of that fact Iggy will framed as the wishy-washy intellect that he is.
Mr. Ignatieff, your intellectual stand on issues is comparable to that of the stand of a wet noodle.

Shootings up 18% in Toronto = Confiscate farmers guns now?
It seems that the billion dollar long gun registry, ban on shooting ranges, and the 'pixel dust' for pistols program is working 'fairy tale' wonders for reducing gun criminal numbers in Toronto.
"just a little bit of pixel dust" ... "think of the happiest things" ...
How many shootings by criminals this year in Toronto so far, 5 ... 6 ...? I have lost track already.
"just a little bit of pixel dust" ... "think of the happiest things" ...
How many shootings by criminals this year in Toronto so far, 5 ... 6 ...? I have lost track already.
I have killed 3 or was it 4 porcupines this winter that have been chewing on our trees, and tractor. The police just haven't caught on to my porcupine murdering spree ... oh well perhaps they are busy with real criminals.Gun crime a top police priority in 2009
Attacking the problem of gun violence in Toronto will continue to be a police priority for 2009, says the city's police chief."I am concerned about the number of shooting crimes, because that is the one type of criminal activity that we have seen go up," Bill Blair told CTV Toronto in a year-end interview.
"Although there's been fewer murders in the city, what we've seen is there's been more shooting occurrences."
Toronto police maintain a web page that shows year-to-date shootings. As of Dec. 15, there have been 236 shooting incidents in the city, an increase of 18 per cent over 2007. The number of victims is up to 336, about a 42 per cent increase over 2007. (...)
I am a free Canadian
One of my favorite Conservative Quotes
"I am a Canadian,
free to speak without fear,
free to worship in my own way,
free to stand for what I think right,
free to oppose what I believe wrong, or
free to choose those who shall govern my country.
This heritage of freedom I pledge to uphold for myself and all mankind."
Prime Minister John Diefenbaker
