Just another disgrace when it comes to hard work and honesty

If you own land, run a business , or expect to earn an honest living minding your own matters, while being responsible for yourself and your family. Make sure you don't live near a reserve.

Now before I go on I have the upmost respect for anyone of any color that works for a living, pays taxes, or those that don't but live with who they are within the circumstances they find themselves with honorable intentions that don't chant"I AM A VICTIM" anytime they see a chance.

Hearing and reading about what is transpiring in Caledonia my blood gets to boiling.

Nice to see a Mayor call a spade a spade when she said the local businesses of Caledonia where hurting,and they didn't have the benefit of an automatic paycheck. Feathers of course got ruffled; the truth does hurt.

Why do we let natives hold us hostage? Do they not possess brains, two hands, and feet like the rest of humanity? Why do liberals only recognize tradition when it comes to the color of someones skin as long as it isn't white? Isn't respect earned, and when was the last time you seen a native, someone on welfare, a stoned bum, or for that matter a politician earn it?

Something all the above have in common is their perception that they are entitled to respect they never earned in the first place. Maybe at one point in time, but I fail to see how residents of Canada, Ontario, least of all Caledonia even owe certain natives "the time of day" when they seem to have forgotten how to look for themselves. I don't blame anyone being pissed about that fact one bit.

"Luckily" we have McGuinty,tazers and pepper spray. Which by the way now are useless as the police said they will not raid the occupants camp again after a previous raid failed, and politicians of the liberal socialist variety feigned horror at the fact violence reared its ugly head and their backbones reverted back to jelly , how nice and touching.

I know how self reliant tax paying residents feel, I lived near Ipperwash and witnessed the total insanity of political correctness, and how the guilty cower behind its perception by those too weak to set the truth free.

Taxpayers and the truth carry the burdon natives have forgotten for its easier to be a pain use your color or your blood line to gain favor, of course it easier to take the time to be a pain when you know a cheques coming that isn't dependent, on your job performance, character, hours worked or personal worth to those that pay you.

The incidents like those at Ipperwash, Oka, and now Caledonia when the victims , those victims of their own stupidity and slothfulness are being the pain and holding communities, land owners, and buisnesses hostage.While government diddy daddles with sugar coated nicety, so natives can find or be handed their worth from somebody other than themselves.While others that know their worth no matter their color, or race while working to forge their own place and worth .Even while living with the setbacks and dishonesty ripe in todays world, and they themselves fall victim to their own stupidity also. The difference being they have learned from their mistakes and even then many never get the respect they have earned by being stand up individuals in this country while moving on productively with a smile on their face , instead of becoming the dead weight many native protesters like to be, while receiving our tax dollars.

Its time to say sorry for your luck, heres your kick at self government, our laws are your laws when it comes to buisness administration, taxes, paying for your legal fees etc etc....... their isn't much room for negotiation but heres the kick at the can you want, just like "everyone else" (mostly everybody) otherwise live with your selfish stupidity, like its nature intends.

All you have to do is try and quit expecting something from the rest of Canada the war of 1812 was long ago, and our veterans that fought in WW 2 get sold short so quit whining start making the change into a nation the earns respect, not searching for it like a whining pup searching for a teat.

I don't owe you anything, my children certainly don't, nor do my neighbours, only the respect you have HONESTLY EARNED no matter your creed, color or religion.

Oh and only the guilty need feel offended.

Update : One could only" hope
" (the perception of the indian problem is false though)

Liberal Repellant

Surfin the net today I think I stumbled on a stop gap measure to get a liberal out of your face: The Moon!

It seems the moon smells like......GUNPOWDER !!

Yes ....that is if the dust from it can be mined, mixed with skunk piss and made to be sprayed like bear repellant.

What a perfect ingredient for a liberal repellant, even if it didn't work it would make a great gag gift, remember those pet rocks?

I know you could also just use the truth, good news about Iraq , a picture of a clubbed seal, or all the bad points about Kyoto, you know the usual but just like swatting a mosquito(that can't stand the sight of blood), it gets laborious after awhile.

It seems the truth can be clubbed just like a seal

This past Friday while waiting for dump trucks to arrive at the job site, I had the chance to listen to Focus 980 a local call in show hosted by a conservative I usually agree with.
He was having Cathy Kangas as a guest. She was offering the Canadian government 16 million dollars to end the seal hunt.

Mr Wilson the host of the show seem to grow of the opinion Mrs. Kangas wasn’t out to lunch as others at PETA and like organizations usually are. However it didn’t take much time for the listener to hear Kangis and summize though articulate and coming from a different direction she, under the surface differs very little from McCartney and company.


After hearing Kangas not far in, state that there where two victims when it came to the seal hunt one being the fisherman, the other being the seals. That statement in itself is red flag number one. As soon as you hear a person use victim whether its about an animal ,welfare recipient , or a young man turning to crime you know logic is suddenly suspect, and their view that honest human beings that exist amidst certain responsibilities and natural rules are close minded, barbaric, and rather stupid. It also was easy to hear her half hearted but calculated support for the fisherman, who she said where supporting of her offer, something not surprising really as even the best of us will sell out our principles.

True to the left leaning form of your generic animal rights activist she mentioned making the seal hunters park rangers who would inoculate the seals rendering them sterile, however she also mentioned the danger involved in clubbing seals. I guess she fails to see the danger in walking over the same ice floes to inoculate them as clubbing them. Plus a club is not as sharp as a needle.

If anything Kangas was skilled in her ability of deception, and playing both sides of the fence ; a liberal strong point.

Many questioned her views , though praised her persona on the show however she was a snake oil salesmen and a good one at that, she didn’t mention that the 16 million dollars was coming from private donations, and other animal rights activist groups, she seemed content to let it stand that the money was hers? She also seemed to like the fact that the host John Wilson was referring to her point of view as being different and unemotional compared to others that have spoken out against the seal hunt.

I contended that she was good at hiding that emotion, I’m sure she harbours those emotions but knew as the left goes that their hair brained ideals when it comes to the way things are in our natural kingdom usually leads many to view animals rights activists as nuts..... rightly so.

Having heard enough I called in, wishing Kangas no ill will I called her on her bluff , and stated I see no difference between her and McCartney or any other A.R.A other than a good chunk of change, Mr Wilson disagreed with me, however there are realities we all must face in this world and those are if you live something living must die so you do so. You cannot remove yourself from that fact(without dying) , we all kill something to survive though maybe indirectly.

The final nail that signalled to me Kangas was a fraud when it came to objectivity, and a reasonable view on human existence amongst the animal kingdom came when she referred to my call as moot when it came to the right and wrong of killing animals. Her moral relativity , and lack of respect for a wrong and a right leaves me wondering how she than can be for or against the seal hunt when she cannot have the courage to believe in right and wrong when it comes to something she believes in. I asked if she was a member of PETA? She replied “no”, however on getting home from work and doing a search I found she was a member of The Sea Shepards " Certainly she wasn't totally dishonest nor was she totally truthfull she knew what I was digging for it was what she was hiding ; her resemblance in ideals to thiswoman and these organizations and their inability to stand anything they find unpleasent to their sensibilities and their inability to admit that they to are just as much a killer as Joe Blow hunter and trapper, and the only way we stop taking from this planet is when we cease to exsist. Hunters and trappers and those that take reality for what it is, accept that fact nor do they see value in an living organisims extinction no matter how cute it is.

Kangas and company, Paul included are not able to handle that fact and animals will always come before people, and truth and logic. I wonder what their views are when it comes to their lives and livelyhoods.

Cathy you don't fool me.

Don't you just love the smell of a revolution in the morning ?

Well here is one group of farmer’s that where not sitting in the local coffee shop “bitching”, and doing nothing but watching things stay the same. One has to respect the backbone of the farmer in question and his neighbours that walked a dangerous line against the police and bureaucrats’. One also has to wonder at the motives of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, and the egg producers’ board had in raiding his farm, but wouldn’t you think they would have known a visit from the Lanark Landowners Association was a likely event?

I almost think the powers that be namely Mcgiveme would love for the L.L.A to go pound salt and disappear,and one wonders if he isn't testing the rural resolve or trying to break it? Like I have said before governments like his fear citizens like Shawn Carmichael and Mr Hiller, who love the taste freedom can give a person but would like a good feed of it, and realise governments love just giving you little spoonfuls even though it is not theirs to give in the first place.

They demanded respect and I think quite rightly said with their actions“ WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE” maybe its time other farmers in Ontario quit riding on these kind of honourable actions, quit bitching and do something about it.


Farmers better wake up take heed, even grab a pitchfork and demand some freedom. All rural people not just the people that reside in rural locations, but those that know what the rural self reliant character is all about, should stand together as one and peacefully “SCARE THE SHIT OUT OF THOSE IN GOVERNMENT THAT SEEK TO CONTROL THE FREE MAN”.

Quit crying for money neighbours and demand more respect less regulation. Peacefully tell those like McGiveme that could not give a rat’s ass for “backwards hicks” that vote conservative or have libertarian leanings to “F*ck off” for a change.

This story should be an inspiration to all farmers, business owners, actually anyone that believes in freedom, to stand up.

UPDATE: here is a more detailed recollection of the whole standoff

Genuine respect seems to be a conservative quality.

It has been reported under Harper’s watch that flags around our capitol haven’t been lowered to half mast when one of our own has fallen in Afghanistan? They where however lowered to half-mast by the liberals every time a soldier fell except for one?

Is it not our duty as citizens to lower our own “internal flag” when we hear of a soldier’s sacrifice whether it was yesterday or in the conflicts of the past, that at one time helped define who we where as a country? Is it not a small repayment, to stand ready and honour our soldiers, and their commitment to their country? Without the need of a lowered flag?

Do we continually lower our flag for every soldier, or continually keep our awareness of how important our soldiers are and have been to our country and the world? Do we look towards all of our soldiers past and present with equal admiration and thanks daily, or at the very least save a spot in our hearts for their remembrance, and honour them in keeping their worth known in our minds as fighting men that have always fought the good fight?

If it is a duty to lower a flag for the fallen, then all flags in this country should never be raised over half. Why do we need a flag lowered for every life in the present to spike some form of rememberance? Those that have fallen I am sure would rather be respected and honoured as second nature, and have that same respect shown to their fellow troops and families by their government and their fellow citizen’s.

Could it be Canada has a political party that is of the character that has respect for the military, and expects the same from its citizens? Do we finally have a political party that holds the belief that every citizen should be able to recognize the significance of a soldiers sacrifice everyday? After so many years do we have a PM that finds it personally distasteful to patronize a loss common in military service especially in a theatre of war by lowering a symbol shortly? It does not do the deed merit, when the honourable act of a soldier requires so much from those living under the peace and freedom he protected for more than a day. Our character as a country should honesty reflect a soldier’s duty not to die but be honourable, and righteous in the face of adversity and evil.

That I think defines the Canada Harper would like us to be, and many have in their selfishness forgot.

A Good Read

This post is well worth the read.

The difference between a good parent and the best parent

In reading a post tonight from a concerned mother, who is divorced. I couldn'’t help but see the signs of the same syndrome, that seems to me to be one of the many side affects of divorce. Not just prevalent in divorce but more harmful to a child in a family divided by that invisible barrier only the wise take heed of, and learn from.

The mother upon learning of her twelve year old daughter'’s desire to acquire a expensive puppy, tries to impress upon her daughter that her desire is hers alone to fulfill, as in reality we have to gradually wean the little teenage "“ monsters"”. In other words the mother wants her to earn it. However the father has different ideas, he thinks the daughter is too young etc etc.

However the fact remains life dictates our wants can only really be supplied by our own work, our parents pass eventually, and money doesn'’t grow on trees planted by liberals and socialists. In reality in this society our wants directly fall in behind our duties -– taxes, bills a roof over our heads, being parents that pass on more than money.

What better way to foster character and a better grasp of who they are as an individual in a thinking young human being, then have them learn how to work from someone other than family ? They need to learn how it feels to be criticized, scrutinized by a boss who demands value from them without the hug afterwards, and being tired from more than watching Much Music or talking on the phone, and the clincher? Maybe failing; the most scary unpleasant feeling of the whole mix. Maybe they will learn a valuable lesson, and they will mature in more ways than just a birth date?

How could a father or a mother not want their child to grow in a natural way? While certainly being concerned that the hammer life can be doesn'’t make their child the anvil before they develope the mental hardness to take its blows.

The father is just delaying the inevitable, the mother wants to get it over and done with as life is with all certainly waiting to show what it has in store, and we all get to see in no uncertain fashion, how unpleasant some moments can be, and those moments to each and every individual are defining ones no question.

Those lessons, some of the most valuable are lost most easily to children between divorced parents, the arguments in many cases to the children are explained second hand, as they see one side at a time, and unfortunately I fear in most cases one parent takes the easy road and coddles, and "“dutifully"” says what the child wants to hear, just to be revered and thought of fondly or the best - that'’s cheating, and coming from an adult despicable and sad.

We aren'’t perfect , children aren'’t perfect, and life isn'’t perfect and the sooner a child learns to put a smile on their own face from those honourable moments in life that matter most when we really feel our smile, they will be better off. Just as a parent would be better off realizing we aren'’t going to be around forever , and our children can either cheat at life, or take what wisdom we as parents or concerned adults pass on and someday they as adults and parents connect the dots and realise what life is all about, and what duty a parent really has - to pass on lessons with caring and the knowledge that someday their child is going to be called upon to be an adult, and they aren'’t going to be around to protect them.

My greatest reward in life ?– The day my daughters realise why “I was "the sternest bastard in the world"”, because I loved them so much to be anything else and their beauty and value has only grown as they have. I truly believe even with the hardships, the temporary fears of not being a good parent, my daughters have given me more than I will ever be able to repay to them, and it is a disservice to their beauty, character, and honest innocence to shield them at 11 and 14 from what life has in store, good or bad.

In her post the mother talks of her sins. Where is the sin in reality, when it truly exists in denial?

It's nice to be noticed

I have a thank you to put out there for Kate at Small Dead Animals, she took the time to link to me - and today my page views are up 365% (my free service stops at 1000 page views per day), too bad it wasn't because of something I wrote :). I really appreciate the time she takes to produce her blog, go thru all her emails, yet get on with her seemingly busy life. I find it hard and I'm surely not as busy, of course I'm an amateur when it comes to blogging, even writing.
I'm just saying thanks to Kate for her time.
She seems like a salt of the earth gal - but then most conservative women are.

Where are the left's balls?

You know I once told someone who had their undies in a knot over America and Iraq that they should not get so upset. Once democracy takes hold there as it has, and time goes by soon Iraq will have a divorce rate the same as ours is today, feminism will be in full swing and all of our other little bad habits when it comes to culture will be apparent, it’s just a side affect of “progressiveness” and politics.
So Jack what do you want your all for change? It seems to me you should be supporting our troops that are trying to bring a change for the better to another war torn society.
Your all for human rites at “all” costs, progressive ideals propelled out into society without much thought or concern?
Yet when soldiers that represent a modern country Iike Canada, put themselves in harms way, and inevitably bad things start to happen. We lose boys, and the realisation that the world can be a pretty barbaric place hits close to home, the left recoils blames the “evil”
Americans and wants to bring the boys home.
Our soldiers always fought the good fight, but somehow under the left the feeling was lost. It was like a father sending off a son he could really give a rats ass for. Nice to see there is some genuine concern by our government for our men and women in uniform that are trained to kill the bad guys, and help those that can’t help themselves.
I can't pretend to say what we should do with the troops in Afghanistan. For one I’m not a parent of a soldier, and have never served in the military. However if our men and women want to be there, feel they are making the lives of the good people there better, and killing the bad ones. I’ll proudly support them being there, just like our new PM ; with a longed for lump of pride for my country in my throat.
God Bless the soldiers in harms way and their families, and may Canada find some of its fortitude we have always had but have lost along the way.

Its a small world

Reading the local newspaper this week I was surprised to find some encouraging news that could help suggest Stephen Harper hasn't lost touch with the common man, and intends to keep with his promises.I found it even more surprising that it came from a good friend of mine I attended public and high school with. I took the liberty of scanning the paper and posting the article.

McGuinty - Does he want a medal or a chest to pin it on?

If you can imagine being back in public school at recess listening to the classic whiney tattletale voice his disdain over some perceived unfairness to the nearest teacher.It wouldn't be hard to see the similarities between Dalton Mcguinty and that one annoying brat we all remember.
Alberta proposes giving people that can pay the choice to get the care they need privately and Ontario's liberal premier screams blue murder, and seems to think that won't be Ontarios way.
Of course Dalton being the model liberal would rather just nailthose that work, with a claw back at tax time. Notice freedom of choice when it comes to your health isn't part of "McGiveme's" governing style. There is one choice he recognizes though and supports, the ability for an Ontarian to not work, whine about being a victim well collecting welfare, and getting off scott free when it comes to paying for the services they use, and being considered equal . They are no doubt behind McGuinty and his whining 100 % I'm sure.
McGuinty's disapproval of Alberta's plan should be met with a big meaty middle finger from those in Canada that like to have choice when it comes to themselves and their families welfare. I like politicians that have the fortitude to give the citizen's they represent a choice McGuinty and those that voted him in are still looking for theirs.
The biggest problem with McGuinty is hes full of the brown stuff, yet thinks he knows best.
Maybe he should stop governing like Toronto is all of Ontario, and worry about freedom of choice in his own province before he starts telling others what to do.

Theres more to the story than a Conservative that says the F word

It seems lately when it comes to the local inquiry into the shooting of Dudley George all we seem to hear is how the premier at the time ( Mike Harris) was to blame, for the violent and tragic outcome at the occupied provincial park. Before I go farther, it does seem the Army Camp lands should have been returned to the Stoney Point natives long ago . This may have saved a tragic death, and a 15 million dollar inquiry into why it happened. However one could easily wonder if demands from some natives will ever end. Common sense would dictate an illegal takeover of a provincial park would bring grief upon any common man, however today's political correctness and the appeasement that follows minorities (most of the time) may lead some of them to believe they are above the law.

Reading MPP Marcel Beaubien's testimony refreshes ones memory when it comes to the comments and feelings of friends and acquaintances that where floating around at the time of the take over. Not all events leading up to the gunfire filled night of Sept 6 1995 where the "white mans" problem, and I sincerely hope 15 million dollars worth of testimony doesn't end in a one sided exercise in appeasement, and an excuse for anarchy.
I have to give Marcel credit he told it like it was, and if anyone wonders why many people here have little sympathy for the native cause, these are a few of the reasons :

(Taken from the transcripts)

(Lawyer) Q: And perhaps you could tell us if you
12 could, describe where the -- the piece of property or the
13 lands in question were located relative to the Park and
14 the Army Camp?
15 (Marcel) A: Well, it would be -- it's located
16 west of -- of the Army Camp but closer to the Kettle
17 Stony --
18 Q: Point Reserve?
19 A: That's right, yeah.
20 Q: All right. And how did this matter
21 come to your attention as a member of Provincial
22 Parliament?
23 A: Well, like I said it was brought to
24 my attention by friends and they were very frustrated
25 also and -- and I shared their -- their concern and

281
1 their frustration because some of them, I don't know,
2 some of them lived there for a number of years.
3 They had -- they thought they had a clear
4 title to their land and I'm sure when they purchased the
5 property that they had paid the land transfer tax. And I
6 thought in Ontario that once you had a clear deed to your
7 property that you should be able to enjoy that property
8 and these people were not able to do that.
9 And I felt that the Provincial Government
10 had some type of responsibility to help these people in
11 defraying some of the costs. There were some tremendous
12 amount of legal costs involved with that which they
13 pocketed themselves.
14 And I think we all have to look at ourself
15 and ask each -- each one of us has to ask the question:
16 If I were in their boat or in their situation how would I
17 feel, especially when I have a piece of paper that tells
18 me that I've got a legal deed to my property? I paid all
19 the taxes and somebody comes along and says, No. And the
20 Province is sitting on the sideline doing nothing.
21 So, it was a -- you know I could -- I
22 could see why the people are frustrated with that
23 particular situation.
24 Q: All right. And just so that we're
25 all familiar with what you're speaking of do -- do -- can

282
1 you just tell us firstly who you understood the parties
2 to this dispute to be and what the dispute was about so
3 far as you understood it?
4 A: Well, as far as I understood it
5 apparently the -- you know again, you know I'm going back
6 and I haven't refreshed but I -- I think the -- the suit
7 was somewhat unique because as opposed to having a land
8 claim on that property each individual property owner was
9 being sued by the natives which --
10 Q: By which organization?
11 A: Pardon?
12 Q: By -- by whom were they --
13 A: By the natives. By the --
14 Q: Can you be more specific?
15 A: The Kettle Stony.
16 Q: The First Nation?
17 A: That's right, yeah.
18 Q: All right.
19 A: And so it certainly presented an
20 interesting twist because it was not your typical land
21 claim and so consequently people were left to themselves
22 to -- and they had to fend for themself also, you know,
23 financially and legally and everything




Q: And can you tell us in -- in general
5 what those concerns were that were being conveyed to you
6 as MPP?
7 A: Well aside from the -- the claim,
8 there was no doubt that there was some intimidation,
9 some harassment, some break-ins, people were being threatened
10 in some cases.
11 And these are the complaints that, you
12 know, that I was fielding from the constituents.
13 Q: All right. And did they tell you who
14 -- who they believed were causing the intimidation and
15 the other acts you -- you've indicated?
16 A: Yeah. In -- in this case the finger
17 was pointed at -- at the Natives.
18 Q: And any particular group?
19 A: Well that fluctuated because some of
20 them were familiar to the people that lived there but
21 others they weren't -- you know, they didn't know who
22 they were. They were new faces.
23 Q: All right. And did the constituents
24 draw a link between this activity and the West Ipperwash
25 litigation?

285
1 A: Well I think some people alluded to
2 the fact that, you know, maybe it was part and parcel but
3 I, you know, I'm only going by what the people were
4 telling me. I don't know. Like I said I don't live in
5 the area so it's something that I did not certainly
6 experience myself.


I went to one of the landowner meetings at a local Arena I didn't own land in West Ipperwash but I certainly sympathized with the residents that worked hard and payed taxes, just to have one land claim ruin their peaceful lives and many of those people where retired it was sad to see the despair and helplessness on many landowners faces, hard work and being responsible citizens certainly earned them more respect from both the federal and provincial governments.

A letter from one of the residents taken from the transcripts.

"I retired from teaching in June of
14 1991, continued to work until she was
15 diagnosed with stomach cancer in June
16 of 1992. We made our house at West
17 Ipperwash beach our principle residence
18 during the summer of 1992.
19 We were served with a papers for the
20 land claim of the Chippewa of Kettle
21 and Stony in December of 1992."

Comments on the matter from Marcel :

4 for most people, home ownership is the largest investment
5 that they make.
6 And if you're like this person here,
7 basically retired, probably on a fixed income and all of
8 a sudden your largest investment that you work a whole
9 lifetime is being challenged, I would strongly suggest to
10 everyone in this audience here today, that it would
11 create some increase of stress level, I would think.

Also some enlightening comments from Marcel taken from his letter to the Attorney General:

"Tensions have again escalated over
13 this past weekend and my constituents
14 have the following concerns."
15 And then we talk about the costs involved
16 with the civil action:

3. That the residents are faced with a
21 situation whereby they cannot sell
22 their properties because of the legal
23 action taken

4. That residents have to pay property
25 taxes while the ownership of their
1 property is in the hands of the Court
2 system."

6. There's a lot of intimidation going on
10 at the moment and the residents feel
11 threatened."
12 Again, this is what I'm passing on from
13 what I'm hearing from the residents

According to the residents:
15 "Law enforcement is basically non
16 existent and the OPP does not seem too
17 keen in getting involved."
18 And lastly:
19 "Residents are stressed out and this
20 situation is becoming unbearable."

Well this may not directly have anything to do with the shooting of Dudley George it certain shows why sympathy towards natives in this area, rightly so is lacking.

The property owners finally won Aug 18, 1995.


Camp Ipperwash and a few comments from Marcel pertaining to the area, and the attitudes of residents leading up to Sept 6

Q:(Lawyer) Now, you indicated that prior to your
11 election as MPP, you were aware that there was a dispute
12 involving the local Aboriginal people concerning the Army
13 Base, the Military Base, Camp Ipperwash.

Q : All right. And did you receive any
24 inquiries or communications from your constituents
25 relative to Camp Ipperwash and this dispute?

(Marcel) Well, yeah, I did -- the subject
5 matter was raised because, again, I think a lot of people
6 in the area felt that a lot of the harassment, the
7 intimidation, the break-ins, were people that live in the
8 Army Base area.

For instance, at night, along the Army
4 Camp Base, high powered flashlights would be flashed in
5 people's homes at night, not only for seconds but for
6 long periods of time where, you know, keep them from
7 sleeping.
8 So, you know, there were certainly some
9 illegal or not legal activities going on in the area

A: Well, I think generally speaking, I
3 think people were concerned first of all part of the Base
4 had been occupied a couple years prior to this and now
5 the entire Base had been taken over and I think the
6 concern was, okay what's next.

Q (Lawyer): And -- and what was the context for
22 that discussion concerning the policing of the Base?
23 A: Well, I was receiving a lot of
24 complaints from area residents that if there was an
25 occurrence that the police would be chasing the
1 individuals and as soon as they got to the Army Base gate
2 that the police chase would stop there.
3 And that created an awful lot of
4 frustration with the people because they felt that the
5 law was not being upheld. And it was just like living in
6 a third world that all of a sudden you got to this area
7 and nothing happens.

A: Well, yeah. And to pass on the --
11 the concerns that I was receiving from my constituents
12 because I felt it was important. You -- you know, we got
13 realize that, you know, this is not 2005 it was 1995, and
14 the situation was pretty tense in the area.
15 I mean, you know, the -- the area is
16 crawling with police. I'm sure there was all kinds of
17 intelligence going on. People were living in fear.
18 People were being intimidated. People were being
19 harassed. People were being chased on the beach.
20 So, it was not a beach -- what you would
21 call a nice Sunday afternoon beach party. So, the area
22 was quite tense and --
A: So, that I can relay back to my
8 constituents. Because you got to -- you -- you must
9 realize that by this time, there's probably a -- you
10 know, calls are coming by -- probably a hundred (100)
11 calls a day coming into the constituency office.
12 Not that I mind the calls, but people are
13 asking for -- for answers and I don't really have
14 anything to give them. And I personally feel that
15 somebody somewhere must have something to give me so that
16 I can pass it on.
A: Well, I'll stand by what I wrote down
2 and I'll read it for the record. It says:
3 "Boaters came ashore for a picnic.
4 Natives pulled in on beach, pulled
5 umbrellas out and coolers and put them
6 in their car, in their car trunks.
7 Confrontation occurred between the
8 Natives and families on beach. Young
9 children were present. Natives threw
10 bottles at the boat and apparently one
11 native pointed a gun at one of the
12 boaters."
13 And that was on August the 20th, 1995, and
14 that's relayed to me by Mr. Williams.


Q:(Lawyer) All right. I see in the third
14 paragraph that this constituent is -- appears to be
15 characterizing the occupiers as hooligans. Was that your
16 interpretation?
17 A: Well, like I said again this morning,
18 some people were referring to them as terrorists, others
19 as hooligans, animals or thugs, so there was different
20 words used, I don't know which one is the proper one.



Them - being natives causing trouble

A: Well, at that particular point in
17 time, we probably talk also about constituents --
18 constituents arming themselves and I certainly didn't
19 want to see that, and I'm sure Inspector Carson did want
20 to see that. And so whether that relates to that, I
21 don't know.
22 Q: Well that --
23 A: Because there was talk, I mean, and I
24 showed evidence, letters, that we received that people
25 were willing -- and phone calls, that people were -- were
1 willing to arm themselves




Marcel pretty well sums up the situation around Ipperwash at the time and today probably still exists just in lower doses.

1 part:
2 "It appears that over the last few
3 years all levels of government have
4 adopted a non confrontational approach
5 when faced with Natives undertaking
6 illegal acts to enforce claims or air
7 grievances. This must stop. Each time
8 Natives or any other identifiable group
9 are seen to make gains through illegal
10 means with no punishment, three (3)
11 things happen.
12 The first is that the public perceives
13 members of the group have special
14 status of the laws that supposedly bind
15 all of us equally and are there to
16 ensure the peaceful co-existence of our
17 society have exceptions. The group is
18 above the law.
19 The second is that the public begins to
20 resent those who have the perceived --
21 who have the perceived special status.
22 Why can that group get away with
23 something we cannot? The public will
24 then react strongly against any group
25 member, rightly or wrongly.
1 This -- this certainly does not lend
2 itself to peaceful co-existence.
3 [Sorry]
4 The activities of a small group of
5 Natives could affect the treatment of
6 Natives across the country. Attitudes
7 will harden into a them versus us
8 mentality and solutions to problems
9 will be much harder to achieve.
10 The third consequence is that overall
11 respect for the law diminishes. There
12 is no such thing as a right without a
13 remedy, neither is there a law without
14 enforcement. If illegal acts are
15 tolerated they spread. The end result
16 is anarchy. People begin to perceive
17 the Government cannot protect them and
18 their interests. They begin to take
19 steps to protect themselves. These
20 steps can lead to tragic consequences.
21 If governments will not enforce the law
22 citizens through elected officials have
23 seen fit to live by, respect for the
24 Government and those who comprise it is
25 -- is lost."


Its funny how thw MSM skips over the comments I mentioned above. I haven't had the time to search for more goodies but I will . Socialists tend to blindly sympathize with those natives that cause these disturbances, as well as turn their heads when their "brothers" harass their white tax paying neighbor's. I'm betting they wouldn't be so sympathetic if it was their land and home under the gun, but then being hypocritical is their M.O. isn't it?

I'm not trying to generalize .Any color of people have the good and bad, so only the guilty need be offended.
Its a real shame 15 million dollars is being spent on BS, when something had to give ; It did and a native unfortunately died.
People thoughts in Forest Ont(home of the inquiry) and surrounding area will not change due to the inquiry, its just more of the same old same old socialist drivel.
Many are wondering when will this ever end, and will our children have to pick up our native neighbours tabs long after their parents are gone?
We need more politicians that say shit when they have a mouth full, and stick by their constituents like Marcel did, their story needed to be told.
The natives well its time to move on, and pick yourselves up.

Your Kidneys Please.

Its just so nice to read the some politicians even know where OUR body parts should wind up.
Where the hell do they get off ?
To be honest I don't have a clue what my donor status is, but if this bill passes, I'll be sure to decline my intent to donate. Freedom of choice sure seems to suffer when "John and Jane Do Good" come up with hair brained ideas to make life so much more unrealistic. Sure it sucks sitting their waiting for an organ transplant, but I wonder what right does someone have to my "stolen" body part. I can hear it now "Your dead what do you need it for ?" I don't, but why let some slimy bureaucrat violate my body and determine my wishes, so he or she can feel like they are worth something.
Its bad enough we are expected to be good little sheep and BAAAAAAAA when instructed. Now politicians think we are obliged to give up an organ or two, just because they know what's best.
Yes you can decline,if you remember to notify the bureaucracy, otherwise your an organ donor.
What's next legislating a vitamin program and diet for every Ontarian, so our organs are healthy,and able to be donated.
Far fetched? Not if we are willing to be treated as livestock by idiots.

They do exist :

A fine example of a conservative woman.

One one thousand one..One one thousand two.....

Well I’m already bored with all the doom and gloom, floating around about Harper and his ethics. We have had the first wave of “shock” applied to our senses; many have beaten it to death. Let’s hope a good dose of awe is in the wings waiting to dispel the fear of those holding their white flags, and give others that are holding out for the “enlightenment” a reason to burn theirs.

Here are a couple of jabs from the left -

Manley joked that ‘‘every once in a while we have to let the Tories take over so that Canadians remember just how good a Liberal government is.

Eizenga said Harper has demonstrated that he ‘‘can’t be trusted’’ to deliver on his promises. That’s from the Liberal party president and sounds a lot like some of the conservatives that where fit to be tied last week.

From this article ;

Liberals hoping for quick comeback

Maybe that helps remind some conservatives who the real enemy is, and they aren’t on our side of the wire. The liberals are still moving and it isn’t just involuntary muscle spasms. They need a few more sharp political taps across the bridge of their nose, and those carrying the stick shouldn’t be squeamish.

European Word Police

Just another reason for Canada, to NOT be like Europe.
I found this story at Free Dominion.

By agreeing to a charter "the press will give the Muslim world the message: we are aware of the consequences of exercising the right of free expression, we can and we are ready to self-regulate that right", he said.

How nice, have a little tantrum and get an ideological "ice cream cone", anyone know someone kids that where raised that way.
Little "bastards" aren't they?
I'm sure the UN will be sounding their praise soon. Its not a pretty sight watching runaway political correctness, trying to be spoonfed to sheep.

Maybe they would be better served making "How To Be Responsible Activist Classes" mandatory.

Ahmed Akkari, a young Islamic scholar and Danish activist, was on a mission. Having failed to get the Prime Minister to take action over the cartoons' perceived slight to Islam, he had sought help from esteemed figures in the Muslim world, he says.

Well he got it.....

A walk down memory lane

For those of you that are outraged and are talking about something akin to reform.

Preston and Stornoway.

Frankly the only principle I'm holding Stephen to (at the moment) is to hold on and make some positive changes in Ottawa. Many seem to think Conservatism holds the same power as the Ark of the Covenant when it comes to impressing the electorate and vaporizing modern liberalism with principles, that might of worked a decade or two ago, and will again if Harper wins enough games of chess.
Realistically in this parliament, Harpers decisions are going to bring up the stomach bile in conservatives more than once I'm afraid.
You can't stand on principles in politics, when your basically holding on by your finger nails.

Disappointing? Not really.....

Wow, getting home from work and learning David Emerson has crossed the floor to the conservatives. Well to be honest in the past I had a local "liberal" MP who I wished would have done the same, as she was against C-68, SSM, as well as other things her government supported, she never did but she did drop out before the last election , my guess - she silently realized her party was way left of her small town - rural values, and found her conscience

I've seen it said Emerson is a blue grit (red tory?). Not my favorite kind of conservative, actually I'm more receptive to social liberals, who I believe are more deserving of the term confused conservative, than red tories are.

I certainly didn't like Belinda crossing the floor, and Mr Emerson I'm sure pissed off many voters in his riding, and conservatives outside of it as well, and I can't really agree with what he did on a personal basis. However Emerson is walking into a shaky situation - a weak minority(now stronger), where no one really knows whats going to come of this new parliment, lead by the conservatives.
He didn't exactly land into the kind of empire that Belinda enjoyed with Martin and the (thieving) liberals.

Myself I think Harper sees the bigger picture, in a positive sence for the whole country.Not just a few select groups.I'm not going to throw the baby out with the bath water yet.

My liberal lite alarm isn't going off.


I've always believed Harper has had a vision for a different Canada, one many of us can remember, its been boarded over by modern liberalism and its "insanity".
Harper wants to make all of us proud of the things that really matter , first though he needs a chance, and I'm willing to give him one.

Some great comments on Emerson's crossing can be found here.

Update Kate has an excellent post up

Better late than never.

Well I’m a little late off the mark when it comes to comments, on the “nasty” cartoons. I was busy this weekend, and was wondering how to address the whole issue.
After reading this snippet:


A democracy cannot survive long without freedom of expression, the freedom to argue, to dissent, even to insult and offend. It is a freedom sorely lacking in the Islamic world, and without it Islam will remain unassailed in its dogmatic, fanatical, medieval fortress; ossified, totalitarian and intolerant. Without this fundamental freedom, Islam will continue to stifle thought, human rights, individuality; originality and truth.

Unless, we show some solidarity, unashamed, noisy, public solidarity with the Danish cartoonists, then the forces that are trying to impose on the Free West a totalitarian ideology will have won; the Islamization of Europe will have begun in earnest. Do not apologize.


By Ibn Warraq

(h/t Kate)



and following this principle, what goes around …




Comes around :





I’ll side with FREEDOM, and with those that don’t kill or threaten to because they are offended.
As for the progressives, that love to coddle victims of there own self prescribed imbecility, then wrap them in socialist tolerance.
Keep it up and sooner or later when your head is buried in the sand , your hypocrisy will sneak up and bite you in the ass.

Whats that smell? Oh its Miller and McGuinty.

The more I hear Premier McGuinty , the more I seem to think his ilk in our provincial government, as well as those in Toronto city council and the mayors office, are off their stick.
Its seems Toronto is going to come up short on its power demands buy 2008, and McGuinty with his “red cape” and unsettling grin, will save the day.
How you ask?

Well Toronto needs to build a generating station says McGuinty. I wouldn’t doubt it as McGuinty seems to love to walk step in step with the KYOTOITES. Lets face it, even clean burning coal fired plants are being shut down by his comrades.
If that isn’t bad enough, what fossil fuel does he want to replace coal with? The same fuel many heat their homes with natural gas, now think supply and demand and imagine a liberal government that knows best when it comes to your finances.
Now in Toronto’s case you would think if a generating station was going to be built, and Toronto had a garbage problem it would burn …….garbage .

Sorry you have the wrong government and wrong mayor. It seems Miller wants co generation as people in Toronto would like subsidized heating for their homes and industry. I think that’s great as well, as long as the residents pay for it, not their neighbours, and its fired by their garbage.

It also seems Miller is fond of the way it is done in Europe.
Well Mr Miller you don’t have to look far to see how they do it.

People that share Miller's views seem to resemble those that would throw a dirty diaper on your lawn, just so they didn’t have to smell it. They don’t seem to mind, the garbage trucks rolling down the 401 and 402 getting rid of THEIR garbage, making more smog, filling your landfills, congesting your highways, etc.

They are just anti- anything that can be shown to make their life uncomfortable, but at the same time could care less about you.

Please just make Toronto its own country, at least then we could close the borders.
