Score another for the left
Corcoran says that giving more power to cities is the same as giving away more power to the left.

He Speaketh
You can’t ever get enough of Mark Steyn - here’s his latest interview with a fellower worshipper.
Once again, I was fortunate enough to have an opportunity to interview the man I consider to be the best columnist in the business, Mark Steyn.
With leaders like this
Due to inept central planning and eco-terrorism on our coal generators,
our province is once again on its electrical knees.
In an outstandingly foolish flourish of “leadership”, our Premier is going to do his part and not fix his personal air conditioner.
Shouldn’t the Premier be reassuring us that he’s working to solve the hydro strike, or maybe even working to fix the system that under-supplies our growing system?
Dalton is the antithesis of leadership.

PC Costs Security
An amazing story of politically correct multicult bullsh*t destroying our institutions.

Chocolate dreams
Good news! You can indulge
in a sinful food.
Brought to you by the Cocoa Council, I’m sure.

PC gone mad
Yet another example of the left doing everything they can to destroy tradition.

Days are numbered
Dead tree editions of news have a tough road ahead of them in the brave new digital world.
What looms now “is different from all other threats,” says Lauren Rich Fine (no relation), a Merrill Lynch & Co. (MER ) analyst who has covered the industry since the 1980s. Consumers are shifting decisively to online information, says Fine, especially the young, and are no longer yoked to the local newspaper.
Your monopoly at work
Closing coal plants without replacements, allowing picketers to block critical workers, holding a monopoly on power production all add up to potential chaos.
The IESO warned Ontarians that if all sources of supply are exhausted, “the IESO will take protective actions such as a system voltage reduction, or rotating cuts to supply. In these circumstances, no additional public notice may be possible.”
The sooner we start decentralizing power production, the better off we’ll all be. Of course, this isn’t the stuff Canadians or Liberals believe in, so join the line and enjoy the rationing.

Can’t come soon enough
As you all know, I am a big Toyota fan, as apparently are most new car owners today in Ontario.
Byron Sigel, a Michigan man who lives in Tokyo and drives an Estima Hybrid minivan, calls it “The best car I’ve ever owned.” Sigel says the minivan “seats eight, gets great gas mileage, good acceleration, is comfortable and has good storage. It is also very reliable.”
Not sure I can hold out for two more years, what with $60 oil.
Extraordinary talk
This is not your ordinary Mom giving the regular birds and bees talk.
Here’s the place to begin. Every time you make love, you could be making your first-born child.
Frank talk you don’t hear much about.

A Cautionary Tale
“The Middle Way” is rapidly collapsing in the socialist utopia called Sweden.
Limousine liberals and multi-cult freaks in Canada, take note.

An ideal candidate
It’s been a while since we’ve had a Darwin candidate.
An 82-year-old man was “determined” and “bullheaded” last week when he tried to use a household vacuum cleaner to siphon gas from his car while the engine was still running, family members said. But he wasn’t senile.

Depraved subject and reporters
Depravity hits a new low in this story, not only for the facts but because the report seems more worried about a dog than a 3 year old human being.
A Campobello teen is accused of raping one neighbor’s dog and another neighbor’s two little girls. Now the dog has died and charges against the teen have been upgraded.
Warren likes Steve
Warren may be a Liberal, but he still has a good sense of what (Ontario) voters want. Here’s some advice for Mr. Harper.
Well, because it matters. Because it provided a revealing glimpse into Stephen Harper’s character. Because it suggested to my family and me—die-hard Alberta Liberals, which is about as die-hard as a Liberal can get—that Stephen Harper was, at the end of the day, a nice person.

No kidding
More obvious news...
Teenagers and young adults who occasionally smoke cannabis over long periods are more likely to turn to more addictive drugs such as heroin, according to a study.
Abortion in the first degree
Eye magazine outlines an interesting case of abortion - or in this case, murder.
So Flores, on several occasions over a one-week period, stepped on Basoria’s belly while, the defence claims, she hit herself in an attempt to induce a miscarriage. They succeeded in terminating the pregnancy.
Where do you stand on this case?
At 20 weeks, or 5 months, I have no problem calling it murder.

Extreme abuse
It doesn’t get much worse than this.
A mother and her live-in boyfriend are charged with child endangerment after investigators say they kicked her two kids out of the house. The investigation began after a passerby found a 12-year-old boy and his 6-year-old sister walking along Highway CC near Niangua.
Roosters coming home to
...roost...some of the many 1st degree killers that would otherwise have been put to death are rotating into the parole system now, haunting and taunting the survivors of the victims.
Lindley Charles McArthur had turned 21 the day he kidnapped Lee Marie and later boasted the killing was a birthday present to himself.
Now, DiPalma is determined that “this sick, sadistic bastard” will spend the rest of his life in prison.
“Nobody will ever be safe if he ever gets out,” said DiPalma, 54.
The Trudeau effect of canceling the DP will live with us for generations: with the Liberals strangleholding Ottawa it appears no relief is in sight.

Zzzzzzzzzz
If you can keep awake long enough, read this.
Sleep is a natural part of everybody’s life, but many people know very little about how important it is, and some even try to get by with little sleep.
Mind gone to dogs
Just when you got sick of the pit bull debate, read
this and tell me what’s wrong with some pet (pit bull) owners.
Something tells me this woman should be spayed.

21st century belongs to the Anglos
Just when one might think, by looking at all that is made in China, that China is the future, Mark sets us straight with a reality check.
The 21st century will be an Anglosphere century, with America, India and Australia leading the way
Beat yourself
The brilliant Steyn on Gitmo, the leftest Western media’s latest self flagellation point.
Guantanamo will be remembered not as a byword for torture but for self-torture, a Western fetish the jihad’s spin doctors understand all too well.

Electronic tolls make sense
For all the bitching (Liberal hype, to be sure) about the 407’s billing, no story seems as bad as these ones from old fashioned toll booth tollways.
allegedly responded to a routine request for a receipt with this lyrical reply: “You white people are a pain in the ass! Kiss my sweet black ass.”
