Lorne Gunter: Jack Layton is a fine one to complain about ‘Ottawa insiders’
Really? Seriously? Jack Layton has a new attack ad accusing Ottawa insiders of “getting all the breaks?”
We’ll, I guess he should know. He and his wife, MP Olivia Chow, are among the ultimate Ottawa establishment couples.

Jeff Jedras: NDP ad gets its ‘Canadian seniors’ from Denmark
Getting into trouble with stock photos in political advertising is not new; it seems they just never learn. The latest offender is the NDP with the new ad campaign they launched today.
In a scene where they’re talking about seniors issues and family care (family care? there’s a good idea) they show Jack Layton with a senior and his family. Unfortunately it seems no Canadian seniors were available, so they turned to stock photography from a Danish photographer.
Here’s a scene from the NDP ad: Read More »

Australia: "Racist" Baa Baa Black Sheep put out to pasture
We read:
"Black sheep are on the endangered species list as some children in north Queensland learn to sing Baa Baa Rainbow Sheep.The English nursery rhyme may have survived for 200-plus years but political correctness could finally put it out to pasture. Some schools in Britain have banned the song for being racist, but Pelicans Innisfail Child Care allows children to sing about black sheep or rainbow sheep.
Director Pam McLaughlin said some teachers sang the changed lyrics, and some children already knew the changes. "We just go with whatever the children want," Ms McLaughlin said. "The kids are just singing and having fun. Some sing black sheep, some sing rainbow sheep. It's just a song. "We don't have anything that says, 'You have to sing it this way'."
Australian National University social psychologist Michael Platow said he doubted Baa Baa Black Sheep would teach racism. "I don't know why a child would associate a black sheep with a black man," he said.

...BUT human nature being what it is each of us interpret this credo in a multitude of ways. Take an extreme example: a nude women enters my bedroom through an open window, get's into bed with me and when I start to respond she says NO most feminists would say any further action on my part is a crime and the only recourse I would have is to charge the women with trespass but her defense would be the window was open therefore I was at fault.

Canadian Leftist Blindness on Display
This video from Michael Coren's show, courteously uploaded by Matt from Mississauga, is focused on recent happenings in America. Carefully listen to Toronto Newstalk 1010's Britt Aharoni and you will hear a deep seated antipathy, if not hatred, for U.S. conservatives and libertarians, that rivals another Big Smoke "journalist" named Heather Mallick. Ms. Aharoni is completely blind to anything untoward that might possibly come out of the mouths of someone on the Left side of the political spectrum.
Do you think Bob Rae's recent comment about Jihadists working in PM Harper's office offended her? Unlikely. Do you think Mass. Representative Mike Capuano's recent calls for violence against Tea Party members gave her pause for thought? Unlikely. Do you think that the campaign of vilification against Jews raged by the man to her right, the despicable Sid Ryan, has kept her awake at night? Unlikely.
Ms. Aharoni is typical of the vast majority of members of Canada's Mainstream Media who deem themselves to be "liberals". In their newsrooms, cocktail parties, and other bubble chambers they repeatedly tell each other how righteous and free thinking and unbiased they are. The reality is far, far afield from such group think delusions. This is a huge reason why an ever increasing number of Canadians feel alienated from them and no longer take them seriously.
As 2011 unfolds and a possible federal election campaign transpires, keep very clear in your mind that Britt Aharoni and other close-minded clones like her are the ones filtering the "news" you'll be getting from Canada's MSM. The Truth Is Out There but it sure ain't comin' from them!

What Guarantees Were Made In Sale Of 407?
FP’s Lawrence Solomon: Transit competition
Subway stations should be sold separately to the highest bidder
Toronto Mayor Rob Ford wants a good deal for Toronto taxpayers, who lose $350-million a year subsidizing the Toronto Transit Commission, a good deal for the Toronto economy, which loses $50-million every day that TTC workers go on strike, and a good deal for Toronto transit riders, who face increasing fares and decreasing service.
Here’s a good deal. Sell the TTC monopoly for $500-million to a company that would, as a condition of sale, guarantee to freeze fares for 10 years, guarantee to expand the frequency of service, guarantee to increase the number of kilometres logged, and guarantee to continue existing routes.

FINALLY A Glimmer Of Hope For Ontario Voters...
Step 1: Hudak steps down and calls for one the elected conservatives to do so as well..
Step 2: Pressure McGoonty to Call An Immediate byelection.

John Ivison: Rocco Rossi’s political conversion hits Liberals where it hurts
Rocco Rossi clearly agrees with former British Labour leader Neil Kinnock’s belief that loyalty is a fine quality but, in excess, it fills political graveyards.
After all, this is the man who was the Liberal Party of Canada’s National Director; a man who claims Pierre Elliot Trudeau as his political hero and one who was instrumental in bringing Michael Ignatieff back to Canada. The former Toronto mayoral candidate has spent the past 30 years working on various Liberal campaigns and, until Tuesday, has never shown any love for the Conservatives. He even claimed John Tory made a mistake becoming leader of the Ontario PCs because “the Red Tory party that formed John doesn’t exist anymore.”
But while he believes it was the wrong party for Mr. Tory, he is less dogmatic when it comes to his own political leanings. Read More »

South Africa has been recently on edge as national hero and democratic revolutionary Nelson Mandela, now 92-years-old, has been hospitalized with a respiratory infection. But the party that he led to power after the fall of apatheid has not forgotten that they still must be working to improve the lives of the people:
The Associated Press reports:
South Africa’s governing party has pronounced: eating sushi off the body of a model in a bikini is politically incorrect.

Joe O’Connor: Toughen up Toronto. It’s winter. It snows
Oh my God. EVERYONE PANIC! Red alert! Red alert!
I am not really old enough to be a cranky old guy. I am not even old enough to say cranky old guy stuff, stuff like: back in my day we used to walk six miles to school, barefoot, in a blizzard, while being pursued by a pack of baying wolves.
I am, however, old enough to say that Canadians, at least Canadians living in Toronto and parts thereabouts, appear to have gotten soft when it comes to the snow. If you haven’t heard: a storm is heading straight for the centre of the universe. Environment Canada has labelled the system: “a near-blizzard.”
Not a full blizzard. Not even a big, bad, look-out-below blizzard, but a “near-blizzard.” Twenty centimetres of snow is expected to fall. How much is 20 cm? It’s the height of a beer bottle. (I know. I measured.) Or if you are reading this on the fly — it’s the height of your BlackBerry, times two. That is not a near-blizzard. It’s a Tuesday night in Calgary. Read More »

NO! Not if the individual meets the criteria; "something that deserves or justifies a reward or commendation; a commendable quality, act, etc." Not recognizing this quality leads to mediocrity.
