WE'RE NOT EVEN CLOSE TO GETTING A "DRIBBLE!"


ULTIMATE HYPOCRISY...


Is there no one, including the Basketball Commisioner, who has NOT uttered something "racist" in private or in public, especially at coffee klatches at Timmies, Starbucks, etc.

Clippers owner Donald Sterling banned for life from NBA, fined $2.5 million by NBA

The NBA threw the book at LA Clippers owner Donald Sterling, banning him for life, fining him $2.5 million and raising the possibility of a forced sale of the team over racist remarks he allegedly made to an ex-girlfriend that surfaced on a tape recording.

Don't Be Paranoid

They're just out to get you.
What was once largely the domain of far-away UN conferences and obscure academic journals has now made its way to Main Street. Planning commissions, which have spread like wildfire over the past couple of decades and whose members are unelected, produce an endless array of schemes designed to micro-manage every aspect of commercial, residential, and recreational life. No town, no matter how small, is safe from the meddling of planners in and outside of government.

THE QUESTION IS...

A trauma recovery centre in Cambodia helps girls recover from abuse suffered in the sex trade.
 
For young girls rescued from working at Southeast Asian brothels, the road to recovery is challenging.
Shame, trauma and a lack of direction are common barriers to reintegrating into a normal life.
World Vision opened up the Trauma Recovery Centre in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, in the late 1990s to address some of these issues.

Olivia Chow has the douchebag vote sewn up... George Smitherman

This election is even more important than the one in 2010 because we all know the risk. I mean that. I don’t want my city known around the world for all the wrong reasons. And I really don’t want my kids growing up in a city where I wouldn't let the mayor babysit them!

We can’t have another four years of Rob Ford. And there’s only one person who can stop him.

But he’s not going to go away without a fight. He’ll try to outspend everyone, even if that means ‘stretching’ the rules like last time.

Don’t let him win the financial fight. Click here and give today to help Olivia become the mayor our city deserves.

Ban on Christian values

First posted:
Until the 1940s, Jews were banned from the professions in Canada. Not completely banned – that would be unseemly. But universities like McGill had quotas.

 And once those few Jewish students graduated, they were blacklisted by many law firms and hospitals. It’s the reason why so many cities have Mount Sinai hospitals today. Those are the hospitals the Jewish doctors themselves set up, when the establishment wouldn’t hire them. 

That was so long ago, wasn’t it? The professions aren’t bigoted like that anymore. If you doubt it, look at the recent election in Quebec. The proposed Charter of Values attempted to limit ostentatious religious symbols – like a Muslim veil or a Sikh turban – worn by government employees. The Parti Quebecois that proposed this ban was given a thrashing.

Chairman Chow Throws Her Lot In With Vicious Homophobe Iron Sheik!

 

"He is viciously homophobic – and I don’t mean it in the sense of the lame accusation thrown at anybody who disagrees with the homosexual lifestyle. The Sheik throws the gay insults to belittle and humiliate his rivals. For example, he says with contempt that Hulk Hogan is gay and he made his career wrestling in gay bars. Also, according to him, Michael Jackson was a higher-class gay, because he liked little boys."


Chow's gonna need career counselling after this...

THE REAL WORLD...



ANOTHER FOUR LETTER WORD USED IN AN INDISCRIMINATE MANNER...

  ...the other is FUCK!

"Hate speech" and hate-crime

Leftists routinely claim that hate speech leads to hate crime -- but never offer any proof of that assertion.  It is clear why they do not.  Because it is false.  By Leftists' own definition, conservatives are constantly guilty of hate speech but where is the conservative who has committed a hate crime?  There is none.  Clearly, hate speech does NOT lead to hate crime. 

Crashingly obvious though that is, however, it is not obvious to Leftists.  10,000 instances of hate speech lead to 0 hate crimes?  Leftists can see nothing to learn from that.  Even if the ratio were 10,000 to 10, there would be 9,990 instances of hate speech that did not lead to hate crimes -- again busting the relationship that Leftists so boldly assert.

Stories are more persuasive than statistics, however, so let me mention one.

Richard Wagner is one of history's most noted antisemites.  He was one of Hitler's heroes.  Yet in his personal life Wagner was exceptionally kind and supportive to the Jews around him -- and they often cared strongly for him.  In behaviour he was a model PHILO-Semite.  So racist words did certainly not lead to race-crimes in his case.

I put the whole story up last year, which please see.

What I conclude is that it is only behaviour that matters. Words are just not useful as predictors of evil deeds.  So it is only a person who does actual harm to another person solely because of that person's race who is a real racist.  It is deeds, not words, that count. 

JOHN RAY PUTS CANADA UNDER MICROSCOPE...

Authoritarian Canada again

Americans for Truth About Homosexuality founder Peter LaBarbera has returned to the U.S. from Canada, where he experienced the ramifications of that country's hate speech law – firsthand.

LaBarbera traveled to Saskatchewan last week for a speech before a pro-life group, but was detained at Regina International Airport and told he would be deported from Canada on the basis of violating the country's hate speech law, although he had yet to speak.

LaBarbera, Peter"Which is incredible," he tells OneNewsNow. "We appealed the decision and some political pressure was brought to bear by conservative members of Parliament; and when I went back for my appeal, they let me in [the country] – but I was very close to being banned from Canada under the guise that my group ... promotes hate against homosexuals."

He was released, then made his speech, but later was arrested at the University of Regina while distributing pro-life pamphlets and information on homosexuality. LaBarbera wasn't accused of violating the hate speech law in that matter, but was charged with trespassing – a charge that later was reduced to mischief.

"So what I witnessed was a firsthand lesson in hate-speech politics," he summarizes. "If you say that certain ideas – for example, opposition to homosexuality – are 'hateful,' then the next step is to ban those points of view. And that's what's going on in Canada."

Hudak fighting two NDP parties

Ontario Progressive Conservative Leader Tim Hudak says he’ll be fighting two NDP leaders in the next election — Andrea Horwath and Kathleen Wynne.
 

IF WE DON'T SEND HORWATH/WYNNER LOOKING FOR JOBS YOU ARE GOING TO SEE MORE AND MORE OF THE FOLLOWING:

 
While Horwath is the real NDP leader and Wynne the Liberal premier, in terms of realpolitik — practical politics — Hudak’s right.


No secret here, despite a recent poll showing Hudak within striking distance of a majority that outcome remains an unlikely possibility. Our predatory public service unions will dictate another Liberal NDP minority.

TORONTO -- A First Nations police chief, fired without a hearing for branding Ontario's provincial police force and the RCMP as racist, takes his case against former OPP commissioner Julian Fantino to court Monday.
In his application, Lawrence Hay is calling on Divisional Court to quash a human rights tribunal ruling that his axing had nothing to do with his aboriginal status.

CTV;
Three years ago, flooding forced hundreds of residents from their homes on Manitoba's Lake St. Martin First Nation reserve.
The reserve was condemned, dozens of houses slated for demolition, and many residents have been living in hotels ever since.
Ottawa paid nearly $2 million to destroy the homes. But CTV has learned that as many as 40 of the buildings were lifted from their foundations, moved elsewhere and sold for about $20,000 each.
In some cases, the sold homes still contained their former residents' belongings.

"That buyer told me he bought it from the Lake St. Martin chief," Beardy said. "He admitted he bought it from Lake St. Martin chief, but he wouldn't tell us how much and who pocketed the money."
