Baiting the Left

Scramble their Brains (more likely Fire and Forget)
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.
2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it!
5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation

On the air: SUN NEWS granted licence


By QMI Agency

The line for shuddering and moaning on the political left forms here.


Sun TV News, Quebecor's all-news network, has been approved by Canada's broadcast regulator.

The CRTC announced on Friday that it has granted the forthcoming national news service approval to broadcast as an English-language, Category 2, specialty TV channel.
In its statement, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission reiterated "the importance of maintaining and enhancing the plurality of editorial voices in local and national markets and ensuring that Canadians are exposed to an appropriate plurality of those voices."

"The licensing of additional competitive mainstream national news services is one means of achieving this objective," the CRTC statement added.

The CRTC's list of Category 2 specialty channels is wide-ranging and includes services such as Animal Planet, National Geographic Channel, the NHL Network, GameTV and Nikelodeon.
"Today marks the dawn of a new era for Canadian news media," Quebecor Media president and CEO Pierre Karl Péladeau said in a statement reacting to the CRTC announcement.

"[Sun TV News] will aim to challenge conventional wisdom and offer Canadians a new choice and a new voice on TV."

Run by Quebecor's TVA Group and Sun Media divisions, the new right-leaning network will replace the over-the-air Sun TV station in Toronto and have its headquarters there.

'Hard news and straight talk'

Since Péladeau unveiled plans for the network in June, its motto has been "hard news and straight talk." Some in the industry have dubbed the service "Fox News North" — a label Sun TV News officials have rejected.

Quebecor had initially sought Category 1 status, which would guarantee it a place among the default channels for all cable subscribers, like news rivals such as CBC News Network and CTV News Channel.

However, the CRTC is not considering new tier-one broadcast licences until October 2011, following the switchover of all Canadian TV signals from over-the-air to digital.

The media company subsequently requested a must-carry exemption for its Category 2 licence bid. The request was to be the subject of a public hearing scheduled this month, but Quebecor announced it was dropping the must-carry bid in October.

In recent months, Sun TV News has announced a number of high-profile hirings, including former CBC journalist Krista Erickson, commentator and broadcaster Charles Adler, veteran journalist David Akin, radio broadcaster Brian Lilley and columnist Ezra Levant.
The network is expected to take to the airwaves in spring 2011.

Putting TSA Pat Downs In Perspective...

The Human Factor

Jeff Dunetz;

When my family entered the El Al terminal at Newark Airport, we were met by someone who asked where we came from and where were going. When we got into the terminal and on the line to check in, an El Al employee asked my 12 year old son (out of my ear’s range) why we were going to Israel. He asked if we were Jewish and when my son answered yes, so followed up by asking the name of our Synagogue and our Rabbi’s name. But while he was asking questions I could feel his eyes gauging my reaction to our kid’s interrogation. The “interrogation” took no longer than thirty seconds. When he was done with my son, he came to me and asked the same questions (plus the typical who packed your luggage-type queries) once again gauging my reaction very closely.

Like the Mossad, tank drivers, and air force pilots, Israeli airport security have that super hero, no-nonsense, get to the point directness and efficiency. “Who packed your bags?” “What was your bar mitzah portion?” “Why are you even here visiting?” This quick-fire interrogation was not bothersome but reassuring. We got the feeling that we were dealing with people who knew what they were doing.

When Will Leftists Take A Share Of The Blame...

...and publicly name and condemn the anarchists, social in-activists, punks. and the gawkers that led to confrontations with police. There is no question that some people were taken into custody under questionable circumstances but it makes me think of the "when you are up to your ass in alligators there aren't many choices."

Canada's youth hope for the best

With the G20 coming to Toronto, we as Torontonians have been put in an uncomfortable situation.
A delicate situation.
A situation which raises the question of national security.
When Canada became a part of the Group of Eight, it agreed to one obligation; Canada must host the G8 Summit when the time came. This is our time. And the decision was made to host it in Toronto.
As per tradition, this year’s G8 and now G20 Summit will bring in protestors by the thousands. Protestors pose a major threat to the established security system in Toronto, dedicating focused time to finding just one minor crack in security, and breaking it open until it has become a gaping hole; a breach in security.
The G20 Summit approaches threateningly. It mocks our capacity for national security, stimulating the stretch of one’s imagination to find ways for our security protection to go wrong. And the thought occurs; will there be terrorism? Will innocent lives be lost?
The answer lies in the hands of those whose duty it is to serve and protect— the police force. The G20 presents a strain on its resources; however precaution upon precaution is being taken to ensure the safety of the city. What with the no- fly zone being put up surrounding Toronto’s most vulnerable structure to terrorism— the CN Tower, and security fences being erected around buildings which will be amidst the epicenter of the protests, Toronto can only wait and hope that these protestors will decide to behave more civilly than usual.
But will they? Probably not. On record, the G20 Summit is one of the most controversial conferences to this day. And this can hardly be avoided with the topics being discussed there. Financial matters? Economic matters? These are undoubtedly among the most controversial matters debated upon in Canadian Parliament today, in the discussion of issues like welfare, taxes— issues, really, that force one to take a side on, and therefore issues which can only be settled to the dissatisfaction of many.
With all this danger, however, comes a well- intended occasion during which leaders of the world collaborate and strive to make the planet a better place. And in recognition of all the effort going into Toronto’s safety and preservation during the 2010 G20 Summit, one can only hope that the event proves worthwhile…
