Barbara Kay: Israel, Nipissing, Mike Harris; it’s all the same to vengeful leftwingers

By Barbara Kay  June 11, 2010 – 12:13 pm

My latest column took a lighthearted look at honorary doctorates and included several instances in which they have become a magnet for any number of aggrieved politicized filings. Canada has seen its fair share of controversy in such matters (see under Henry Morgentaler, UWO and Somerville, Ryerson). This month’s University of Nipissing’s honorary doctorate to former Ontario premier Mike Harris for his contributions to politics and business has certified him as a member of that special club.
You read all about it in these pages yesterday in Matt Gurney’s blistering rebuke to the Ontario Teachers’ Federation (OTF) and the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario (ETFO). With hostility rivaling al Qaeda’s grudge against crusader Richard the Lionheart, both are still brooding over Harris’ failure to genuflect to their union demands while he was premier (1995-2002). They couldn’t stand the thought of someone they really, really hate receiving any recognition for anything – even for objective, irrefutable accomplishments that have nothing to do with their own grievances.

The Fish Smells At The Head

What’s missing from the New York Times coverage of ACORN

By Michelle Malkin • September 16, 2009 12:09 AM

The Fishwrap of Record has finally seen fit to tell its readers about the latest ACORN scandals (the San Bernardino tapes, which don’t get a mention, are beyond belief). True to form, the New York Times commits grievous sins of omission that whitewash the paper’s own role in deliberately covering up ACORN’s illicit activities before Election Day last November.

UN women's agency blocked by Cuba and anti-women Islamic countries

Posted: September 13, 2009, 1:55 PM by NP Editor

Where is the outcry among fans of the UN to the clear anti-woman bias this represents? Both the Liberals and (especially) the NDP continue to argue that Canada should team frequently with the UN in pursuing a multilateral approach to foreign policy. Jack Layton's position on Afghanistan consists largely of relying on the UN to handle difficult details while Canada recalls its troops and puts a priority on unspecified "peacekeeping" duties.

But, as Steve Edwards reports below, the UN can't even bring itself to stand up to four countries that oppose creation of a super-agency to focus on promoting the rights of women. The dissenters? Sudan, Iran, Cuba and Egypt.

The Chutzpah of the Town Hall Libel (2)

August - 9 - 2009 Reporter: Jack 5 Responses

Democrat bigwigs and their media shills have concocted a libelous narrative of the town hall phenomenon that has shaken up the party’s health care plans. They meet the classic definition of Chutzpah, as explained by Leo Rosten in the Joy of Yiddish:
Gall, brazen nerve, effrontery, incredible “guts”; presumption plus arrogance such as no other word, [...]
