Ont. Tories trash Liberal promise-keeping record

toronto.ctv.ca

Conservative Leader John Tory launched an attack on Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty on Sunday, calling him the worst political promise-keeper in modern times.

Tory's comments were made during a press conference in Toronto, designed to highlight the pledge-keeping track record of the Ontario Liberals.

"Mr. McGuinty's track record in this regard has been pathetic,'' Tory said on Sunday.

"There has been no leader in modern times in politics in Canada, maybe even the world, I've suggested, who has this record of saying things.''

Is Success Really Changing Newfoundland?

I don't know but I heard something the other day that people are upset with being called Newfies with the connotation being similar to the other N..... word. So I am going to have to leave it to Rex to take us to where we're at.

So gloomy the future, it tears my Rock

I can't but be cheerful that the federal Liberals chose Newfoundland as the site of their strategy retreat this week. Newfoundland has problems that even the offshore oil and gas, whatever the scale and duration of their benefits, cannot cure. MORE...

Ontario Not Only Place Truckers Are Under Seige

Heartbreaking Country Ballad Paralyzes Trucking Industry

June 2, 2004 | Issue 40•22

NASHVILLE, TN—The interstate trucking industry, already beset with rising fuel prices and a shortage of qualified workers, was dealt another blow last month, with the release of the agonizingly sorrowful country ballad "She's Gone Back To What She Calls Home," by Cole Hardin.

Memphis-area traffic slows to a near-standstill as WGKX plays "She's Gone Back To What She Calls Home."

"At any given time, day or night, an estimated 45 percent of the nation's over-the-road truckers are idling on the shoulder, in waysides, or in truck-stop parking lots, listening to Mr. Hardin's ballad of infidelity, loss, and heartbreak," said Russell Knutson, a spokesman for trucking giant Schneider National. "There's been an alarming number of loads that don't make it to their destinations. And the ones that do make it are usually behind schedule, because they're being loaded, transported, and unloaded by crews brought low by the thought of a good-loving woman a man loves best packing everything up but her wedding dress and going back to the town she never should've left."

"'Scuse me a moment," Knutson said. "Sorry, but I must've gotten something in my eye just then."

COLE HARDIN - "Fenced In Heart"

Performance figures for the entire North American continent have suffered since the May 14 radio release of the "She's Gone Back" single, from the album Fenced In Heart. Last week, the Department of Transportation reported business volume down 60 percent, manifest damage up 9 percent, and worker productivity down across the board, as drivers complain of heartache, loneliness, and the she-ain't-never-comin'-back-again blues.

"This isn't an easy job, no sir," said Arrow Trucking Company driver Wayne Crudup, 33, of Lexington, KY. "Long hours, tougher regulations every year, and lots less money than you'd like. Now, on top of that, I can't stop thinking of how that lady left that little home and that poor guy all alone, all because his eye went wanderin' where it never shoulda been. The song starts going round and round in your head, and it gets a touch hard to see the road sometimes."

National Surface Transportation Board statistics have shown a clear link between the playing of "She's Gone Back" on public airwaves and lulls in the trucking industry. The effects are especially noticeable in the South and Midwest.

Columbus, OH trucker Rodney Schrag listens to Hardin's song on his truck's radio.

"Unfortunately, country-radio stations nationwide have 'She's Gone Back' in heavy rotation," NTSB spokesman Howard Stivoric said. "The steel guitar's wail invokes that cold, hard, lonely road she's taking back to where her heart'll stop breaking, and, well, that makes anyone who hears it want to turn right around and get on back to where they came from. For a country that transports 85 percent of its perishable goods by truck, a heartbreaking ballad like this one is bad news."

Due to the song's popularity, the average trucker is spending as many as three hours per day sitting motionless in the breakdown lane. Travelers on the nation's highways are growing accustomed to seeing dozens of semis pull over to the side of the road whenever the song is played.

"We're especially worried about routes through trucking's Golden Triangle: Atlanta, Memphis, and Nashville," National Highway Traffic Safety administrator Dr. Jeff Runge said. "The high volume of country stations in that area, many of which confess to playing the song almost hourly, has created a depression hot-spot. Almost nothing's getting into or out of that area."

Fearing for the financial and emotional safety of their workers, industry leaders have asked President Bush and the FCC to remove the song from the airwaves, as President Carter did during the "He Stopped Loving Her Today" crisis of 1980.

Hardin, the singer responsible for the problem, was unavailable for comment, as he is currently in his hometown of Green Hills, SC, caring for his dying mother and writing "She Taught Me How To Love," a tribute to her 46 years of service as a devoted wife and parent.

Comrade Miller's Fiscal Ineptness Evident During Campaign

City Hall: Shaun Bruce beats the Mayor
April 20th, 2007
Dale Duncan

Remember Shaun Bruce, the University of Guelph-Humber student who ran for Mayor in the last election? Turns out, he actually beat David Miller –- in effective spending. Writes John Spears in the Toronto Star:

The students [who ran Bruce’s campaign] parlayed a budget of a little more than $3,000 into a campaign that got them wide media coverage and won 2,820 votes for Shaun Bruce.

The mayor spent $1.1 million to garner 332,969 votes, more than $3 spent for each vote he received. Bruce’s frugal campaign reaped nearly one vote for each dollar spent – three times as effective as Miller.

The thought of a Miller-sized budget still dazzles Daniella Cross, one of the campaign co-chairs. “Imagine what we could have done with $1 million,” she said.

The Massengill Club Comes Out Swinging

Zerbisias is partially correct and the fact that Rosie asked the questions from both her faces might be irrelevant and as far as her antics on The View she has conned the Sisterhood into supporting her in the campaign to get a show of her own that will compete with shows that appeal to white trailer trash.

Rosie got boot because she dared to ask tough questions
May 01, 2007
Antonia Zerbisias

Last Wednesday, in the immediate aftermath of the announcement that dominated the American news agenda and cycle for days, CNN's Larry King was in hot pursuit of the story.

Rude, lewd, crude Rosie O'Donnell was leaving ABC's daytime talk show The View.

Naturally, King was obligated to seek out The Combover Which Talks, Donald Trump.

"She's a disgusting person," said Trump, who has been trading insults with O'Donnell since January. "She's a slob."

Then he called for censorship.

"Sadly, after the Don Imus thing, people are going to have to be, I guess, more careful as to what they're saying," he said, as if the former MSNBC morning man's racist, sexist "nappy-headed hos'' line equals grabbing your crotch and saying "Eat me'' to The Ego Who Walks.

Insisting that O'Donnell had been fired instead of being unable to come to a contract agreement, Trump said O'Donnell was an `'embarrassment to this country.'' That's because she had latched on to the growing "9/11 Truth Movement," which dismisses the official story about the 2001 terrorist attacks.

Considering her controversial year on The View, it's interesting that O'Donnell came to the end of the line just as she was demanding answers to questions that millions are now asking.

For that, the full might of Fox News rose up to smite her. Those who had bought and sold the WMDs fairy tale attacked O'Donnell for daring to question the generally accepted explanation for the collapse of the World Trade Center.

"In America, we are fed propaganda and if you want to know what's happening in the world, go outside of the U.S. media because it's owned by four corporations. One of them is this one (ABC)," O'Donnell said in March, reaching an audience at least 15 times that of Fox News.

That's dangerous stuff. More dangerous than taking on Trump, who was followed on CNN by another outsized, outrageous woman: Roseanne Barr, also known for her crotch-grabbing and blunt talk.

Unlike all the blond-trophy-second-wife types flanking old men co-hosts all over the TV grid, neither Barr nor O'Donnell shut up and look pretty.

Not a single mainstream media news show is hosted by a woman who is aggressive and candid, the way that Bill O'Reilly or Joe Scarborough are on Fox or Keith Olbermann on MSNBC. There is no female David Letterman, Jay Leno, Jimmy Kimmel or Bill Maher.

Oprah Winfrey, as revealed on Bill Moyers' outstanding post-mortem on the pre-Iraq media last week, shut up audience members who questioned the Bushies. Ellen DeGeneres hasn't uttered a controversial word since she yelled, "I'm gay! `' on her sitcom 10 years ago.

Has no network found the courage to offer, say, Sarah Silverman or Janeane Garofalo a platform? Or will O'Donnell's replacement be Red State straight?

Home Grown Terrorism

Leader defies court order
April 21, 2007
Stan Josey
Special to the Star

DESERONTO, Ont.–Indian protesters vowed to keep the main CN rail line between Toronto and Montreal closed for another day despite a court injunction and a personal plea from OPP Commissioner Julian Fantino to end the blockade.

The tense situation also prompted Premier Dalton McGuinty to urge the federal government to intervene at the "earliest possible opportunity," to help resolve issues underlying the blockade.

About 3,500 Via Rail passengers were left scrambling for scarce bus seats and other modes of transportation on the first nice weekend of spring when a group of Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte shut down the rail line at midnight Thursday in this community just east of Belleville.

They parked a converted school bus camper on the tracks and built a bonfire nearby as part of a rotating, escalating campaign to resolve a land claim issue the Indians say has been festering for 170 years.

Almost exactly a year ago, the same group of Mohawks led by Shawn Brant erected a blockade using bonfires and old school buses that disrupted rail traffic from Toronto to Montreal in solidarity with land-claim protesters in Caledonia.

For the past month the band members have maintained barricades around a stone quarry just west of Deseronto, which they claim is on land that is part of their reserve. A developer plans to build condominiums using material from the quarry.

When the province failed to move quickly to cancel the quarry license this week, a group of individuals, acting in concert, decided to take the next step by imposing "economic sanctions". Brant said his group would not comply with a court order obtained by CN in Toronto court yesterday ordering the rail blockade removed.

The World Will End On (Add A Date)!

It would seem that we are so wrapped up in the Baskin Robbins disaster of the day, Global Warming, with "valid arguments" from both sides that we forget past predictions of the "end of the world." Todays hysteria about the environment is being viewed by many as another chapter in The Boy Who Cried Wolf fable.

Why Politicized Science is Dangerous
Contributed by: rearguard
(Excerpted from State of Fear)

Imagine that there is a new scientific theory that warns of an impending crisis, and points to a way out.

This theory quickly draws support from leading scientists, politicians and celebrities around the world. Research is funded by distinguished philanthropies, and carried out at prestigious universities. The crisis is reported frequently in the media. The science is taught in college and high school classrooms.

I don't mean global warming. I'm talking about another theory, which rose to prominence a century ago.

SALIM MANSUR Hits Nail Right On The Head

Iran finds weak West

The hostage taking of British sailors by Tehran was a move to test the resolve of Britain and its allies in responding to provocation bordering on an act of war.

Iran - What Were They Up To?

Good question. Ken Timmerman;

The announcement Wednesday by Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad that his government would release the 15 captured British sailors and marines came after an intense and often bitter internal debate, sources in Tehran told NewsMax.

The capture of the British naval inspection team was clearly a coordinated effort by the Iranian government aimed at demonstrating Iran's ability to confront the U.S.-led multinational forces in Iraq and to divert international attention from the nuclear showdown. The decision to release the hostages showed the limits of Iran's power and the fears of some leaders that too much provocation could backfire.

[...]

Khamenei's top advisers argued that by striking out against a U.S. ally in Iraq, they would be sending a message to other European nations to step back from supporting the U.S. strategy of increasing pressure on Iran over its nuclear program. They saw the move as a clear test of Western resolve.

But as Britain refused to apologize for the behavior of its boarding party, continuing to insist that they were operating in Iraqi waters – not inside Iran's territorial waters, as Tehran alleged – some of Khamenei's advisers began to have second thoughts.

Adding to those doubts were reports that the USS Nimitz was steaming toward the Persian Gulf – making it the third Carrier Strike Group in the area.


Victor Davis Hanson, on the popular theory that Iran was looking for a shooting war;

What should we make of the Iranians’ behavior?

Namely that the country’s leadership is in deep political trouble. The Iranian government is desperate to provoke the West to win back friends in the Islamic world, and to quell growing unrest at home. Subsidizing food and gas, providing billions for terrorists and building nukes all cost money at a time when the state-run Iranian economy is in shambles.

Because of incompetence in their oil industry, the Iranian mullahs have achieved the impossible: Despite having among the world’s largest petroleum reserves, their production is shrinking and they have managed to earn increasingly less petrodollars even as the world price has soared.

Robert Mayer thinks it was an exercise in image rehabilitation. "See? These Holocaust deniers aren't such bad guys, after all."

There is no way to know what the now-released British sailors will say once they've been debriefed. But one thing is certain -- they will be the most sought after people in the media. Iran knows this. Do not be surprised if they tell all of Britain that they were not tortured, forced to confess, and kept in a jail cell. Do not be surprised if they tell us that they were treated with respect, fed well, and allowed to play games. Do not be surprised if they say that they freely confessed to crossing into Iranian territorial waters after being told that there is no clear agreement specifying the border. And last, do not be surprised if they think that Ahmadinejad is a pretty swell guy after they met with him.

Not An Option In Toronto

Most the hotel properties that would have been viable options have been gentrified and in the process some of the previous tenants have become homeless. We started lossing affordable accomodation back in Sewell's tenure on counsel when Cabbagetown began whitewashing the downtown area and more and more of the "middle class" opted out of the move to the suburbs. This, of course, might be a blessing in disguise when we look at the track record of Toronto managing property.

$80m rescue for tenants
15 low-rent buildings in Vancouver, Burnaby, Victoria

CREDIT: Arlen Redekop, The Province
The government's investment in affordable housing is 'a good-news story,' according to the Pivot Legal Society's David Eby, standing yesterday in front of the Marble Arch, one of 11 hotels purchased.

The B.C. government yesterday announced it's buying 11 low-income hotels, largely in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside, as part of an $80-million housing commitment.
The move means tenants, who generally have few other housing options, will be spared from eviction before the 2010 Olympics.
No plans have been finalized on the fate of bars and other businesses in the buildings. Purchase prices of individual buildings was not disclosed.
Buildings include the Marble Arch Hotel, St. Helen's Hotel and the Molson's Bank Building, adding 996 units of supportive housing in the Lower Mainland and Victoria. Another four buildings in Burnaby and Victoria are included.
But yesterday's announcement, at Salvation Army headquarters in Vancouver, came in the shadow of concerns about tenants being evicted from single-room-occupancy hotels in advance of the 2010 Games.
Premier Gordon Campbell did not dwell on that issue or on recent protests over homelessness.
Instead, Campbell cast the news as part of a housing strategy he linked to a tripling of social-housing spending to $328 million this year from 2001. He described the purchase as "the largest single investment in this critical type of housing stock ever."
Campbell said no one will be evicted in the transition to provincial ownership.
"Some of [the buildings] are in pretty good shape. Some of them need to have work done on them," Campbell told reporters.
He also promised additional measures, declaring "this is not the end of this."
Four buildings in Burnaby and Victoria will be converted into supportive housing that mixes support services with housing, allowing people to move from temporary shelter into secure housing.
The province is also funding 287 additional new supportive housing units in Vancouver on three city-owned sites.
The province will seek out non-profit groups to run the hotels and offer support programs for tenants.
"When people come and live there, they will have a chance to connect with the health-care providers and the social supports they need, and hopefully be able to make a transition into healthier housing in the long term for everyone," said Campbell.
Vancouver Mayor Sam Sullivan saluted the provincial effort, calling yesterday "the day we began to turn the tide on homelessness."
The city had been hoping to purchase some single-room-occupancy hotels, but at a much slower pace.
But NDP Leader Carole James said Campbell's plans fall short of addressing the homelessness crisis she accused the government of creating.
"City officials and Olympic planners have told Mr. Campbell that he needs to make a commitment to 3,200 new affordable housing units by 2010 to make a serious dent in the homelessness crisis," James said in a statement.
"But this plan announced today provides less than 300 new units."
The Liberal measures drew some measured praise from some observers as a badly needed measure to at least start to counter homelessness.
"[It's] a baby step in the right direction because it prevents these buildings from being closed in this huge speculative climate," said Jean Swanson, co-ordinator at the Carnegie Community Action Project, which works to develop better housing options for residents of the Downtown Eastside.

I Have Had The Same Thought

Not a day goes by that we don't hear of a massive effort being taken to find/rescue someone who chose to put themselves at risk and wasn't there a report in the last day or so about a death among a group of CARE volunteers.

Just wondering...

Everest on his mind
He's proof that you are never too old to reach for the sky.

At the age of 69, Werner Berger has done it six times already, scaling the highest summits on six of seven continents. And now only Mount Everest stands in his way of becoming the oldest North American to have summitted them all.

At an age when most are looking to perfect their golf game, the wiry business consultant with the boundless energy is working out six days a week and sleeping in a high altitude tent to prepare for his ultimate adventure. "I believe my age has nothing to do with my abilities. I don't even know what being 69 years old feels like."

Good for him. Grey power. Etc. Etc.

If a 69 year old man deliberately puts himself in danger, climbing a mountain that would be a threat to people half his age, thin oxygen, lack of services, etc. Why should my OHIP be used if he injures or damages himself on this climb? Shouldn't there be some type of responsibility involved when accepting social medicine plans? I'm sure he has travel insurance, but what type of lung and body damage will this climb do, that taxpayers will be on the hook for?

Just wonderin'

Is The EU With Us Or Against Us

You have to wonder when you continually read and hear about instances where the members of EU cave into the demands of terrorists....

European Socialism Is Supporting Islamo-fascism
A shared hatred of the modern world and civilisation.

Multi-culturalism leads ineluctably to the collapse of civilization. It divides up society into groups and protest fora. It destroys the majoritarian culture and intelligent political discourse. It excuses itself from the difficult tasks of building civilization. It acquiesces as political demagogues usurp more power and more money, to appease cultural and societal sensibilities. So it comes to pass that socialist sympathy allies itself with Islamo-fascism.

European Marxist, socialist movements and ideologies created various strains of fascism, communism and communal programs, designed to rid the world of decadent bourgeois liberalism.

The Story

The Hidden Premise of European Anti-Americanism
(James Lewis - The American Thinker)

If “one’s man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter,” then all wars are the same, liberation equals conquest, tyranny equals democracy, aggression equals defense, and Churchill equals Hitler.

That seems to be the hidden premise of European, and especially Franco-German cant against the American-British overthrow of Saddam. Because the truth is of course that George W. Bush’s decision to overthrow Saddam for fear that he was armed with WMDs, is a lineal descendant of FDR’s decision to come to the aid of Britain against Nazi Germany, Harry S. Truman’s decision to fight in Korea, and Woodrow Wilson’s decision to aid Western countries against Prussian militarism in World War I. The United States involved itself in these conflicts to prevent larger and terrible consequences for itself before being militarily attacked by Germany.

Eviction - A Terrifying Experience For Most People

Nothing frightens me more than the thought of being tossed out on the street because I cannot pay for shelter and that is why putting money aside for rent is my number one priority. I think most "small" landlords are in Catch 22 situation...it they don't get the rent money then they can't make the mortgage payments and now we have two parties out on the street. My sympathy for large developers is a little less but even they have people to whom they are responsible. I don't have an answer other than to suggest that governments at all levels need to look at there priorities and shelter and safety at home should top the list.

Eviction attempts at record level
March 5.

There is an ironic relationship between the ever-increasing volume of eviction applications and the legislation that makes it increasingly more difficult to obtain actual evictions:

The majority of eviction applications are to collect overdue rent.

Legislation has grown increasingly more permissive, making it possible for a tenant to avoid eviction by paying for the overdue rent at any time up to when the sheriff knocks at the door to evict them.

So how does this arrangement create evictions?

When finances are strained, tenants (like everyone else) prioritize expenses. If their credit card bill is not paid, they can't use it. If the car payment isn't paid, the vehicle with be repossessed within a couple of weeks.

But if the rent isn't paid, there's always another opportunity to make it up at some future point with few negative consequences, so not paying rent becomes last-resort bridge financing.

As more people fail to pay their rent, the number of eviction applications grow.

That backlogs the system as the number of hearings for those in arrears stacks up. Often tenants faced with the uncertainty of how the dispute will be resolved, stop paying rent once an application is filed.

By the time the hearing date arrives the overdue rent bill has become insurmountable, so moving somewhere else starts to look like a favourable alternative. On the other side of the equation, landlords faced with a longer and more arduous process are forced to trigger it earlier to secure their interests.

In a high-vacancy market, the eviction aspect of an application is a last-ditch alternative to the collection of rent.

Corner Gas Watch

Harper's visit pumps the Corner Gas finale
By BILL HARRIS, SUN MEDIA

The chorus to the Corner Gas theme song begins, "You think there's not a lot goin' on . . ."

Well, there's plenty goin' on in the season-ending episode that airs on CTV on Monday. And we aren't talking merely about the guest appearance by Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

So much is goin' on, in fact, that the basic premise of Corner Gas, if not its outright future, has been thrown into question.

Now, it would be going too far to conclude Corner Gas is finished. Loyal fans probably can quit hyperventilating, unless they're enjoying themselves. That said, when creator/star Brent Butt decides he's had enough, that'll be it.

For the time being, we're betting CTV is making it financially worthwhile for Butt to continue, given the fact Corner Gas is poised to deliver its 69th consecutive episode with a million-plus audience.

These are dire days in Dog River, though. Of the eight main characters on Corner Gas, seven on Monday's show will experience staggering changes, most of which relate to employment.

The one person whose situation doesn't really change -- Hank, as played by Fred Ewanuick -- is the unwitting cause of the turmoil.

Ultimately, Brent sells his gas station to the Pump N' Go conglomerate, and Lacey (Gabrielle Miller) moves back to Toronto. If this means Miller is leaving the show, maybe her character will get her own spinoff.

We suggested in a column last October that perhaps it was time to shake up the cast on Corner Gas.

This isn't just shaking, it's baking. Then again, maybe next season everything will be back to normal and one of the characters was merely having a dream.

Here's a serious plea, though: If next season begins with someone in the shower, a la Bobby Ewing in Dallas, please let it be Miller and not Butt. As for Harper's performance, heck, he fits right in. After all, part of the shtick on Corner Gas is that it's a little dry and a little stiff.

We will say this, however, without a hint of sarcasm: We are very glad to live in a country where our prime minister can go on a show like Corner Gas and poke fun at himself.

Corner Gas has miles to go
Butt denies show finished after four seasons

WINNIPEG - Rumours that Brent Butt is calling it quits with Corner Gas are all fumes, says his Vancouver agent.

Get Pumped About Corner Gas, Again
March 07, 2007

She was a little bit surprised to hear herself -- that CTV's hit series "Corner Gas" was all done... for good.

But, the executive producer of the show, Virginia Thompson, tells News Talk Radio that is not the case, for the next season any way. A report surfaced Tuesday afternoon, indicating that the Monday episode would be the last one. It is, actually, for the season -- and, Thompson does confirm that the surprising events reported will happen. That means "Brent" will be closing up his station, and "Lacy" will be selling The Ruby and moving back to Toronto to open another restaurant.

But, while the suspense builds for the coming season, Thompson stops just short of saying it will, for sure, be back beyond that.

Meantime, she says there will be some big announcements made next week in CTV's alate of production. But, just what they are, she can't say exactly at this point.

One thing is for sure, Saskatchewanians will miss the comedy if it ever did go the way of the dinosaur. An overwhelming majority of callers to John Gormley Live, Wednesday, said they would be saddened if the series ended.
