PASS THE CUP AROUND YOUR LOCAL TIMMIES/STARBUSKS, ET AL
StopARocket raised 20% of its goal in just its first 24 hours
StopARocket.ca is an ingenious (Canadian!) campaign:
Even if you can't afford to give, you can help by passing the StopARocket.ca information to your friends.
According to one CNN report, each Iron Dome anti-missile costs about US$62,000. What would happen if hundreds -- maybe even thousands -- of people around the world chipped in a few dollars here and there, and then we sent a cheque to the Government of Israel to buy more Iron Dome anti-missiles? Of course, we couldn't actually buy an Iron Dome anti-missile. But we could donate the exact amount of money to the Israeli government, and ask them to put it towards that defensive system, or any other civilian defence project in affected parts of Israel.
It wouldn't be for an offensive weapon. You can't use the Iron Dome to attack anyone. It's 100% defensive -- like a bulletproof vest. It only saves lives. And it doesn't discriminate -- it protects Jewish, Muslim and Christian Israelis all the same.
Let's do it -- let's crowd fund this project, to save lives!

WANDERING IN THE TORONTO WILDERNESS...
A Preview of Toronto's Mayoral Election Campaign
Mark October 27th on your calendar. It's the date of the 2014 Toronto Mayoral Election.
The next 86 days leading up to this will provide a textbook example of
how a cabal of Left-of-Centre latte sipping talking heads in the Media
Party will say anything in an attempt to destroy Rob Ford.
Facts won't matter. Fairness won't matter. The only thing that's
relevant to these ideologues is to push over the finish line one of
their "tax" or "tax even more" candidates.
Case in point is one Edward Keenan, who recently wrote this:
WLest anyone has forgotten, here is one of the "star" candidates of the Toronto Media Party.
Case in point is one Edward Keenan, who recently wrote this:
"Is he shameless, or ignorant?"Keenan is a columnist, not a reporter, so he can opine in any way he wishes. However, given how the proverbial heads of these media pundits are likely to explode should Ford be victorious again, that should be sufficient reason alone for many Torontonians to vote for him!
Well, that's the question once you disregard the carnival funhouse of mayoral misfortune. When you gaze upon the profound lunacy of the crack smoking on video and the police investigation and the blitz tackling of a fellow councillor and the bragging about the all-you-can-eat buffet of marital bliss in his home, and so on and so forth, the only sane question to ask is: What! The! Hell!?! But if you put those sideshows aside, and focus on his "record" as he's always asking us to do, then you're left to ponder either the soaring heights of his shameless dishonesty or the bedrock-cracking depths of his ignorance.

NOT PARENTING...
...but rather early stage "brain washing!" What next? Government run holiday camps?
Nanny state overreaction
It seems the trend these days is for parents to completely micromanage their children’s lives. Everything has to be supervised. Every minute of play must be pre-planned.
It’s like children have lost one of the joys of being a child: The freedom to explore and play.

Jeffrey Simpson's Foreign Policy Tantrum
Urban Ontario's Poster Boy, Jeffrey Simpson, isn't very
happy with Stephen Harper and John Baird these days. He's incredibly
annoyed they're standing up against Hamas and Putin ... or something like that:
Lo and behold, Simpson is a Canadian pundit without principles. In other words, a perfect Liberal!
This new diplomacy is supposed to be based on "principles," the accusation being that previous Canadian foreign policy was not. Rather, foreign policy had been based, Conservatives like to say, on "go along to get along," or a lot of mushy pronouncements lacking purpose or direction, especially the full-throttle defence of Canada's "interests."
Lo and behold, Simpson is a Canadian pundit without principles. In other words, a perfect Liberal!
