We Are the Beaver!

... or are we the Polar Bear?

 

Conservative Senator Nicole Eaton thinks we should get rid of the "dentally defective" beaver -- a "19th century has-been" and chose the "strength, courage, resourcefulnes and dignity" in favour of our current lowly national symbol, the beaver.

This is the ctv version in case anyone thinks it's a leftie plot to ridicule someone who draws a salary of about $250000 a year to come up with this stuff.

Sunday's coming.....

In a speech today, Mr. Romney, leading candidate for the Republican leadership announced that God wants the US to rule the world. He proposes to dramatically increase the "defence" budget, and cut social assistance.

Canada, as titular leader of the NATO bombing, has almost finished its work in Libya, almost certainly having killed tens of thousands of civilians. (You can't bomb cities without doing that.)

Libya and the future of Canada

we have now passed the point of  no return. And the parliamentary support for it came from all parties.  We are now committed to a war which has no relation whatever to any Canadian need. We are in a war that nobody has a reason for. There has been no serious discussion of it - and very little public information. We are committed to a war in Libya which will serve as the precedent for many more such wars to come.

When the student is ready, the Master reveals himself.

 Well I have recently met probably the most amazing person ever.  His name is Feroz and he is a Muslim.  He lives in my town.  He isn't just any Muslim though, he is one of the most learned Muslims...like...ever.  He has permission from all 7 of the major Sufi orders to teach their ways (he is one of only 2 people  in the past half century to achieve this), he has worked with the Prime Minister, done Akido training for CSIS, and has an incredible intellect.
