Angry in the Great White North

Prorogation makes sense

Until we have an elected Senate, prorogation is the only mechanism by which we can reconstitute the upper house.

Doesn't that work in favour of democracy?

Climate alarmists blame Canada for not being a bridge...that goes nowhere

In the run-up to the Copenhagen silliness, where megatonnes of greenhouse gases were emitted so that world leaders could meet to complain about megatonnes of greenhouse gas emissions, and then agree to do nothing about it, Canada was consistently being beaten up by the climate alarmists as abandoning its role as a facilitator for these sorts of efforts.

With 20/20 hindsight, we can see that there was nothing to facilitate.  Indeed, the signs all pointed to Copenhagen being a bust, but now that the absurdity of it all is in the past, we can talk specifics about the role Canada would never have played.

How far will climate alarmists go in turning their back on democracy?

That climate alarmists have enjoyed remarkable popular support in recent years is undeniable.  The alarmists have used that support to put pressure on democratic institutions to push for policies promoting the economic destruction of the West.  But as people have begin to grow skeptical, not just of the prescribed solutions, but of the fundamental arguments of the climate alarmists, I expect the alarmists to shift their efforts away from working through democratic institutions, and towards demonizing and dehumanizing skeptics, followed by violent direct action aimed at them.

That process has already begun.

Kill him. Kill him dead.

Give it a rest, I hear from Liberals and their friends and apologists. 

Stop going on about the photo of Stephen Harper being assassinated being posted on the Liberal Party website, I am told. 

It was just an isolated incident, or so the assurance is made.

They apologized.

Really?  I have three words for you:

Kill...him...dead.

A sick Liberal Party, and the people who protect it

Jeff Jedras claims that I am feigning outrage at the Liberal Party posting an image of Stephen Harper being murdered.

He is a presumptuous prat to make any declaration on the sincerity of my emotions.

He is also a blind fool because he totally misses the point.  Or maybe he is no fool -- which is even more disturbing.

The assassination of Stephen Harper and what it means to be progressive

Progressive Canadians see Stephen Harper, and indulge in daydreams of death and murder and mayhem.

The Solution for Michael Ignatieff: A Leadership Endorsement Ballot

The Liberal Party has a serious problem.  From Janine Krieber's Facebook rant to Denis Coderre's brutal resignation to Angelo Persichilli's jaw-dropping column, there is an assumption forming that Michael Ignatieff is party leader in name only.

The noise caused by this is keeping the Liberals from communicating effectively.

The party ought to consider calling an extraordinary convention for the sole purpose of holding a leadership endorsement ballot.  Based on my reading of the party constitution, this would be allowed.

One way or another, the leadership question would be put to rest.

Twelve more days...then peace and quiet from the climate alarmists (Not!)

If there is one thing I would wish for from Santa this year, it would be that climate alarmists would be serious when they declare such-and-such a time to be the "last chance" for a solution to the mythical notion of man-made climate change.

Replacing Michael Ignatieff just makes sense

Today we are treated to a journalist-said-politician-said controversy.  On the one hand, Angelo Persichilli writing for The Toronto Star lays out the details, including names and timelines, of a plot to remove Michael Ignatieff as leader of the Liberal Party.

Liberal MP Glen Pearson, writing in his blog, categorically denies the plot.  Pearson is named as one of the conspirators.

I tend to believe Persichilli, and the reason is simple.  It just makes sense.

Good news is bad news for those suffering from mad-climatologist disease

Good news, everyone!  Apparently, global warming isn't happening.

So why are climatologists sad?

Good news means happiness, except for these people.  It's like their brains don't work right.  I think that's the case.

They are suffering from mad-climatologist disease.
