Fields of weeds
Have to agree with this Star letter writer:
What we in Toronto are now seeing is the “slobbing of our urban landscapes”. A drive down any street or highway reveals a landscape of unsightly tall weeds and litter along roadsides, schoolyards, and parks.
The look of our boulevards and parks is nothing less than atrocious. The broken window theory of civic order definitely applies to our unsightly green spaces. I wonder if people still feel the same way about more parks now?
Work in Progress
As you may have noticed, things are looking different here today. The only way I could make the switch to EE is to actually do it before everything was perfectly ready, otherwise I was content not to do it. So links on the side may not work as I iron things out.
Not voting Liberal
Well, we read that Coren won’t be voting Paul Martin back in.
I cannot, shall not, will not give my backing to what we should call the Government of all the Ironies.
Clark the Liberal
The more I read about Joe Clark, the more disgusted I am and the happier I am that he’s come out of the closet and declared himself officially as a Liberal.
Clark, McLellan: They had it made
Greg Weston learns of a secret plot by the Tories and Liberals to rig key ridings in 2000 election
Language truth hurts
This is what I was saying the other day:
THE RESIGNATION of Scott Reid as Stephen Harper’s official languages critic, after saying it’s time to consider ending the federal obligation to offer bilingual services from coast to coast, is another example of what’s wrong with Canada today.
To put it simply, the French maintain special status.
Why do we need to offer bilingual services in communities where French-speakers are almost non-existent? Because the squeaky wheel gets the grease.
For as long as I’ve lived, Quebec has ruled Canada with the rights of the French protected and those of the English be damned. Quebec won’t accept a unilingual English-speaking prime minister, so the west is shut out. Government jobs are a dream to the majority of Canadians because of the requirement to speak French. The cost of government is unnecessarily huge because of the duplication of services.
Scott Reid got it right. Don’t provide services where they aren’t warranted. No one should be asking for his resignation or feigning horror. Finally, someone had the nerve to speak to truth.

Wallin makes sense
As annoying as her appointment to the plum job was, it’s good to see Wallin is talking sense when it comes to US/Canada relations vis a vis the war on terror.
“I’m telling you that if another incident ever happens—and most people in the U.S. assume that it will—if it happens and there is any connection to Canada, and if that plane starts in Toronto and not Boston, and if that person on the plane has a Canadian visa and not an American visa, you will watch that border close very, very quickly,” Wallin warned.
Clean ‘em out
Glad to see another squatter dump was razed.
BULLDOZERS AND police officers roused more than half a dozen youths living under a Bathurst St. bridge out of their slumber and forced them out of Troll Town yesterday morning.
Truth hurts
It’s sad when one of the reasons the Reform party started in the first place is causing Harper to cow-tow to the wrong headed thinking that killed the Tory party in the first place.
A firestorm was ignited early in the day after Lanark-Carleton MP Scott Reid, Harper’s critic on the official languages portfolio, told a New Brunswick newspaper it’s time to consider ending the federal obligation to offer bilingual services from coast to coast.
I’m not sure why Harper can’t speak to what he believes – what does he have to lose? Quebec won’t give him one seat anyway – are the people of Ontario not ready to concede that bending over for Quebec is what weakens and may kill this country? The sooner they realize this reality the better off we’ll all be.
Grab em danno
Some people just don’t learn.
Burgess screamed and cursed at Kelsey when she was asked to produce documents, he told assistant prosecutor William Burns. Then she left the scene and emerged minutes later from the nearby D&A Deli, he said.
More of the same
More Liberals helping liberals … and you Canadians want to bring these guys back federally next month?
CRITICS ARE denouncing the provincial government’s indirect hiring of the federal Grits’ campaign co-chairman for budget advice as an outrageous and corrupt breach of contract tendering rules
Recalling Harris
Our short lived PM (hopefully) was badmouthing Harris, of all people – and Blizzard takes issue with the comparisons.
NEWS ITEM No. 1: Announcing the June 28 election date, Prime Minister Paul Martin suggests Canada under Stephen Harper would be like Ontario under Mike Harris. As if that were a bad thing.
Crosbie returning?
John Crosbie coming back can only be seen as good news.
Colourful Tory veteran John Crosbie says he’s seriously considering running for the new Conservative party because the political system has become “dysfunctional” under the Liberals.
Debunking the Star
Nobody tears up The Star’s garbage output like Bob does at LIB.
Excellent, excellent, excellent piece by Mitchell Anderson in today’s Toronto Star about the happy end of our “addiction to cheap oil”. It’s not substantively good, mind you, and it’s riddled with lazy arguments and outright lies, but it’s a kickass example of the kind of tripe they’ll happily publish over at One Yonge Street.
There are no terrorists in Canada
Americans must be tired of hearing about our Canadian terrorists.
Amid fears of an imminent Islamist attack, the Bush administration has tried to energize the hunt for terrorists by reissuing months-old data about two Canadians thought to have trained as pilots.
