Wells (no fan of Martin’s) on Martin’s daily hypocrisy citing.
It is nothing but hypocrisy for Paul Martin to cite Randy White as proof of Conservative extremism unless he promises, right now, today, to evict Roger Gallaway from the Liberal caucus. Because there is not a thin dime to separate White’s views on the courts from Gallaway’s.
A critical review of Moore’s new movie. A critical review in The Star?
I’m puzzling over how it is that Moore, a guy who casts himself in his own films as the underdog, now seems more like the arrogant elitists he used to lampoon so effectively. Whether or not you agree with his arguments in Fahrenheit 9/11 — and there’s a lot to debate — there’s no doubt the man’s ambitions have expanded in the 15 years since his auspicious bow with Roger & Me, along with his waistline and bank balance.
Did he really release the movie early to influence Canada’s election? Shameful if true.
Only the province has the power to overturn the ridiculous decision not to reknew Fantino’s contract.
Ontario Community Safety Minister Monte Kwinter has the power to ask the Ontario Civilian Commission on Police Services to investigate any police board where the members appear incapable of performing their duties and to recommend appropriate action. We can’t think of a better place to start than with the Toronto board.
So far Miller has been responsible for killing any hope of privatization of city services, killing the bridge, and now shuffling a strong chief into the sunset.
Aren’t left wing politicians destructive?
A good article on our sacred cow, health care, comparing Britain’s NHS to sweet rationing.
One of the arguments socialists put forward for keeping sweets rationed, they said, was that, if rationing ended, rich people would buy every sweet and leave nothing for ordinary children.
Sweet rationing ended for good almost exactly 50 years ago, in July 1954, and nobody in their right mind would want it back.
Why can’t we get a market system going in our biggest expense? When will profit stop being a swear word in Canada?
An exhaustive post on Moore’s new movie.
: As I walked out of the theater on the opening day of Michael Moore’s Fahrenheit 9/11, I thought (read: hoped) that even here, in the East Village of Manhattan, true Moore country, where the flick was already sold out all night, surely even here they wouldn’t fall for all his obvious, visual/rhetorical tricks, his propaganda too unsubtle for the cheapest tin-horn demagog.
I always thought Fantino was a great chief. I wonder what the police board was thinking?
The Toronto Police Services Board says it won’t be renewing current Chief Julian Fantino’s contract when it expires next March.
What a neat idea: the chillow.
The Chillow requires no electricity and offers a noiseless, low cost cooling alternative that while dry itself, will not dry out the air around you or become too cold like traditional cooling methods
One of the most inspirational and positive little bundles of joy I have seen on TV died today.
Mattie Stepanek, the child poet whose inspirational verse made him a best-selling writer and a prominent voice for muscular dystrophy sufferers, died Tuesday of a rare form of the disease. He was 13.
Anyone who saw him on Larry King Live on Sep 2, 2002, will know what I mean.
He has a famous book, Heartsongs & Journey Through Heartsongs ($US orders), and a website.
You can also hear him read a poem.
The world is a poorer place today.

LGF writes in disbelief of the minimization of the current serious situation brewing in Iran.
A “serious diplomatic spat?” In the days before multiculturalism and political correctness sapped the moral clarity from Western society, this would have been a casus belli: Iran to Prosecute UK Sailors – Iranian TV.
Can Iran be next for the coalition of the willing?
South Africa could easily be the next Zimbabwe.
Jacob van der Westhuizen, 74, didn’t suspect a thing when a stranger came up to tell him a small deer, a duiker, was tangled in the fence down by his creek.
Ah, the disgrace of the Clinton presidency came rushing back as Clinton came out to promote his book, My Life ($US orders). Worthington recalls too.
Comparisons are inevitable. George W. Bush is no Clinton, not in demeanour, charm, glibness, chutzpah. Neither is John Kerry. For many, Clinton’s surface appeal is offset by flexible morality, his penchant for lying, shamelessness, his dubious feat of tainting the Oval Office, his swiping White House furniture when he left.
The Big 3 are wondering why the Sienna is beating their pants off.
Despite being more than a year old, offering no major incentives and relying on an advertising campaign that hasn’t changed in 13 months, the Toyota Sienna is outselling the latest Detroit has to offer.
Maybe because it’s well designed, has all the features people want, and doesn’t fall apart soon after buying it.
Warren spells out how he would have won the election.
So I put together a quick list of ten things that could have been done, or could have been done differently. The Post agreed to print it, but I withdrew it when my father’s condition started getting worse. So here it is. You can file it in the free advice category.
Stern was pumping Moore’s new film today, getting me more interested. Then I read this.
To describe this film as dishonest and demagogic would almost be to promote those terms to the level of respectability.
Balance is so important when making decisions.

I mentioned this last week.
With one week to go before election day, there are signs everywhere that Paul Martin and his once-mighty Liberal ship are sinking.
Lawn signs, actually.
The name Liberal is also shrinking on most lawn signs.
