Abortion gone wrong

A very disturbing story of an abortion gone wrong.

A woman who was scheduled to have her 22-week-along pregnancy ended at a Florida abortion clinic instead delivered the baby alive in a restroom and says her pleading for help from medical staff went unheeded, even when an employee saw that the tiny boy was moving.

Not in his wildest dreams

I am sure this dyed in the wool socialist could never have imagined getting handed this juicy job back in his socialist days.

Duncan said Love will develop province-wide conservation programs to help the Ontario government reach its goal of reducing peak electricity demand growth by 5% in 2007. Love will earn $270,000 a year, as well as an incentive bonus of up to 15%, said Ontario Power Authority CEO Jan Carr.

Instead of true supply and demand, we have price caps, controls, and official coercion to get us to run our dishwashers at 3am.  See what a real market force could avoid?

Poor GM

Glenn Reynolds writes on the troubles at GM.

My earlier post on GM’s problems generated some e-mail.  Some people don’t much care what happens to the company:

People of Oshawa should take note – the new GM will probably be Toyota in the not-too-distant future.

I know I’ve dumped my GM for Toyota – who are possibly building a new plant in Woodstock.

De-regulate

Bob says that the over-regulated taxi market at the airport acts like it isn’t regulated.  I don’t travel much, but the once or twice I have encountered these cabs was similar.

No wonder people arrange their own rides.

Send your protest

This site seems to be a worthwhile few minutes of your protest time.

Every Canadian Taxpayer needs to speak up and demand an end to the corruption and misuse of our hard-earned tax dollars.

If the government falls

They whine that their initiatives will die if the government falls.

One casualty would be the budget implementation bill. That, said Fontana, would mean no money for social housing, no extra resource revenues for Newfoundland or Nova Scotia, and no spending to keep Canada’s commitments on the Kyoto Accord.

“A lot of things die on the order paper,” Fontana said. “Kyoto, the agreement with Newfoundland and Nova Scotia (on resource revenues), the child-care (initiative).”

For the most part, I say: so what?  The best thing we can do is get out of the Kyoto nonsense, which will kill the economy.

Hiptop2 from Fido

Look what I bought the other day.

This thing is a great little unit – the best part of the deal is the $20/month unlimited data, that Rogers and the others really can’t touch.

If any of you are interested in the product, email , and I will refer you so we can both get a $20 credit.

Anti taxpayer

Sue Anne agrees Miller shafted the taxpayer in his latest giveaway to the TTC.

So Miller showed respect to his union buddies. I wish I could say he showed the same respect for taxpayers.

It will hurt even more when it comes to the other unions, with this sad precedent.
