Michael Ignatieff was in Burlington this morning, giving a rousing and firm stump speech to a crowd of over 200 (somewhere between 200-250 is the estimate), including bigwigs like Oakville Mayor Rob Burton , former Senator Betty Kennedy , federal Liberal candidate Deb Gillis , and several Burlington and Milton candidates for city council, including Mark Carr and Marianne Meed Ward , and Cory Judson .

Posted at/Publié sur Morton's Musings on/à 2010-07-30 11:37 EDT R. v. Cornell 2010 SCC 31 was released today. It permitted a search of a residence made without prior announcement but in so doing set out the customary process. The Court held:

Posted at/Publié sur Saskboy's Abandoned Stuff - Site News on/à 2010-07-30 11:26 EDT How would you feel if you were arrested on fake charges, and when you show up in court to defend yourself, you find the state pretending that you were never charged? This happened in Canada over the last month. Most Canadians couldn’t imagine this sort of state corruption happening here, and now it is. It’s happened to your countryman, David Vasey. Remember those mocked Liberal ads from the Paul Martin campaign? Posted at/Publié sur Bowie's Blog on/à 2010-07-30 11:05 EDT I always love when Rob Anders is in the news - it's always a hoot. That's why I couldn't help but laugh out loud when Rob Anders popped up today and claimed that he had knowledge that Chinese influence is running deeper than even CSIS admits. This is due to apparent Chinese promises of gifts and beautiful young women. He even says members of the federal government are under constant pressure. I'd love for him to name names....

That's part of the first paragraph of a happy-news release from the province's environment. It's one of dozens issued every week in July as part of the happy-news offensive mounted by the provincial government in the run up to August's scheduled polling by the provincial government pollster. The release leaves out much relevant detail. Not surprisingly,... Posted at/Publié sur Morton's Musings on/à 2010-07-30 10:42 EDT R. v. Pickton, 2010 SCC 32 ( http://bit.ly/9CNGF8 ) was released about 45 minutes ago. The appeal was dismissed but the Court had concerns about the trial. That said, in light of the overwhelming evidence of guilt the appeal was dismissed. The main thrust of the Court's concern was that the trial judge ought not to have limited his instructions to what the parties argued but ought to have also dealt with the possible routes to guilt disclosed by the evidence. A summary follows: The accused was charged with several counts of first degree murder after the police found the dismembered remains of the victims on his property. Throughout the trial, the Crown maintained that the accused had actually shot and killed the women.... There is one thing, aside from Hockey, that Canadians have perfected. It is the art of complaining. We complain about our leaders, the economy, those damnable Americans, the atheist-statist nutters in Toronto, the fascist-zealots in rural BC/Alta., the lines at Tim Hortons, the warm government beer, the cold but chaotically priced private beer, those damnable [...] Posted at/Publié sur The Scott Ross on/à 2010-07-30 10:10 EDT If we're going to have a Conservative government, can we at least not have a dumb one?

Posted at/Publié sur THE WOODSTOCK ONTARIO INDEPENDENT NEWS on/à 2010-07-30 08:07 EDT The old Capitol theater is literally standing on her last legs after more than 120 years in the city of Woodstock. This coming week the process of removing the icon from the city is set to begin. According to the City of Woodstock, the removal will cost taxpayers nearly $500,000.00 as the owner of the building has no insurance and according to her, has no money to cover the costs. The old building contains some asbestos which requires some delicacy in handling for removal.

Posted at/Publié sur THE WOODSTOCK ONTARIO INDEPENDENT NEWS on/à 2010-07-30 07:53 EDT Officials are being wooed by China, Tory MP says Posted at/Publié sur Scott's DiaTribes on/à 2010-07-30 07:27 EDT I’ve come to the conclusion this morning that the Conservative War Room must think the media and public are stupid, or they are hoping everyone out there has amnesia or memory loss on their behaviour with regards to how they’ve treated the public service since being in power. Let me list a few examples to refresh your memory. In the most recent case of this, we’ve seen Industry Minister Tony Clement and company attempting to hide behind Munir Shiekh and Statistics Canada when they got criticized over dumping the mandatory longform Census, claiming that it was deemed perfectly acceptable by Statistics Canada to change to a voluntary longform. Unfortunately for them (but fortunately for Canada), Shiekh wouldn’t allow StatsCan’s credibility to be dragged through... Posted at/Publié sur Impolitical on/à 2010-07-30 07:27 EDT Oh look, the Russians are coming, again: "Canadian jets repel Russian bombers." There is word to Sun Media (QMI) from Peter " uniform " MacKay that two Canadian jets scrambled to meet Russian bombers on Wednesday. That sounds so familiar. Posted at/Publié sur BigCityLib Strikes Back on/à 2010-07-30 06:52 EDT Mark Bonokowski, that is. His disappearance from the T.O. Sun masthead appears to stem from the fact that he is on vacation , as confirmed by this tweet from the 27th , and not from the fact that the Vampire Teneckcye sacked his ass out the door.

A new study made by international scientist support the fact that climate change is real. The scientist show that all the effects that climate change was expected to do has happened. Everything from air temperature is going up to humidity, and everything from Artic ice to glaciers has been disapering. This just restate the thruth about the climate of the planet that it is actually happening, and that he so called "Climategate" is just one big hoax. The truth is that the global temeprature has risen 0.56 C. Which means that the Climate is changing , and that We should stop arguing on the truth (that the climate is changing) and talk about solution to the problem like a Carbon Tax and investments in alternative energy.

Posted at/Publié sur CathiefromCanada on/à 2010-07-30 01:25 EDT How hard would it be for the Canadian government to just adopt a policy that says, if you are a Canadian citizen and you get into trouble outside the country then our top priority is to help you? Posted at/Publié sur Saskboy's Abandoned Stuff - Site News on/à 2010-07-29 21:10 EDT My title is an unlikely name for a cause backed by Hollywood celebrities and musicians. That’s why it has another name, and is funded by a greenwashing effort by BP and other oil companies. “Be The One” is an oil industry effort to make the US government (AKA taxpayer) responsible for funding the clean-up of oil along the Gulf and Atlantic coast. The US Government said it “will not rest” until the people living at the Gulf are “made whole”. The actions of BP and Transocean injured the Gulf and its people, and they are 100% responsible for the out of control gusher that flowed for months and it’s cleanup. “BP The One” will be a failed greenwashing attempt. “Be The One” may have pulled down its sponsors page to avoid fur...

I also wonder what Conservative leader, since Joe Clark marshalled the Calgary Pride Parade, would make a summer campaign based on events like this. Posted at/Publié sur CathiefromCanada on/à 2010-07-29 17:04 EDT The Facebook group Canadians Demanding a Public Inquiry into Toronto G20 have released the list of the most urgent questions that an inquiry into police behaviour during the protests should answer: 1. Why were the police forcing peaceful protesters out of Queen's Park on Saturday when that was the designated protest area? ... I hope for nothing but the best for Shawn and his family. Statement by Parry SoundMuskoka Federal Liberal Association Huntsville - July 29, 2010 Shawn Pudsey, the Liberal Party of Canada's nominated candidate in Parry SoundMuskoka, made the following statement today: "It is with a heavy heart that I have decided to step down as the candidate for the federal Liberal Party in Parry SoundMuskoka. A number of years ago, I was treated for cancer. It seems to be making a re-appearance. But the prognosis is good, and I am not going anywhere.

In short, Harper's defenders say that the leopard has changed its spots, and can...

Posted at/Publié sur Bowie's Blog on/à 2010-07-29 11:36 EDT In response to my last post, an anonymous commenter (who was pretty obviously a Tory staffer - hey, it doesn't seem like they have better things to do during work hours ) countered that he/she had been to 10 different Stephen Harper events and it was wrong for me the criticize Harper for his vanishing act this summer. Hilariously enough today a map has come out detailing the Prime Minister's coming and goings this summer and oddly enough there aren't even 10 events total: Posted at/Publié sur Scott's DiaTribes on/à 2010-07-29 10:41 EDT Briefly, My colleague the Jurist at his blog details some more blanket condemnations of the Conservatives bone-headed/ideological move to kill the mandatory longform census, but he did miss one article that should be read – C.E.S Franks at the Globe and Mail explains why Munir Shiekh resigned, and the probable chain of events. He isn’t impressed: The problem Mr. Sheikh faced was not the choice between voluntary survey or mandatory census, but that the minister went public with inaccurate claims about the advice he had received. Mr. Clement was selective to the point that his public claims have not accurately reflected the advice given by Statistics Canada and its public service head. This misrepresentation called into question the integrity of Statistics Canada, the office of t... Posted at/Publié sur Cynthia Dunsford, MLA on/à 2010-07-29 10:34 EDT “Unpaid work is perhaps the biggest contribution that women make to the economy. In Canada unpaid work is estimated to be worth up to $319 in the money economy or 41% of GDP; globally the numbers skyrocket to $11 trillion US. Most unpaid work in Canada and around the world is performed by women. In Canada, the 1996 Census was the first to collect data on unpaid work, marking a major breakthrough for feminists across the country and providing an example for other countries around the world. What do the statistics tell us? Women and men in Canada have similar total workloads but men spend most of their time, 4.5 hours a day, in paid work and 2.7 hours in unpaid work. For women, the statistics are reversed with 2.8 hours in paid work and 4.4 hours in unpaid work.2 Women perform 2/3... And in no particularly political order here are a list of books that I’ve read that I think everyone should read in preparation of an election or campaign. These are plucked from my shelf so it isn’t a complete list, albeit this list is one I’m very familiar with seeing that I’ve read each of [...] Posted at/Publié sur Warren Kinsella on/à 2010-07-29 10:00 EDT RIM copies Apple, Apple copies RIM: It’s just me, but I’d recommend the two companies stick to doing what they already do very well: RIM manufacturing a terrific device for email, Apple manufacturing terrific touch-screen computer thingies. I’m not sure they advance their corporate interests by providing a pale version of what the other guy does better. The Giorno Factor: I know Guy and I like him. I don’t agree with his views on many, many subjects, but he’s a smart cat. The notion, however, that he’s really the Prime Minister, and not Stephen Harper, is mistaken. Chiefs of Staff are important, but nobody should be under the impression that The Boss is anything other than The Boss: that has always been so. The character and focus of the Harper... Posted at/Publié sur eaves.ca on/à 2010-07-29 09:54 EDT The other week David Akin penned a commentary piece about an Ipsos-Reid poll that showed Canadians were evenly split about the census issue. It was trotted forward as proof positive that this was a non-issue that the press was blowing out of proportion. Well, things have changed. A more recent Angus-Reid poll shows that the numbers are shifting. Those opposed to the government's decision (47%) has stayed constant but, in contrast to the poll Akin cited, Canadians have possibly become more aware of the issue and support has dwindled to 38% per cent. But dig deeper and the story is gets more interesting. Only one-in-four Canadians (24%) agree with the Conservatives assertion that the Long Form Census is intrusive and 58% think it yields data that is important to make policy decisions in all...
