because standing up for Canada and standing up for freedom (of speech) are two entirely different things

Are you sitting down? Better not. Can't stand up for something when you're sitting down. Try it. Didn't work, did it?

"New" Government fires geologist for... disobedience

Dr. Andrew Okulitch was fired by an assistant deputy minister for refusing to call the government of Canada "Canada's New Government" with all three words capitalized.

No use spending micro-managed pennies on insolent geologists.

Nevermind, I'm sure you've all heard this already - we're privileged in Canada to have a responsible national press, just like they do in the US.

Harper "rebalances" foreign policy

Wow, he learns fast. It was just during the last election that he said he knew nothing about foreign policy and has never traveled.

"Errol Mendes, professor of international law at the University of Ottawa and a former advisor to the UN in the Martin government, said Canada's foreign policy is undergoing what he called a 'rebalancing,' which means it is being refashioned into a policy that is closer to that of the U.S. and Australia. Harper may talk about this change in direction" at his speech to the UN.

Anti-climate change propaganda paid for by ExxonMobil: Royal Society

The leading British science society, formerly including such members as Isaac Newton (idiot), Charles Darwin (Nazi) and Albert Einstein (wrong), found that ExxonMobil gave $2.9 million to 39 groups that "have been misinforming the public about the science of climate change."

The recipient groups dispute the link between greenhouse gas emissions and global warming, and include the Competitive Enterprise Institute, a free-market advocacy group; and the Center for the Study of Carbon Dioxide and Global Change.

"It's bizarre that a company like ExxonMobil should be funding an organization that so clearly is putting out information that is at odds with the opinion of the scientific community"

RELATED UPDATE: Sea inherits even more freshwater

"From April 2004 to April 2006, Greenland lost roughly 680 cubic kilometres of ice -— more than the volume of water in Lake Erie.

A previous study, in the August issue of Science, found that Greenland was losing about 240 cubic kilometres of ice annually from 2002 to 2005"

Now that's freedom you can drink.

So, a big fuzzy hug to cda's gov't. Whoops, I mean "Canada's New Government." (Have mercy.)

  • For stepping on insects in the civil service that question your authority and motives. That's standing up for Canada. Standing up for freedom of speech is just so pussy.
  • For investing in our military. God knows (along with Australia and the US) that it's the only way to get things done. That's power you can see and taste. Freedom you can smell.
  • For cutting our ties to Kyoto. Greenland was probably melting anyway, right? That's what the Center for the Study of Carbon Dioxide and Global Change said.
