The Temple of Harperization
Be Afraid.... Be Very Afraid
Canada is losing its identity as a free nation. Democracy is under attack from this dictatorial Prime Minister.
Debate in the House of Commons is cut short so that controversial bills can be forced through parliament without scrutiny or criticism.
Civil Servants who resist or speak out are forced to resign.
It is no longer "The Canadian Government"
but rather
"The Harper Government"
Canada and Canadians have lost their right to freedom of speech

More Lies
So the Conservatives won't admit they are opting out of Kyoto
their spin doctors want you to believe it is the fault of the previous government but....
wait a minute they are the previous government
Oh! What they mean is "They never signed the agreement"
The Liberals did.... that's true ... in 1998
What the Conservatives want you to believe is that the Liberals did nothing to enforce it..... That's also true
What they are not telling you is that....
Kyoto was signed in 1997 ... ratified in 2002 and came into force in 2005.....
OR THAT
"In adopting Kyoto, the previous Liberal government pledged that Canada would reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by six per cent below 1990 levels by the five-year commitment period of 2008 to 2012. Canada’s 2002 climate change plan committed the country to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 240 million tonnes a year by the end of 2012. It proposes a three-stage strategy to achieve that goal through a combination of incentives, regulations and tax measures."

As we Canadians know the Liberals were under constant fire at that time, then formed a minority government and were subsequently defeated by a minority Conservative Government in 2006. A government who pandered to the oil giants and had run on opting out of Kyoto to form an "Oil Industry sponsored air quality program"
They never intended to remain in Kyoto ....
Stop blaming someone else for your bad intentions PM Harper
As major players on the World stage Canada should lead by example......
What this Conservative Government is saying to the Children of Canada is "It's OK to be a quitter if you can't get your own way"
Take your ball and go home like a bunch of spoiled hateful brats
The iron fence around the Prime Minister's residence at 24 Sussex Drive
was in need of repair, and contractors from Alberta , Quebec and
Newfoundland were bidding for the job. The three of them went to look at the
job to be done along with a government official.
The Alberta contractor took out a measuring tape, did some calculations
and announced. "I figure the job will run about $9000, of which $4000 is for
materials, $4000 for my crew and $1000 of profit for me."
The Newfie contractor then measured the area, did some figuring and
announced, "I can do the job for $7000, being $3000 for materials,
$3000 for my crew and $1000 profit for me."
The Quebec contractor didn't measure anything and didn't do any
calculations. He simply leaned over to the government official and
whispering "$27,000."
The government official turned back to him saying, "You didn't even
measure or calculate like the other guys, so how do you come up with such a
big amount?"
The Quebec contractor whispers back to him, "$10,000 for me, $10,000
for you and we hire the Newfie to do the job."
"Done" replies the government official.

The Irish Millionaire
The Irish Millionaire
Mick, from Dublin , appeared on 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire' and towards the end of the program had already won 500,000 euros.
"You've done very well so far," said Chris Tarrant, the show's presenter, "but for a million euros you've only got one life-line left, phone a friend.
Everything is riding on this question. Will you go for it?"
"Sure," said Mick. "I'll have a go!"
"Which of the following birds does NOT build its own nest?
a) Sparrow
b) Thrush,
c) Magpie,
d) Cuckoo?"
"I haven't got a clue." said Mick,
''So I'll use my last lifeline and phone my friend Paddy back home in Dublin ..."
Mick called up his mate, and told him the circumstances and
repeated the question to him.
"Hell, Mick!" cried Paddy. "Dat's simple, it's a cuckoo."
"Are you sure?"
"I'm sure."
Mick hung up the phone and told Chris, "I'll go with cuckoo as my answer."
"Is that your final answer?" asked Chris.
"Dat it is."
There was a long, long pause and then the presenter screamed, "Cuckoo is the correct answer! Mick, you've won 1 million euros!"
The next night, Mick invited Paddy to their local pub to buy him a drink.
"Tell me, Paddy? How in Heaven's name did you know it was da Cuckoo that doesn't build its own nest?"
"Because he lives in a f...in clock!"
Thanks Pat

Angelo Mosca and Joe Kapp Fist Fight - Complete Video - Unedited
Really Stupid Old Farts
Personally I never liked Mosca so it doesn't surprise me
But then how stupid was it for the CFL to seat them together.
THE STRENGTH OF LOVE..
How's this story for a reminder that "We don't know we're alive"
Her name is Katie Kirkpatrick, 21 yrs old. Next to her is her fiancé, Nick, 23. This picture was taken prior to their wedding January 11th, 2005. Katie has terminal cancer and spends hours in chemotherapy Here Nick awaits while she finishes one of the sessions...
Even in pain and dealing with her organs shutting down, with the help of morphine, Katie took care of every single part of the wedding planning. Her dress had to be adjusted several times due to Katie 's constant weight loss.
expected guest was her oxygen tank. Katie had to use it during the ceremony and reception. The other couple in this picture is Nick's parents, very emotional with the wedding and to see their son marrying the girl he fell in love when he was an adolescent.
Katie, in a wheel chair listening to her husband and friends singing to her.
the middle of the party, Katie had to rest for a bit and catch her breath The pain does not allow her to stand for long period of time.
Katie died 5 days after her wedding. To see a fragile woman dress as bride with a beautiful smile makes you think... Happiness is always there within reach, no matter how long it lasts. Let’s enjoy life and don't live a complicated life. Life is too short. Work as if it was your first day Forgive as soon as possible. Love without boundaries. Laugh without control and never stop smiling Please pray for those suffering from
Thanks Ellen/Sam

Drinking and driving experience
I would like to share an experience with you which has to do with drinking and driving. The other night I was out for dinner with a few friends.
After consuming too many beers, and knowing full well that I was wasted, I did something I’ve never done before. Believe it or not, I took a bus home. Yes, a bus. I arrived home safely and without incident.
This was really a surprise to me since I have never driven a bus before.
Thanks Kerry

Ben Stein Christmas in America
The following is attributed to Ben Stein
My confession:
I am a Jew, and every single one of my ancestors was Jewish. And it does not bother me even a little bit when people call those beautiful lit up, bejeweled trees, Christmas trees. I don't feel threatened. I don't feel discriminated against. That's what they are, Christmas trees.
It doesn't bother me a bit when people say, 'Merry Christmas' to me. I don't think they are slighting me or getting ready to put me in a ghetto. In fact, I kind of like it. It shows that we are all brothers and sisters celebrating this happy time of year. It doesn't bother me at all that there is a manger scene on display at a key intersection near my beach house in Malibu ... If people want a creche, it's just as fine with me as is the Menorah a few hundred yards away.
I don't like getting pushed around for being a Jew, and I don't think Christians like getting pushed around for being Christians. I think people who believe in God are sick and tired of getting pushed around, period. I have no idea where the concept came from, thatAmerica is an explicitly atheist country. I can't find it in the Constitution and I don't like it being shoved down my throat.
Or maybe I can put it another way: where did the idea come from that we should worship celebrities and we aren't allowed to worship God as we understand Him? I guess that's a sign that I'm getting old, too. But there are a lot of us who are wondering where these celebrities came from and where the America we knew went to.
In light of the many jokes we send to one another for a laugh, this is a little different: This is not intended to be a joke; it's not funny, it's intended to get you thinking.
The information posted above has been altered to some extent. For Ben's full statement visit http://www.snopes.com/politics/soapbox/confessions.asp

This painting, itself, is remarkable. Even more amazing, though, the canvas has been computerized. When you click on the link below, the computerized version of this painting appears. Run your cursor over the people. The Program tells you who they are! BUT (click on a person) and you obtain the individual’s life history.
This is fascinating ... CLICK HERE<http://cliptank.com/PeopleofInfluencePainting.htm>

Dogs Welcome
"Dogs Welcome"
A man wrote a letter to a small hotel in a Midwest town he planned to visit on his vacation.
He wrote: I would very much like to bring my dog with me. He is well-groomed and very well behaved. Would you be willing to permit me to keep him in my room with me at night?"
An immediate reply came from the hotel owner, who wrote:
SIR: "I've been operating this hotel for many years. In all that time, I've never had a dog steal towels, bedclothes, silverware or pictures off the walls.
I've never had to evict a dog in the middle of the night for being drunk and disorderly.
And I've never had a dog run out on a hotel bill.
Yes, indeed, your dog is welcome at my hotel. And, if your dog will vouch for you, you're welcome to stay here, too."
Thanks Penny.... I love it
