The Perpetual Squeaky Wheel, by Wonder Woman of North American Patriot, the Shotgun, Oct. 28, 05

Her response was to "Quebec to get special deal -- "Ottawa is preparing to sign a special child-care deal with Quebec that would give that province more autonomy over how it spends its share of the early-learning pie than has been granted to other provinces., G&M, By GLORIA GALLOWAY AND RHÉAL SÉGUIN, Friday, October 28, 2005

[. . . . ]no demands that the money is to go specifically toward child care. It could, instead, be used for "related objectives for the well-being of families."

That could mean education, child-assistance programs and programs to help families better balance the home and the workplace, said a source in the Quebec government, which had demanded the more flexible wording.

Conservative Premier Lord of NB wanted the daycare money to be able to go, as well, to families where one parent would stay at home. He was refused by the federal Liberals.

To rub in to TROC how it fits into asymmetrical federalism compared with Quebec, we have Lapierre:

[. . . . ] Transport Minister Jean Lapierre, Mr. Martin's Quebec lieutenant, was even more direct.

"Obviously Quebec is a model for the whole country and you don't ask Quebec to start up a new system when they're already spending $1.2-billion a year," . . . .

PM and team will pay any amount of your money, be as unfair as is needed--as usual--for enough votes to stay in power . . . and Canadians will vote them in again, I suppose. Why?

Doesn't this stick in anyone's craw enough to make Canadians re-think returning the Liberals to power again?

"Christian", David Smith, and Maniwaki AngryGWN, October 27, 2005

Don't miss this one and the other articles below it -- much investigating done -- revealing.

As you recall, my theory is that Abotech is a shell company created by faux-aboriginal David Smith, Liberal MP for the riding of Pontiac. Abotech, with the help of now-suspended bureaucrat (and cousin of David Smith) Frank Brazeau, lands contracts from the Procurement Strategy for Aboriginal Business program, run by the Indian and Northern Affairs Canada, under the leadership of the Honourable Andy Scott, Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development and Federal Interlocutor for Métis and Non-Status Indians. The work is then handed off to one of David Smith's former firms to do the actual work, after David Smith takes his cut. Jaguar Solutions was one of those firms. It has done work for aboriginal contracts in the past. [. . . . ]

Rabinovitch faces wrath of politicians

I heard a bit on TV; an impassioned Denis Coderre--I think, though the names are not up all the time so if you tune in late, too bad--anyway, Coderre was waxing loquacious about Quebec's concerns, needs and demands. Frankly, I would like to hear about something besides Quebec all the time. There is 75%-80% of this country which is not Quebec and yet we hear so much about that one province. D*** it! Do TROC or conservatives have anyone speaking for us . . . or did I miss it?

Mr. Rabinovich and Peter Stursburg were being grilled. There must be someone new the PM/PMO want to put in to make sure the Liberal Propaganda Organ is ready to spew the Liberal spin for the election.

CBC actually had Andrew Coyne and an individual from the Fraser Institute on with Chantal Hebert last night. Wonder of wonders. The discussion was not stacked with three lefties and one Red Tory. Of course, PM needs to court the West for the next election, the cynic in me observes.




I saw in the National Post this week that Bombardier is going to build something in Mexico and Montreal will lose jobs (300? Check this one.) When Canadian tax dollars go into a company, how is it that it can outsource or send jobs out of Canada without repaying all the money Canadians have given for its development over the years? Is that question too naive to be asked?

How delightful for them! How wonderful to see what seems like the average working men have their dreams fulfilled by becoming millionaires. It still doesn't entice me to buy a ticket, though I found myself grinning with happiness for them. It looks as though the gods tipped the scales in the right direction this time. May their lives be better for it.

Memory Lane

A "Liberal policy hangover that never seems to go away."

Don Martin: The NEP, 25 years later

[. . . . ] On the evening of Oct. 28, 1980, finance minister Allan MacEachern rose in the House of Commons to announce a new energy policy for Canada. "Time is running out," he warned. "The federal government feels compelled to put Canada's energy house in order."

An exodus of Alberta oil rigs, foreign investment, tax revenue and workers was born that night. [. . . . ]

Victor Davis Hanson: Modern lessons from an ancient war

Listen to what the talking heads are saying, and it's easy to believe that we have entered an entirely new era of armed conflict.

Since Sept. 11, 2001, [. . . . ]

[. . . . ] But to the ears of a military historian -- and here, I offer my own perspective -- such arguments seem superficial. War is like water. Its fundamental character, like the nature of the humans who fight it, has remained unchanged over the centuries.

Over 2,400 years ago [. . . . ]

And as Thucydides reminds us, more damaging than the democratic empire's military blunders or the prowess of its enemies was its society's infighting and internal discord.

Successful societies face their enemies squarely, and with one voice. They undermine their leaders and generals at their peril.

Delphi plan cuts wages, retirees’ health benefits BY JOHN LIPPERT AND JEFF BENNETT BLOOMBERG NEWS
Posted on Thursday, October 27, 2005

Auto-parts maker Delphi Corp. wants to cut workers ’ wages by as much as two-thirds, begin monthly charges for health care and eliminate health benefits for retirees as part of a plan to exit bankruptcy, according to a letter to the United Auto Workers union. [. . . . ]

Would this have anything to do with automotive jobs moving out of the country?
