What is the proof that Scott Brison tried to start a story that had no foundation? He had to retract his remarks about the NCC (See Nov. 6 for details), and, to my knowledge, has not yet apologized to Stephen Harper. There is ongoing investigation. (Brison had accused Harper of having been a paid lobbyist for NCC; he was an advocate for many of us. There is a difference.)

Brison was probably trying to deflect attention from Harper's Accountability Act.

The Invisible Hand: Stephen Harper quotes Nov. 2, 05 -- This is well done.

"Mr. Martin has been exonerated of something he was never accused of. [. . . . ]

"Where we have suggested - I have to point this out - where we have suggested that Mr. Martin should be investigated is in the contracting practices with Earnscliffe, which were part of the Auditor General's chapters three, four, and five, but were left off of Gomery's terms of reference." [. . . . ]

Paul Martin set out the terms, what was to be looked into, for the Gomery Investigation, didn't he? So . . .

The Bells of Ys -- on the rioting in France

[. . . . ] The Muslim uprising of the last week is a challenge to the half century of policy that has brought France to this point. Polices which deprecated European culture, frowned on a national identity, lowered the birthrate, created a welfare state, imported 'guest workers', promoted mindless multiculturalism and relied on 'international' treaties for protection -- all articles of Leftist faith -- are now facing the judgment of history; and worse, the verdict of Islam. [. . . . ]

James Kielland said...

By the second day I noted that much of the media's reporting of this was conspicuously lacking in any details as to the demographics of the riots; it was as if the media was attempting to obscure something. But as Wretchard pointed out at 9:28 pm:

"There's a lot of money -- billions and billions -- invested in agendas which now turn out to be poison. Think of the reputations, academic departments, newspapers, lecture circuit engagements, films, books, think tanks, etc that would have to admit that they were founded not only on a mistake, but a lie."

Volpe lies to justify importing unemployable voters -- "Volpe insists immigrants' incomes catch up within 5 years; others disagree", Peter O'Neil, The Vancouver Sun, Friday, November 04, 2005

[. . . . ] "If reports are correct that Minister Volpe claims immigrant incomes on average catch up with the average incomes of other Canadians within five years of their arrival, I am shocked about his ignorance or blatant distortion of facts," Herb Grubel, author of the Fraser Institute report and a former Reform party MP, said in an e-mail.

"The minister should re-examine his proposals for the 40- per-cent increase in the number of immigrants in the light of the true facts and the serious negative implications they have for Canada's taxpayers."

[. . . . ] A 2004 research paper, commissioned by Statistics Canada and cited frequently by Citizenship and Immigration researchers in subsequent publications, is unequivocal.

"The economic welfare of recent immigrants deteriorated through the 1980s and 1990s," wrote author Garnett Picot. [. . . . ]

Muslims march over cartoons of the Prophet By Kate Connolly in Berlin, (Filed: 04/11/2005)

A Danish experiment in testing "the limits of freedom of speech" has backfired - or succeeded spectacularly - after newspaper cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed provoked an outcry. [. . . . ]

Jyllands-Posten, Denmark's leading daily, defied Islam's ban on images of the Prophet by printing cartoons by 12 different artists.

In one he is depicted as a sabre-wielding terrorist accompanied by women in burqas, in another his turban appears to be a bomb and in a third he is portrayed as a schoolboy by a blackboard. [. . . . ]
