For those of you that don’t know already, Andrew Coyne’s going to be live blogging C-Sixer Mark Steyn’s little chinwag with the B.C. Human Lefts Tribunalâ„¢ today, starting at 12:30 EST (in about 20 minutes) and going until… well, whenever the clowns get tired and decide to fold up the tent, I guess… Pop over and click your refresh button from time to time to keep updated.
Naturally, I’ll be brazenly plagiarizing/stealing the choicest tidbits and sticking them in this post as the days go on… 😉
This was driving me absolutely batshit. Really, it was.
No, I don’t mean the Human Lefts Commissions (although they do drive me batshit). I’m talking about that nagging, gnawing, “where the hell have I seen this before” deja drive-you-outta-yer-skull vu sensation. It bugged me for damned near two full days. It all started when I tripped over this vid in the first place. It shows Ezra Levant taking a bit out of Ian Fine’s little weasel ass. Check it out:
That’s where it started. And nevermind, just for now, the sheer and utter hypocrisy of what the son of a bitch keeps saying. Forget that, just for a few. I kept looking at Fine mewling about how they didn’t do this and they didn’t do that, with Ezra beating him over the head with the evidence the whole time, and part of my brain was screaming, over and over and over again, “YOU’VE SEEN THIS BEFORE, YOU’VE SEEN THIS BEFORE, YOU’VE SEEN THIS BEFORE!!!!!” It was a pain in the ass, believe me. And then, like a bolt from the blue, it hit me…
Thanks to the Doggerel Party, I am giggling entirely too much.
TDPC researchers have investigated, and can report that no, they are not related. One is a megalomaniac bent on power, domination, harrassment of those less fortunate and money, while the other simply runs a power utility.
Well now, isn’t this nice? And here I was yesterday, wondering just where the MSM had disappeared to when it came to covering this story. The Google search is still only coughing up one result so far (from CHQR in Cowtown), but I guess that’s a start.
The lovely Hunter over at Climbing Out Of The Dark, however, has managed to dig up a little something more (she’s such a cool chick). Here’s a vid from YouTube showing Ezra on Mike Duffy Live.
Still nary a peep from the Ceeb, though. Interesting, that; don’t you think?
Hunter also brings up another interesting question in her post: WHERE THE HELL ARE ALL THE TORIES?
As most of you likely know by now, Ezra Levant spilled the beans earlier today about the fact the it looks like the RCMP has begun a criminal investigation into the ongoing skulduggery being perpetrated by Canada’s so-called “Human Rights Commission” (a mind-numbingly hypocritical title if ever there was one).
Something like this is news. Big news. Big, big, big. Here’s a little tidbit for you:
Just how bad does it have to get before the government stops saying that the CHRC follows “procedures specified by the law”? We’ve got the Privacy Commissioner and the RCMP investigating now. What does it take to get the government’s attention — a NATO airstrike?
And how about the claim that the government is “monitoring” the CHRC to ensure that it “remains effective”. Effective at what? Hacking Internet accounts? Shredding their records and deleting their hard drives? Staying out of jail? What exactly about the CHRC’s conduct could be called “effective”?
Question: when the RCMP investigates CHRC staff, will the CHRC pay for their criminal lawyers? If so, is that an indication that those CHRC staff hacked the website in the course of their duties?
Like I said, Big News. Big, biggitty, big-big-big. So… why is it, then, that CBC the Ministry Of What You Should Think has diddly, CTV has squat, and when I type in “CHRC RCMP” into a Google news search, all I get is…

Not a whole lot of time lately, seeing as how I’ve been in SQL hell for the last 36 hours or so (don’t ask), so for today, I’ll just slap up a bunch of stuff that’s managed to catch my eye so far today. Hey, it’s what I do when I don’t have time to rant.
His Dorkness, Dion, seems to be back banging away on the “Scary Tory Agenda®” drum yet again. Is it just me, or is anyone else out there getting bored silly with this? If this is the best the Librano$ can pull off, how soon can we have our election already??
Liberal leader Stephane Dion says the minority Conservative government’s record contains a clear pattern that constitutes an undeclared “war on federal institutions” that, if left unchecked, could permanently destroy public confidence in vital organizations.
Speaking of bitch-slapping governmental institutions, Ezra has a post today on one little machiavellian machine that he Hypogrits set in motion that’s desperately in need of killing but the Tories have somehow managed to overlook:
Now let me state the obvious: the decision by the Justice Department to intervene was made before Rob Nicholson was the minister — even before the Conservatives were the government. It was made when Irwin Cotler, the Liberal, was minister, if I’m not mistaken. Ever since then, federal lawyers have been beavering away in support of section 13, along with other tax-paid lawyers from the CHRC (and the gaggle of Jewish censors from the Canadian Jewish Congress, B’nai Brith and the Simon Wiesenthal Center).
Putting aside politics, if a previous Justice Minister instructed his lawyers to intervene in support of censorship, it’s those lawyers’ duty to do so until their instructions change. And, since the Conservatives have not yet changed course on section 13 — or any other aspect of the Canadian Human Rights Commission — it should not be surprising that Justice Department lawyers are still serving up the kind of junk history and psychobabble that is evident in this memorandum.
As a nice little local note, London City Council seems to be growing a brain. It’s starting to look like $70 grand of local taxpayers’ bucks isn’t going to get pissed away in yet another dumbass “study” that will do nothing more that give more money to the Professional Studying Crowd. Seriously, kids, if London needs a performing arts centre that damned bad, let the damned rich snoots (who will be the only ones that go there anyway) pay for the friggin’ thing:
Coun. Stephen Orser takes it even further — Londoners simply don’t want a performance centre that, in his view, would cater to the rich.
“I’m not a wealthy person nor are most people in Ward 4 and this shouldn’t be placed on our backs,” he said. “We should stop this at the consultant’s stage right now.”
… with twice the politically correct jargon!
This was driving me absolutely batshit. Really, it was.
Well now, isn’t this nice? And here I was 
Something’s got me wondering. Big time.
