April 2009

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times…

by Natasha on Thursday, April 30, 2009, 12:24 pm

I am proud of what we have achieved, but I am not content. I am pleased with our progress, but I am not satisfied.
To steal shamelessly from one of my favourite blogs — SDA — now is the time we juxtapose…
April 29, 2009: “I’m not a miracle worker.”

by Natasha on Wednesday, April 29, 2009, 9:37 am · 3 comments

Alberta kangaroo courts awarded a 25% pay raise for their abusive bullying and censorship by Alberta’s premier, Ed Stelmach.

Give them a break — they’ve never heard of PhotoShop

by Natasha on Tuesday, April 28, 2009, 2:57 pm

White House schedules a photo-op:
Air Force One Flyby Of Goldman Sachs Tower

Gee, who could have foreseen this was a bad idea? And I wonder what the whole stunt cost? Good to know the economy’s back on track and the U.S. government can, once again, spend the “surplus” on important things like photo-ops.

Mark Steyn’s new book Lights Out: Islam, Free Speech And The Twilight Of The West is not currently for sale in Canada.

A 2005 quote from Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
(pronounced “I’m-a-nutjob”):
“We say that this fake regime [Israel] cannot logically continue to live. Open the doors [of Europe] and let the Jews go back to their own countries.”
Fast forward to 2009 and the Durban II misnamed anti-racism conference:
In his opening speech, Ahmadinejad proceeded to name Israel as a [...]

The real racists showed up

Durban II:
Turning liberalism on itself
When Iran, Libya and Cuba, the three countries particularly active in organizing Durban II, cast themselves as beacons of anti-racism and human rights, and everyone nods politely because they want to be tolerant and co-operative, part of the dialogue, you know the lunatics have grabbed the keys to the asylum.

Freedom of speech: No longer an American concept?

by Natasha on Saturday, April 25, 2009, 10:00 am

Wake up, Americans. You are getting very close to losing your First Amendment rights. In Canada, we’ve become all too aware that freedom of speech is no longer a guaranteed Canadian charter right, thanks to the high-profile persecutions of Ezra Levant and Macleans/Mark Steyn.

The rank hypocrisy of the UN’s Durban II

by Natasha on Monday, April 20, 2009, 10:38 am · 5 comments

From UN Watch:
In an unprecedented coup, the rank hypocrisy of Durban II was exposed before the world this week when UN Watch surprised the Libyan chair — by bringing a victim of Qaddafi torture to confront her on Libya’s brutal torture and scapegoating of five Bulgairan nurses and a Palestinian doctor.
