DUC IN ALTUM

Partager ce billet

A 40-year-old man is in custody in Manitoba after a young man was stabbed — and, witnesses said, decapitated — aboard a Greyhound bus travelling through the province overnight.

It appears that indeed, he was decapitated.

Police arrived at the bus about 10 minutes after the incident began, according to witnesses. The attacker mocked police as they closed the highway in both directions and surrounded the bus. RCMP officers led the passengers on to school buses where they waited for the standoff to end. From their seats, they could see the attacker dangling his victim’s head from his hand. “He picked the head up, looked at the cops, dropped the head and walked back to the body,” Cody Olmstead, who was seated three seats in front of the incident, told the Free Press.

So what do we think of all this?

Does this inspire trust or fear?

Perhaps it inspires terror in those who travel by bus?

The Prime Minister said the Liberal proposal to combat greenhouse gases by hiking taxes on fossil fuels – and offsetting those with income and corporate tax cuts – “is the last thing that Canada needs now.

“Those prices increased a lot recently. And Stéphane Dion thinks it’s a good time to impose a massive new tax to energy users?” Harper said, according to a prepared text of his remarks.

He said Dion’s explanations of the Liberal proposal were “incomprehensible.

“But it is very simple – it’s a tax that hurts people who use energy,” Harper said.

“In other words, this new tax, invented by the Liberals ^{(emphasis by me)}, will hurt everyone – and everything without exception,” he said.

“I give you my word. As long as I will be prime minister … there will be no new taxes.”

I just wish the 41^st President of the United States had never said “Read my lips…”

David Suzuki must be so disappointed…  I’m sure he’s out there, somewhere weeping.  Or throwing another hissy fit.

Neither he or the puppetmaster are getting credit for inventing the Carbon Taxe sham.  You may remember that Suzuki was having wet dreams of pulling 50B$ out of thin air with his Canadian Carbon Tax.  None of it would come from regular folks like us, of course.  Noooo, he’d never do that to us, now would he?   No, just the big blue Meannies who produce oil…and those who use oil.

This blog mentions that David Suzuki is leaving Canada anyway, in some kind of swap between Australian and Canadian environmentalists.  A change of scenery will do him good.

It was thought that the trade was motivated by the fact that Dr. Suzuki and Maude Barlow suffer from a rare medical condition called demographic lockjaw that apparently can only be relieved by foreign travel to Australia. Dr. Suzuki has never been able to say publicly that Canada is in overshoot, but while he is in Australia, a country in the same ecological boat, he has no problem finding his tongue and telling interviewers that the land is overpopulated.

Actually, that’s not true.  In a recent interview on CHOM FM radio, Suzuki planted a question (read by Ted Bird) about over population, and his answer was “education”.  The more education you offer women-in India, for example- the less children they have.  No mention on Canada’s population though.  Or Australia for that matter.

On that day, Suzuki even mentioned the griping against him, mentionning that CO² levels and sunspots, but didn’t take a single second to offer a rebuttle.  Of course, he couldn’t since THE SUN’S ACTIVITY IS WHAT MOST LIKELY INFLUENCES EARTH’S SURFACE TEMPERATURE, he could never have offered any actual proof of anything else being the #1 cause.  And he didn’t mention that according to measurements made in Antarctica, current CO² levels are extremely LOW (385ppm).

But why bother a good story with facts, right?

#1: They are already here… (not just muslims, but radical muslims who side with bin Laden and would approve Sharia Law being applied in Canada)

^{” …don’t tell..”}

#2: They do have an agenda (there once was a caliphate, they would love to see one cover the whole world-radical muslims would love that, not necessarily muslims at large)

^{“…take back Rome…”}

#3: Liberals will not fight terrorism (nor will they realise they’re under attack until it is too late)

^{Neville Chamberlain was honest and proud…and WRONG.}

#4: Our boys are the good guys (and it’s not an occupation. It’s just as valid as WWII, WWI, Corea, Viet Nam, Yom Kippur, the Boer war, the American Revolution or fighting the British by the Patriotes or fighting Ghengis Khan… whatever. Our side is the good side. That’s why we like “our side”. That’s why we stay here and why we plan to never, EVER leave this place.)

…they’d make a killing with Canada’s defense spending.

OTTAWA — Canada will lease up to eight Russian-built helicopters to ferry supplies around the battlefield in Afghanistan until it gets new U.S. choppers, says Defence Minister Peter MacKay.

It is a stopgap measure meant to get Canadian army supply convoys off the bomb-laced roads of Kandahar, where explosives have been taking an increasingly deadly toll.

Securing helicopter transport was a principal condition of the Manley commission report last winter and a key caveat of Parliament’s extension of the combat mission until 2011. The Conservative government was given until February 2009 to come up with the helicopters and a flight of unmanned surveillance planes.

A $375 million deal to acquire six CH-47-D Chinook’s from the U.S. Army has been worked out, but those heavy-lift aircraft will not arrive until late this year - or early next.

Imagine the joy in the eyes of the locals when we drop shit with the choppers of their former enemy.  How happy they’ll be to see that.  Ah, the memories…

Many thanks go out to Jean Chretien and all those out there who complain about military spending. We’re paying more now because of political sabottage years ago.

And the lives of our troops require these choppers, so we will get them into Afghanistan. But we look like the Welfare Army of NATO. The taliban must be laughing their behinds off. They must think we’re on the edge of bankrupcy with our old generation CF-18’s, our rented Russian cargo planes, our freshly repainted Leopard tanks.

Do we even know how old our Hercules airplanes are? 30 years, is it? I don’t even want to google that info.

Why is this post in the “Heroes” catergory?

At least the C7A2 is making us look good. That’s something.

And the bravery of our troops. That’s worth a lot.

God bless my troops and the miracles they’re doing with duct tape and rubberbands!

Poor little Natalie Morin who’s locked up in her new Saudi home with her kids.  Can’t even hold a puppy as she cries herself to sleep at night.   Best of luck, Natalie.  Good luck in your new life.

Found this on LFG… Our friends the Saudis…

Saudi Arabia’s religious police have announced a ban on selling cats and dogs as pets, or walking them in public in the Saudi capital, because of men using them as a means of making passes at women, an official said on Wednesday.

So perhaps the egyptians I mentioned last week all had dogs?… Or do they have another excuse to hit on women they’re not married to?

I think they shouldn’t hit the women they’re married to either. But that’s just my upbringing talking. And it’s a bit off topic. And I don’t care.

…and good riddance.  *grumbles under his breath*  ^{“…liberal rubbish…”}

So, a poll says that Netanyahu is in the lead to replace Olmert.   This of course is good news to me, but polls are polls and no poll ever expected Jean Chretien to win in a landslide, or Mario Dumont to nearly miss becoming Quebec’s premier instead of Charest.

Netanyahu, although he is my favorite, will still work under Israel’s President Shimon Perez, who as you may know is even more liberal than Olmert.

So this isn’t a done deal.

Penn and Teller - Bullshit! - Environmental Hysteria

Dear friends, this is an unconfirmed report but my spy wouldn’t lie about such things.

Rumor has it that an immense Mosque has been build next door to the Ste. Anne de Beaupré basilica.

No pictures of this mosque can be found at this time on the net. My spy happened to go to the basilica this past week and was shocked to see a huge mosque close to the place of pilgrimage.

^{image found here.}

My first thought was: WTF? There are no muslims in Beaupré. Only backward descendants of farmers. And I’d know, my first year of highschool was done just behind this magnificent building, barely visible on the left hand side, the Séminaire St Alphone (where the motto DUC IN ALTUM originated).

My second thought was: My god. This blessed location has been soiled by radicals.

And you’ll have a hard time convincing me of the contrary. There are no friggin muslims there. If there are now, they’ve been there since 1999, not before. What a shame (if this is true).

Who on earth can afford to build a huge mosque? Locals? Of course not. Then whom?

IF there really is a mosque next door to the Ste Anne de Beaupré basilica, then I will be asking if Saudi money was involved.

I’m angry. If this is all true, then I oppose this mosque standing on the sacred ground where the Basilica stands. It’s an outrage.

But since I’m not a radical muslim terrorist, you can expect me NOT to start a riot, NOT to kill a muslim and NOT to burn a Saudi flag.

After all, I’m civilised and I don’t want us all to move backwards in time to live in the 7th century.

Meanwhile, radical muslim terrorists who financed a mosque so close to a Catholic icon can suck my junk.

Then again, perhaps I should be greatful that they didn’t destroy the basilica or convert it into a mosque directly.  They’ve been known to do that in the past.  Just look at Al Aqsa built over the Temple Mount.

The main feature of the shrine is the remarkable basilica, which is the second basilica and the fifth church to be built on the site. Lit by 240 stained glass windows, this imposing structure was built in 1923 to replace the first basilica, which had been destroyed by fire. The basilica’s twin steeples make it the tallest building in the area by far. The shrine has been a pilgrimage site since 1658.

Although in 1658, it was a small church, a chapel…

In 1658 Étienne Lessard, one of the first settlers, ceded some land for the construction of the first wooden chapel dedicated to Ste-Anne, who was especially venerated in NEW FRANCE.

I’m pissed.  This treads on me somehow.  I’m pissed that muslims built a mosque that close to a site of pilgrimage.  It’s wrong of them, they shouldn’t have done that (if, of course, it is comfirmed to be true…).

One comment which comes back quite often under this video is: “I thought I was alone in feeling this way”.

Well we’re not alone. It’s just that we’re spread out across a continent, and some of our friends across the pont feel that way too, and some down under feel that way too.

Without being radicals, without becoming cruisaders for Christianity, a lot of us just see what’s going on and we wonder how shopping malls can keep doing business with all that’s going on. But since the malls are still open, and since Paris Hilton is still in the news, it prevents us all from hiding under our beds.

But I do feel alone sometimes.  Often, actually.
