No, This isn't the Land of Mordor

Although you could be forgiven for thinking it is. No, this is a wee bit o' North Burnaby, south and east around the foot of Burnaby Mountain from my place.

This devastated landscape results from the presence of not one, but two pipelines, one gas, one oil.

Gut-wrenching to look at, I know, but I'm such a slave to fashion that well, I just must "raise your awareness", mustn't I?

Hello, Kitimat.

Gee, Big Props to the Sedin Twins For Sure

The hockey world is singing the praises of the brothers from Örnsköldsvik after they led Sweden to a World Championship Sunday in Stockholm.
Golly, its really something to see what these two can do when they're motivated, when they really give a poop.
Unlike, say, oh, for example, how they play for the Vancouver Canucks in the Stanley Cup playoffs.
Good thing management has the team married to them for another two years year* at stupid money.
Congrats on that too, guys.

*Thanks to TEAM 1040's Matt Baker for pointing out its only (well ... ) one more year.

Klahowya, Elijah Harper

He will be a legend.

I understand this graffito was a common sight in Manitoba in the day,

and I'd like to echo that. Yeah, thanks, Elijah. Mîkwêc. Hyas mahsi.

Another Victory for Acceptance and Inclusion

Human rights advocates are applauding Poughkeepsie Sasquatches defenceman Owen Weirdeau who has come out as the first openly deft professional athlete.
Weirdeau, who appeared at a press conference called by the team, was accompanied by his partner, Poopsie, who declined to speak.
"There's still so much rampant coprophobia out there," said the Toronto native. "People use horrible words like "coprophilia", they think like we're mentally ill, like what we do is sick and disgusting somehow, like its something abnormal. Like we need treatment or something."
Democrat US Senator Dianne Feinstein immediately pledged to introduce legislation recognizing the right of the deft community to marry their partners.
"There is absolutely no reason marriage should be so narrowly defined as being between humans and the animate." Feinstein declared at an ACLU rally in Altoona. "Nothing can be a higher priority than addressing this horrible injustice."
In Ottawa, Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau, addressing an audience of elementary school students, called on Stephen Harper to "quit destroying Canada for at least as long as it takes to recognize deft marriage as an inalienated, university human right."

I can do this. How bout some briefs?...

Republican Senator Greg Ball wants to torture Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the child charged in the Boston Marathon incident. Critics say Senator Ball, a Republican, is typical of the cruelty inherent in the Republican Party.

Investigators have been questioning Dzhokhar Tsarnaev about what drove he and his brother to act out in such an unfortunate way. So far, all that's known for sure is it all had nothing to do with a great Religion of Peace™.

Justin Trudeau, Liberal Party Leader and son of the late, great Prime Minister, wowed yet another adoring throng of average Canadians at Carleton University yesterday. Analysts say Trudeau's clearly vast intelligence, deep insight and grasp of issues are keys to his universal appeal.

CAIR-Canada is concerned the recent incidents involving the Boston Marathon and Via Rail will only add to the epidemic of Islamophobic attacks the vast majority of Muslims are already enduring. They're recommending Canada adopt Shariah law as a remedy. Many leading analysts agree.

Clashes between Israeli forces and Palestinian people have many leading analysts wondering what it will take for Israel to finally agree to peace in the Middle East.

By George, I think I've got it!

Mainstream? Not Even Close

@kshaidle @ezralevant "1.95 per cent of British Columbians flipped the switch"Means 98% said #EarthHourSucks news1130.com/2013/03/24/not…
— DavidinNorthBurnaby (@DavidinNorthBur) March 24, 2013

So, 98% of British Columbians don't play along with Live Like North Korea Hour despite its relentless hyping by the so-called "mainstream media".
In Alberta, its the proverbial lead balloon. Again.

While, here in Burnaby, out of about 300,000 people, the same "almost 200" (wow!) who don't like pipelines, get top of the news coverage from the local "MSM" of their every utterance and stunt.

Time and again I notice something, and I know I'm not alone. The so-called "mainstream media" really aren't mainstream at all, are they?

I mean, come on, the numbers would dictate (demonstrated public interest = sponsors. And the reverse is true) that Gaia Worshipers' Self-Flagellation Hour should have merited no more than a passing mention at most, not the in your face biggest-damn-thing-imaginable treatment it and its associated week, day, fortnight etc. recieve from the soi-disant "mainstream" media.

These fringe loony events are clearly not all that interesting or meaningful to the overwhelming preponderance of the populace (who have their heads screwed on straight. Well, straighter at least.)

Ninety-eight percent of British Columbians gave Lets Live Medieval Hour a pass.
So, what wasn't covered by the "MSM" while they were giving Maurice Strong Hour (I got a million of 'em) coverage worthy of a manned landing on Mars? That meets a welcoming committee.

And when it comes to pipeline expansion, the story is clearly that Burnaby is fine with it.
300,000 to 200.
#PipeBabyPipe

You know, someone's going to have to come up with a better handle, just the right handle, for this bunch as they dodder off to the trash can of history. Twitter might be just the medium, you know #NewNameForMainstreamMedia sort of thing.

Hmmmmm, let's see, Dinomedia? Sunset Media? Progprop Media? Last Century Media? That's a bit long. Nicely descriptive, though ... Flushing Themselves Media ... Huh? Oh, right, sorry. Anyway,
 

Let me nutshell this, its about perspective. Take another look at that pic up top.

Lefty David Goodhart in the Mail Online:

... gradually, I have changed my mind.


Over 18 months of touring the country to talk to people about their lives for a new book, I have discovered minority Britons thriving more than many liberals suppose possible. But I also saw the mess of division and conflict we have got ourselves into in other places.

I am now convinced that public opinion is right and Britain has had too much immigration too quickly.

For 30 years, the Left has blinded itself with sentiment about diversity. But we got it wrong. ...

Well, better far too late than never, Dave. Right?

Of course, for "immigration" we could sub any number of issues and the piece would still be oh so true, n'est pas?

Allow Me to Illustrate

You see, while this might well be considered "ridiculing", perhaps "belittling", perhaps even both, there's no way it constitutes anything to do with anything like "extreme detestation". So, while the truth is now no defense, as we now know, this pic is nonetheless currently Kosher in Canerduh.
Currently.
So you can govern yourself (ironic phrase to use, n'est pas?) accordingly.

And watch for future wise rulings from Canerduh's exalted High (careful!) Court including:

Ignorance is strength ...

All part of the service.

Caleb McMillan - Free Pass to Lake Louise and Nakiska? Just Wear Your Work Uniform

Caleb983 (see blogroll)  over at the Ludwig von Mises Institute:

 ... right now eight RCMP goons are hitting the slopes to bust ski-bums with measly amounts of marijuana and water-bottles filled with watered down vodka. ...

... The other important thing to note is the nature of this program: it’s volunteer work. The RCMP are required to volunteer some of their off-duty time in the community. Typically, this has been in soup-kitchens or at the Salvation Army. It seems that eight guys with guns have found a loophole to this pesky community service problem by creating a “need” for police presence at ski-hills. A place where there is absolutely no need for this kind of enforcement.  ...

Not a bad gig if you can get it, Dudley.

Ann Coulter; From Both Sides of Her Mouth

Free people are not in the habit of providing reasons why they "need" something like firearms simply because the government wants to ban it.

Egyptian Scholar: Christian Copts Must Pay Jizya

... “If non-Muslims were to learn the meaning of ‘jizya,’ they would ask for it to be applied — and we will apply it, just like Islam commands us to.” His logic is that, if Christians pay the jizya, they would buy for themselves “protection,” hence why they themselves should want to pay it. ...

How does that strike you? Sound good? You know, you get to cower in the market square while you pay your jizya. Whaddya think? Hmm? Hmm?
Of course, if you don't happen to be a Christian, then your choices become Islam or death, no paying the jizya for you. So there's that.

Queen's Icky Tum Stirs Bigears Fears

Seems even the Brits are less than thrilled at the prospect of "Prince" Bigears taking over.

Without the goodwill that the Queen generates, a Charles-headed monarchy will be subject to both mistrust and ridicule.

"Ridicule"?? The Royals?? Shocking! What sort of, of, churl could be so, well, churlish, as to ever even dream of doing such a thing?
