Not yet built: the Canadian Human Rights Museum is hiring?


Seems that despite all of the unresolved budgetary issues surrounding Winnipeg's ultimate vanity project, the Canadian Human Rights Museum, that its powers that be are actively seeking to hire historians. Weird. There's no building yet, no consensus on content, and no direction ... hmm, putting the cart before the horse? How are Asper & co. going to pay the salaries?

In Stephen Harper's world: even suicide is no way out

The Harper government has quietly nixed recommendations to expand and modernize Canada's access-to-information and privacy laws.

Our national politics getting you down? Is our federal government not living up to your expectations, here, here, and here? Are you not getting the information you need? Are ya feeling like it's all a sham? Are ya feeling pressured? Are things turning to shit? Is your ally your enemy? Do you see no way out? Desperation and despair setting in? Need to find a solution to your woes? Hmm, ... maybe this will cheer you up?

Did that help? D'ya feel better? No? Well have you been to your local library lately? Maybe they can help get you the information you need? Oopsie... apparently some of them can't!

"The Vancouver Public Library has told an Australian group that it can't use the library's public meeting rooms to hold a suicide workshop for the terminally ill.

'What we do at these gatherings is to, first of all, explain to people why we think it's a good idea to know how to kill yourself peacefully and reliably,' said Nitschke ... 'We provide people with the information they would need to be able to take that course, knowing it will succeed, that it won't fail, that they won't end up in a worse situation than the one they're currently in'."

[AGAIN- for emphasis] ... 'We provide people with the information they would need ... [so] that they won't end up in a worse situation than the one they're currently in.'

YEAH, WE SHOULD ALL BE SO LUCKY!

New Taser rules: Shoot for their Nuts!



Winnipeg police are being retrained in how to use stun guns after new guidelines were set down by the manufacturer, Taser International.

After years of denying that their product was causing unnecessary fatalities, it appears Taser International is tacitly admitting that maybe, just maybe, getting a jolt of electricity directly into one's heart might not be safe. (No e'ffn kidding!) As such, Winnipeg Police officers have been instructed to -- "to refrain from targeting the chest area, to avoid an impact on the heart."

About time!


Ironically, despite having issued new guidelines, Taser International, is still trying to maintain (with a straight face?) that their product has "never been directly blamed for a death." I call BULLSHIT!

John Lennon must be spinning in his grave tonight!

"... as these things start to occur, raise yourselves erect and lift YOUR heads up, because YOUR deliverance is getting near." Luke 21:28

Um, umm... Jeezeeus! Stephen Harper singing a Beatles ditty with Yo-yo Ma at an 'elitist' gathering? Egad, I hardly know where to start.

Ahhh, ... [Christ, my head is spinning, I feel faint]... now he's telling us he "gets high with a little help from his Friends"! WTF? Jack, Gilles & Harpo are smoking doobies together!

Can someone please refresh my memory again: what exactly are the first signs of an apocalypse?

And could this be one of them?
