With all the attention being given to Omar Khadr, we Canadians tend to forget that we are harboring some other terrorist traitors; the rest of his family. How soon we forget that Omar’s terrorist producing mother Maha is living her in Canada, all the while criticising everything in our society as wrong.  She’s says she’s proud of her low life terrorist offspring! In addition to this;  she says she took her family away from Canada in the late eighties to live in Afghanistan because Canada had too many “drug addicts” and “homosexuals”. When the planes hit the World Trade Centre she said she thought to herself “let them have it”.

Abdul Khadr left Canada to fight for al-Qaida along with his brother Omar and his father Ahmed. Abdul hated Canada before he left but since he was paralyzed in a gun battle he loves our OHIP system because he’s back here putting a strain on it. It drives me nuts to think that you and I are paying for a terrorist’s medical bills while, life long tax paying citizens of Ontario can’t get past the line-up’s for medical services.

In addition to these lovely “Manson Family” like family members; brother Abdullah and sister Zaynab are terrorists too. Abdullah ran the al-Qaida training camps in in Afghanistan while the Zaynab did the books and recruited.

The question is why are we allowing these Khadr terrorists to live in our country when they seem to have renounced their Canadian citizenship on their own? I’d also like to know why the entire family isn’t being charged with treason for their actions against Canada and the free world.

I think a public firing squad for the whole family is in order; beginning with the Queen Bee Bitch Maha who produced these devil’s disciples in her terrorist womb.

I am always amazed at the position the Aboriginal leaders take when it’s convenient for them. For example, when I interviewed a Native leader in Saskatchewan once, he was very willing to except without argument, the science that says First Nations People have a disproportionate predisposition for addictions to alcohol and drugs when they want the massive amounts of government funding to fight the Diseases of Addiction.  That same Native leader called another journalist a racist because he mentioned that the Aboriginal population has a problem with drugs and alcohol in a column.  Interesting huh?

In recent years I have followed the First Nations reactions to court rulings with the same interest. Have you noticed that when the courts rule in their favor, the court’s decision is always “just” in their minds and “about time”?  However, when the courts  rule against them with a simple injunction like “stay off the construction sites in Brantford”;  they see it as unfair, biased, racist and illegal. It’s funny how that works huh?

If you want the Courts to work for you, you have to except their decisions. You can’t pick and choose which rulings you agree or disagree with;  that’s how our mainstream society works.

Morgentaler is a member of the Order of Canada. He got in because of his long fight to provide legalized abortions in Canada. Some people say it was because he gave women new Health-care options; which is  more politically correct terminology.  Many Canadians are appalled by the fact that he’s in the Order of Canada with who they consider real “heroes”.  Still other say that “legalized abortion”  is one of the the greatest moments in women’s history. I disagree with that. I think that “legalized abortion” should be on th list, but not at the top!   Twenty-five years ago women had certain jobs. They were stay at home Moms, they were nurses, they were waitresses, they were bank tellers, and seldom were any of them a managers .  Now a days women are into everything including the big management jobs.

This weekend for example our local television station had all women news. The anchor person, the weather person,  and the sports person were all female. Not long ago that was unheard of!  Our Rogers Radio Group has a great representation of women on all three of our stations; including KIX 106.7 with “Two Chicks”, Linda & Jen,  doing a morning show, which is also unheard of in this industry! Plus we have about a fifty-fifty split women/men ratio across the board  here including one of our top managers Wendy Duff who runs CHYM FM 96.7  Of course our 570 NEWS  team has more women than men including our morning and afternoon anchors; Lisa Drew and Kate Stockmann.

This morning Canada AM featured an all women team.  When Lloyd Robertson take a day off its Sandy Rinaldo or home town girl Lisa LaFlamme that fills in. Having a women do that job was unheard of a few years  ago!

In addition to this I see successful independent women in my life everyday. I can tell by what they’re driving, what they’re buying,  where they live,  and where they work  that they’re in good high paying positions that were unobtainable for women not so long ago. To me these thing strike me as being some of the greatest moments in women’s history; not legalizing abortion. Heck I would think that women getting the vote back in the early part of the last century would be higher on the list than abortion rights; but that’s just me, and this is my final word on the subject.  “You Go Girls”.

Last Saturday morning at about 7:45am I was travelling along Regina Street in Waterloo when I noticed a young female city employee watering the hanging plants ever so lovingly. I also noticed that she was using water from a tank on a truck that said “Non Potable Water”.  What bugged me about this incident was that she was doing her job in the pouring rain!  “Potable water” or “Non Potable Water” makes no difference to me.  The simple fact is she could have been assigned another job to do rather than duplicate the job Mother Nature was doing.  It’s not wasted water I’m ticked about; it’s the dumb use of this employee that bothers me, and it should bother you too.

In my opinion the United Nations has never done it right since it’s inception. It needs to be dismantled and rebuilt from the bottom up. It just doesn’t work in it’s present format. I could go on and on but let me give you two words that say it all. Zimbabwe and Mugabe. If the U.N can’t or won’t do anything about them, then let’s fold up the tent and go home!

I was struck by a story out of Japan that we will be discussing in detail on tomorrow morning’s show. In Japan where they have a state run Health Care system which is similar to ours; the government is now hammering companies with heavy fine if their employees are over a certain weight. One company is facing $19,000,000.00 in penalties if their workers don’t slim down because their “chubbiness” is costing the Health Care system a fortune. I wonder when someone in our “nanny state” government is going to suggest we start doing this here? First it was the smokers who everyone picked on, now it’s the obese. Can you just imagine how many Human Rights Tribunals we would have to go through if they tried something like that here in Canada? We’ll soon see, because I believe it’s coming sooner than later.

Recently Prime Minister Harper said; “the National Energy Program was designed to screw the west and really damage the energy sector and this will do those things, but this is different; it will actually screw everybody across the country.” Mr. Harper was talking about the Liberal party’s new proposal for a national carbon tax.  He also said that the Liberal plan was “crazy” and his party members have nicknamed the Liberal “green shift” plan the “green shaft”.  Liberal House leader Ralph Goodale accused the Prime Minister of being “loud, goonish and bordering on vulgar” as well as not telling the truth about the impact of the Liberal plan on Canadians.  Liberal party leader Stephane Dion reacted to the Prime Minister’s comments by saying; “it was vulgar and I don’t think Canadians are impressed by that, they want a Prime Minister to act as a Prime Minister.”

Well do you agree with Mr. Dion and Mr. Goodale? I don’t. I think it’s great that we finally have a Prime Minister who speaks in plain English.  Some of you may feel that the Prime Minster should be above using that kind of “colourful language” and you have a right to that opinion. I believe it’s 2008, times have changed, and we are more accepting of things today than generations before us.  Like the word “issue” that has become the politically correct word to describe almost anything so you don’t have to say what you really mean, “screwed” plays the same type role.  “Screw” means ” to be taken advantage of”  in  what seems like a million different ways. For example “screw” mean “extort”, It also means to pin or fasten anything that looks like a screw or nail like device, and in fairness it also has a  vague sexual meaning as well which is what the prudes are zeroing in on.  As far as I’m concerned this is not 1940, and “screw” or “screwed” are not  four letter words.  Lighten up you “conservative thinking” Liberals, next thing you know you another four letter word might be considered vulgar. It’s spelled D-I-O-N. How do you like them apples?

PS: On a challenge from a listener I called my 95 year old grandmother to ask her if she thought the Prime Minister’s remarks were vulgar and she said “yes they were”. 

I’m curious, you know when you drive on the expressway and you want to head to Cambridge or the 401. When you hit the “fly over” to the 401 the posted speed limit is 60K; have you ever seen anyone drive that slowly….ever?  What a joke, the other day I slowed down to 75K and there was a truck and a car in my back seat!!! They were honking at me!  A better question would be; have you ever slowed down to the posted speed limit on that “fly over”? I’ll bet, like me, you haven’t…..you’ll get killed!  While I’m at it I’d like to point to the most logical place in the world for a “roundabout”. I travel to my parents home in London through Tavistock always. I’ve gone through that five corner intersection a hundred times or more in their wonderful town and every time I get there, I’m still confused. I honestly never remember who has the right of way! If there was ever an intersection that cried out for a “roundabout” this is it!

The wimpy NATO members who have avoided helping out in  combat operations in Afghanistan will end up paying for it sooner or later.  If we don’t hammer the Terrorists back into the Stone Age there will be hell to pay around the world because these radical Islamic warriors are gaining confidence and strength in the wake of recent events like the prison break-out on the weekend. Let’s get in there and clear these murderers out and be done with them now; instead of doing it down the road in our own backyards. If we aren’t going to act collectively, then let’s come home so that we don’t waste more time, money and human lives. The way we’re (Canada) doing this is wrong. If our partners aren’t in; then lets get out too. Remember the old commercial; “pay me now, or pay me later.” If we don’t put into it what we need now, we’ll fail. It’s as simple as that.
