’Where is all the money?’: Pace of aid effort frustrates Sandy survivors
’Where is all the money?’: Pace of aid effort frustrates Sandy survivors Do you remember the hug Obama gave Christie and the words "We will not forget you". It was just a photo op folks, just like Clinton and Bush in Haiti. It's not rocket science to figure this out, just start thinking with your own head.

Eskimo Fan Radio w/Allan Holender Episode-7 08/14 by CLNSRadio | Sports Podcasts In case you missed last night's interview with Tom Higgins. A few surprises and why I have changed my mind about a few things. Tom was gracious and very accommodating. He went to great lengths to explain what happened on that fateful night in Montreal in the last few seconds. Eskimo fans listen up!

NDP suspicious of timing on alleged terrorism plot arrests Monday and anti-terrorism bill debate in House
NDP suspicious of timing on alleged terrorism plot arrests Monday and anti-terrorism bill debate in House
So what's happened to our little peace loving country. Well, after years of Conservative rule, we have managed to stick our noses into countries we have no business being in. Do you remember the days, when we wore United Nations arm bands and were loved by countries because we were seen as peace makers, not war mongers. Stephen Harper has been in lock step with countries who are used to this sort of thing. Always being in war, always in turmoil, conflict, always being hated.

Stephen Harper has been in lock step with countries who are used to this sort of thing. Always being in war, always in turmoil, conflict, always being hated.
For some reason, and only his psychiatrist knows for sure , he wants to play with the big boys, he wants to be a bully just like them. Maybe he was a skinny nerdy kid when he was a child and bullied. And just like some who have been bullied, they want to be in a position of power so that they can have pay back. So they might become policemen, marines, and yes even politicians. There seems to be a preoccupation with Harper, Baird and certainly Toews to want to protect us from those who would harm us. Just who are these people that would bring harm to us?
How many grain elevators have been bombed, hockey rinks destroyed, tractors blown up and dairy farms sprayed with chemical weapons of mass destruction? None...zero ..nada. As a matter of fact not one civilian has been even inconvenienced more than long delays at airports. Yet here we are on April 23,2013 and our government wants to bring in legislation that in fact will take away our civil liberties in a way that can only be described as paranoia and power seeking.
Ours is a country of 35 million people, most of whom reside in four major cities, by order of size: Greater Toronto 5.5 million, Greater Montreal 2 million, Winnipeg 633,000,Vancouver 602,000. There has never been a terrorist attack or loss of lives from an outside source in any of the aforementioned cities. That leaves others dotting the Canadian landscape that make up the rest of the population base, cities and towns also without incident. Halifax, Edmonton, Calgary, Regina, Saskatoon, Moose Jaw, etc etc.
The list of small town Canada is endless, because most of Canada is rural. We all are saddened by what happened in Boston and we are equally saddened by what happens with terrorist attacks in Britain, Iraq, New Delhi and wherever and whenever they are stricken.
But let's put our own country in perspective and start thinking with our own heads. Instead of attracting fear, paranoia and terrorism, let's start attracting that which our country used to be proud of; peace and civility, medical care and oh yes, hockey. That's as simple as it gets folks, don't let ego driven maniacal politicians lead us down their own dysfunctional road to salvation. Would you follow a psychopath or sociopath into a bank and help him rob it? It's what will happen if we don't stop the madness now.

PANADAMONIA
"$10 million for cute pandas. World-class fresh water research not so much," said Merkin Muffley.
Many other readers complained about the price tag, but the government says it isn't paying anything to host the pandas in Canada. Henry Nicholls, author of The Way of the Panda, says zoos will typically pay $1 million per pair per year, although the figure can vary. The Toronto Zoo has spent $8 million on a new enclosure and is expected to spend $2 million a year on maintenance.

Harsanyi: Al Gore is (very) rich and he thinks you're (very) stupid
Harsanyi: Al Gore is (very) rich and he thinks you're (very) stupid I watched Jon Stewart last night and got the same impression. He evaded the question of why he is in bed with the very people he has been condemning. His credibility is now zero, but his bank account now has 8 zeroes. And yes, he is very rich, and yes he does think you are all stupid. He knows he had you at "fear" and "consequences". The great human frailty.

Is the Prime Minister of Canada a Sociopath?
Is Stephen Harper a sociopath? Let's put him to the test and then you can form your own conclusion with the test results. Let me know what score you came up with and let's compare notes.
Sociopathy is a complex personality disorder. Sociopaths exhibit a wide variety of maladaptive behavior which makesthe condition difficult to diagnose. Sociopathy is not one trait; it is a syndrome—a cluster of related symptoms.
The following questionnaire is based on research and experiences of socialised sociopaths. For each trait, decide if it applies to the person you suspect may be a socialised sociopath, fully (2 points), partially (1 point) or not at all (0 points).
1) Do they have problems sustaining stable relationships, personally and in business?
2) Do they frequently manipulate others to achieve selfish goals, with no consideration of the effects on those manipulated?
3) Are they cavalier about the truth, and capable of telling lies to your face?
4) Do they have an air of self-importance, regardless of their true standing in society?
5) Have they no apparent sense of remorse, shame or guilt?
6) Is their charm superficial, and capable of being switched on to suit immediate ends?
7) Are they easily bored and demand constant stimulation?
8) Are their displays of human emotion unconvincing?
9) Do they enjoy taking risks, and acting on reckless impulse?
10) Are they quick to blame others for their mistakes?
11) As teenagers, did they resent authority, play truant and/or steal?
12) Do they have no qualms about sponging off others?
13) Are they quick to lose their temper?
14) Are they sexually promiscuous?
15) Do they have a belligerent, bullying manner?
16) Are they unrealistic about their long-term aims?
17) Do they lack any ability to empathise with others?
18) Would you regard them as essentially irresponsible?
A score of 25 or above suggests strong psychopathic tendencies. This does not mean the person is a potential mass-murderer: socialised psychopaths are not mad, nor do they have to resort to violence. Even so, a close professional or emotional relationship with a socialised psychopath is likely to prove a damaging experience.

Lest we forget Harper's role in all of this mess .
First , he promised Senate reform .... then he stacked the Senate with his own patronage appointments . He personally chose Brazeau , Wallen and Duffy not out their qualifications for the job but their ability to fundraise for him and in Brazeau's case to get the First Nations vote .
Second , he did not come clean ( transparency + accountability ) when he became aware that their personal expense claims were not kosher . He had every opportunity to do so but made a clear decision not to do so .
Third , then Harper made himself unavailable for questioning on his Senate scandal by travelling all around northern Canada and then the world .
Fourth , then he further makes himself unavailable by proroguing Canadian Parliament for the 4th time in 7 years .
Five , now he decides to throw his Senate appointees to the wolves in an attempt to completely absolve himself of any and all responsibility .
Rex buddy , how on earth can you discuss the current mess in the Senate without even a cursory mention of these critical points of larger context ?
Rex , I expect much more from you than you have provided in your analysis of affairs .
You are extremely bright , you know the big picture very well .... you have a ethical and moral responsibility as an investigative journalist to do a much better job than you have done here .
Our nation , our democracy , the truth itself deserves better from you
