Researchers have grown replacement penis tissue for rabbits from the animals' own cells. The erectile tissue was then implanted and the rabbits apparently went on to screw like rabbits, successfully reproducing. According to the scientists at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, this was t... More.

Michael Jackson's funeral cost one million dollars. His final outfit cost $35,000, and the flowers cost $16,000. Lord. Obviously I'm no MJ anyhow, but when I die, if there's a mil lying around? Feel free to bury me in nekkid dirt and use the rest to feed pie to starving kids.... More.

I bet today, being Friday, is a good day to bury things on the news. So...my prediction is by the end of today we will have someone come out and say Van Loan misspoke. Not lying, not misleading, but misspoke. I'm not sure how that will fly...since it's not actually true.
I'm tired of the lies...
But has any other Canadian noticed the new disclaimer at the end of the home renovation tax credit ads...SUBJECT TO PARLIMENTARY APPROVAL.
Couple that with the new US ambassador to Canada pushing us to bring our copyright legislation up to US standards, and a quarter of us should be awaiting prosecution by Easter. Fantastic.

Love that new Olympic logo: just like the Conservatives' Party logo!

was going to become passe.
Silly me.
It's should be punishable under criminal law. An executive who lies to their shareholders is punishable, why is our government, who has far more stakeholders and money involved not held to the same standards?
#6- for the obvious reason- politicians who don't lie don't get elected. Every time I see a politician realistically assess an issue during an election I can then predict with certainty that their opponent- and specifically the opponent whose solution requires the least effort from the public- will win.
the result being all politicians in office are liars to a certain degree and prosecuting them would mean removing all elected officials from office.
Again the conservative party proves they cannot be trusted. My privacy should not be invaded because a few individuals act unethically. If that were the case in every case we would have no rights because the second acted unethically we would all lose those rights.
Stop the conservative party's erosion of Canadian's rights here and abroad now.
"the result being all politicians in office are liars to a certain degree and prosecuting them would mean removing all elected officials from office."
And the problem with that is..??
One thing worth keeping in mind:
Canada, unlike the US, DOES have a broad spectrum privacy law. US privacy laws apply only to medical and financial information, and the laws covering each of those is separate from the other.
The USA Patriot Act is such a clear violation of privacy that most personal information about Canadians can't be kept on a server or NAS physically located in the US.
