The Hair Is Always Thicker On The Other Side Of The Scalp

Mulder

In light of the recent comments by left wing environmentalistas with regards to Minister Rona Ambrose’s hair, I just had to make a couple of personal observations.

1) I have typically found that people who put effort into their grooming tend to put similar effort into almost everything else they do in life. It has nothing to do with time to do one and not the other, but it is more an issue of someone who takes pride in everything they do. If Minister Ambrose puts a conscientous effort into her grooming then she probably puts the same effort into all other aspects of her life including her diligence with the Environment portfolio.

2) I can only imagine this unwarranted slam is an insult to every female in Montreal. Let me explain. I work in Ottawa and have travelled to many Canadian and American cities on business but I must point out that there is no city like Montreal when it comes to grooming. I don’t care if someone is a lowly clerk or receptionist to the highest level executive, the women in Montreal all put a lot of effort into their appearance. This goes for the short, the tall, the old, the young, the slim, the not so slim. They all put effort in to their hair, wardrobe and makeup. So when the lefties slam someone for having nice hair, they are insulting every woman in Montreal.

P.S. I have to point out that my sister owned a hair salon in Toronto a few years back that I helped name. That name was Hairdotcomb, I figured the websurfers out there might appreciate that one.

Smackdown – Minister of Defence Lays Into NDP MP Dawn Black

Mulder

This is from Thursday November 9th, 2006 – Oral Questions.

“Ms. Dawn Black (New Westminster-Coquitlam, NDP): Mr. Speaker, when it came to support for his war in Iraq, George Bush told fellow Americans, “You are either with me or against me”. After last night’s mid-term election results, it looks like the Americans are against him, with Republican after Republican getting booted from office for their support for this unpopular war.

When it comes to Afghanistan, will the government learn any lessons from last night, or will it stay the course and meet the same fate as its American cousins?

Hon. Gordon O’Connor (Minister of National Defence, CPC): Mr. Speaker, I consider that basically a silly question.

Some hon. members: Oh, oh!

The Speaker: Order, please. The Minister of National Defence has the floor.
Hon. Gordon O’Connor: Mr. Speaker, it is the equivalent of me asking the NDP if the election of Daniel Ortega will have changed its policies.”

Simply priceless Minister O’Connor, simply priceless.

Let's Help London North Centre Go Conservative!!

Mulder

The Blogging Tories are trying to help raise money for the by-election in London North Centre. I have decided to make the plunge and put a link to the donation page up at the top right corner of my page until the by-election at the end of November.

If you are interested in helping out, it is easy to make a small donation of $25 or $50 to their election fund via PayPal.

Just click the small link that says “Make A Donation” to help out.

And remember, when you make a political donation, you get a tax CREDIT worth 3/4 of the donation. i.e. if you donate $50, you will get $37.50 back so please take this into consideration when donating.

Strike Two For CTV On Stem Cell Research Stories

Mulder

After reading Joel over at Proud To Be Canadian with regards to Kate Wheeler promoting stem cell research healing hearts, I have to also point out that this is strike two against the CTV. They continue to promote ADULT STEM CELL RESEARCH SUCCESS but do not differentiate that ADULT STEM CELLS are what were used and not Embryonic Stem Cells. This lack of perspective means that many who are not scientifically familiar believe that all stem cell research is successful and worth investigating. We know this is not the case but the CTV doesn’t help educate others of this fact.

I must point you to CTV’s Strike One where they did not differentiate between the different types.

I must also point you to my story (or Ann Coulter’s) outlining the successes of ADULT and UMBILICAL Stem Cells and the lack of success using embryonic stem cells.

Spread the gospel please. The world needs to know that there IS a difference between the three types of stem cell research and which are proven successes (ADULT AND UMBILICAL) and which are not (EMBRYONIC). It is obvious that the MSM has ignored the differences and that they are manipulating people’s views by leaving out a description of these differences. Shame on the CTV.

Ex-London Mayor Has A Rocking Website

Mulder

Matt over at A Step To The Right has a post pointing people to go view the new advertisement released on Dianne Haskett’s website as part of her campaign to take the London North Centre seat that is up for grabs in the November 27th By-election.

As much as the ad is great, I just had to point out that even better than the ad is the opening flash sequence on Haskett’s website. The music is rocking, the news headlines are crisp and positive and the message is great.

Haskett should turn that into an advertisement!!!

Take a look/listen for yourself.

This riding has special meaning to me as I lived in it for three years while going to the Unversity of Western Ontario. First in a townhouse on Limberlost, then in a small apartment off of Sarnia Rd. and then in a house just North of Oxford on the west side of Wharncliffe Rd. near the railroad tracks.

I hope Haskett can pull a rabbit out of the hat and steal this seat. She certainly has the background and history in London.

Income Trust Teaches Us The Meaning Of Diversification

Mulder

Every investment advisor teaches new investors the meaning of having a “diversified” portfolio. This is a way we hedge against a particular sector being hit too hard and wiping out our savings. It involved looking at how risky you are willing to get and then balancing your portfolio to ensure a proper distribution between growth funds, income funds, sector funds, bond funds and any others you may want to be invested in.

I myself started my RRSP when I got my first full time job because I read a great book called The Wealthy Barber which taught me a lot about investing. It taught me the value of life insurance. It taught me the value of dollar cost averaging and it taught me the value of diversification so that when a particular sector gets hit for ANY reason, the savings don’t get completely wiped out.

If you held a big percentage of your savings in Income Trusts or if your financial advisor had you do so, then shame on you and shame on him or her. You should have been better diversified.

CBC WeatherBimbo Claire Martin Goes Too Far

Mulder

Tonight on The National, Claire Martin, the British accented weatherbimbo, not once, but twice, alluded to the Income Trust changes announced by the government. The first time, she even called it the Income Trust debacle.

For Claire’s information, the Income Trust debacle was when Ralph Goodale’s Ministry of Finance leaked the Liberal announcement in October of 2005. To call the current government’s decision to debaucle is just wrong. And weather reporting eye candy has no place commenting on the governments decision anymore than a sports caster.

The CBC has gone too far this time. No matter what your opinion on the governments decision, this was a further blatant attempt at the CBC trying to influence the viewers against the government and is simply wrong.

Claire Martin should apologize and the CBC needs to get their act together.

I highly urge you all to visit their ombudsman’s website and register a complaint.

The broadcast took place November 2nd, 2006 at approximately 10:55pm EST.

ADDENDUM I took the liberty of recording the rebroadcast from CBC Newsworld at 11pm to 12pm and got the clip on YouTube. You can see it by clicking the link below.
