Ooohh... that sneaky Bob Rae just won't come out and say what he wants to do!
Of course he's going to run for party leader if he gets the chance! Come on Bob, just admit it! Just once!

Extremists on both sides are trying to hit Harper on abortion
Being a national leader means that no matter what, some people are going to be upset with you, either for what you are doing, for what you aren't doing. In the case of some of Canada's political extremists, they might even hate you because you're doing what they want, but they suspect you might secretly do something else. Or because by doing what they actually want, you're diminishing their opportunity to publicly hate you the way they feel entitled
Sound crazy and confusing? You bet it does, but that's what's happening right now with the abortion situation in Canada.
The Canadian Supreme Court struck down Canada's abortion laws in 1988 as being unconstitutional. The Mulroney Conservatives failed at an attempt to bring in a new abortion law and since then, no government has made an attempt to introduce legislation on the volatile, contentious subject. Aside from the difficulties of creating a law that would conform to constitutional legalities as defined by the highest court in the land, stirring up the emotional debate on a matter would be political suicide.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper has promised that neither he nor his government would introduce any new abortion legislation and he has kept his word. That has a few people in his caucus and very many in the far-right anti-abortion camp angry. They see Harper as standing in the way of their divine mission to prevent the termination of thousands of unborn children.
On the other side of the spectrum, the Looney Left is always complaining about Harper's secret agenda of reintroducing abortion laws, going so far as to claim that by not funding Third World abortions, Canada is somehow on the road to restricting the procedure internally.
There may be good heath policy arguments for funding foreign abortions in impoverished countries, just as there are sound political reasons for not doing so. But that hardly makes an open foreign aid policy part of a secret domestic agenda.
One thing this matter indicates is that when both political extremes think you're going too far in favoring the other side, it places you firmly in the political centre. Harper's ability to supplant the Liberals in that political middle ground has been the key to his electoral success. If he can keep the Conservative keel steady there, aided by the ineptitude of the most incompetent Official Opposition in this nation's history, he could easily sail on to more election victories.

10 points about Romney, Newt and the primaries
The wind is blowing in too many directions for me to even bother to guess the outcome of the Republican primaries any more, other than to make the bold prediction that, under no circumstances, will Ron Paul be the winner.
As to the Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney battle, here are some facts to be taken into account:
1. Nobody outside his immediate family actually likes Mitt Romney.
2. Rick Santorum stands no chance.
3. Ron Paul is crazy. I'm not sure how that's relevant to these points, but I'm talking about all the other remaining Republican candidates and I didn't want him to feel left out.
4. Mitt has a lot of money, but he isn't going to be able to spend it in every state the way he had in Florida to smear Gingrich.
5. So far, including the Florida results, only 5% of the total delegates to the Republican convention have been allocated.
6. Mitt Romney is an uncharismatic stiff that makes Al Gore seem like a rock star by comparison.
7. If Santorum gives up his hopeless campaign, the bulk of his support would likely go to Gingrich.
8. If Santorum doesn't give up his hopeless campaign before the convention, he can turn his delegates over to Gingrich then.
9. Mitt has the GOP establishment behind him, but those Tea Party people punch above their weight in party activism and most of them are in the Gingrich camp.
10. Super Tuesday looms large and Gingrich will do well in a lot of those states.
Even though the primary battle between Gingrich and Romney seems to be exposing lots of dirty Republican linen, the benefit from the process is that it's giving the candidates an opportunity to be able to respond to attacks now instead of when the Democrats bring them up in the fall Presidential campaign. That dirt is also getting the American public familiar with the attack points, so the November election may rest less on what the Democrats say about the Republicans than how Americans feel about Obama's handling of the economy and America's place in the world.

Latest news from the Nortel show trial
So here's the deal: three former Nortel executives are on trial for fraud for allegedly engineering results that would give the company profits, triggering bonuses for them
But here are the problems the charges put forward by an RCMP White Collar Crimes unit that that has managed to get only one major conviction (the obviously guilty Garth Drabinsky) in the unit's history, and the theories of a prosecution that makes Inspector Clouseau look like Sherlock Holmes.
The three executives were way down the list of people who would get bonuses for the profitable periods. The three of them combined received less than ten percent of some individual former Nortel executives and Board members over the same period.
The Nortel Board and auditing firm Deloitte, which was paid about $10 million a year for auditing Nortel's books, all approved of the transactions that the executives on trial are accused of having made fraudulently. By definition, you can't do something transparently and with auditors' approval and commit fraud.
If indeed these transactions were fraudulent, then one of the unanswered mysteries of the Nortel Show Trial is the question of why the Board and Auditors who approved the transactions aren't also on facing the same fraud charges.
The answer seems obvious. The spectacular collapse of Nortel last decade had a devastating affect of the Toronto Stock Exchange and thousands of investors, many who lost fortunes while large investors like some of the Public Service Unions were able to force Nortel to pay them money at the expense of private individual investors.
The mob was screaming for blood, and so scapegoats were needed. The Board are part of the Bay Street old boy network, too well conected to go after. The sacrifice to the mob therefore came in the persons of Former CEO Frank Dunn, CFO Douglas Beatty and Controller Michael Gollogly.
In today's Ottawa Citizen, James Bagnall explains more of the illogical arguments and inconsistencies put forward by the prosecution:
The Crown has alleged this activity was directed by Nortel’s top three financial executives — Frank Dunn, Douglas Beatty and Michael Gollogly — in order to smooth out Nortel’s progression to steady, maintainable profits. Crown prosecutor Robert Hubbard added that Nortel management in January was expecting a loss in the first quarter of 2003.
He also maintains that management engineered earnings in order to trigger executive and other bonuses.
Nevertheless, to transform a fourth-quarter profit into a loss seems not only counter-intuitive, but contrary to the incentives in place for management. Indeed, the financial motivation for Nortel’s executives would have been to direct Harrison NOT to solicit new entries that created the quarterly loss.
UPDATE (Feb 1): Today The Ottawa Citizen's report discusses how the Crown's first witness actually helped make the defence's case. It also elaborates on how the Crown doesn't seem to understand the issues that it is prosecuting.

The good news is you don't have to be so afraid of being eaten by an alligtor in the Florida Everglades
The bad news is that's because they are being eaten by giant Burmese Pythons that have invaded the area.

If you like paying taxes, you'll love Canada's misnamed New Democratic Party
Not new, with guaranteed votes going to unions, it's not very democratic, and anyone who knows these stiffs knows they have a pretty sad idea of how to party.
Now they're ganging up on Tom Mulcair, because he's not looney enough for Canada's neo-Marxist halfwits.

Huntingdon Mayor Stephane Gendron's attacks on Israel could be an act of worship
Huntingdon Mayor Stephane Gendron, the co-host of Quebec's V-Tele network's "Face-a-Face" has, on many occasions, made imbecilic, hateful comments about the Jewish state. He accused Israel of "genocide" suggesting he doesn't actually understand the meanming of that word. At least stupidity is a constant for Mr. Gendron. He also accused Quebec Premier Jean Charest of being a "murderer," and a public letter he posted on his blog to Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper suggests Gendron may actually be mentally unhinged.
But perhaps the fanatical hostility Gendron exhibits towards Israel is not based so much on hatred of Jews as it is an act of service to one that he loves and admires.
The Bible describes the children of Abraham, Isaac and Joseph as God's chosen people; selected by The Almighty to receive His law. The Bible also contains references to an opponent, Satan, whose purpose is to lead man on the path away from God.
So is it any wonder that a person who is an admirer of Satan would be an enemy of God's chosen?
On his facebook profile, Gendron has posted a number of photographs sugesting he has a tremndous affinity, not only for Israel's temporal enemies but also their spiritual commandant, The Prince of Darkness.
His taste in photographs indicate an obsession with The Number of The Beast, "666." Balding and sporting a devilish goatee that makes him look like the sickly love child of Vladimir Lenin and Old Nick himself, Gendron has adorned both his car and his ring finger with Satanic emblems and has a number of photographs that insult Christianity and pay tribute to the legendary source of all evil.
Jew hatred seems to be a common act of devotion by those subservient to The Evil One. Hitler's Nazis shared Gendron's obsession with crackpot occultism and symbolism. Hitler also shared Gendron's apparent contempt for Christianity, thinking it was a Jewish plot to conquer the world.
Who knows what actual demons possess Stephane Gendron. But whoever they are, the citizens of Huntingdon better hope he doesn't figure out which ritual he needs to perform to conjure them out of Hell.

Graham Yost applied storytelling tips from his late father, Elwy
“Everything that I do in my work is an homage to my dad,” Yost said quietly. “He always impressed on me the value of taking an idea and turning it on its head and finding something different. My dad was obsessed by that. His favourite moments in movies were moments that were surprising, and yet felt incredibly satisfying. Or incredibly heartbreaking. So, for both my brother and I, whenever we see movies, we see them through the lenses that our father gave us.”

The Food Stamp President becomes the Class Warfare President
With what may be President Obama's final State of the Union address , he has outlined the divisions that will define the philosophical conflict in the 2012 election. The conflict to be played out will be the battle between American exceptionalism and European-style class resentment.
“You can call this class warfare all you want. But asking a billionaire to pay at least as much as his secretary in taxes? Most Americans would call that common sense.”
Obama didn't actually distinguish what kind of taxes he was talking about during his attempt at divisive populism during his State of the Union speech tonight. The reason those billionaires are paying less in taxes is because they tend to make more income from Capital Gains taxes. That's tax on profits from investments bought with money they have already paid taxes on. Like when you get taxed on interest in your bank account.
What does raising the tax rate on investment income usually accomplish? Lower investment rates. Investments are what create jobs and drive industry. If Obama had ever held a real job in his life, he might understand that better. But seemingly motivated by the defunct, vapid Occupy movement's call to class warfare and vilifying the "1%", the Food Stamp President, who is in danger of losing the 2012 election, has leaped upon the opportunity to exploit class resentment.
A disciple of radical activist Saul Alinsky, Mr. Obama may not have a tremendous understanding of the American spirit, which is something very different than the attitudes in the socialist Europe he admires and wants to emulate.
That weakness has laid bare the Republican strategy, to play upon optimism and the American dream and use it against Mr. Obama's 21st Century version of Jimmy Carter's National Malaise.
The man who came to Washington promising "change" is now likely to be remembered as "The Great Divider," being responsible for more political polarization than a predecessor who was relentlessly accused of that fault.
Obama's State of the Union shows a President who thinks he leads a nation as pessimistic as he is. That betrays a fundamental misunderstanding of the American character and one that will likely cost him more votes than the Deocrats' war chest can buy between now and November.
Update: I think I know where Obama's getting his stupid economic ideas

Canadian blogger threatened with death amid allegations of corruption at the York Regional Police Dept.
Popular Canadian conservative blogger Blazing Cat Fur has received a death threat from a someon purporting to be a young woman who only last year was before the courts on charges of being an accessory to murder.
Those charges against that woman were eventually dropped under mysterious circumstances.
What makes the story particularly strange is that the accused felon is linked to a notorious family in York Region.
The family includes Bahman Hafez Amini, who was recently indicted in Texas for money laundering. Most prominent among them are a brood of sisters who have been accused of making death threats via the Internet and for bragging about their connections with the York Regional Police Department.
The comments in Blazing Cat Fur's account of this most recent incident relate some shocking information. It is all the more unsettling in that there are a number of accounts of York Regional Police detectives and officials stonewalling any attempt to shed light on these matters.

The new Ethical Oil - Take this, OPEC! Now we can turn seaweed into fuel!
Seaweed may well be an ideal plant to turn into biofuel. It grows in much of the two thirds of the planet that is underwater, so it wouldn't crowd out food crops the way corn for ethanol does. Because it draws its own nutrients and water from the sea, it requires no fertilizer or irrigation. Most importantly for would-be biofuel-makers, it contains no lignin—a strong strand of complex sugars that stiffens plant stalks and poses a big obstacle to turning land-based plants such as switchgrass into biofuel.
Researchers at Bio Architecture Lab, Inc., (BAL) and the University of Washington in Seattle have now taken the first step to exploit the natural advantages of seaweed. They have built a microbe capable of digesting it and converting it into ethanol or other fuels or chemicals.

The Republicans' Gordon Gekko unleashes the forces of fear against Newt
There's capitalism and there's capitalism. There's the good kind that creates jobs, produces valuable services and products, leads to technological advances, and creates choices and freedom for consumers and employees.
And then there's the Mitt Romney/Gordon Gecko/George Soros kind. That's the kind where creepy characters make a few calls, pull a few levers, buy and sell other people's achievements, then take a profit.
Mitt Romney's corporate raider capitalism is not the kind that built America, but it could be the kind that destroys it. Romney's similarity to Oliver Stone's fictional character is eerie, even down to the slicked back hairstyle the two share. Romney is not a criminal, but neither is he inspiring.
So without much to motivate people to vote for him out of enthusiasm, he is trying to scare voters out of choosing Gingrich by unleashing a pack of media hounds like the flaky Ann Coulter, who now is a Romney booster. Only a year ago, Coulter complained that if the Republicans pick her current candidate of choice, it would be the same as handing the 2012 election to Obama. But for her, Gingrich just isn't conservative enough. So she goes with Romney?
The Democrats must be enjoying the specticle of Republicans accumulting ammuniation for President Obama to use against them in the fall.
Cornell Law Professor William Jacobson writes on his blog Legal Insurrection that:
It’s really no surprise. As Mitt Romney has faltered from inevitability to modest favorite, a chorus of pro-Romney voices in the media and Republican Party is insisting that if Newt is the nominee, we not only lose the presidency we also lose the House and fail to take back the Senate.
It’s pure conjecture. If a bad week can cost Romney 20 points in South Carolina, it can cost him that much in Ohio, or Florida, or Virginia in the general election. Current polling is interesting, but overstated in its import.
Yet the argument is stated with absolute certainty.
