A New Concern

Stockwell Day came out in favor of building shade screens, in response to what he calls an "Outpouring of concern" from some Canadians over the possibility of catching skin cancer at night. "Yes, that's right", Mr Day told reporters,"I have information that many Canadians feel that the moon is tying to give them cancer. It is a widely underreported problem."

Stockwell Day Lives In An M.C. Escher World

Campbell Clark attempts to follow Stockwell Day as he travels up and down the staircases of his mind:

Although the official crime rate is going down, a senior Harper government minister says there is reason to disbelieve the statistics and spend billions of dollars on new prisons: an “alarming” increase in unreported crime.

Stockwell Day’s argument is based on a Statistics Canada survey, conducted like a large poll, which showed a slight rise in unreported crimes – though the increase was in property crimes and petty theft, not violent crimes. And the survey was conducted in 2004 – an ironic twist given that Mr. Day made his case only minutes after he maintained that the long-form census is not very reliable because it can be as much as five years out of date.

Mr. Clark was treated for "strained brain" and released. Medical authorities have warned others that trying to follow Stockwell Day's thinking is dangerous and should only be attempted while using "extreme caution".

Stockwell Day's Yabba Dabba Doo Time

Really, what can one say about Stockwell Day that hasn't already been said by others? The man is a walking hemorrhoid in a government filled with assholes.

Update:Kady O'Malley is being very charitable toward Stockwell here. In my opinion, Day doesn't care what is in the video clip. He is playing to Ray and friends in the post below. He is trying to whip up the base into a frenzy of righteous indignation over the "hippies and weirdos" who have destroyed "Vimy Ridge Canada". Showing him the video will do nothing. You might as well show him a first edition of Origin of the Species while you are at it for all the good it will do.

Day Passes The Puck

So, the SDQ is now claiming that they did have undercover cops in the crowd, but that they were there to stop violence. So, what was the one cop doing holding a rock and pushing Dave Coles?

Second, Stockwell Day is trying to push all responsibility for this fiasco away from the RCMP and onto the SDQ, by saying it was purely an SDQ issue.

"I've made the inquiries and there was no RCMP that were involved as far as those three individuals go," he told reporters in Winnipeg.

How is that possible? I realize Day is slicing the salami pretty thin here. No, the three were not RCMP, but the RCMP was in charge of security for the event. Either the RCMP knew about these operations in which case it is as culpable as the SDQ, or it didn't, in which case it was grossly incompetent (I suspect this is the final defense Day will fall back to in the coming days). Either way, Canadians have a right to know what the hell was going on up in Quebec.

Update: As others have pointed out, the fact that the SDQ lied about the cops' identities in the first place makes the rest of their utterances on the matter highly suspect. Why should we believe anything the cops have to say on this matter? We need an independent investigation.
