Gold

What you are hearing is a collective sigh of relief, from an entire nation. We got away with one today, boys. Kudos to the Americans.

Greg's Crystal Ball

Prorogation has not worked out very well for the government. They are going to face a possible vote on censure, in the next week or so, on the Afghanistan torture files. To avoid this fate, if I was Harper (which thank God, I am not, ekkk), I would have one of my minions announce a Royal Commission some time this weekend. Then I would take about seven months setting the terms and getting that puppy up and running. Then I would go to court to stop the Royal Commission from seeing anything I didn't want it to see. By the time it cleared the courts, the next election will have come and gone, in which case, I would either still be king of Canada, or collecting a fat paycheck from an American think tank.

Dalton McGuinty's New Statue Of Liberty For Bankers

"Give me your tony, your rich, your huddled bankers yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of Wall Street and The City. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door."**

**not actually gold, but feel free to loot the province.

Just what Ontario needs -- international bankers. What? There were no investors willing to build greenhouses here?

Guergis Loses Role As Anne Of Green Gables...

Calls PEI a "Shithole". Let's see if Harper protects her as much as Rob Anders. My guess is, since she is no threat to start her own party, Helena is in some deep doo doo.

Danny's Choice

Danny Williams was faced with a choice -- spend the month of February in Florida, or in Ottawa -- when evaluating his heart operation options (I am sure this procedure is not done in any of the northern states at this time of year, either). Do you think it took a lot of "soul searching" to choose Florida? That he had to shit on the Canadian health care system as a result of his choice, I am sure, kept him up at night.

Jeebus

Read Gerald Caplan. It is the best thing you will read this weekend. Money quote:

From his thousands of speeches and many writings, they were able to collect invaluable secret information that was otherwise known only to the millions who heard him speak or who read his words. But only the Mounties had the resources to decipher the real message embedded deep within Douglas's deceptively sincere calls for a more just society for all Canadians. We now know this was one of the greatest hoaxes in Canadian history, equalled perhaps only by the notion that the Harper government is fit to govern.

Gold. Pure Gold.
