Harper shows his true colours & his contempt for the Canadian justice system.

Children of bad people don't deserve justice!
So Steven Harper is now on public record as saying he has no intention of asking for the repatriation of Omar Khadr - this despite the growing evidence Khadr’s rights were violated, and it was done so with Canada knowing about it (and it started lamentably with the Paul Martin-led Liberal government), and despite growing pressure internationally and domestically on the Canadian government to do so.

This is not a surprise, but what Harper said yesterday about why the US should continue to deal with Khadr seems to me to show his utter contempt in the Canadian justice system:

He argued that the special U.S. military trial that Mr. Khadr faces – in which he does not have the same standard of legal representation and rights he would in an ordinary criminal trial – is the only way he could be brought to answer the charges against him…”frankly, we do not have a real alternative to that process now to get to the truth about those accusations”

Peak Oil?

Sunday, 22 June 2008
Is it the sunset of cheap oil? Is the planet quickly running out of oil? Is that why oil prices are so high right now? There can only be so much past organic matter in the earth's crust to have turned into oil, right? Oil does come from fossils and dead dinosaurs and other organic stuff doesn't it? Is the lack of oil why America invaded Iraq and is thinkng about Iran next; to get cheap oil? Or do the Big Oil companies control things and push governments into wars to drive the price up? Lets that a peek at a few links here to see how all this "Peak Oil", and related, stuff may be just a myth, if not an outright hoax:

Town of Stettler Logo Contest

Friday, 20 June 2008
beep... beep... beep... It seems the Town of Stettler is having a logo contest. Three out of the four choices have an EKG symbol as part of the design... what the....? Is the Town having a coronary or just suffering from a lack of oxygen to the brain? Shouldn't the contest be asking for good designs from the many local artists of our community rather than asking us to pick from one of these... er um... choices? Let us know what you think(click on the read more link if you are on the frontpage) or else email the Town of Stettler and tell them. You can read more from the Town here: New Logo for Stettler PDF
