UN “protection” isn’t what it used to be:
Children have been subjected to rape and prostitution by United Nations peacekeepers in Haiti and Liberia, a BBC investigation has found. Girls have told of regular encounters with soldiers where sex is demanded in return for food or money.

Does this not remind you for the Liberal attacks against Stephen Harper in the last two federal elections?
Ted Morton’s Alberta is not my Alberta.”
Apparently Morton isn’t Albertan enough for Jim, I’m surprised he didn’t come right out and mention Morton is originally from the United States - GASP!
Morton’s Alberta is also not Lethbridge West […]

Commenter TSS:
Only the eliminated candidate’s second choices are counted. Not everyone’s. It doesn’t matter if any of Ted’s or Jim’s voters have Ed as 2nd place if Ed isn’t in the top 2.

This is fascinating:
Nonetheless, sources tell the Herald about a dozen federal Conservative MPs will rush back to Alberta in the coming days to help Morton capture Premier Ralph Klein’s crown.

A sarcasm-laced tribute to Raymond Gravel from the gay community:
We think it’s just swell that Gravel turned his life around. From hooker to politician. Quite inspiring…Also, can we just say that we love Canada? Where else can a rent boy become both a priest and a politician? Sodom ain’t got nothing on that shit.
