Bikini-wearing mom calls out body shaming bullies\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0 { A 33-year-old mother of 5 went sunbathing [ doesn’t say where ] for the first time in 13 years when 2 men and 1 woman, pointed, laughed, and pretended to kick her. She posted a photo of herself on facebook. (( For perspective, she was not what I would have called \u2018obese\u2019 \u2013 I\u2019ve seen much more \u2018flab\u2019 on young women wearing \u2018middy\u2019 blouses in a local mall.)) ((( & I\u2019m not positive whether this happened in Canada or in the U.S. -But- We need a non lethal ray gun that will freeze bullies in the act of looking grotesque and making complete \u2018arses\u2019 of themselves.))) }<\/p>\n Not cool for cats: Buffalo area island dwellers say scram to abandoned felines<\/span>\u00a0 { Tonawanda Island in the Niagara River (an 85 acre island) \u2013 a marina owner complained that the cats were making a mess of the land \u2018and even got into boats\u2019 at his marina \u2013 \u2018hundreds of abandoned cats\u2019. A woman is \u2018trapping the cats & having them spayed or neutered by vets, returning the adults to the island and putting the kittens up for adoption. }<\/p>\n Love at first flight: \u2018Katie from Nova Scotia\u2019 sought by Irish Romeo<\/span><\/p>\n School fires blogger over post about homophones, citing \u2018gay agenda\u2019<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 { \u201cTimothy Torkidson was recently let go from his position as a social media specialist at the Nomen Global Language Center in Provo, Utah after writing an educational blog post called \u201cHelp with Homophones\u201d.\u201d (( Homophones, in case you forgot your grammar, are words that sound alike but mean different things, like flew and flu, red and read, see and sea, mail and male\u2026 )) He was fired by a school administrator for allegedly promoting \u201csome kind of gay agenda\u201d. }<\/p>\n <\/p>\n =====<\/p>\n \u201cMost viewed\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Reputed gang leader Ducarme Joseph fatally shot in Montreal<\/span><\/p>\n Missing N.B. man found dead in Alberta, closing 19-year-old case<\/span><\/p>\n Tory MP Eve Adams quits after bitter nomination race, cites health<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0 { This has been followed by Canadian News outlets for some time. Eve Adams was accused of using inside influence to win a nomination from the Conservative Party of Canada. Part of the controversy behind her nomination and election stemmed from the involvement of her fiance, a former Conservative Party executive director, who, if I remember right, resigned over that controversy. I think she got the nomination and won the seat. Her \u2018riding\u2019 ( district ) was newly created in the Oakville-North Burlington area, west of Toronto, or part of the Toronto area, depending on who you listen to.\u00a0 Ms Adams claims she is resigning for health reasons after falling in a slippery doorway in Ottawa. The creation of her\u00a0 riding ( U.S. people would call it a district ) was at least mildly controversial with opposition politicians claiming it was created after careful research to assure the Conservative Party another representative in Parliament. There is a related story entitled, \u201cConservative nominations raise odds of early 2015 election<\/span>\u201d I\u2019ll let you go to the CBC web site if you want to dig deeper into this one. }<\/p>\n How Marc Emery turned to marijuana activism\u00a0\u00a0 { One link to an interview involving Marc Emery says, \u201cHow he went from \u2018Boy Wonder\u2019 to become Canada\u2019s \u201cPrince of Pot\u201d. He became an activist in 1968 and worked to help elect Pierre Trudeau to the Prime Minister\u2019s Position (I almost wrote \u201cPrime Ministership\u201d) and he\u2019s spent the past five years in U.S. Prison for trying to get marijuana use legalized. ( I believe he wants to see it legalized in both the U.S. and Canada.) He changed political party affiliations a couple times, Ran as a Libertarian Party candidate for a seat from London, Ontario. And he ran for a seat in British Columbia in 2001 as the Marijuana Party of B.C.\u2019s president and candidate. He also helped form the Freedom Party of Ontario.

Those who were upset thought he was telling them that Fathers were more important than Mothers, that mothers were good at changing diapers and washing dishes and fathers had the responsibility of seeing that their children were properly educated and brought up right to assume a decent, productive role to contribute to the future of their country and this world. }<\/p>\n When Canada went to war: The story behind our involvement in WWI<\/span><\/p>\n China factory blast kills 68 at car parts facility<\/span><\/p>\n \u2018I could have killed him,\u2019 Bill Clinton says of Osama bin Laden in 2001 recording<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0 { In a recording made \u2018less than 36 hours before al-Qaeda hijackers would board four airliners for attacks on the World Trade Center\u00a0 and Pentagon.\u2019 Bill Clinton said he passed on an opportunity to take Osama bin Laden \u201cout\u201d because the attack would have destroyed a small town called Kandahar in Afghanistan and probably killed 300 innocent civilians. [ I better bite my tongue on this one. Pilot friends tell me those hijackers could not have possibly flown those jets with such precision and there is a LOT of evidence that the hijacking was a “slight of hand” cover story meant to lead us away from the real cause of the buildings’ collapse, but have it blamed on ‘terrorists’ so evil men with a manipulative agenda could get people to voluntarily surrender their legal rights & …. ] <\u2014> Don\u2019t get me started. }<\/p>\n Ordinary Russians back Putin, Kremlin\u2019s view of Malaysia Airlines MH17 tragedy<\/span><\/p>\n Why Texas Gov.
