Talk about a double standard. Solomon does a good job explaining what is wrong with the Firearms Act and the double Standard that exists. speaking of which just compare what the Crown is doing to Ian Thompson who had the audacity to defend himself.

Also make sure your little girl does not draw a picture of you with a gun at school or face being arrested and your rights violated.   

First day of school for my baby!

My oldest daughter has her first day at school today. She is very excited about going, we homeschooled her for kindergarten, so school with a whole bunch of kids will be a new experience for her, I expect some steep learning curves for her, but suspect she will do well.
It’s been a learning curve for me as well, it’s hard to let my baby go and trust others to protect her. I believe I have given her some solid training to look after herself, hopefully so.
My wife just left to visit family in Malaysia so I took time off of work to be nearby if my daughter has issues at school. Had to figure out new routines for her and us and I suspect I have overpacked her lunch! I also suspect my younger daughter is going to miss her sister a lot! But I plan to use this time to have one on one time with the youngest one, something I have not been able to give her much and feel a little guilty on that account.
When my youngest was about to be born, I wondered how I was going to love another child like I love my first, well the love part comes easy I found. But the logistics of love is harder. The oldest feels cheated because you can’t give her as much time as before, but does not realize she had something the youngest will never have, the undivided attention of her parents. The youngest doesn’t realize she missed out of something and that’s a good thing. Harder on the parents than the kid!

Well better check we got everything packed and it’s off to school.

The Taliban are scum

Utterly sickening is the news that the Taliban and aligned forces would use poison gas on girls who only crime is wanting to learn. Can you imagine the courage it takes for the kids, parents and teachers to come to school each day? Doing what we do without thinking is an act of defiance for them with serious consequences.

So where is the outrage from all of our parties and the media? (to be fair some media are) How about a UN resolution condemning this act?

I guess Afghan schoolgirls are not so newsworthy. Perhaps Jack Layton will remind me again what we are supposed to talk with the Taliban about?

Update: Another 3 aid workers killed by the Taliban in the NE province of Badakhshan, this brings the total to 13 aid workers killed in this previously peaceful province. This is typical of the Taliban methods destroy any government or aid project, throw people into despair and then offer them “security” but at a heavy price.
