We told ya so….

“We” being the blogsphere and right of centre types for the most part who were asking: "Who in their right mind would want Libya on the UN’s Human Rights Council?" It’s like giving the keys to the henhouse to a hungry fox. Speaking of Fox, they asked back in May 2010 “WTF” is the UN smoking appointing this nutbar to the UNHRC.

Now that he is machine gunning, bombing and executing his own people with wild abandon, the UNHRC ask that Libya be suspended from it’s ranks, a little late as even Libya’s diplomats have resigned and told Ghadhafi he was a nutbar. (I reserve judgement on their flip-flop, it’s quite possible that the nutbar had their relatives held as “guests” to ensure compliance overseas.)

But all is not lost for the supporters of hypocrisy and the UN (but I repeat myself) Iran who was not chosen for a seat at the esteemed UNHCR, still got a seat on the UN’s Woman’s Commission. Seriously what could possible go wrong with that?

Kapyong: Images of the Battlefield Today

A Canadian Lee-Enfield spike bayonet found at the battlefield


An excellent read on a almost forgotten battle, one that does not fit into the myth of UN peacekeeping.

How did they actually manage to pull it off? How did a few hundred out-gunned, surrounded, Canadian amateur soldiers ever manage to drive off perhaps 5,000 superbly-trained Chinese combat veterans.

When they came for the gun owners I did nothing

UN General Assembly Votes To Allow Gays To Be Executed Without Cause (it's not like us gun owners didn't try to warn you about them) Don’t care because you are not gay or a gun owner? Don’t worry you are on somebody’s list

Gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people were once again subject to the whims of homophobia and religious and cultural extremism this week, thanks to a United Nations vote that removed “sexual orientation” from a resolution that protects people from arbitrary executions. In other words, the UN General Assembly this week voted to allow LGBT people to be executed without cause.

We Canadians don't take our moral cues from the UN

We Canadians don't take our moral cues from an organization that buried its moral compass in the jungles of Rwanda, that shot up its moral compass in the mountains of Yugoslavia, that defecates daily on its moral compass in Darfur.

Chales Alder echo's my thoughts on the matter.

I remember discussing freedom of religion with my devout brother inlaw, he said Malaysia was accepting of all Muslims, I asked why their was no Shiite mosques, seems it’s illegal to preach Shiite teaching there. When he did Eid here in Vancouver he was amazed to see many different types of Muslims under the same roof. Something that would not happen in most Muslim countries.
