Allan's Perspective
Despite being NDP, I had a certain amount of respect and admiration for Thomas Mulcair……., until yesterday!
Even though i don’t agree with his far left leanings, (i.e. NDP) he impressed me as a politician and a leader of a political party.
And then he had to go and destroy it!!!!!
Mulcair came out yesterday and said he didn’t think the killing of a soldier in front of the national memorial last week was a “terrorist act!”
Folks, I am not even going to dignify that with a comment, and just to add insult to injury, we are going to make him our “Loser of the Day” as well.
New
Democrat Leader Thomas Mulcair said he would not label killing of a
solider at the National War Memorial and the attack on Parliament Hill
by gunman Michael Zehaf-Bibeau as a terrorist act.“I don’t think that we have enough evidence to use that word,” Mulcair told reporters Wednesday after emerging from the NDP caucus meeting held in the same room where MPs had cowered below tables while hearing gunfire outside a week earlier.
Mulcair said he based his opinion on reports that Zehaf-Bibeau had been struggling with mental illness, for which he had tried to seek help.
“If that turns out to be the case, I think we are not in the presence of a terrorist act in the sense that we would understand it and I think we have to be very careful with the use of the word terrorism, make sure that’s actually what we are dealing with,” Mulcair said.

Here’s a headline ya don’t see too often: “700 year old virus found in frozen caribou poop!“
Folks, on top of any other question we could think up, the main thing to consider is finding out why this guy is examining 700 year old caribou poop?

Jian Ghomeshi is still ranting about his “unjust and unfair” treatment by the CBC, and is just digging himself in deeper.
If the guy had any brains he would realize there are multiple women out there who have been attacked by him and he SHOULD HAVE JUST QUIETLY GONE AWAY and cited “personal reasons” for his departure while he had a chance!
But NOOooooooo! He had some sort of false bravado ………….., or a death wish, and just didn’t know when to shut up!!!!!!
(MEANWHILE: Rumour has it that Jian is now involved with Honey Boo Boo’s mother!)
Honey’s mother was quoted as saying: “Well at least he’s not a child molester like that other guy was!“
(P.S. FOLKS, I’M STARTING TO MISS PETER GZOWSKI MORE AND MORE!!!!!!!)

Ladies and Gentlemen, you might remember during a previous edition of “If I ruled the World” we suggested that Russia should have joined NATO after the fall of the Soviet Union ………, but did anyone listen to me?
NO!
That’s why Europe and Russian are now slowly drifting back to a “cold war” situation when they should be mutually protecting themselves against all the other crap that is going on in the world, but neither side realizes it yet!
MARK MY WORDS, KIDS, Russia will one day have to join NATO and Europe.
I am not placing the blame for today’s tensions on either side kids, but the sooner everyone opens their eyes and “Gets Things Into perspective,” the better off we will all be!

Expect superheroes, villains and more superheroes to dominate the world as Marvel Studio plans to roll out new films through the summer of 2019.

“Captain America: Civil War,” with Iron Man Robert Downey Jr. joining red, white and blue hero Chris Evans, on May 6, 2016;
“Doctor Strange,” with no confirmation of the Benedict Cumberbatch casting that recently unhinged the fanboy universe, on Nov. 4, 2016;
“Guardians of the Galaxy 2,” the sequel to Marvel’s monster summer hit, on May 5, 2017;
“Thor: Ragnarok” which is Norse legend for Armageddon, on July 28, 2017;
“Black Panther,” the African hero who will be played by Chadwick Boseman and introduced in “Civil Wars,” on Nov. 3, 2017;
“Avengers: Infinity War Part I,” on May 4, 2018;
“Captain Marvel,” who will be a woman, July 6, 2018;
“Inhumans,” the secret race of superpeople introduced in a classic Fantastic Four run in the 1960s, but who will apparently join the Marvel Cinematic Universe (minus the Fantastic Four, which another studio has movie rights to) on Nov. 2. 2018; and “Avengers: Infinity War Part II,” on May 5, 2019.
Toward the end of Feige’s main presentation, Downey and Evans sauntered on stage, posed fight stances (indicating Iron Man and Cap take different sides in “Civil War”) and then introduced Boseman (“42,” “Get On Up”), all to predictably Pavlovian effect.
“We really do want the fans to be on the front lines of as much of the information we have from us as possible,” Feige said.
Asked if Tuesday’s event was a turf-staking response to rival DC Comics-owning Warner Bros.’ midmonth announcement of its superhero film slate through the decade’s end, the Disney subsidiary’s boss explained the original plan was to make the announcement at Comic-Con International in San Diego, but “things were not set.”
“Things for ‘Civil War’ were not set yet, ‘Guardians’ hadn’t come out yet,” Feige continued. “So the plan has been to do something that either we haven’t done in a long time or have never done, which is a singular event just to announce what we have, when it’s ready.”
During the main presentation, Feige also pointed out “Ultron” director Joss Whedon, “Captain America” helmers Anthony and Joe Russo and the still star-less “Doctor Strange” director Scott Derrickson in the audience, all to duly suitable pandemonium. “Guardians” honcho James Gunn greeted fans via video from the theater’s big screen.
Feige also indicated that the “Civil Wars” film, though based on key comic book series, would differ substantially from the printed version, mainly due to the fact that Spider-Man, Fantastic Four and X-Men characters are still controlled by other studios. He declined to clarify rumors that Disney/Marvel was negotiating with Sony to get Spider-Man back.
