Your much maligned reporter keeps saying we should just build a fence
around the Middle-East and only take it down after everyone there has
regained their senses, or killed themselves off, but we both know this
is not going to happen.
Instead, we can watch the Taliban resurgence as they overrun the place ………….., meanwhile Sunni’s battle Shias, Muslims battle Jews, Christians and Hindu’s, and everyone battles the U.S.
Aside from the dubious entertainment value, this whole area is a mess, folks, and deserves to be cut off from civilized society!

No doubt it’s only teenagers, and they’re too stupid and
ignorant to know any better, BUT: Calgary police held a press
conference Tuesday to warn the public about a Facebook group mocking
street people in Calgary.
Some of the videos show apparently homeless Calgarians being openly mocked with fake accents and addressed as “fine specimens.” –>
“Creature Sightings” is Facebook page that posts photos and videos of
homeless people asleep in public places, returning empties or other
embarrassing situations. The group’s 200+ members are encouraged to
submit ratings, comments or memes further insulting street people.
Well, a previously unknown witness is expected to tell an
RCMP officer’s perjury trial that the four Mounties involved in Robert
Dziekanski’s death gathered at her home for a private meeting before
testifying at a public inquiry, the Crown told a B.C. Supreme Court
judge on Tuesday.
Crown counsel Eric Gottardi signaled that prosecutors intend to allege Const. Kwesi Millington and the other officers got together to co-ordinate their stories as they prepared to appear at the inquiry, where they all testified in early 2009.
Millington was among four officers who confronted Dziekanski at Vancouver’s airport on Oct. 14, 2007. He repeatedly stunned Dziekanski with a Taser and the Polish immigrant died on the airport floor.

Planet of the Apes?
Look out, gamers: chimpanzees might be coming for your high
scores. Panzee, a 22-year-old female chimp, significantly outperformed
12 children and 4 adults on a complex maze in a virtual-reality computer
to the prize than the kids – and even the adults.
As the games became more complicated, some of the humans tried to get a boost from their species-mates in the room. “The humans would ask me for answers, but I would tell them, ‘I can’t give the chimps answers,’” said Francine Dolins, a primatologist at the University of Michigan-Dearborn and first author on the study, which was published online
in the American Journal of Primatology in January.

I think winter is back for one last kick at the cat in Ontario and points East!
It may feel like spring, but Southern Ontario, southern Quebec and the Maritimes are in for heavy snowfall and cold temperatures
The temperature will drop from 1 C to – 5 C this morning before plummeting to – 17 C Wednesday evening with wind chill making it feel more like – 26.

Quebec Premier Pauline Marois has said an independent Quebec
would have no borders or tolls for Canadians, as she campaigns ahead of a
7 April election!
Well let me tell ya something, boys and girls!
This reporter thinks we should have a border just like the one down in the States, along the Mexican border!
A nice high fence to keep THEM IN, not us out!

Under the heading: “Now there’s something I didn’t know,” how about this little gem?
Researchers from the University of Sussex and the Amboseli
Trust for Elephants played recordings of human voices to wild elephants
in Kenya and watched how they reacted. “Our results demonstrate that
elephants can reliably discriminate between two different ethnic groups
that differ in the level of threat they represent,” the authors said in
an article published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of
Sciences.

This is how big the Andromeda galaxy would actually look in our sky if it were brighter!

Remember the guy at the Vancouver airport who got tasered to death because he didn’t speak English?

Olivia Chow is going to throw her hat into the ring tomorrow for mayor of Toronto, kids!
That means if she gets elected Toronto will dig up all its subway
lines, put in bicycle lanes on all the expressways, shut down the island
airport, and put everyone on welfare!
(Good luck with that!)
——————————————Planet of the Apes?
Look out, gamers: chimpanzees might be coming for your high
scores. Panzee, a 22-year-old female chimp, significantly outperformed
12 children and 4 adults on a complex maze in a virtual-reality computer
game.
Researchers pitted four adult chimps against twelve human children
ranging from 3 to 12 years old, and four adult humans. The chimpanzees
tended to do about as well as the kids between 3 and 6 years old,
completing the maze in a similar amount of time. The scientists were
also recording “travel efficiency,” or how much distance the gamers
covered before beating the game. That’s where Panzee shined: on the most
difficult maze, she took a significantly shorter routeto the prize than the kids – and even the adults.
As the games became more complicated, some of the humans tried to get a boost from their species-mates in the room. “The humans would ask me for answers, but I would tell them, ‘I can’t give the chimps answers,’” said Francine Dolins, a primatologist at the University of Michigan-Dearborn and first author on the study, which was published online

It may feel like spring, but Southern Ontario, southern Quebec and the Maritimes are in for heavy snowfall and cold temperatures
Wednesday morning’s commute was a relatively easy one, with some
light drizzle hitting the streets, but more snow is coming today.
The rain will give way to more steady snowfall as the temperatures drop into the evening and into Thursday.
Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for the
Eastern half of the country, where up to 10 centimetres of snow is
possible.The temperature will drop from 1 C to – 5 C this morning before plummeting to – 17 C Wednesday evening with wind chill making it feel more like – 26.

The study said an elephant herd was more likely to bunch up in a
defensive position following playbacks of voices of Maasai people, an
East African ethnic group that has hunted elephants for centuries, than
other groups. “Moreover, these responses were specific to the sex and
age of Maasai presented, with the voices of Maasai women and boys,
subcategories that would generally pose little threat, significantly
less likely to produce these behavioral responses,” according to the
study.
