More Charges Laid
Introducing one Clato Lual Mabior. Take a good look at that photo. Probably few outside of Winnipeg have ever heard the name or seen the face but that may soon change as a Winnipeg Police investigation shifts into high gear. A little background info.
The 28-year-old HIV-positive city resident is currently facing three charges of aggravated sexual assault for allegedly having unprotected sex without disclosing his condition to partners. Last month the police took the unusual step of ordering the Winnipeg …

Is Anyone Watching the Kids?
I don’t know what I find more disturbing, the death of two young children in foster care or the province of Manitoba’s response.
For those not familiar with the cases two-year-old Heaven was living with foster parents when she died on Jan. 14, 2005. Her father Lawrence claimed he told CFS (Child and Family Services) that his daughter was being abused but they allegedly ignored him. And in another case another toddler vanished from the same reserve (Fisher River Cree Nation) …
Stephen Harper 60% Approval Rating
As I’ve stated in the past I’m not big on opinion polls but the recent one by Environics has produced some interesting results. Support for the Conservative Party has climbed to 41% with a whopping 60% of Canadians pleased so far with PM Stephen Harper. Also noteworthy is the fact the Liberals have slumped to last place in Quebec.
Harper In Command
Did anyone else catch the action in the House yesterday? Stephen Harper was fantastic. He was in complete command of the House as spoke on the issues and dealt with Liberal hecklers. My favourite part occurred when Harper was heckled as he spoke about agriculture. During his presentation a Liberal member (it may have been Wayne Easter but I’m not sure) yelled out “Show us the money!” The PM hesitated for moment then said (I’m paraphrasing) “Excuse me Mr.Speaker but …
Klein Gone
I managed to catch a bit of Ralph Klein’s press conference earlier today and have to say he was quite gracious. As I don’t live in Alberta I’m not up on the political scene there but I can only speculate that everyone concerned felt it was time for a change, some new blood. With his lowest approval rating in eons he really didn’t have a choice in the matter.
But I must also add that while I agree Klein has done …
Manitoba is Jericho
The leadership race for the Manitoba Progressive Conservatives hasn’t exactly been a spine-tingling event so far. In fact dare I say I’ve seen more exciting curling matches. But as good ole JR would say “…business is about to pick up”. After speaking extensively with Jesse (The Body) Ventura, former WWE star Chris Jericho plans to throw his hat into the ring so to speak.
Yeah I know pro-wrasslers have this stereotypical image but today’s breed is a much different animal from …
Canada Severs Ties With PA
Canada has become the first nation after Israel to sever ties with the Palestinian Authority because of the influence of Hamas.
Canada has become the first country after Israel to cut funding and diplomatic ties to the Palestinian Authority over the new Hamas government’s refusal to renounce violence.The news shocked pro-Palestine groups who fear aid will be cut to those living in squalid refugee camps.
This is great news. One can only speculate if the previous Liberal administration would have taken this …
