What a blast. If you felt like getting together with a bunch of boisterous, freedom-loving George Bush Republicans, you might not pick Hollywood. But I was there last weekend because my good friends at the Institute for Humane Studies were co-sponsoring the second annual Liberty Film Festival at the Pacific Design Center and were kind enough to invite me. Here's what I learned: 1) There are more than three Republicans in Hollywood. 2) They mostly look like normal human beings. 3) They are not shy about their beliefs. 4) They really, really, really really don't like Michael Moore. The estimated 3,500 libertarians, neocons, openly religious and other kinds of conservatives who filtered through the festival doors were proudly sporting American-flag lapel pins and enthusing about sitting through a three-hour 1942 black-and-white film, in Italian with subtitles at that. Sound like artsy liberals? But wait -- it was Ayn Rand's We The Living. I know what you're thinking. No, it wasn't a bunch of dorks. It was nothing like Stephen Harper's dour fan club. These were normal people who were friendly and upbeat. Obviously, they were happy to be among friends and kindred spirits in a town where being, say, a pro-life fan of Donald Rumsfeld sets you slightly apart -- from the lepers. But you didn't have the feeling they were under siege. And indeed, they're not. While left-leaning Hollywood studio executives struggle through yet another prolonged slump, movies that showcase clear moral and conservative principles make a bundle at the box office. The success of Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ, and of films such as Lord of the Rings, Serenity and even Team America: World Police (excessive obscenities aside, a funny display of the Left's inanities), as well as the excitement surrounding the upcoming The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe have a way of stirring the blood and stiffening the sinews of conservative film buffs everywhere. So yeah, the mood at the Pacific Design Center's Silver Screen Theatre was lively. Especially during 365 Boots on Ground -- there wasn't a dry eye in the house after this inspiring documentary by a 20-something Army reservist about his year-long tour in Iraq. Sgt. Kc Wayland plainly had not expected such an enthusiastic reception. Neither had his parents, who were in attendance and a little bit stunned after the long, and loud, standing ovation. Expect to hear more about 365 Boots. And go see it when it comes out (you can get a tease at www.365bootsonground.com/365preview.html Another new production that got hugely favourable reactions -- and won the festival's award for Best Short Film -- was Evan Coyne Maloney's Brainwashing 201: The Second Semester, a devastating account of political correctness and left-wing indoctrination on American college campuses. No wonder Mr. Maloney is a revered figure in youngish conservative/libertarian circles; he's charming, funny, and articulate. See for yourself at www.brain-terminal.com. Canadian viewers would also do well to check out Stuart Browning and Blaine Greenberg's Dead Meat, a short documentary warning Americans of the perils of the Canada-style socialized health care system in which patients wait and wait and wait. It's also available online at www.onthefencefilms.com/video/deadmeat. The Liberty Film Festival has two things in common with other festivals such as Cannes, Sundance or Toronto: It presents films and gives awards. Everything else is different. No bags stuffed with expensive goodies, no full-page colour ads (the entire advertising budget is $2,000 U.S.), no glamorous pictures of stars strolling on the red carpet, no fawning accounts of Kate Hudson's family life. Madonna didn't make a surprise appearance, and neither did Viggo Mortensen (sob). Michael Moore was mentioned many times, but it was never flattering, so maybe that explains why he didn't show up. The biggest names in attendance were polemicist David Horowitz -- whose appearance prompted two young burly types to storm the stage insisting he had no right to speak -- broadcaster Michael Medved and a few screen writers well-known within the industry but who would never be recognized on the streets of Ottawa. The folks who make the festival possible understand the mainstream media isn't ready for truly and unabashedly conservative films. They wish it were different, but they're not getting mad -- they're getting even. What conservative filmmakers lack in Entertainment Tonight coverage they make up in elaborate grassroots campaigns and online distribution. Word-of-mouth contributed greatly to the success of Serenity, which is still playing in theatres, and there's no reason it won't do the same for other features including the unsettling Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West, which won the award for Best Feature at the Liberty Film Festival. American conservatives know what it's like to fight against lefties for a bit of space in the media. They know what it's like to be called names simply because they don't support publicly financed abortions or because they want to abolish government welfare programs. But unlike Canadian conservatives, most of whom are stuck in the same rut, their American cousins are doing more than just complaining about the unfairness of it all. They're making their own movies and finding a way to distribute them -- for a profit. And it's starting to work. Even in Hollywood. Get used to it.

Darfur is a Texas-size region of Sudan. The Sudanese government and its militia proxies have killed roughly 70,000 civilians, raped and mutilated untold numbers of others and caused about 3 million refugees to live in camps. Sudan could teach Serbia a thing or two about ethnic cleansing. This carnage has been going on since 2003. The Sudan People's Liberation Army, a small band of revolutionaries from Darfur, were the only excuse the government needed to wage war on unarmed citizens in the region, who also happen to be fellow Muslims. As I was reading story after story about the horrific treatment of the innocents by government-backed forces, I always wondered why there was no mention of the victims fighting back. "Some do defend themselves," said Bill Garvelink, acting assistant administrator for the Bureau for Democracy, Conflict and Humanitarian Assistance in the U.S. Agency for International Development. The United States has given about $600 million since 2003. "But Sudan has helicopters and AK-47s. People in the camps have machetes," Garvelink said. International treaties covering humanitarian aid prohibit giving any side arms to defend oneself; otherwise no aid workers would be allowed to bring in supplies to a troubled region But Sudan is not allowing aid workers much access anyway so the refugees are caught in the middle, he said. Amnesty International prefers to end the genocide by moral persuasion instead of self-defense. "We at Amnesty International are not going to condone escalation of the flow of arms to the region," said Trish Katyoka, director of Africa Advocacy. "You are empowering (the victims) to create an element of retaliation. "Whenever you create a sword-fight by letting the poor people fight back and give them the arms, it creates an added element of complexity. You do not know what the results could be." But we do know what they are now. Self-defense could exacerbate the situation, Katyoka said. "Fighting fire with fire is not a solution to the genocide. It is a dangerous proposition to arm the minorities to fight back." Better they should be slaughtered. Katyoka hopes the United Nations can do something -- someday -- to stop the killing. She also hopes Sudan's leaders are charged with crimes against humanity in the International Criminal Court. But at this rate, will there be any eyewitnesses left to testify? Even Dr. Ali B. Ali-Dinar, founder and director of the African Studies Center at the University of Pennsylvania -- who was born and reared in Darfur -- does not believe in arming the victims. "That could create a vicious cycle of violence," Ali-Dinar said. "The cycle now is mainly orchestrated by the government. Give guns to the traumatized and it will definitely get out of hand. There is no limit then, for them to stop." He, too, hopes the international community comes to the rescue -- someday. (Ali-Dinar will be speaking 2 to 4 p.m. on Sunday at the Episcopal Church of the Redeemer, 5700 Forbes Avenue in Squirrel Hill. There is no charge for admission. It is sponsored by the Pittsburgh Darfur Emergency Coalition.) Darfur is one more reminder that gun control is genocide's best friend. Dimitri Vassilaros is a Trib editorial page columnist.

Addressing a gathering of party faithful in Ottawa Friday morning, Harper said his plan is aimed at a complete government makeover. "This is about more than the specific sordid details of this specific scandal," he said to cheers. "It's about accountability." In a speech outlining what amounts to his party's election campaign platform, Harper made clear his vision for the Prime Minister's Office. "When I become prime minister I will undertake an unprecedented overhaul of the federal government," he said. "That is my commitment to you." "Cleaning up government begins at the top," he added, accusing Prime Minister Paul Martin of deflecting blame whenever the taint of scandal touches him. "Under Paul Martin's watch the waste and mismanagement and corruption has continued." But Harper said things would change under his leadership, beginning with the introduction of a "Federal Accountability Act," as soon as the Conservatives form a government. Highlights of the proposed legislation include: * more powers to independent officers of Parliament, including the auditor general and ethics commissioner; * measures to ensure federal grants and contracts "provide value for taxpayers' money; * "real protection" for whistleblowers; * reform of access to information laws * merit-based appointments to public office; * a complete ban on corporate and union donations, and an annual cap of $1,000 on individuals' donations to federal political parties; * a mandatory five-year break before former ministers and other senior public officials can lobby government; "We must clean up corruption and lift up the veils of secrecy that have allowed it to flourish," Harper said, promising to "replace the culture of entitlement with a culture of accountability." Talking to reporters a short while later, federal Public Works Minister Scott Brison said Harper's history as an unregistered lobbyist makes him an unlikely booster of increased accountability. "Given that Harper operated for four years as an unregistered lobbyist as head of the National Citizens' Coalition," the Nova Scotia Liberal MP said. The minister nevertheless welcomed the Conservative plan as a "contribution to the public policy debate." But rather than touting his proposed legislation, Brison said Harper's agenda would be better served by submitting the ideas for inclusion in Justice John Gomery's second and final report. "I would suggest that the Conservative Party use its intervenor status before the Gomery Commission to submit these as part of his deliberations," he said. Harper's eye on election victory -- and the chance to write the laws of the nation -- was likely brought into focus by a new Ipsos-Reid poll that shows his party in a virtual dead heat with the minority Liberals. But the Conservative leader warned his party to be confident, but not complacent. "Polls go up and polls go down -- don't be distracted by that," he said. "Let's keep assuming we're behind." ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 4 Nov 2005 13:04:12 -0600 (CST) From: "Bruce Mills" Subject: Mentally ill inmates more than double in decade http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20051104/mentally_ill_i nmates_051104/20051104?hub=Canada Mentally ill inmates more than double in decade Canadian Press OTTAWA - A new report says the number of offenders in federal prisons with significant mental health problems has more than doubled in a decade while the correctional services' ability to handle them has deteriorated. The annual report by the correctional investigator says a large proportion of mentally ill federal inmates never receives appropriate treatment and many end up back on the street within a few years. Investigator Howard Saper says it's an issue of human rights as well as public safety. Saper says the same federal prisoners would receive far more appropriate treatment if they had cancer or some other serious illness. He's calling on Correctional Services Canada to commit adequate funding to treat mentally ill prisoners and train staff in recognizing and responding to mental illness. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 4 Nov 2005 13:11:39 -0600 (CST) From: "Bruce Mills" Subject: Give up your guns, urges Toronto's top cop http://www.cbc.ca/story/canada/national/2005/11/04/gunamnesty-051104.html Give up your guns, urges Toronto's top cop Last Updated Fri, 04 Nov 2005 13:52:23 EST CBC News Toronto police Chief Bill Blair announced a gun amnesty Friday that will run until the end of November. "If you have firearms in your home and you want to take the opportunity to dispose of them safely ... we're here to help you," said Blair. Toronto police Chief Bill Blair, Friday. He urged anyone who wants to turn over a gun to simply call police. Under the amnesty program, no one who turns over a gun will be charged with possession. Ontario Attorney General Michael Bryant said the amnesty includes both illegal guns and legal ones. "Turn it in and save a life. We know half the guns on the streets of Toronto are stolen," said Bryant. So far this year, 44 people in the city have died of gun violence, a toll Ontario Public Safety Minister Monte Kwinter has called shocking.

J.P. Cleroux of Ram Overhead Door Systems says the phenomenon began last weekend. "It affects a 25-mile radius. That's huge," said Cleroux. Angolan Ambassador Miguel Puna's operation is one of those affected by the problem. He can no longer open his embassy's electronic gate. "Not only in this gate, but even other gates, we are having a lot of problems," said Puna. "This could cause security concerns." Two companies that have plotted the reported problems on maps say they appear to cluster in the Byward Market area just east of Parliament Hill, and a corridor leading southeast from there. The Door Doctor has received more than 100 calls from irate customers who can't operate their doors using the usual remotes. The company installs and services Liftmasters, the most popular door opener in North America, which operates by radio frequency. The signal is transmitted on the 390-megahertz band, which is used by virtually all garage door openers on the continent. That's the same frequency used by the U.S. military's new state-of-the-art Land Mobile Radio System. Cleroux said operators have already been warned of this phenomenon by service updates from U.S. manufacturers, who started seeing the same problem around military bases last summer. The strong radio signals on the 390-megahertz band simply overpower the garage door openers. One technician likened it to a whisper competing with a yell. "From what we hear, it is the American Embassy that's operating on 390, and they're the only ones who can block it. But I'm not 100 per cent sure, because we're all kind of up in the air until we know exactly what's going on," said Cleroux. The U.S. Embassy denies any transmissions on that frequency. So does the Canadian military. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 4 Nov 2005 13:17:21 -0600 (CST) From: Joe Subject: Michael Moore Owned Halliburton, Defense Stocks Michael Moore Owned Halliburton, Defense Stocks Breaking from NewsMax.com Editor's Note: Al Franken, Michael Moore, Pelosi, Hillary, Teddy Kennedy - are all, no doubt, seeing red that Peter Schweizer's new book "Do As I Say (Not As I Do)" has just hit the #2 spot on Amazon. Filmmaker Michael Moore has made a career out of trashing corporations and said he doesn't own any stocks due to moral principle. How then did author Peter Schweizer uncover IRS documents showing that Moore's very own foundation has bought stocks in some of America's largest corporations - including Halliburton, other defense contractors and some of the same companies he has attacked? In his blockbuster new book "Do As I Say (Not As I Do): Profiles in Liberal Hypocrisy," Hoover Fellow Schweizer reveals the glaring contradictions between the public stances and real-life behavior of prominent liberals including Al Franken, Ralph Nader, Ted Kennedy, Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi. But he reserves some of his sharpest barbs for Moore. In his first documentary "Roger & Me," Moore skewered General Motors, Schweizer points out. In "The Big One," he went after Nike and PayDay candy bars. "Bowling for Columbine" was an attack on the American gun industry. Oil companies played a major role in "Fahrenheit 911." His upcoming film "Sicko" pillories drug companies and HMOs. On his television shows "TV Nation" and "The Awful Truth," he criticized HMOs and defense contractors. He once said that major defense contractor Halliburton was run by a bunch of "thugs," and suggested that for every American killed in the Iraq war, "I would like Halliburton to slay one mid-level executive." Publicly, Moore has claimed he wants no part of these companies and won't own stock. In his book "Stupid White Men," he wrote: "I don't own a single share of stock." He repeated the claim in a 1997 letter to the online magazine Salon, saying: "I don't own any stock." Privately, however, he tells the IRS a different story, Schweizer discloses in his book. The year that Moore claimed in "Stupid White Men" that he didn't own any stock, he told the IRS that a foundation totally controlled by Moore and his wife had more than $280,000 in corporate stock and nearly $100,000 in corporate bonds. Over the past five years, Moore's holdings have "included such evil pharmaceutical and medical companies as Pfizer, Merck, Genzyme, Elan PLC, Eli Lilly, Becton Dickinson and Boston Scientific," writes Schweizer, whose earlier works include "The Bushes" and "Reagan's War." "Moore's supposedly nonexistent portfolio also includes big bad energy giants like Sunoco, Noble Energy, Schlumberger, Williams Companies, Transocean Sedco Forex and Anadarko, all firms that 'deplete irreplaceable fossil fuels in the name of profit' as he put it in ?Dude, Where's My Country?' "And in perhaps the ultimate irony, he also has owned shares in Halliburton. According to IRS filings, Moore sold Halliburton for a 15 percent profit and bought shares in Noble, Ford, General Electric (another defense contractor), AOL Time Warner (evil corporate media) and McDonald's. "Also on Moore's investment menu: defense contractors Honeywell, Boeing and Loral." Does Moore share the stock proceeds of his "foundation" with charitable causes, you might ask? Schweizer found that "for a man who by 2002 had a net worth in eight figures, he gave away a modest $36,000 through the foundation, much of it to his friends in the film business or tony cultural organizations that later provided him with venues to promote his books and film." Moore's hypocrisy doesn't end with his financial holdings. He has criticized the journalism industry and Hollywood for their lack of African-Americans in prominent positions, and in 1998 he said he personally wanted to hire minorities "who come from the working class." In "Stupid White Men," he proclaimed his plans to "hire only black people." But when Schweizer checked the senior credits for Moore's latest film "Fahrenheit 911," he found that of the movie's 14 producers, three editors, production manager and production coordinator, all 19 were white. So were all three cameramen and the two people who did the original music. On "Bowling for Columbine," 13 of the 14 producers were white, as were the two executives in charge of production, the cameramen, the film editor and the music composer. His show "TV Nation" had 13 producers, four film editors and 10 writers - but not a single African-American among them. And as for Moore's insistence on portraying himself as "working class" and an "average Joe," Schweizer recounts this anecdote: "When Moore flew to London to visit people at the BBC or promote a film, he took the Concorde and stayed at the Ritz. But he also allegedly booked a room at a cheap hotel down the street where he could meet with journalists and pose as a ?man of humble circumstances.'" That's hypocrisy with a capital H! Editor's Note: Al Franken, Michael Moore, Pelosi, Hillary, Teddy Kennedy - are all, no doubt, seeing red that Peter Schweizer's new book "Do As I Say (Not As I Do) has just hit the #2 spot on Amazon. - ------------------------------ End of Cdn-Firearms Digest V8 #587 ********************************** Submissions: mailto:cdn-firearms-digest@sfn.saskatoon.sk.ca Mailing List Commands: mailto:majordomo@sfn.saskatoon.sk.ca Moderator's e-mail address: mailto:akimoya@cogeco.ca List owner: mailto:owner-cdn-firearms@sfn.saskatoon.sk.ca FAQ list: http://www.magma.ca/~asd/cfd-faq1.html and http://teapot.usask.ca/cdn-firearms/Faq/cfd-faq1.html Web Site: http://teapot.usask.ca/cdn-firearms/homepage.html FTP Site: ftp://teapot.usask.ca/pub/cdn-firearms/ CFDigest Archives: http://www.sfn.saskatoon.sk.ca/~ab133/ or put the next command in an e-mail message and mailto:majordomo@sfn.saskatoon.sk.ca get cdn-firearms-digest v04.n192 end (192 is the digest issue number and 04 is the volume) To unsubscribe from _all_ the lists, put the next five lines in a message and mailto:majordomo@sfn.saskatoon.sk.ca unsubscribe cdn-firearms-digest unsubscribe cdn-firearms-alert unsubscribe cdn-firearms-chat unsubscribe cdn-firearms end (To subscribe, use "subscribe" instead of "unsubscribe".)
