Good question, the system okayed that then if they change retroactively that is clearly unfair. Duffy's question is one of residence, it should be a straightforward question. It should have been caught the first year, instead of building up over a number of years. Then repayment is much less onerous. At most the Senators should be on the hook for nothing more than repaying the amounts, and have the ability to challenge the changes. The Senate is a self-governing body, which it should be. They are after all Parliamentarians. Improvement in transparency is good but should also include what it is they do and their responsibilities. Few understand that and thus the MSM exploit their ignorance. Prior to 2012 the guidelines ,and guidelines is what they are, were less restrictive. What is reasonable? That question isn't being addressed. Parliamentarians, which Senators are, should have the ability to travel and engage in political dialogue in a fairly broad manner. The 2012 guidelines seem to be an attempt to re-define the activities to a narrow one based on what legislation or Committees have before them. That restricts our ability to dialogue with them on our concerns and allows the P.M.O. to restrict their activities. > > Were the bureaucrats in on the corruption? Interesting, but it seems to be a cabal of Senators who are attempting to spin this rather than open up a public dialogue on what the role of Senators should be. Two Senators were interviewed on CBC's radio's the House Sat. morning. Senator Hugh Segal had numerous examples of broader political activity and valuable research that Senators are engaged in. > or is corruption and abuse of expense accounts endemic? Well the Auditor General's office is going to review Senate spending but that will likely take 2 years before it is finished and released. But what is reasonable for expenses is a political question. Deloitte's Report doesn't acknowledge that or discuss what the role a Senate Parliamentarian has. Is there some spending that is inappropriate, probably, but on a year to year basis it wouldn't be large and should be easy enough to fix. > > There is something rotten here and it is not just the folks at the top who > are taking the fall. If the Senate decided to change the guidelines why apply them retroactively? That is clearly unfair and suspicious. Who decided that and why? The MSM is in high dungeon, pumping up the volume on numbers that on a year to year basis aren't so large but look so when added up over 3 or more years. Keep in mind the MSM are virulently anti-Conservative and anti-West. None them are asking what is a reasonable expense in the role Senator's have as Parliamentarians, ones who are relatively independent compared to M.P.s. Treating Parliamentarians like low level junior executives or low level employees on a company trip, that isn't their role politically. As for staying over night in Toronto in order to catch an earlier flight to Saskatoon to avoid late night highway travel in rural Saskatchewan, to me that is reasonable. I've put over 600,000 kilometres on those roads and highways in all kinds of weather, day and night. And that was when there were fewer huge potholes, less traffic and fewer moose wandering onto the highway. The current restriction that rental expense should only cover a mid-size compact car isn't reasonable outside the big cities. The larger, safer car or SUV or pickup truck should be allowed for those traveling in rural areas. Sask. MLA's in rural areas are allowed a 4x4 SUV and that is reasonable. Also, Senators are mostly older people valued for their experience not in the physical prime of their life and some accommodation for that fact should be respected. > > Maybe the bureaucrats who vetted, approved, and paid these expenses should > be retired - a golden handshake may be much less expenseive in the long > run than paying the spurious expenses of ersztz poltiicians. The guidelines need to be publicly discussed. They need to be broad enough to allow a Senator to be engaged in a wide range of political issues, particularly if they have a personal interest or expertise. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, August 21, 2013 10:43 pm From: "Dennis R.

Our campaign to ensure these historically significant Lee-Enfields are made available to collectors for purchase, and not destroyed, begins now. Unless, of course, the GoC has no need for the revenue...? -----Original Message----- From: "Dennis R. Young" Date: Wed, August 21, 2013 12:47 Subject: Harper promises new firearms for Canadian Rangers Harper promises new firearms for Canadian Rangers STEVEN CHASE, HAY RIVER, NWT - The Globe and Mail - Last updated Wednesday, Aug. 21 2013, 6:47 AM EDT 85 comments http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/harper-promises-new-firearms-for-canadian-rangers/article13887769/ Stephen Harper is reassuring the lightly armed Canadian Rangers, who carry Second World War era rifles as they patrol Northern Canada, that Ottawa still intends to buy them new firearms. The Prime Minister is spending time with the Rangers, part-time reservists in the Canadian Forces, during his annual tour of Northern Canada. He is visiting with them in the Arctic hamlet of Gjoa Haven. The Rangers provide a military presence in this country's sparsely populated north, reporting to the Forces if they spot something such as a foreign submarine. The government began efforts to buy more than 10,000 firearms for the Rangers, but the project ran into obstacles, and stories have surfaced in recent years of challenges in replacing parts for the old Enfields. Mr. Harper said it is time the Rangers got new firearms. "I am told there is no difficulty in servicing the weapons at the present time, but this is a concern, and we believe it is time," he said. "The Department of National Defence is in the process of scoping out a program for replacement and I expect that to happen over the next few years." Each Canadian Ranger is issued basic kit including a red Ranger sweatshirt, a ball cap and a rifle. The Prime Minister had no updates on the government's much-delayed efforts to buy new search-and-rescue planes, which are important for northern Canadians. The Conservatives promised the purchase in the 2006 election campaign, which vaulted them into office. Canada's auditor-general warned in a recent report that Ottawa's search-and-rescue capabilities are in trouble in part because its fleet of specialized aircraft is becoming too old. There's still no date for new SAR planes. The federal government has been trying to buy new planes for years, and a draft request for procurement is being shortly. The Prime Minister said Canada is reviewing its search-and-rescue assets: "As you know we have significantly expanded the Canadian Ranger program, which is a vital part of the search and rescue" capabilities, he said. Separately, Mr. Harper took umbrage at a reporter's description of his policy style as "trickle-down" economics, a term that in the 1980s became synonymous with U.S. president Ronald Reagan's laissez-faire approach to the economy. He noted $5.6-million in training cash for mining announced for NWT aboriginals and some from Nunavut on Tuesday was anything but "trickle down" help. "I have never used the term 'trickle down.' That is certainly not even remotely indicative of what we're doing here today. This is direct support to people, including aboriginal people, in this territory that will put them directly into jobs," Mr. Harper said. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 22 Aug 2013 07:45:09 -0600 From: "Dennis R.

By: Patrick J. Buchanan 8/20/2013 In the near term, bet on the men with the guns. The Egyptian Army, being slowly squeezed out of its central role in the nation's life by Mohammed Morsi, waited for the moment to oust the elected president and crush his Muslim Brotherhood. Morsi was deposed and arrested, and the Brotherhood leaders rounded up and jailed. Their Cairo encampments were cleansed by gunfire. Hundreds of brothers were cut down and killed, and thousands wounded. Gen. Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, gazing into his mirror, must see Col. Gamal Abdel Nasser gazing back. In the near term, the Brotherhood is in disarray. It backed the Arab Spring, heeded America's call for free elections, and won parliament and the presidency, only to have the army, with America's backing, overthrow its Islamist government in a military coup. If the Brotherhood feels betrayed, if it believes its sons who opposed the coup died as martyrs, if it has concluded that the Americans, with their endless blather about democracy, are duplicitous hypocrites, are they entirely wrong? In the short term, America must get on with the generals. For it is they who bottle up Hamas in Gaza, battle al-Qaida in Sinai, protect the Christian Copts, grant our Air Force overflight rights and our Navy first-in-line transit rights through the Suez Canal. And it is the generals who continue to honor the terms of the Camp David accords. Understandably, Israeli diplomats are imploring us, the slaughter aside, not to cut our ties to the Egyptian military. Yet it is hard to believe the long-term future belongs to the generals. Looking back, of all the forces unleashed by the Arab Spring, the Facebook-Twitter crowd calling for secular democracy harvested the greatest publicity. But even then, other forces seemed to have deeper and broader roots in the hearts and minds of the masses. Those forces: tribalism, nationalism and Islamism. The generals may work hand-in-glove with the Israelis. But anti-Zionism remains one of the few rallying cries that can unite secularist and Islamist, Sunni and Shia. And as the Jews have been expelled from the Arab world, today it is the turn of the Christians. They have seen priests murdered, churches torched and congregations massacred in Iraq, Syria, Egypt and beyond, in Ethiopia and Nigeria - by extremists who cite the Quran for what they are doing. And after the Jews and Christians are gone, it is likely to be the turn of the Americans. Why? First, the Americans are seen as standing behind Israel's regional superiority and dominance of the Palestinian Arabs. Second, while we defend our wars in Afghanistan and Iraq as liberations from dictatorship and obscurantism, they are seen over there as America using her power to impose upon these nations our institutions and our ideology. And while America's achievements may inspire awe, America's culture, suffused with feminist and Hollywood values, evokes revulsion. Millions of Muslims are willing to die to keep America and American values out of their societies. How many Americans are willing to fight and die over there to force them on Arab peoples? Third, there is a growing confidence in the Islamic world that the future belongs to them. Whence comes this confidence? Western peoples are dying, as Muslim populations are exploding and Muslim migrants are pouring into Europe and the United States. While Islam is booming in the East and being welcomed in the West, Christianity is dying in the West and being expelled from the East. It is not unreasonable for Muslim visionaries to see the next 500 years as an era of Islamic ascendancy, as the last 500 saw a Western ascendancy. Fourth, while Egypt's army has the guns and, temporarily, the banner of patriotism, it has no faith, no philosophy, no ideology to justify an indefinite hold on power. When, like Hosni Mubarak, this generation of generals is seen as incompetent and repressive, upon what do they fall back to justify their legitimacy to the next crowd in Tahrir Square? Indeed, this is America's dilemma. When Japan attacked and Adolf Hitler declared war, and when Josef Stalin set out to dominate the world, all we held dear - faith, family, freedom, country - said resist. When Osama bin Laden took down our towers, we united to take down him and al-Qaida. Millions of Muslims are willing to fight to drive us out of their part of the world. How many Americans are willing to send our sons to die for secular democracy and American values in their part of the world? After World War II, when communists captured the banner of nationalism, they were on the move in China, Vietnam, Cuba. When Ronald Reagan recaptured the banners of nationalism in Angola, Afghanistan and Eastern Europe, suddenly it was the communists on the run. Ethnonationalism and religious fundamentalism tore apart the British, French and Soviet empires. All are working now against the U.S. Imperium. The generals in Egypt won this round. But is there any doubt as to which way the wind is blowing? Patrick J.

The two officers were accused of forging the signature of Daniel Audet, whose home they searched in February 2001. But Audet says he never signed a document consenting to the search.

It has an established reputation, comes in several colours, is impervious to weather, etc., etc. But this would be too simple, so we can look forward to an extensive trials competition with conditions like: (a) the rifle must be made in Canada, (b) sub-contracts must be let to companies in Quebec, (c) magazines must be incompatible with current 'civilian' "Scout" rifles and (d) pinned to 5 rds except for the 10 rd mags issued by a commissioned officer for use during hostage taking stand offs. There may also be an in-built 'self-destruct' mechanism that can be activated remotely in the event that a rifle falls into criminal hands. This device will add thousands to the cost of individual rifles and before the final model is adopted, we will have seen several MK's come and go, the earlier Mk's declared obsolete and becoming hot items on the gun trade web sites and black market.
