thou dost in us command

Restore the inclusive language of Canada's nathional anthem. Lyrics changed in 1913.

a. original - "thou dost in us command"
b. current - "in all thy sons command"
c. proposed modified original - "in all of us command"


I like #a. And never mind Diane Francis or an order of the golden fleece man, Archduke Karl Thomas Robert Maria Franziskus Georg Bahnam Habsburg-Lothringen, whose uncle Franz Ferdinand and aunt Sophie were assassinated in Sarajevo by black hand secret society and who says nationalism's not relevant well, as transnationalists, they wouldn't care.

wiki: referred to in Austria as Karl Habsburg-Lothringen, in France as Charles de Habsbourg-Lorraine, in the Czech Republic as Karel Habsbursko-Lotrinský, in Hungary as Habsburg Károly, and by his royal name as Archduke Karl of Austria

best of 2014

Super economic growth! Italy meeting deficit targets! New statistical rules, European System of Accounts (ESA 2010). Drugs, prostitution and smuggling, all untaxed and extant prior, will be part of Italy's, the UK's and Spain's GDP as of 2014. Italy can now comply with EU regulations for rates of national debt. On paper, Britain is practically booming. Spain's GDP will grow by up to 4.5%.

The Mechanics Of Electoral Fraud In Canada

2 thumbs up! Micro-targeting from Bush-McCain 2000 to Canada. The initiative for the bingo card scheme actually came from a meeting of the minds between the Conservative Party of Canada and the Bloc, a party whose avowed purpose is to break up Canada. 

 
Elections Canada: 1. Underfunded, 2. Denied Adequate Enforcement Resources, 3. Denied Legislative Powers To Prosecute Electoral Fraud In A Timely Manner. Bill C-31: An Act to amend the Canada Elections Act and the Public Service Employment Act.

In other news, Pierre Karl Péladeau wants to be PQ leader.

The externalization of the unique stable voter identifier number and the use of the Elections Canada bingo card constitute the 2 elements that enabled the robocall voter suppression scandal. - statement of Will Arlow to the Election Canada Advisory Committee of Political Parties (ACPP)

chow chow

Maybe this isn't so odd. (China zoo under fire for disguising dog as lion)

Foo Dog/ a barking African lion
Foo Dog/'lion'
If 'guardian lions' are chow chows... that accompanied Mongolian armies... ('Teddy bear'/Teddy Roosevelt bear was modelled on Queen Victoria's chow chow puppy). Chinese emperors in the Tang dynasty kept 50,000 chows for hunting.
Luxury dog ‘with lion’s blood’ sold for $2 million in China (link)

Wikipedia: Chow chow (1915)
In China, lions and dragons are mythological. Chows are likely a Tibetan mastiff/Samoyed cross.

BC Rail

I don't know how much ("taxpayers"/public) R&D money was invested in BC Rail (PGE-BCR), since February 27th, 1912, but in 2004 Premier Gordon Campbell's Liberal Socred-Con government broke its election pledge not to sell it.

http://pgrfm.bc.ca
It was owned by the public as a crown corporation from 1918 until 2004. In September 2011, Gordon Campbell became Canada's High Commissioner to the United Kingdom. A terrible mistake, 2003.

A reporter: What are you afraid of?
A reporter: Don't you owe people an explanation?
Rob Ford [silent]

Rob Ford [laughs]

A reporter: Why should people trust you ever again, Mr Mayor?
Rob Ford: Thank you, thank you.

panda app

Yumyum, eat Panda. I heart panda (China Daily).

panda, oops, black bear steak
Grilled bear steak.
Regarding carrion and fish, the meat won't taste as good as it does when a bear eats berries or grass.

Miss Paul Ryan-Speaking

Transcript: What they're offering people is a full stomach and an empty soul. The American people want more than that. You know, this reminds me of a story I heard from Eloise Anderson. She serves in the cabinet of my buddy, Governor Scott Walker. [crowd cheers, Paul Ryan blinks]
paul ryan
cont. She once met a young boy from a very poor family and every day at school he would get a free lunch from a government program. He told Eloise he didn't want a free lunch. He wanted his own lunch, one in a brown paper bag just like the other kids. He wanted one, he said, because he knew a kid with a brown paper bag had someone who cared for him. This is what the left does not understand.

A spokesman for Eloise Anderson now says she "misspoke."
