As if there weren’t enough wrong with our injustice justice system already, we get a little insult to go with the injury popping up in, of all places, Alberta. It seems that multiple-murdering scumbag Daljit Singh Dulay is of the opinion that having to serve even the wussy-assed 25-year excuse for a life sentence that is all you can get in this country is just too much to ask of him.

That’s right; Daljit the twit thinks he should be able to file for parole after serving a piddling 15 years for gunning down three people — Mukesh Sharma, Gary Dulay and Kulvinder Dulay — with an assault rifle in Calgary in ’91. For those of you that might need a refresher on this bastard, he’s the one that hunted down his sister for a little old-fashioned honour killing after she eloped with someone her family didn’t approve of:

Mukesh, owner of a video store in a Marlborough strip mall, had hired close friends Gary Dulay, 28, and his wife Kulvinder 20, to do some renovations. The couple had fled to Calgary from Vancouver to elope.

What Mukesh and the Dulays didn’t know was Kulvinder’s brother Daljit, furious over the marriage that went against the family’s wishes, hired a private investigator to track down the couple so he could carry out a so-called honour killing.

After hiding out in Calgary for a month, Daljit found his sister and her husband in their car, leaving Mukesh’s shop.

He walked up to the car and fired almost 30 bullets into the young couple.

Mukesh, who had been in his own car with his pregnant wife Parveen, and young children, noticed a pregnant woman running towards his store for safety.

Mukesh ran to the woman and placed himself between her and Daljit –taking a fatal shot — while saving her life.

Daljit was convicted of two counts of first-degree murder and one count of second-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison with not so much as an apology to the families.

And this asshole wants a Get Out Of Jail Free card. And what do you think is going to happen if he does manage to say all the right warm, fuzzy, social worker pablum and get himself sprung under that “faint hope” clause? Well, there’s the final insult right there:

When convicted triple murderer Daljit Singh Dulay is granted parole, he will likely be deported to India without having to finish his sentence, say officials.

Isn’t that just ducky? And do you know what the WORST part about this is? If he gets off scotfree, I won’t be surprised at all. It’ll be just another in a long line of stupid judge tricks that we’ve been seeing in this country for years.

Well, I didn’t see this one coming. Usually this is the kind of common sense that you just don’t see from a Lefty but hey, truth really is stranger than fiction. According to the story currently floating about, it seems that some clever little bureaucratic buggers in Queen’s Park seem to think that they’re the second coming of Martha Stewart. They’ve taken it into their little taxpayer-funded heads to yank out and replace all the drapes in the Queen’s Park offices. Never mind that there’s nothing wrong with the ones that are there now; that would just confuse the issue.

That’s right: it seems that those nasty drapes just have to go. As much as this latest waste of my money irks me, it’s not what baffles the bejabbers out of me. Nope. What has me scratching my head damn near hard enough to make my scalp bleed is that the only one who seems to have stood up and called “bullshit” on behalf of Ontario taxpayers so far isn’t a Tory, like you’d expect. He’s not a blue Grit, either. He’s a… er, well… he’s a Dipper… 😯

Peter Kormos is refusing to relinquish his old office curtains for what he describes as an unnecessary and expensive window-dressing exercise at Queen’s Park.

The NDP MPP said he was told by staff that all draperies are being replaced to give the legislative building a uniform look from the outside.

“If Martha Stewart gets elected to the legislature maybe we could understand how this would be a priority,” Kormos told Sun Media yesterday.

Kormos said that when he pressed staff to justify the expense, he was told the new curtains are fireproof.

No one is allowed to smoke in the building, and the existing curtains are in good shape with no signs of deterioration, he said.

“It’s just silly,” Kormos said. “I said, ‘No way, I don’t want you touching my drapes.'”

Well ain’t that the damnedest thing you’ve seen lately? Guess that’s gonna leave ol’ John Guess-What-Party-I’m-With standing there with that “he stole my balloons!” look on his face.

I never thought I’d say this but, hat’s off to the Dipper…

Gee, I don’t know… How about damn near anybody?  To the surprise of no one, except of course the TO (Red) Star, the ratings for the Ministry Of What You Should Think’s latest flop took a header when the second episode was aired.  It seems that Little Mosque on the Prairie (Laura Ingalls Wilder must be whirling dervishly in her grave) just isn’t turning out to be the endearing new smash hit that the loopy Left all told us it was.  Or maybe the nearly 50% drop in viewership was due a million Canucks suddenly realizing they were out of beer at the same time and couldn’t get back in time to watch. 🙄

Gee whiz, I wonder how that happened?  Could it maybe be that the largest audience for sitcoms in the country is made up of white Christians and the show seems to portray every non-Muslim in the cast as a bumbling closet bigot?  In comedy, you can get away with making fun of your audience but not outright insulting them (unless you’re Don Rickles), which is exactly what Little Mosque seems to do.  In the show that Michael Coren called “visual drudgery“… well, I’ll let him say it:

From beginning to end the show thumps us over our non-hijab wearing heads with a clumsy hammer. Any fears about Islam, we are told, are based on our own ignorance and bigotry.

Everyone is a caricature in Little Mosque, but some caricatures are more obnoxious than others.

The Muslim characters are nice and kind and ordinary in that quintessentially Canadian way. Some of them may be silly and old-fashioned but they’d never hurt a fly, let alone kill an infidel.

The non-Muslim caricatures, however, are repugnant. Especially if they’re cops.

So scratch that demographic out of your audience.  Okay, maybe they’re targeting the Muslim demographic, that whopping 1.9% of the population, half of whom probably won’t approve of the show in any case.  Nah, I didn’t think so, either.

Even if it wasn’t a thinly-veiled backhand at anyone not a raving moonbat, it would still fail.  Because it’s crappy.  Crappy in that quintessentially CBC way.  It’s the kind of writing and production that can only be made by a bunch of lefties secure in their deathgrip on the governmental funding teat.  Your tax dollars at work.

Quick: what’s black and white with a cherry on top? Any dieas? Aw, come on now, at least one of you out there must have some idea what I’m babbling about. Some of you must have heard the question before. If you know the answer to that one, you’re probably at least as old as me and you’re also going to find this picture to be, shall we say, vaguely familiar:

Yes, that really is just what it looks like: the OPP are back in black… and white. It seems that the OPP have decided to do away with the white cruisers that they’ve been puttering around in since the late 80s or so and get back to the good ol’ black-and-white. And no, it’s got nothing to do with going retro. 🙄 One of the main reasons for the return to the old school paint job is visibility, plain and simple:

“We welcome the return of the traditional black and white cruisers,” said Minister Kwinter. “Their enhanced visibility on Ontario’s major highways will add significantly to the safe driving message we want to reinforce with the motoring public. We support the OPP and the important work police officers are doing to keep our communities safe,” added Minister Kwinter.

The black and white cruisers will provide a distinctive presence to OPP stepped-up efforts to make Ontario highways safer and to bring traffic safety issues in line with other important public safety issues and concerns.

“Officer and public safety are the primary concerns,” said Commissioner Fantino. “The black and white patrol vehicle will be instantly recognizable as an OPP patrol car and, with the new LED high visibility roof lights and vehicle markings, will have a greater impact on the visibility of OPP vehicles patrolling our communities and our roadways,” added Commissioner Fantino.

Yeah, you can spot those things about a mile away, as near as I can remember. And yeah, most of slow down when we see a cop car. All we need now is for some loopy lefty to start hooting about “turning back the clock” that the story can be complete… 😆

Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, to part two of my run for that li’l old fatwa brass ring. In case you missed yesterday’s post on this, I’m putting up a few YouTube vids that were filmed inside some British mosques by an undercover reporter with Channel 4.

So far, so good. Keep that hate mail rolling in because, you know, that’s the best way to get a guy like me to toe the line.

Well, now; lookie here, willya? The Smoking Stasi have new marching orders. Check out what the Fiberals tried to do on the Q-T. It seems that the high-falutin’ Mr “I-Know-What’s-Best-For-You” Jim Watson (Dolt McSquinty’s Ontario Fiberal Minister of Health Promotion) has nothing but your best interests at heart when it comes to banning smoking. Unless you go someplace like a casino, where the Ontario government gets a cut.

Government-owned casinos in Windsor and Niagara Falls are allowed to build outdoor shelters for smokers, even though bars and restaurants in Ontario cannot do so under a provincewide smoking ban, Health Promotion Minister Jim Watson said yesterday.

The Smoke Free Ontario Act, which became law in June, doesn’t allow bars and restaurants to provide enclosed areas to protect smoking patrons from the weather, but Mr. Watson said casinos aren’t covered by that provision because their main business is not serving food or alcohol.

Yeppers. If you slide on in to your local pub (maybe run by a guy having almost as much fun making ends meet as you are) and you feel like a smoke while you’re there, you gotta stand outside in the elements and get soaked, freeze your arse off, or whatever. That’s because, under that lovely little thing called the Smoke Free Ontario Act, that the Grits decided to beat us over the head with, bars and restaurants aren’t allowed to provide even semi-enclosed areas to protect smoking customers from the rain, snow, sleet and other things that aren’t supposed to bother mailmen.

But HEY! Guess what? If you wanna go and blow a bunch of your hard-earned dough in some slots joint where the back-scratching swine from the Big Smoke can snout up to the trough, you get to light up in a jolly little “outdoor covered structure” with walls and a roof and probably ashtrays, too.

Can you say “bullshit,” boys and girls? I knew you could. As the Freeps put it in their editorial page today:

Uh-oh.

This sounds like trouble, smells like a rat and looks like one rule for the government, another for the private sector. To be sure, it’s an injustice of the highest order for Ontario’s hospitality industry.

It’s cynical, it’s hypocritical, it’s a betrayal and it may mark the point at which Ontarians finally lose all faith in the provincial Liberals.

Well, okay. Maybe something good will come out of all this two-faced sanctimony, after all.

We were told, in the most melodramatic of tones, by the Fiberals that the smoking ban was being brought in to protect workers from the Great Plague Of Western Civilization, second hand smoke. The latest HypoGrit hyperbole is that these little smoking pits are all fine and dandy because, Watson has barfed, employees will not have to enter these shelters.

HEY, ASSHOLE: pub and eatery owners were saying the same God damned thing over a year ago when you saddled them with your little bullshit law in the first place!! They also told you that if make going out a pain in the ass for smokers, places like them were going to lose money. Could it be that you’ve finally gotten it through your thick skulls that smokers are going to go to some other place to smoke… and take their money with them? Just like bingo halls and charities said they would.

The casino plan quietly received the green light as revenues plummet because of the tough, new no-smoking law.

Well, DUH! The Grits hooted away that there would be no such drop in revenues because, with all those nasty smokers out of the way, non-smokers would start coming out in droves and smokers would still keep coming out, anyway. Well, that never happened, did it?

News flash, HypoGrits: I smoke. It’s MY CHOICE. And I don’t like going to places where I can’t. Given the choice between a) going out and having to freeze my ass off and b) staying in and having a few friends over to watch the game, have some brews, scarf back some BBQ, whatever… I’m choosing B 9 times out of 10. I used to go out a lot; not anymore. And that’s why so many pubs and restaurants are closing, even though you boneheads said they wouldn’t. You assholes annoyed a bunch of us and cost plenty of other people their jobs.

And, come election day, we aren’t going to forget that.
