Morning Roundup

Heritage Minister wants Canadian history taught in all high schools

It's about damn time. Too bad the Feds have no jurisdiction over education.
=======
Things are heating up in Lebanon again. This time it's the Muslims who want Syria to keep its nose out of Lebanon's business.
=======
Gay B.C. activist leaves Omar Khadr $700 in will

Good thing he lives in Canada. If he was in Afghanistan, he'd be hanging from a crane.
=======
Government says it will pass Sask. MP's Indian Act reform bill

And he's a member of a First Nation, too. Wonder how the AFN will react to this? No doubt they will oppose it. After all, they gotta have something to blame everything on.
=======
Ambassador Stevens warned of Islamic extremism before Benghazi attack

Which reminds me, how many days is it now? This October has been full of surprises. You're going down, Obama.
=======

Bye.

Edmonton terrorism suspect ordered extradited to N.Y. for Iraq bombing trial

Oh, those Scots. They do love a good joke.

Life and soul of the Mars party
"The community of Glenelg in the Scottish Highlands has twinned itself with Glenelg on Mars."
[---]
"Many of the 500 folk who had bought tickets for the celebrations had got into the spirit of things. They wore alien antenna hair bands. Glitter from the sparkly balls wobbling above their heads soon covered hair and clothes like fallen stars."
[---]
"There are also Glenelgs in Ontario, Canada, and Adelaide, Australia.

Even if those other Glenelgs had tried to do the same they would have struggled to match the hospitality and imagination of the Scottish one.

It had provided performers dressed as blue aliens who blew bubbles and played the bagpipes. There was also a race-against-the clock competition using a replica rover built by enthusiasts from Shetland, a memory card with a message from The Sky at Night's Sir Patrick Moore and a Tartan Martian Ceilidh with cocktails called Red Planet and Little Green Men."
I would have loved to have been there.

This will have to do:





But I digress.

Here's another thing the AFN won't like:

Did Europeans visit N. America as early as 2,000 BC?

And best of all:

Toews stands firm: Omar Khadr is a terrorist, not a child soldier

Cue, screaming leftards.

Well now I begin to understand the Scottish treat, deep-fried Mars Bars.

Re the Glove & Mail article "Edmonton terrorism suspect ordered extradited...", I see the Comrade Censors disabled Comments to the article, "for legal reasons".

Legal reasons, my ass! IMO, the G&M got too many comments from real Canadians, contemptuous of Islamist terrorists and hoping for harsh justice for this murderer of 5 American soldiers.
