Newsquips briefing note: Thanks for the $50 in web site life support from Liam, yesterday, via PayPal. For that, the site lives another day! Liberals are against that, but we don’t care. We got cheek. And we turn it. … The state-owned CBC gets $2,739,726.00 (Two million, seven hundred thirty nine thousand, seven hundred twenty six dollars) PER DAY from you, the taxpayers. Liberals are in favor of THAT.
1. One of my early goals this morning is to simply post this blog entry so I can bump the picture atop yesterday’s blog entry down and out of my sight. I bet others agree. UPDATE: New, very-favorable-to-me picture availability… from what was my Newsquips item #3, now moved to #2 so it’s closer to the top…

”GUILTY is a much-needed reality check on a Left gone wild,” it says inside the jacket. “When it comes to bullying, no one outdoes the Left. Citing case after case, ranging from the hilariously absurd to the shockingly vicious, Coulter dissects so-called victims who are invariably the oppressors. For instance: While B. Hussein Obama piously condemned attacks on candidates’ families, his media and campaign surrogates ripped open the court-sealed divorce records of his two principal opponents in his Senate race in Illinois.”

3. (the Newsquip item formerly known as 2.) RETAIL SALES… UP in September. Weird. “New car sales helped push Canada’s overall retail sales to $36.3 billion in September, up 1.1 per cent from August. The figures, released Tuesday by Statistics Canada, show the strongest sales increase in eight months.” And “Overall, five of the eight sectors considered—automotive, food and beverage stores, pharmacies and personal care stores, clothing and accessories stores, and general merchandise stores—posted higher sales, accounting for roughly 75 per cent of retail sales.” And “The increase marked the fifth jump in six months for the province.” … CBC isn’t bothering to report on this, at least not on their front page’s features section today at 7:40 AM PT, as CTV did. But it won’t be long before CBC plasters all manner of “ECONOMY CRASHING – RUN FOR YOUR LIVES” banners all over their screens as usual, in their daily THE CAPITALIST ECONOMY IS FINALLY TANKING NOW, SO RUN FOR YOUR LIVES AND THIS TIME WE MEAN IT advocacy. … Moments after I hit ENTER on this Newsquip… for real…
Followed immediately by this one:
Followed immediately by this:
But no freak-out story on the rising retail sales. Nothing. Not even on the socialism-reliant network’s “YOUR BUSINESS” segment just now, at 8:05 AM PT.
4. CARLETON UNIVERSITY: Liberal-left politically correct nutbars in action —Ottawa radio station CFRA online poll question right now: Do you support a motion to the Carleton University Students Association calling for cancellation of Shinearama fundraising for Cystic Fibrosis, because according to the motion the disease “only affects white people, primarily men” and Carleton students want fundraising to “serve their diverse communities”? … Carleton University is one of those which has banned pro-life groups and silenced them in every way they could… Poll results so far: Yes: 4.25%. No: 94.8%. (Hat tip to PTBC reader Matt B.)
5. From the Financial Post this morning: In contract talks with the CAW earlier this year, GM calculcated [SIC] that a factory worker at a Detroit three plant in Canada gets paid $77.75 per hour in total compensation versus US$47.50 for a factory employee working for a Japanese automaker in the United States. GM said it wanted to bridge that gap. … How can anyone live on $47.50 per hour? That’s only about $87,000 per year. “We don’t see this as us being the problem,” said Ken Lewenza, the CAW president. OK you can laugh now.
