Vancouver Secrets

Give Them A Lane and They’ll Take The Whole Bridge

Happy Friday – Vancouver’s downtown commuters got something else to complain about other than the heat.

The monthly Critical Mass ride is a stupid way to prove a point, and we should be called what it is: Bicycle Terrorism.

Now that the ride is over, they’ve managed to give a few thousand drivers a good reason to hate cyclists. Great protest by stupid people.

Our mayor used this group in his bid to get elected and even took part in a Critical Mass ride last August.

So if you have any complaints, drop him a friendly phone call at (604) 294-7340

Glad I drive a motorcycle.

Saturday Night Video: How To Get Millions To Watch Your Wedding Video

This video of a couple’s from St. Paul, Minn is getting over 1 million view a day. Beats any wedding I’ve been to.

Republicans For Ignatieff

Great new site that is getting behind Iggy. And driving the left nuts.

Who’s really behind this?

Some of the great quotes:

Message To Vancouver’s Bar Owners

“An organization must not, as a condition of supplying a product or service, require an individual to consent to the collection, use or disclosure of personal information beyond what is necessary to provide the product or service.”

“Individuals who violate the Personal Information and Privacy Act are liable to fines of up to $10,000, and companies can be fined up to $100,000.”

In Vancouver, you need to have you ID scanned into a BarWatch program before they allow you in. The process was probably designed to catch underage drinkers and troublemakers.

Someone decided it would be great to build a database. What other things they may be using the data for is anyone’s guess.

Maybe next they’ll address the practice of businesses asking for our health care number? This is an even worse invasion of privacy, and I have never been able to understand why someone like a cable company or utility would need my health care number.

Freedom is on the horizon.

US Health Care Plan – Simplified

Here’s the detailed flow chart of the complex health care reform proposal by Democratic congressional leaders.

The chart identifies at least 31 new federal programs, agencies, commissions and mandates that accompany the unprecedented government takeover of health care in America.

The attached chart depicts how the health care system would be organized at the national level if the Democrats’ plan became law.  These new levels of bureaucracy, agencies, organization and programs will all be put directly between the patient and their health care.

Now the Americans can quit using Canada’s free health care as an argument – the Obama plan looks like something right out of Communist Russia.

Full size here.

Dems trying to censor the chart here.

Bleeding Billboard

From Australia: Bleeding Shame.

What will they think of next?  Let’s hope PETA doesn’t see this.
