Chrissy Snow
Merry Christmas!!
And I have posted this picture simply because Suzanne Somers played the part of "Christmas Snow" in that wonderful old TV series Three's Company.

Have yourself an Eco-Christmas -- that's an order
It didn’t get a lot of press, but the recent Copenhagen Climate Change summit issued a series decrees concerning the Holiday Season.
These decrees have essentially established new environmental Christmas traditions.
If you want to legally enjoy Christmas you must now adhere to the following rules:
All festive sing-alongs must include the song “I’m dreaming of a non-globally warmed Winter season.”
Santa Claus must now wear green instead of red and he must look like Al Gore.
Instead of reindeer, Santa’s sleigh must be portrayed as powered by solar panels. (The same goes for Rudolph’s nose.)
Burning of yule logs or any other non-renewable resources is strictly prohibited, unless the burners have first paid a carbon tax.
“Christmas” lights are banned unless they draw their energy from windmills.
On Christmas Eve, all parents are now required to read their children a poem which begins, “Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house not a creature was stirring, except for David Suzuki, who was snooping about looking for illegal beer fridges.”
Instead of receiving a lump of coal, naughty children will now receive recycling bins stuffed with environmentally friendly products.
Christmas trees are now forbidden; instead families will now decorate a pesticide-free “Christmas tree seed”, which must be planted the following spring.
All food served at festive gatherings must be “organic” and “grown locally”. Since this is Canada and since nothing grows here in the dead of winter, all meals will therefore consist of whatever walnuts, fruitcakes and candy canes are left over from last Christmas.
Instead of hanging up stockings, Canadians must now hang up reusable canvas bags, the uglier the better.
So those are the new Eco-Christmas rules and regulations.
Happy Holidays!
(Please note these rules do not apply to any Third World Dictatorships)

Carbon Copy Tax
The Afghan detainee issue will not hurt the Conservative government, the prorogation of Parliament will not hurt the Conservative government, the fallout from the Copenhagen Climate Change summit will not hurt the Conservative government, but a flip flop on carbon taxes -- that definitely would hurt the Conservative government.

Conservatism in Canada
Is Canada moving to the Right?
Interesting CP article on that topic (and it's not interesting just because it happens to include a quote from me!)

New OLA site
The Ontario Landowners Association has just come out with a revamped website.
It's all part of the OLA's increased efforts to promote and protect property rights.
Property rights, of course, is one of those issues we don't hear a lot about. And that's too bad, because the right to own and enjoy property is crucial for a truly free society.
That's why the OLA's mission is so important. And it does a truly great job in exposing and opposing attempts by politicians and bureaucrats to infringe on our freedoms.
So check out their site and consider offering your support.
