Wacky news of the week...AKA are you F&#$king kidding me?

A man in ALBERTA successfully beat a traffic ticket because it was in English only.  The case goes to the Supreme Court, where judges side with the wacky driver demanding the province spend a small fortune in legal costs to ensure the driver can continue his legal battle so people who break driving laws can read about their crimes in two official languages.


This didn't come cheap either. It will cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to get all this on the rails so that the most English of Provinces "gets in line"....Makes one wonder what would happen if I got a ticket in Quebec and asked for it in English.....


How about the case of a woman who, for whatever reason fired one of her employees. The woman was a strict muslim who wore strict muslim dress and was only employed at the shop for a few weeks. 
But when the muslim woman took her ex-employer to the human rights tribunal  (HRT) they immediately sided with the muslim woman and never let the employer make her case. Its going to cost the employer $36000 and if she doesn't pay then the  HRT will come after her house, sell it and make the payment.
The thing is though a court, a real court not a kangaroo court like an HRT, said that the ruling is illegal and illogical but the HRT is still pressing their case AND paying for the legal representation of the complainant.


a Toronto University study (read public funded money) came up with the stunning finding that children need to wear helmets, balls need to be deflated and goalposts need to be padded because of the incidence of injuries to kids playing soccer.......WTF! Its a kids game, Stop bubble wrapping them and let them play the game....but academics have studied it so it must be correct.


Lastly, To round off the week, two NDP MPs stepped forward to insist if the CRTC relaxes its control of our airwaves, American-style hatred will fill Canadian television screens and radio stations. What these fellows really mean is they will be forced to tolerate more people who do not like the NDP. There are, after all, tens of millions of such sensible Canadians out there.

When did the neurotics, the special-interest obsessives and the control fanatics take over in this great land, and is it too late to use them for soccer practice? Answers please in both languages and have them vetted by the NDP.
