Steve Janke at Angry in the Great White North is on a bit of a roll today. He has caught the NDP in a flagrant misprepresentation of President Karzai's opinion of Canadian military operations in Afghanistan, which they have ironically titled Reality Check. This one is downright slimy.
The Anchoress assesses the Day of Rage that ended with more of a whimper than a bang and sees some cause for hope.

John Burgess at Crossroads Arabia links to one of the thoughtful Muslim responses to Pope Benedict's recent lecture in Regensburg. Amir Taheri first takes issue with the violent reactions to the speech and then takes issue with the speech itself, debating its points in an academic manner.
Reader_iam at Done With Mirrors highlights the case of a Bangladeshi journalist, Salah Uddin Shoaib Choudhury, who may soon pay with his life for his calls for tolerance and understanding between different faiths, most notably with Jews.

There is a reason there are many chiefs like that in BC: BC did not wait for the laggard feds, but went ahead and settled land claims. It is easy to be a dynamic community once the land and governance issues are dealt with.
Across Canada, 300 land claims have been settled in 30 years. 1052 are waiting to be settled.
This is ridiculous. Those left behind are getting more upset by the minute, as is the United Nations. The feds really have to deal with this on a big scale, and fast.
