A Toronto man arrested Tuesday on terrorism charges remains in custody after making a brief appearance in a Brampton courtroom this morning.

Mohamed Hersi, 25, was remanded until Friday, when a special bail hearing will be scheduled, likely for next Wednesday or Thursday.

“They’ve got the wrong person,” Hersi’s brother, Yassim, said outside the courtroom. He said his brother had recently graduated from health science studies at the University of Toronto’s Scarborough campus.

Federal Crown attorney Iona Jaffe told the court that Hersi has been charged with attempting to participate in a terrorist activity and providing counsel to a person to participate in a terrorist activity.

The lawyer who postpones because he spends the day with his newborn is a far better man than the one who doesn’t invite his own children to his 50th birthday party, and then threatens anyone who might talk about it.

That is all.

Regarding the hospital at Jane & Finch:

“These are rooms that were built for the intensive-care patient of the 1950s,” says chief operating officer Barb Collins. “That’s not the intensive-care patient of today.”

No shit. Probably not a lot of gang shootings in 1950’s Toronto…

PS - Shocking! I don’t mention even once how the Mooooslims are trying to kill us all!

Every day is a new horror in Canadian socialist health care.

A couple of weeks ago it was emergency patients being triaged in a Tim Horton’s donut shop*. This week it’s an Ontario man who became ill while vacationing in Mexico, and was left there to rot because Ontario had no available hospital beds for him.

Clayton Leveille, 21, became seriously ill while on vacation with his girlfriend last July. He had medical insurance, but waited seven weeks to be taken home because there were no hospital beds available in his hometown of St. Catharines, his mother said.

After three weeks in a Mexico hospital, Leveille was taken to a hospital in Florida where he was treated for four weeks. He was finally brought home and treated, but died in January, said Laurie Leveille.

The extra sauce of insult on this hard-to-swallow death is that it’s the New Democratic Party (aka the far-left socialists) who are moaning about the lack of hospital beds. Of course, were it not for the disaster of the Canada Health Act as created by NDP-er Tommy Douglas and consistently upheld by those who followed in his goosesteps, this boy would have been treated in a Canadian hospital and may have lived.

To have Andrea Horwath or any other socialist lay this at the feet of anyone but themselves is disingenuous at best, and an insult to the dead kid at worst.

*A friend of mine is having her infant son treated in St Tim’s over in Vancouver. He’s 16 months old, and suffers from terrible seizures. Yesterday he almost died - again. She is currently fighting with the province of British Colombia to send her son down to Seattle for the necessary genetic testing he requires, but the province is balking at the cost.

Our lives mean nothing here.

Let the grieving end. After a long 15 months with no Brass Balls Radio, a long conversation between myself and producer Mike Williams took place today. BBR is returning to webwaves!

Not only will Brass Balls Radio be coming back for download on Monday, March 28, but we have an even bigger announcement:

Brass Balls Idol

Fact is, ol’ Mike never much cared for being a host. So I need a sidekick, someone who can hold his own with an attention-whore like me. I need a preferably male non-Canadian (the Take That Media network already has more Canadian Content than is required by law).

If you think you have what it takes to be charming and amusing, send me a 90 second recorded clip of you reading a headline and opining.

Send it to rightgirl AT gmail DOT com. Doesn’t have to be polished, just has to be good. If you capture my interest, I’ll invite you to co-host with me for one show. If you capture the audience’s interest, you win the coveted sidekick slot. If you can charm the panties off me and make me laugh, I’ll likely sleep with you.

Again, that’s a 90-second clip of you being fabulous. If you’ve got Brass Balls, you are HIRED. If you don’t, you get voted off.

Capitalism may be to blame for the lack of life on the planet Mars, Venezuela’s socialist President Hugo Chavez said on Tuesday.

God bless Hugo Chavez. Just when the world is falling apart and irradiating itself, he finds a way to make us all smile.

The women in my mother’s family are predisposed to a lot of crap. Illiteracy, inbreeding, not knowing where babies come from (I have 250 cousins - true story), cattiness, cunty-ness, poor-white-trashiness, poor-Injun-trashiness, cancers of the non-gender-specific varieties, phenomenally bad choices in men… the list goes on and on.

Two other things we’re predisposed to are obesity and diabetes.

Last Sunday, March 12th, my cousin Joanie passed away. She had been overweight and often morbidly obese for most of her adult life. She was only in her early 50’s when she died.

Joanie was… much of what I described above, but without the meanness. She was a truly good person with a kind heart. She was known as the family’s angel, who would be scarce most of the time, and then would not leave your side when you were sick and dying. She was there when my mother died, and even though they were not related by blood, was there for my father too. Life didn’t treat Joanie well, but she is being rewarded now. That is one thing I have no doubt about.

Anyway, most of us can stand to lose a few pounds. I myself have lost 21 since Christmas Eve. In addition to losing a few pounds around the middle, we also need to keep our blood sugar in check. Have this tested annually, when you have your regular physical.

And do yourself a favor - lose #5lbsforjoanie.

Think Sarah Palin was making it up? Think the Tea Party is being hysterical?

From Kathy. She’s so right!

the only reason the Irish went ahead and called their national airline Aer Lingus with a straight face was cuz to the average Irishman, “eating out” just means grabbing a soon-to-be-vomited curry on the way home from the pub.

Rush Limbaugh is baffled by the Japanese wasting their time with recycling at their shelters (see also Chairs, Deck and Titanic). Warren Kinsella - who loves the whiskey so much he gives it up for Lent (Warren, I read the divorce pleadings. Observing Lent isn’t going to bail you out of Hell.) - calls Limbaugh a “crypto-fascist drug addict.”

This would be the same Warren Kinsella who accused the Chinese (aka Toronto’s single largest voting bloc - and did we mention that Kinsella is working for Dalton McGuinty as we move toward this year’s provincial election? Chinatown may want to keep that in mind) of cooking up and serving him cat.

Dawg knows well enough the difference between a culture and a country. He makes the argument that if the Holocaust wasn’t a German “barbaric practice,” then honor killings aren’t a Muslim one.

Except they are.

The Holocaust was a move by the German state to eliminate Jews. Whereas honor killings and genital mutilation are practiced the world over by Muslims. Doesn’t matter whether they are from Pakistan or Somalia, Germany or Dubai. It isn’t throughout the entire Muslim world, nor is it sponsored by a particular state.

Dawg, I call your bullshit because I know you are smarter. You are simply being disingenuous.

…just to have the chance to shoot him myself.

This morning, coming off the subway, a busker was playing and singing Imagine. Seriously? How much more of a cliché can you get? I really don’t need communism before my morning coffee. So here’s a roundup of shit we can do without.

If you don’t lift your feet when you walk, I should be allowed to shoot your kneecaps off. It’s not like you’re using the knees God gave you anyway.

Libertarians don’t belong anywhere. They are miserable, contradictory and generally selfish people. FFS, they make ME look generous and community minded!

When eco-freakiness turns around and bites itself in the ass. I’m really sorry to hear about the whales, but it might be a good way to teach the left-wing bleeding hearts that there are always unintended consequences, and they should think with their heads and not their hearts.

I like this idea. If we push the gay agenda in citizenship classes and exams, we can weed out the honor-killers in our midst.

At a time when the rest of us are battening down to survive the balance of the recession, Scottish taxpayers are teaching kids a natural biological function. What’s next? Shitting?

And finally, not for the squeamish or faint of heart. Images of the pain that Muslims inflict. Crime scene photos of the innocent Fogel family, murdered in their sleep for the crime of being Jews, while Palestinians handed out candy to celebrate - the same way they did on 9/11.

For those of you who don’t know the story of how RightGirl was born, it was an issue like this one.

An office manager has been awarded a five-figure sum after she was sacked when she got pregnant while still on maternity leave.

Jacky Scott , 37, was awarded the compensation at a recent hearing after her former employer, a timber merchant, was found by an employment tribunal to have sexually discriminated against her.

She was already on a year’s maternity leave after giving birth to son Jacob when she found out she was expecting daughter Matilda.

She wrote to her bosses at Cox Long Limited on September 23, 2009, to say she was pregnant again.

She told her bosses she intended to return from her original maternity leave as planned on November 1 that year but would take another year’s leave from March 22, 2010.

Barely two weeks later she was told her position was potentially redundant and then, on November 2, 2009, she was dismissed. An appeal was later rejected.

However, a tribunal heard that a line manager at the company, Nigel Simpson, was found to have told a colleague that he would rather make a member of staff redundant than give them maternity leave.

Cox Long was also found to have failed to pay Mrs Scott an annual bonus while on maternity leave and had given her misleading information about bonuses.

When I lived in the UK, I was working in Human Resources. While chatting away to a group of people (predominantly women) on a BB one night, I said that if I were an employer, I would be more likely to hire men rather than women of child-bearing years, because the cost of maternity and long-term absence is far too expensive. I was told by the moderator of the board that my account would be shut down and I “should find somewhere else to hang out.” Two days later, girlontheright.com went live.

When I returned to Canada, I went to work in the legal department of a large corporation. Every year would see us hire female lawyers who would be pregnant within six month of being hired. Why? Because if you are in a firm and you get knocked up, your career is over. But in a corporate environment, you aren’t expected to make rain, so you might as well brood. Of course, none of these women ever took into consideration the high cost of bringing in a secondment from a firm to cover their leave, or how much work may have been missed in their absence. (Side note: That law department was gutted in 2008. For some reason, the idiot honchos retained the young women and laid off most of the men. The company had a pro-active policy of hiring women and minorities in order to boost their public image.)

While I don’t think anyone should be discriminated against on the basis of race or sex (except Muslims - those people are dangerous!), I think that common sense should be applied on all sides. Sadly, common sense is in short supply.

And ignorant people sleep on their backs like the doped white mice in the college lab.

Show us yer tits!

Actually, it’s pretty shocking that the celebration of the last day before the Lenten season has turned into such debauchery. The history of Fat Tuesday - Mardi Gras in French - is merely about finishing off what’s in the cupboards in a great feast before the fasting of Lent begins. Somehow that evolved into a celebration of gluttony, then a shunning of societal morals, and finally the out-and-out depravity of Carnival.

If you’re not interested in baring your boobies for beads, just stick with the pancakes and other fatty foods. Enjoy meats with gravy - Catholics are expected to forgo meats and sauces during Lent. Have a drink, but not too many.

And seriously, if you have knipples* (NSFW - or while eating), keep your fucking shirt on. Nobody needs to see that shit.

*Knipples: Nipples that hang so low, they graze your knees.

I mean, killing the Jews was a seriously bad idea.

But the Gypsies? Not so much…

A gypsy wife has become the world’s youngest grandmother - aged just 23.
Rifca Stanescu, from the village of Investi, Romania, told how she gave birth to her daughter, Maria, while only 13.
Despite her mother’s pleas to stay in school, Maria gave birth to son Ion at the age of 11.

Rifca, now 25, told the Sun: ‘I am happy to be a grandmother but I wished something else for Maria - and something else for me.
‘Ion is a good boy - and he is already engaged to a girl aged 8. Boys are always good to have - they don’t have to suffer as much girls I think.’
Born in 1985, Rifca defied her family’s wishes and ran away with jewellery seller Ionel Stanescu when she was 11 and he was 13.

Muslim abandons child to go fuck new woman. Child is neglected and dies. Father sues over shild’s death.

Yeah, clearly Ishaq Abuzaire cared so much about his daughter that he abandoned her. Now let’s see how much money this Muslim parasite will get out of the little girl’s death. I mean, girls aren’t worth much beyond the goats you can get for them, right?

He hadn’t seen his seven-year-old daughter for more than a year.

But after she starved to death at the hands of her mother and the woman’s boyfriend he was quick to criticise the authorities for their failure to help.

Now Ishaq Abuzaire, 38, who had walked out on Khyra and five other children to set up home with another woman, has been given legal aid to sue his local council.

Despite admitting his own feelings of guilt in the aftermath of Khyra’s death three years ago, Mr Abuzaire has launched legal action against Birmingham City Council over a catalogue of failings in the run up to the tragedy. He will claim a five-figure sum in compensation.

She had been reduced to scavenging bread from a neighbour’s bird table because the pair kept their kitchen at the house in the city’s deprived Handsworth suburb bolted shut in a ‘behavioural code’.
Khyra was also beaten with a cane and forced to stand outside in her underwear for hours.
A serious case review found she died after a catalogue of ‘missed opportunities’ by social workers and other agencies.

Keep it classy, Ishaq.

Ebooks were supposed to be indestructible. Where you had disk-space, you had literature – in perpetuity. Which is bad news for publishers now deprived of that extra round of sales revenue engendered by books being dropped in baths.

HarperCollins has got wise to this: it has announced that US libraries will be allowed to lend ebooks only up to 26 times. Its sales president, Josh Marwell, believes that’s only fair: 26, he claims, is the average number of loans a print book would survive before having to be replaced. HarperCollins UK won’t rule out applying this ebook strategy to British libraries - and should it do so, it can expect a frustrated reaction.

At a time when governments should be making drastic cuts to already struggling libraries, ebooks were like the light at the end of the tunnel. But now Harper Collins wants to rip the last rug right out from under libraries. there is NO reason beyond avarice for them to do this.

Look, libraries are by nature a socialistic enterprise. However, they serve a larger purpose than just giving poor people free stuff - they also promote literacy. And perhaps, as a resident of Toronto, I see more homeless people keeping warm in winter and cool in summer in the library than I see kids coming in for afterschool programs, but it does happen. I also see tons of parents coming in to pick up books for their toddlers, hoping to instill a love of reading in them at an early age. This is, as philosopher Charlie Sheen says, WINNING.

The last thing America needs is more illiterate people. It’s also the last thing Harper Collins needs. Illiterate people don’t buy books or join book clubs. They go to bars and beat their wives. Harper Collins is promoting domestic violence!! (ok, not really, but work with me here).

In other news, you can promote literacy and pad my bank account by buying your book - electronic or otherwise - using this link to Amazon.com.

…but it’s hard sometimes. Like, I could give her the benefit of the doubt and say that her absolutely indefensible tweet from yesterday was written in a fit a pique, a moment of passion. I get passion. But do we need a piqued and passionate person in the White House with their finger on the trigger?

Common sense & decency absent as wacko “church” allowed hate msgs spewed@ soldiers’ funerals but we can’t invoke God’s name in public square

Why should I, as a Canadian, better understand the First Amendment of the Constitution, than a prospective presidential nominee? Why should I have to explain the most sacred document to its owners?

Sarah, Sarah, Sarah. The First Amendment makes it clear that all public speech, however indefensible, is permitted free from government intervention. That doesn’t mean there are no consequences - an American could be fired or harassed by other private citizens for his or her views - but it means that the government has to shut up and live with it. It’s what makes being American so damn great.

The Westboro Baptist “Church” is revolting, but they have every right to stand on public property and yell about God hating fags, no matter who their nonsense upsets. Even if that means the parents of a dead Marine have to hear it. It sucks, but it is what it is. That’s what the Marine was fighting for.

Why, oh why, do I need to explain this to someone who wants to run the country?
