I started this blog in 2009 as a way to tell people about the pro- and anti-Israel events I was witnessing in Toronto. In between events, I posted photos I'd taken of miscellaneous stuff as well as links to news articles.
Blogging requires a lot of time and consistency. Since August, work, family and other hobbies have demanded more and more of my time, and I have neglected this blog.

Coren was fantastic!
As Coren spoke, York student Jesse Zimmerman, who is often seen at anti-Israel events in Toronto, could be heard interjecting unintelligible sounds and words such as "Palestine!" from the back of the room. He started out not too loud and gradually gained in volume.

Blazing Cat Fur and Five Feet of Fury have reports on the bizarre mishmash of people at the rally today.
As Dutch says, the uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt are following the model of the French Revolution rather than the American Revolution. It's not promising for those of us who value democracy as embodied by Western civilization.

This strange armoured-type vehicle was parked next to the rally. There were no people in the front seat. A police officer spoke to someone in the back of the vehicle through a circular opening and said they couldn't stay there.
Very strange.

Don't ask clerks at your local bookstores to check their computers for it or you'll be told the book isn't being published until 2012. Don't bother looking for it on Amazon.ca, either. You'll be wasting your time, just like I did earlier this week.
Lights Out is available through Steyn's website here. And at Amazon.com here.
