Ezra Levant as a blogger…and…activist Canadian style

Sunday, June 28th, 2009
There's a story here...

There's a story here...


Wow! Now I know who he is! I do support many of his viewpoints.

In a previous blog, I added part of a long list of top 10 bloggers. I was perusing the list and found Ezra Levant. It is relly worth going to the description of him: it’s huge ad intriguing. A glimpse of a writer in action. (I may or may not endorse his actions or work, however I certainly admire his achievements in writing!)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ezra_Levant
Publishing
In 2004 Levant co-founded the Western Standard, a national magazine with an emphasis on Western Canada, political conservatism, and libertarianism.[21] In October 2007 the magazine ended its print-run due to its unprofitability and became an exclusively online publication.[22] Levant sold the publication’s remaining assets to Matthew Johnson.[23]

A column by Levant appeared in the Calgary Sun on and off, over a ten year period, until October 2007 when the paper dropped the columnist because of an “internal personnel decision.”[24] He continues to write occasionally for the National Post.[25]

[edit] Human Rights complaint
On February 14, 2006 the Western Standard drew the attention of the Muslim community by reprinting the controversial editorial cartoons depicting Muhammad, the founder of Islam.[26]

Levant republished the Muhammed cartoons on his website in January 2008 on the same day he appeared before a hearing of the Alberta Human Rights and Citizenship Commission investigating a complaint by Syed Soharwardy of the Islamic Supreme Council of Canada, and the Edmonton Council of Muslim Communities about Levant’s earlier publication of the cartoon. Additionally, Sowharwardy has filed a complaint with Calgary police about Levant saying he fears for his safety because of “lies” he says Levant has been spreading about him claiming Levant is inciting hatred. Police said they were actively investigating the complaint.[25]

Levant was called before the Alberta Human Rights and Citizenship Commission and asked to respond to the complaint. At the demand of Levant and his lawyers, he was allowed to videotape his interview with Shirley McGovern, a human rights investigator with the commission. The videos of his interview before the Alberta Human Rights Commission were published on YouTube by Levant,[27] which received a notable amount of interest from bloggers and internet users, spending several days in the top ten viewed videos on YouTube. The videos have been collectively viewed more than half-a-million times, and excerpts of the audio and video been featured by many notable radio and television programs.[28][29] Soharwardy’s complaint was ultimately withdrawn [30] and the police investigation ended; however the identical complaint by the Edmonton Muslim Council proceeded. The complaint was dismissed by the Commission on August 5, 2008.

The timing of the Levant case was notable, in that it coincided with a high-profile case considered by the Canadian Human Rights Commission, the British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal and the Ontario Human Rights Commission. The case was initiated by the Canadian Islamic Congress against Maclean’s Magazine for the printing of material they alleged was also discriminatory towards Muslims.

Levant and several other conservative bloggers, as well as the National Post, are being sued for libel by lawyer Richard Warman as a result of comments made about the lawyer in relation to human rights complaints he has initiated.[31]

In July 2008, Levant was invited to be an expert witness before the U.S. Congress’s Human Rights Caucus,[citation needed] where he spoke about the tribunals.

See also: Canadian Islamic Congress human rights complaint against Maclean’s Magazine

[edit] Stance against the Alberta Human Rights Commission
In 2008 Levant republished the letter of Steve Boissoin that had gotten Mr. Boissoin fined $7,000 and ordered not to publicly comment on homosexuality again. Although a complaint was filed with the Alberta Human Rights Commission over Levant’s letter, the commission claimed his publishing of it was legitimate political discourse.

Levant denounced this inexplicable change in attitude as an indication of the uneven standards of the AHRC and the fact that it was intentionally anti-Christian. Levant noted that “100% of the CHRC’s targets have been white, Christian or conservative” and that “It’s legal for a Jew like me to publish [Boissoin’s letter]. It’s illegal for a Christian like Rev. Boissoin to publish it.”[32

Susan Boyle: winner of our hearts

Saturday, May 30th, 2009
Write,write,write, and leave me a comment,please.

Write,write,write, and leave me a comment,please.

I haven’t kept up with all the media on Susan Boyle. I did have to see the outcome of the contest. I also love the lyrics of Memory, but could not get the video here.

I am writing tonight about her because she opens the door to believing our dreams are worthy of a valiant pursuit. Some will say she did not win, and so it may seem. Let’s look at the transformation. We can sit at home. WE can wish. WE can get up and go about the steps. We can confront our fears and limitations. We can stride forward.

If we fall short so what? Look at how far she has come! If we went just a short way, our lives can really change, and often for the better. Often our days are tough and perhaps darken our spirits. Look, one does not HAVE to give in. One does not have to give up.
If we do not meet that dream, we have lifted our hearts and minds.

I applaud Susan Boyle for her courage, brillance, and wonderful voice. We all carry our version of our voice to be expressed in ur personal way. Walk with confidence, joy, and purpose and let your crativity blossom. Make you feel like writing doesn’t it? Well do it! Send me examples and I will share them.

Do enjoy and congratulations on your dreams!

Daytime meanderings

Write,write,write, and leave me a comment,please.

Write,write,write, and leave me a comment,please.

Full day
runaway to mountain
suuround us with beauty
light openings

breifly ignoring all the news.
each carrying our own personal load
each escaping
meeting age old remedy
nature

snow melt feeding river stream
rocks shining
water rushing to nowhere
or a destiny beyond present
consciousness.

friend lingering
awhile longer in hospital bed
another filtering reality
good friend unexpectedly
may leave this earth soon.

is there a graceful way
to let go?
water rushing down mountainside
determined to be free now.
Does it fufill the deeper purpose
does lliving fill with contradictions?

Stories are told, again and again.
Hearts bound with breath
treetops outline skies
clouds allow shadow breath.

Where is the courage
voices carry
release of those
about to die.

Remember to call Irene
again, she would want
to know

Louise Hays and Wayne Dyer on Love and Spirituality

journeys call us to return; walking always photo by Mary MacIntyre

“How may I serve?” Dyer
Want an extensive course on love and spirituality? Go to youtube to find many more videos from these aauthors and other people reflecting on the realm of spirit and love in the world.

You may not really need to have such homemade instruction. Ultimately the journey grows from within where you can connect deeply with your faith and beliefs. Life proides you with a glorious opportunity to explore spirit. If you already have much to share, then write and organize these feelings for others. I enjoy videos such as these simply because they are uplifting, and help me move out of my narrow preoccupation of daily circumstance.

Create a tone for your work. What vibration do you choose to carry with ou? Does love outshine fear and worry? Does faith grow strong in face of hardship? Does reflection and prayer become misplaced during lifestorms fury? (All those who say no, jump for joy!)

snap dragons blossom
early cool sunny morn
birds sing choirs to God

cats cry for breakfast
wind tickles their ears
walk barefoot upon the earth

i pray with gratitude
for flowing love within
i plant seeds that may
feed the hearts of those i meet
smile with earth and goddess
reach out unto the world
and heavens

Alan Watts and others On Spirit and love

Do We Remember?     Photo by Mary MacIntyre

Do We Remember? Photo by Mary MacIntyre

Let’s face it, we are on this planet briefly. If we were to exit today would we have brought enough love and spiritual awareness, belief and faith to through our lives? How would people remember us? How would we feel or people feel about us?

I’d like you to add to this, here or on your blogs. Let me know what you come up with. I think I used the wrong tags for my search. However, the unexpected proves thought provoking as well.
Add to these perspective by visiting: http://lifedailytips.com

As always comments are welcomed.

Love is also spiritual, and perhaps all love’s source comes from spirit. We all need to find renewing practises that allow us to ignite our faith, compassion, and love. One person I listened to suggested that merely breathing into your heart opens the love vibration. The more one expresses inner love the more it reaches out into the world.

Could we iniate from our individuaal spiritual faiths a love jamboree? Could we all meditate 10 minutes today, and any other day on loving? How far would this reach around our globe so in need of such compassion and Love?

Please participate.

Sharing your word. Consider Wayne Dwyer…

“The energy you have for creating what you want is in your thoughts.”
As writers, our words are sent forth to the world. We invite one another to listen, and imagine a world that we create with our words.

You have the power to reach many others. You have the chance to energize others. Sharing your word holds power. Power to do good. The best part, one line may start someone on a path to change their thinking or their path in life.

It does not matter where you are writing or what you are writing. Perhaps you are writing a mystery. As you explain how someone regards drinking tea, you unconsiously open the door of a tea ritual for someone.

Poele thirst for your words. You can send for a vibration that will ampplify the good of the world. You could plants seeds for social change. You could show the power of a theory or verse.

Also as you listen, you too can carve a new world for yourself and reach high new goals. Never give up. DO create time to write. If you finish the book, story, or poem you have takes enormous strides. If you share these stories with others, electricity spurts out communicating to the next and next, and others. Thoughts contain energy. Write and share your word.

Personalized Coaching with a Difference

What Is the Personalized Guidance Program?

It is a system designed and written specifically for you to address any challenges you are facing with applying the law of attraction to your life.

Why You Need It?

The movie ‘The Secret’ popularized the law of attraction but the movie is only a basic introduction to the law of attraction. For this reason many people are failing to apply the principals successfully to their lives. Our personalized guidance program will help you to overcome any challenges you are facing by supplying you with a complete and focused system.

What Makes It Different?

This system is totally unique because each system is created individually. When you order your Personalized Guidance Program you will not receive some standardized, pre-written, generic ebook, you will receive a system that has been generated just for you, with your specific challenges and goals in mind.

This program is not written for everyone, it is written for Only one!

Ponder That For A Moment

IThese are the famous although not last words of physicist Fred Alan Wolf in the movie “What The Bleep Do We Know.” I had to laugh, when coming to the end of the movie, the cameraman zoomed in on Mr. Wolf and with a cheeky little smile he leaned into the camera and said ‘ponder that for a moment’ I laughed because it was such an understatement after watching the movie.

The Secrets To Manifesting Your Desires

Actually there is no big secret to manifesting your desires. There is merely a process to follow. My shortened version of this process is Ask – Believe – Release – Receive.
Ask – In order to manifest your desires you must ask for what you want and you must also have a clear and precise knowledge of what it is that you want.

Show The World Your True Self
When you look at your body what do you see? Do you think positive or negative thoughts about yourself? Perhaps you think that you are too short or too tall, too thin or to stout, maybe you wish that you were prettier or that your nose was smaller or breasts bigger.All of us have looked at ourselves at some time or another and only seen the alleged faults.

How To Be Surrounded By Illness Without Effect
On my blog I once talked about my experience with attracting to myself a rather nasty cold and the method I used to attract good health. During the first two days of my cold while I was still focusing on the cause instead of working on a solution. I wandered if it was possible to be surrounded by people who were ill and not have it effect your life.

“Law of Attraction Tips”
Missing Ingredient Coaching has produced a series of ‘how to’ reports that are aimed at giving you manageable amounts of information to help you understand the law of attraction and master the manifestation process. Each month a new report will be added to the site so make sure you check back often to find out what is new. Here are the first reports to get you started.
Feeling Good
If you start to feel good the universe will immediately begin aligning itself to bring you your desires and as long as you maintain that feeling it is possible that everything you want will show up in your life with lightening speed.

Price: $17.00
Passion for Life
The purpose of this report is to offer you the knowledge and skills you need to discover what it is that you are truly passionate about and find a way to turn that passion into a life-long rewarding career.

Price: $17.00
Powerful Affirmations
There are many websites online that offer lists of affirmations for people to use but very few that actually talk people through writing affirmations. It is my hope to address that imbalance with this report.

Price: $27.00

More Coming Soon
Please check back as more reports will be added to the site soon.

Ray Bradbury on Short stories

imagination circles and rocks

imagination circles and rocks

Photo by Mary MacIntyre

Writing has enthralled me since I was 7 years old. My second grade teacher introduced me to poetry and that’s when I began to write. I was so curious, I kept writing more poems that day, and she finally said,”Go back to writing normal now, Mary”.

In High school I discovered Ray Bradbury. I had read little Science Fiction at that itme. He opened another door to imagination and the well crafted word. We can travel so far in these these realms.

I found this video intriguing. Please listen to his story. How often we let ourselves be defeated by not floolowing through, or lack of persistancy. Perhaps you are the next Ray Bradbury. Perhaps you are the next great book reviewer. Whatever your dream: embellish it. Pursue it.

Each time you have completed a project, be proud. Send it out and share with friends. Cherish it. We can now publish online, and let the world see our works. Who knows whom you may inspire. Could you also double stories sold per year?

I tell you it feels good to be paid for my writing. It feels better to be able to prioritize time to write. I can expand these skills in so many directions. I can reach out to you and others and be supportive on your journeys. Do send me your words. Your dreams. However, most of all write! Contact me here or at twitter.com/Makkinart
