A Closer Look At The Truth

2009-11-20T02:26:00.005-04:00

All over the country, Liberals are crying foul over the recent ten percenter mailed out to constituents featuring what appears to be the Liberal consensus on Israel's treatment of it's neighbors. Let's look closely at what the pamphlet really says.

On the top Left of the insert, we see the Conservative claim that the Government of Canada has led the world in refusing participation in Durban 2 hate fest against Israel. Upon reviewing our recent history, this appears to be true. We define proof as "evidence sufficient to convince". The evidence here seems to indicate that the first statement is true.

On the top Right of the insert, we see the claim that Liberals willingly participated in the overtly anti-Semitic Durban 1 Conference. According to Wikepedia, after four days of deadlocked negotiations, the United States and Israeli delegations withdrew from the conference. "The draft documents had stated "deep concern" at the "increase of racist practices of Zionism and anti-Semitism" and talked of the emergence of "movements based on racism and discriminatory ideas, in particular the Zionist movement, which is based on racial superiority". Alternative proposals, which the U.S. had supported, from Norway, acting as a mediator, and Canada were rejected by Israel. Apparently, Israel wasn't happy with our government. Our Liberal government, of which Jean Chretien held a majority. Is there any truth here? You decide.

On the Left middle of the insert, the Conservative claim that the Government of Canada led the defunding of the Hamas led Palestinian Authority. According to CBC, Peter MacKay said: "Not a red cent to Hamas," MacKay said on CBC's Inside Politics. "This is a terrorist organization." If the CBC printed it, you know it must be true.

On the Right middle of the insert, the Conservative claim that Liberals were against the defunding of Hamas and asked that Hezbollah be delisted as a terrorist organization. Well, there are two sides to this story. First, there's no doubt in my mind that Liberal Irwin Cotler does not support Hamas. He's rather sane. Then there's Michael Ingatieff. Here's how one person analyzed Michael's claim that Israel committed war crimes. I don't actually believe that Mr. Ignatieff hates Jews, but his own words didn't help him here. As for supporting Hezbollah, line up in the parade. The Conservative claim of Liberal support for Hezbollah is true, if you can believe the Canadian media. If you can't read, there's plenty of video footage.

On the bottom Left, the Conservative claim that they strongly backed Israel's right to self-defense against Hezbollah during the 2006 war: Guilty as charged.

On the bottom Right, the Conservative claim that Michael Ignatieff accused Israel of committing war crimes: In his own words, Michael admitted it. Why would anyone make this up?

Now, would someone ask Joe Volpe where in these two pages it say that any Liberal is an anti-Semite? Pizza lovers, yes. Anti-Semites, no. Perhaps it's just guilty feelings.

UPDATE: Ariela Cotler explains the truth from her point of view. You may not like it, but it's only fitting that I post this in defence of her husband, Irwin Cotler. As I said above, his feelings toward Israel were never up for interpretation to me. Of particular interest in the opinion piece is the following line: "If the Conservative mailer is asking me who is a true leader, my answer is an ethical and moral leader who can apologize when they err, and not a leader who distorts the truth and cynically divides Canadians for partisan gain."

I asked myself that question before casting my ballot the last few times, and it was my decision along with many others that resulted in the Conservative Party of Canada forming government.

Thanks for bringing it up, Ariela.

It's Enough To Make You Sick...

2009-11-03T22:23:00.003-04:00

There has been so much discussion about the Government of Canada's response to the H1N1 virus that one could be led to believe that we are living on a different planet, or perhaps under seige by Visitors of unknown origins. ( Sorry, but I had to plug the new ABC tv series, it's a great distraction from all the good things we have to appreciate about living in Canada.) According to Flucount, Canada is suffering approximately 3 deaths per million infections. According to MADD, it is significantly less than the fatalities from Alcohol related accidents in Canada.

Here's a simple truth: we could argue extensively about whatever cause we believe in until the cows come home without ever changing enyone elses opinion. For example, the anti-American's in our government will use the death of Canadian soldiers to promote their hatred and misunderstanding of our southern neighbors. They will point to statistics, just like I did in the first paragraph. They will not tell you how many farming accidents resulted in death in Canada during the same period, nor will they call for a ban on farming.

Here's another truth: Until we have a majority government, under any political banner, you will enjoy more of the same governance. A government constantly at war with itself is in the difficult position of having to defend everything while accomplishing little. If you are unhappy with the current government you will have the opportunity to vote them out. If you are unhappy with the opposition MP's send them a message. They and their advisers can do much better than calling people liars, especially when they've held the opinion that doing less and doing it later more than met their expectations.

People need healing, not hypocrisy.

Media Gone Crackers

2009-07-08T16:02:00.002-03:00

I couldn't help notice the latest 'scandal' in the Telegraph Journal.
Here is a sample:

"When Harper took the host, "everybody just paused and said, 'What did he do with it?'"‚" said one official who watched the pool feed with reporters who were not inside St. Thomas Church in Memramcook.
"You could see he was, 'Uh oh, I don't know what to do with this.'"‚"
The curiosity among Catholics has not gone unnoticed among Liberal insiders in Ottawa, either.
Henneberry said he has received a call on Harper's actions from a concerned Catholic, and he doubts that she is the only one puzzled and perturbed.
"She said she was very upset," he said, adding he had not seen the footage.
"She said, 'All weekend long it has been bothering me and I know I can't do something about it, but someone should.'
"She can't be the only one in this country that is thinking that."

Why not? Is Mr Harper supposed to bow to every religion?

"The issue was initially raised by Monsignor Brian Henneberry, vicar general and chancellor in the Diocese of Saint John.
“It's worse than a faux pas, it's a scandal from the Catholic point of view,” he told the Saint John Telegraph-Journal."

Harper's in Italy today, where their Prime Minister is accused of banging anything with a heartbeat, and our scandal consists of "Did he or did he not eat the wafer?"

It's no wonder that other people see Canadians as bland and boring. I guess that's how the cookie crumbles.

Who Pays For These Studies?

2009-04-21T11:10:00.003-03:00

From CTV News: Resuscitation at birth increases risk of low IQ.

Children who have to be resuscitated at birth appear to be more likely to score poorly on IQ tests, even if they appeared healthy at first, report British researchers.
The findings, published on the website of The Lancet, come from Dr, David Odd of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Southmead Hospital in Bristol, U.K.
The authors looked at children who had been resuscitated at birth but had no symptoms of neonatal encephalopathy, a term used to describe the signs of acute brain injury, such as seizures or altered responsiveness or tone.
They also looked at babies who had been resuscitated and had received neonatal care for symptoms of encephalopathy in their first month of life. They then compared the two groups to more than 10,000 children who had not needed to be resuscitated.
The researchers gave the children IQ tests when they were about eight years old. A low IQ score was determined to be less than 80.
The researchers found that the children who had developed symptoms of neonatal encephalopathy had more than a six-fold increased risk of a low IQ score compared with the children who had been born healthy.
But even children who had appeared healthy after birth but had been resuscitated had a 65 per cent increased risk for a low IQ score.

I now know why ignorance is bliss. "He's not going to ace his SAT, so let him go!"
Given the choice, I think I would rather be stupid than dead. Just ask some of our politicians.

Duffy's Defence

2009-02-14T11:57:00.002-04:00

From The Guardian: The comments in Halifax came on the heels of sensational comments at a Conservative meeting in Winsloe last week, and again in the Senate, where he suggested Ghiz may get the “shaft” by getting in bed with the premier of Newfoundland, and that the sight of two politicians in bed was “... a grotesque scene.”

According to a reader poll in the same newspaper, seventy five percent of Prince Edward Islanders think that Senator Michael Duffy's comments were unfairly directed at them.

This is complete nonsense. If people had read the transcript, available here in hansard, they would understand that the Senator was speaking on their behalf, not against them. You can use all the metaphors you want to; none will matter if you can't understand the substance of what that message is. If success is defined as the realization of a goal, then Sen. Duffy succeeded. He wanted to draw attention to the fact that Premier Robert Ghiz was lending his support to Premier Danny Williams.

What's the big deal if other premiers jump on the bandwagon with Danny Williams? None, if they want to get thrown off the wagon and run over by the horses upon their first disagreement with him. In this particular case, Mr. Williams is unhappy about the recent changes to the equalization formula. It was a fine formula back in the days when Newfoundland & Labrador were have not provinces. The agreement of the Mulroney government in 1985 changed that. Our friendly neighbors to the North of us were given rights to the federally owned oil fields so that they may some day develop them and reduce their dependence on the rest of Canada. A proud moment for them indeed, but not good enough for Danny. He wants it all: revenue from off shore oil and revenue from equalization. Perhaps Senator Duffy should have explained it more clearly, that by conceding to Mr. Williams, PEI would be a net loser under the equalization program. Perhaps our usually jovial Senator thought that the 75% of Islanders that accuse him of thinking they're stupid thought that they really were intelligent.

Therein lies the true error.

Was there a human being on this planet that wasn't consumed with the inauguration of President Barack Hassan Obama?

After briefly flipping through the channels, I remembered something.

UPDATE: Obama popped into Canada for a minute, and the world went nuts. Andrew Coyne has all the details.

Happy New Year!

2008-12-30T00:07:00.002-04:00

I'm saying it now, because I've been busier than a dog with two dicks. Merry Christmas too, although I'm a little late. Here's my quick two-cents worth about recent events this December (I think I owe about a dime's worth by now) for those of you who haven't received a decent book to read from Santa Clause.

1)Coalition: Bad for Canada. We don't need no steenking badgers.
2)Mike Duffy: Good, and funny. I don't know of one person on PEI who hasn't always thought of Mike as a Liberal, and now he's working on our behalf, with the good guys.
3)Michael Ignatieff: If he writes an editorial about how he was so wrong to give Harper a chance to remain Prime Minister, that's a good thing. It'll be followed up shortly with Harper winning a massive majority. (He shot himself in the foot denouncing the resumption of war in Iraq, only to see opinion change drastically after Gen David Patreus' successful surge)
4)Global warming: talk to the hand, the scarf-covered face ain't listening.
5)Prorogation of Parliament: Whoop-de-doo, they took off what?? 3 or 4 extra days?
6)Israel retaliation: Hmm. That's a toughie. Do they keep letting Hamas kill civilians with rockets, or do they grow a pair?
7)Madonna and Jesus Luz: Porno stars need love too.
8)Re-opening abortion debate: Abort! I repeat, Abort!
9)The media: Mike Duffy & Pamela Wallin have been sent to the Senate. Isn't there someplace where we could send the rest of them?
10)Political Pundits opinions of Stephen Harper: Are these the same guys that told Truman he had no chance of getting elected?

For Those Of You In The House Of Commons

2008-12-04T15:05:00.004-04:00

...Who have been reading this blog: Some thoughts I'd like to share with you.

Many of you are wondering why Stephen Harper created this mess (your opinion, not mine):
He was probably thinking that the man who champions himself as the saviour of Canada would never sign a pact that would allow separatists a veto over all government bills for the next eighteen months. You opposition parties have railed for the last three years that Harper was a George Bush clone, and that he should use made-in-Canada solutions for Canadian problems. This pre-emptive bailout that you say is necessary, before even presenting us with a detailed costing of your plan, is an American solution to an American problem. This is Canada, where the banks haven't been giving money away. That's why our banking system has been rated number one, at least on planet Earth.

As late as August, Don Drummond (an ex associate deputy-finance minister from a previous Liberal government) as Vice-president and senior economist for the TD bank warned the government of Canada that they would have to take harsher measures during the coming economic slowdown. When the Conservative's released the Fall economic update, you opposition parties used that as an excuse to try form government, claiming that the government hasn't done enough. Amazingly, Don Drummond came out on CTV and said that Harper had done everything right, and that he couldn't have done it any better himself.

Stephane Dion, you're trying desperately to convince me that the Conservatives only received 38% of the vote, and that the will of those voters isn't enough. When Jean Chretien received a majority government with 38% of the vote in 2000, everything was hunky-dory.

Stephen Harper, your mistake wasn't in the message, it was the delivery.

It should be an interesting parliament. Dion for PM, Jack Layton as Industry Minister, Elizabeth May as Environment Minister. Hell, maybe we'll even have Gilles Duceppe as Foreign Affairs Minister (consider it a practice run).

All of you party leaders claim you are in this predicament because you want to solve the economic crises. Well, you're not all that convincing to anyone with an IQ over 85, with the exception of some in the media who know better but can't refuse having some fun at your expense.

Here's what I do know:
Jack Layton wants to be noticed, he wants to feel like he's actually important. He wants to be better than his dad.
Stephane Dion wants to protect his place in history, by forgetting it and going against everything good that he's ever stood for.
Gilles Duceppe wants to be the King of Quebec. I personally think he's pulled one over on Dion.
Elizabeth May wants to hear herself talk some more, and no doubt try to be the environmental saviour that the Liberals never had the guts to be until they knew it was too late.
Stephen Harper? He just wants to prove to all of you that demonized him for the last 10 years that he's capable and willing to be the best Prime Minister Canada ever had, and what better way to do it then by strengthening Canada and the Conservative Party at the same time?

UPDATE FOR THE COALITION: Looks like I'm not the only one that thinks your coalition was put together for reasons that were faker than a cheap rolex: read the comments on this CTV story; betcha get tired before (if) you find someone that supports you.

PS: Mr. Rae, you just made the entire coalition look like a bunch of liars - first by your admittal that your main interest is getting rid of Stephen Harper at all costs, and further by admitting that you don't have an economic plan either. It's no surprise that Michael Ignatieff is the frontrunner for the leadership of the Liberal Party. You're just too damn scary.

How Many Members Will Cross The Floor?

2008-12-03T00:04:00.003-04:00

If principal prevails, I wonder how many opposition members we'll see cross the floor to the Conservatives before this "Crisis" ends?

Add your guesses in the comments. The closest wins nothing. (What, you want a prize? No guess-scam going on here. You want something for nothing, go join the Liberals, Dippers or Bloc.)

Not Taking No For An Answer

2008-12-02T00:19:00.003-04:00

It's hard to believe that six short weeks ago when I told the local Conservative candidate that he'd have another shot within six months I was stretching it. (I was actually thinking late February, when this current economic crisis starts to turn around).

It was one of those Star Wars moments. You know, the one where someone says "I've got a bad feeling about this."

Now that Dion has proven that he's able to lie in both official languages, apparently more capably than he has been at telling the truth, Canadians have a chance to see a true hidden agenda come to the forefront. How many of you thought it would be from Mr Dion?

Let's not forget Jack "I'm running to be Prime Minister" Layton. What he didn't tell his voters is that if he wasn't successful, he'd settle for being a Foreign Affairs minister in cahoots with a guy who, well, wants where he lives to become a foreign country! It's almost funny.

This year, there's three Grinches looking to steal Christmas. They're wearing Orange, Red & Light Blue hats. These guys talk about being environmentalists, but all they're going to earn is a lump of dirty coal in their stocking. It'll look good on them.

Worse-Than-That afterthought: Jack Layton could become Minister of Defence! Gilles Duceppe could become Deputy Prime Minister! (okay, I'm reaching here. Still, people thought I was nuts when I said we'd be at the polls by the end of February.)

North America's Other Election

2008-10-22T12:36:00.004-03:00

From an October 20th dispatch in The Atlantic:

Canada has weathered the global economic crisis with noteworthy grace. Last month, its economy created over 100,000 new jobs, more than in any month in decades. Wages keep growing, and Canada's banking sector is, according to the World Economic Forum, "the soundest in the world." So it shouldn't be surprising that last week, Canadians returned Stephen Harper's Conservatives to power and granted them 19 new seats in Parliament.

Like Bush's Republican Party, the Conservatives have expanded their coalition by appealing to working class voters, but they've mainly done it by using targeted tax policies, like the Clinton-era Democrats.

Read the whole thing here.

A further opinion from Progressive Conservative: Guess I'm not the only one that feels like letting my car idle all night when I hear Elizabeth May speak.

Woman Charged For Crying Wolf Too Many Times

2008-10-22T01:33:00.003-03:00

Even Chicken Little has nothing on her.

Dial a wrong number just once, and all hell breaks loose...but dial "911" 9,999 times and you could be the runner up.

A Montreal woman who logged 10,000 calls to 911 over a 15-month span because of her spite for police has been found guilty of public mischief.
Marie-Eve Dean, 23, was convicted today as a judge refused a joint recommendation by the Crown and defence that she get a suspended sentence to be served in the community.

Where, or where, is that ambulance? I guess now we know. (If she was fourteen, Gilles Duceppe would be giving her a phonecard and locking up cellphones.)

St. John's mayor wants seat for Newfoundland at federal cabinet

2008-10-19T03:39:00.002-03:00

They had their chance. It's what's known as a federal election.

ST. JOHN'S, N.L. — The mayor of St. John's is calling on the public to convince Ottawa to appoint somebody from Newfoundland and Labrador to be responsible for the province at the federal cabinet table.
The Conservative government of Prime Minister Stephen Harper doesn't have an MP from the province after losing races for all of its seven seats during Tuesday's federal election.

It's time the mayor had a talk with Danny Williams about that little ABC thing.

Election Joke

2008-10-14T12:40:00.002-03:00

I can actually picture this:

The election was too close to call. Neither the
Conservative Party nor the Liberal Party had enough
votes to win. There was much talk about ballot recounting,
court challenges, etc., but a week-long ice fishing competition
seemed the sportsmanlike way to settle things.
The candidate that caught the most fish at the end of the week
would win the election. Therefore, it was decided that there
should be an ice fishing contest between the two candidates to
determine the winner.
After much back and forth discussion, it was decided that the
contest take place on a remote frozen lake in northern Manitoba . There
were to be no observers present, and both men were to be sent out
separately on this isolated lake and return at 5 P.M. with their catch for
counting and verification by a team of neutral parties.
At the end of the first day, Steven Harper returned to the starting line
and he had ten fish. Soon, Dion returned and had no fish. Well, everyone
assumed he was just having another 'bad hair' day or something and
hopefully, he would catch up the next day. ( A do-over)
At the end of the 2nd day Harper came in with 20 fish and Dion came
in again with none. That evening, Jack Layton & Elizabeth May

got together secretly with Dion and said,

'Dion, I think Steven Harper is a low-life, cheatin' son-of-a-gun.
I want you to go out tomorrow and don't even bother with fishing.
Just spy on him and see just how he is cheating.'
The next night (after Steven Harper returns with 50 fish), Layton said to
Dion, 'Well, tell me, how is Steven Harper cheating?'
Dion replied, 'Jack, you're not going to believe this, but he's cutting
holes in the ice.'

Election Expense Question

2008-10-13T00:55:00.002-03:00

Maybe it's all the turkey that I had for Thanksgiving supper, but I just don't have the gumption right now to find the answer to the question: If the candidates for the Green Party publicly call for their support to be given to another party, shouldn't that party then have to claim the Green Party's expenses as well as their own? Would that not be a violation of the election expense act (or whatever the heck it's called) if the total of the Green Party's candidate and the total of the candidates receiving the support exceed their campaign spending limits?

Yeah, I know what you're thinking. Too much turkey talk.

Happy Thanksgiving all.

Could We Please To Try Again!

2008-10-09T21:20:00.006-03:00

Video from ATV Evening News:

WARNING: Do not drink or eat while watching video.

You'll understand when you see it!

This is from the guy who wants to be Prime Minister!

UPDATE: It's on Duffy Live now.

UPPERDATE: The Liberals are now trying to equate this to the Chretien ads of 1993. Here's the difference: Chretien couldn't help it that he had partial facial paralysis. In Dion's case, he should have known better. As an intellectual and a professor, there's no excuse for stupidity or evasiveness. In their quest to hide from the truth, the Liberal shrills are now trying to draw on the empathy of Canadians by doing what Liberals do best: Avoiding the question.

Canadians aren't that stupid. The question was pretty clear. All four times. It was even explained to him by his own aides. He's made Harper's performance on the economy an election issue. Now it's time to provide Canadians with some proof that Stephen Harper hasn't done his job. He can't. It's that simple.

Oops!

2008-10-04T01:47:00.002-03:00

Somebody by the name of Andre something-or-another called me for an interview yesterday morning, before I had my morning coffee. What I left out is that Duceppe is my least-hated favorite socialist. He's kinda like a cup of tea if your dying of thirst in the desert. I'm a coffee drinker.

English Debate Summary

2008-10-03T01:03:00.002-03:00

1) It was good to see that Stephen Harper was there tonight. He performed well considering the gang attack. I think I only heard the George Bush comparison three thousand times.

2) As somebody else said elsewhere, Jack Layton still played the part of the HOAG.

3) Missy Piggy outshone Kermit the Frog.

4) Gilles Duceppe had the best hair, and some of the best lines.

5) Sentence three should read "Miss Piggy outshone Kermit the Tadpole."

French Debate Summary

2008-10-01T23:21:00.004-03:00

Four things:

1) Stephen Harper is an evil George Bush clone who wants to ruin the world with his lack of environmental policy and his copycat economic platform. (This from the four lefties who think that George Bush should run his country according to our voters, instead of listening to his own voters.)

2) Stephane Dion, Jack Layton, Gilles Duceppe and Elizabeth May agree that all guns should be locked up, and that teenage killers should be set free. (That'll stop the little devils from killing again. Heaven forbid that the cowardly murdurers involved in school shootings should actually be held accountable for their actions.)

3) The format suited Stephane Dion the best. After all, his Liberal Party are pretty accustomed to sitting as they had plenty of pratice during the last parliamentary session. They only abstained from, what was it, 43 votes?

4) As usual, Gilles Duceppe had the best hair. (He also articulated himself pretty good. Crafty, isn't he?) Even W. K. agrees with me.

Bob Rae Vs Michael Ignatieff

2008-09-30T23:58:00.002-03:00

Bob Rae pulled a good magic trick today. Not against Stephen Harper & the Conservative Party of Canada, but against Stephane Dion & Michael Ignatieff. He's had his little you-tube moment, and for a tenth of a second it made me forget about the economy, our national security, crime, health care, and yes, even the environment. It made me think of Iraq. More importantly, it reminded me of Chretien's decision to join the chorus of naysayers against the Americans' resumption of the war in Iraq. Despite 18 UN resolutions denouncing Iraq's violations, and a weariness of allies to force Hussein to comply with the peace treaty signed by his generals, the United States did what was necessary and ultimately, the most humane thing to do: It brought Sadam to justice.

Five years after the resumption of this war, our closest neighbor and ally has buried 4,174 of her sons and daughters. Along with that, thousands of innocent Iraqis have been killed as a result of terrorist attacks from AQI. It's easy to see how politically easy it was to avoid participating in this chapter of the war. Politically easy isn't necessarily the same thing as being moral. Or right.

Enter Michael Ignatieff. In 2003, Mr. Ignatieff supported the war in Iraq, which is easily understood given his time spent living in America. Without the socialist blinders on, it wouldn't be difficult to understand the plight of the Kurds, or for that matter the plight of those living in the rest of Iraq. Then, astoundingly, just months before General David Patraeus was to prove succesful with the "Surge", we were treated to Mr. Ignatieff's about-face. I'll sum up the three page article that he wrote in one sentence: I want you to vote for me, so forget everything I said about human rights for Iraqis. (that's not plagiarism, it's condensing.)

So here we are, 2008. We can't say for sure, but we'd definately bet on it, that Stephane Dion is going to lose the election by more than a couple of votes. There's a line up behind Mr. Dion just waiting to get a second crack at the leadership of the Liberal Party of Canada. (don't ask me why.) The two most obvious potential wannabe leaders are Rae and Ignatieff.

What does all this have to do with Stephen Harper?
Not much, but it sure makes people remember that Ignatieff once admitted thinking like Harper with regards to a war that most people don't understand and are too lazy to learn the facts about - and there's nothing that Ignatieff can say or write to make people forget that.

Not a bad days work if you ask me. Put another knife in the not-a-leader's back, embarrass your next leadership rival, and have your current electoral opponents waste a day playing trivial pursuit. Too bad for him that he's so far out in left field that most sensible people wouldn't vote for him to run their country. He's a hell of a magician though.

Negative Advertising

2008-09-21T01:07:00.002-03:00

The difference between Gerry Ritz and the Liberal's new negative attack ad? Gerry spoke instinctively, like when you stub your toe.

It took a lot more than the same .0005 seconds to create and air the new Liberal attack ad.

You tell me - who's really worse? Those that respond in a negative way about the death of innocents, and then have to swallow their own blood as it rolls down off their tongue when they realize how offensive they may have sounded? Or would it be those that use the deaths of those innocents in a thought up, scripted, filmed, acted and voiced-over and aired political commercial?

Kinda takes the spontaneity out of one of the above when it when it's worded like that, huh?

Liberals Make Dion Walk The Plank

2008-09-19T17:40:00.003-03:00

....And then pull it out from under him.

H/T Warren - Has the fat lady sung? & Steve Janke - Oh, You mean that Green Shift!

Considering the lastest numbers from Nik Nanos, maybe the plank is the safest part of the ship, which is sinking pretty fast.
