Six In The Morning

1 OUR BUSINESS, OUR PROFITS Saskatchewan First Nations want to keep all of the profits from their casinos. Cue White hysteria in five, four, three, two, one... (CBC, Leader Post comments)

2 CAR INSURANCE PROBABLY GOING UP If you have a car, I guess you'd care about this. (StarPhoenix)

3 CANADIAN RESEARCH HELPED CIA TORTURERS "REASSURE QUEASY BUREACRATS Yeah, well, ugh. (Globe and Mail) Here's a thought: every single person involved in the U.S. torture regime brought in by Bush and Cheney should be arrested and prosecuted. Starting with Bush and Cheney.

4 FIXING FACEBOOK Social media giant says it will comply with Canada's privacy laws. (Toronto Star)

5 BUT NOT TO CANADA The National Hockey League has filed a bid to buy the Phoenix Coyotes. The NHL's bent over backwards to keep the former Jets in Arizona, but if their bid is accepted by a judge and things don't work out, they would look at moving the team. (Toronto Star)

6 IT'S SUN-POSSIBLE An exoplanet (a planet outside of our solar system) has a crazy orbit and should have been fried by its star. But it hasn't. Oh, the mysteries of the universe! (LA Times)

"White hysteria" prediction was very accurate. I made the mistake of reading comments on the Leader-Post site in regard to this story.

It's terrifying, though not really surprising, that whoever moderates the LP's comments allowed so much blatant racism.

Unfortunately such topics are always slightly more complicated than "I was born here! Why do I have to keep paying for what my ancestors did?!"

And then inevitably someone uses a term like 'reverse-racism' and sets us all back several decades.

I should add a link to those comments, shouldn't I? Done.
