Despite the guerilla fighting that continues in Iraq, the resistance in Fallujah and so forth, the US military will be defeated not by any foreign foe but by domestic economics.

CTF: McGuinty is still lying to Ontario
Mon Nov 8, 2004 – 7:44 am
The latest press release from the Canadian Taxpayers Federation is a scathing indictment of the Ontario Liberal government under Dalton McGuinty. Among other things, McGuinty has included increased federal transfers as part of his “on track” revenue figures, a transfer which was spent before it was even received (new healthcare funding of $824m was slated […]
Jack Layton wants to soak the poor
Sat Nov 6, 2004 – 9:25 am
The NDP has long put itself forward as the working man’s party, the party that shall defend the poor and their interests, the party that defends the downtrodden from the rich and from big business. It might come as a shock to many, then, to learn that the policies of the NDP would cause greater […]
Tobacco industry gives the lie to benevolent government
Thu Nov 4, 2004 – 6:14 pm
A group of influential Canadian doctors and other health experts will begin a lobbying campaign on Monday to try and influence the government towards “denormalization” of the tobacco industry, or to put it another way, “demonization” of the tobacco industry.

Stewant and the Daily Show Whine like School Girls
Thu Nov 4, 2004 – 10:40 am
Jon Stewart and his crew of fake newscasters over at Comedy Central’s, the Daily Show, have shown their true colours. I was able to ignore the show’s partisan bias previous to the US presidential campaign as they were generally doing some funny satirical comedy, but unfortunately Stewart and his band of democratic lackeys have […]
Out-of-step Americans
Thu Nov 4, 2004 – 4:00 am
Paul Martin today called a caucus meeting and warned his minions against making “incendiary” statements in the wake of the US election result. “I know this sucks, but let’s just make the best of it, OK?” Way to go Paul, except that Carolyn Parrish skipped the meeting and, a few moments after its conclusion, traipsed […]
Paul Martin on Trick or Treat
Wed Nov 3, 2004 – 2:07 pm
The Globe and Mail has run a charming story on how Paul Martin and his wife were at their door to greet trick-or-treaters and hand out candy on Halloween. Sounds great.
The scenario should be familiar to Martin. As Dale Steinreich wrote, government is basically like a trick-or-treating kid writ large and powerful. They knock on […]
Bush Supporters Lied to Save Skin During Election
Wed Nov 3, 2004 – 10:47 am
Bush wins as Kerry finally (and thankfully) concedes. Now, a lot of people have been making noise over the extremely inaccurate results first reported from the exit polls early yesterday morning. Early in the day, the exit polls had pegged Kerry an easy win, but as the day fell to night, those exit […]
Looks like a Bush victory
Wed Nov 3, 2004 – 6:39 am
Although the key state of Ohio hasn’t been counted in, commentators are tentatively labelling the 2004 election a victory for Bush, who took 51% of the popular vote, 28 states to Kerry’s 20 and 254 electoral votes, to Kerry’s 252. The President plans to announce his victory sometime this morning. John Kerry, in a scenario […]
