The illustrious Mr. Yoshida is at it again:
Someone Who Should Be Shot
“I hate Jeremy Hinzman. I want him dead. The “American??? deserter from the 82nd Airborne Division, presently attempting to convince a review board that he should be allowed to remain in Canada as a refugee, is scum of the worst sort. The world […]
You gotta love the folks at the Weekly Standard.
Their current poll-of-the-week (scroll to the bottom of the page) asks readers what they think the biggest story of 2005 will be. I voted for:
“France apologizes for obstructionism; expresses gratitude for twice being saved from German rule; joins coalition of willing in gesture of humble […]
Powassan has passed a bylaw requiring pit-bull owners to pay a $250 restricted license fee. This makes sense, because the government has to provide us with “services” like these, and naturally pit-bull owners should pay for them.
Pit bulls must also be kept indoors or in a restricted area. Despite the fact that the streets are […]
Yesterday, the first real snow of the season started to fall at around noon. Seven hours later, I decided to venture forth and pick up a few last-minute gifts for people I’d overlooked so far. My car half-drove, half-glided down the 4-inch-deep layer of snow on my suburban street, then onto the 4-inch-deep snow on […]
Pat O’Brien, God bless his Irish soul, is now reporting that up to six whipped cabinet ministers have doubts about the upcoming vote on same-sex marriage.

The court ruled that the federal government, not the provincial governments, had the power to decide whether or not to extend marriage rights to same-sex couples. This was bad […]
I am glad to see that Calgarians are contributing in a positive way to the national dialogue on a pan-Canadian identity, and also on Paul Martin’s tenure as prime minister. You have to watch until the end in order to see the more insightful moments:
Talking to Canadians: Calgary, Alberta
One of the more memorable quotes: […]
Add this article to a recent Macleans cover story on the refusal of sixty-somethings’ unwillingness to go on permanent vacation in Florida, and it becomes painfully obvious that the noble idea of mandatory retirement is all but on the way out:
Majority of retirees don’t want to go: study
“Altogether, nearly 60 per cent of those […]
As was forecast here, the campaign to demonize cigarette smoking is underway. A new website at stupid.ca labels cigarette smoking and, presumably, smokers as stupid.
The arrogance is tangible. In a free market, we all make choices and trades, and the concept of value is subjective. What I might like, you might not, and what I […]
