A small Hollywood business looks set to be one of the first victims of a US Supreme Court decision that expands upon eminent domain law. David Mach, the son of the family, says that they received several requests to sell the property, but they can’t refuse the latest one because the City of Hollywood is […]

J. Franklin’s recent post brings to mind the idea of child labour. Of course, we all know the history of child labour: big, bad capitalists in the Industrial Revolution made children work in the mines etc., until wonderful, benevolent government stepped in to end this barbaric practice.
Wrong!
Child labour was a fact of life throughout human […]

A new danger is threatening Alberta youth.
Work.
As a result of a recent exemption to the Employment Standards Code enacted by the Alberta government for the restaurant industry, children are now able to serve the same fast food they have been gorging on since Ray Kroc started slinging Big Mac’s from coast to coast 50 years […]

As Tom Cerber reported here, anti-American bigotry is alive and well in Toronto.
Sadly, this kind of thing in Central Canada is nothing new.
One of the excuses that anti-Americans will give you is that they don’t hate the American people — they just hate their government and its policies.
Well, remember this story? Like the Toronto Star […]

The Toronto Star, of all media outlets, reports on the high degree of anti-Americanism in Toronto. The story relates how a Mississipi reporter walked around Kensington Market soliciting opinions about the U.S. It wasn’t pretty.
The Star also interviewed the New York Times’s Canada correspondent (doesn’t get much more incestuous than that, eh?), who […]

A primary reason why Ontario still does not really accept the Conservative Party is their perception of it. Most Ontarians will agree that Adscam and other scandals were wrong, but feel that the Conservatives have been overly opportunistic about it. Instead of waiting for due process and the judicial system to investigate, the Conservatives instead […]

Gerry Nicholls, VP of the National Citizens Coalition, today pointed the finger at CBC comic, Rick Mercer, for partisanship in favor of the Liberal party.
Mercer is the CBC entertainer best known for “Talking to Americans,” in which he targets unsuspecting pedestrians with questions designed to highlight their ignorance. Funny stuff – even funnier when you […]

Writing in Legal Affairs, Douglas R. Burgess, Jr., makes the case of treating terrorists as pirates, in terms of international law. He observes that the UN’s position against the US was weak in the aftermath of 9/11 because international law currently lacks a working definition of terrorist. However, Burgess argues that international law […]

If there’s one area in which you’d think the CBC would at least try to be unbiased, it would be in the coverage of it’s own profession.
Well, you’d be wrong. The CBC program that covers the media business is produced by the head of a major media labour union. Under his leadership, his union has […]
