Religious freedoms in Canada: Another hit

For at least a year now, intelligent conservatives have maintained that the Liberals’ same-sex marriage legislation represents a significant threat to religious freedoms in Canada (see here, here, and here for examples). Today we received the first substantiation of those claims:
“The B.C. Human Rights Tribunal has ruled in favour of two lesbian women who […]

Limp Nationalism - Do you love your country?

Who loves Canada more, Harper or Martin? Perhaps the better question Canadians should be asking themselves is whether the question is a legitimate one. I mean really, how can someone love a country? Say it out loud for a second, “I love Canada” and tell me that you don’t feel a little […]

Kyoto: Soon, We’ll have to pay billions

As the Kyoto-phile conference in Montreal looks forward to a post-Kyoto world when the Accord expires in 7 years, news from the EU missing targets for emissions, again, underscores the world of fantasy in which the movement operates. Canada, the conference’s host, is embarrassingly poised to increase emissions by 26% this year.

Resistance Against Ignatieff’s Paratrooper Jump

Toronto residents with Ukrainian roots are protesting Michael Ignatieff’s bid to run for the Liberals in their riding.

Just when we thought Lloyd Axworthy is the apotheosis of idiotic Liberal foreign-defense policy thinking, along comes former Canadian Minister of Defence and Deputy Prime Minister under Pierre Trudeau, Paul Hellyer, who warned a UofT audience last night about the dangers of ET coming to take on us earthlings in an intergalatic war:
