Pettigrew Mistaken for a Male Prostitute

Most of the time Pierre Pettigrew is mistaken for being Canada’s Minister of Foreign Affairs. During this federal election campaign, one might think he’d also get mistaken for an MP who’s desperately trying to hang on to his seat.
The National Post (subscription required) reports that Frederick Estelle, 24, attacked Pettigrew on a Montreal subway […]

Swinging and the New Marriage Regime

In the wake of same-sex marriage opening up a new regime of marriage, the Supreme Court decided it’s ok to run swingers clubs.
Overlooked in the kerfuffle is that the club’s patrons, Michel Delbecchi and his wife Chantal have welcomed a 3rd woman into their household (and here). No word yet whether they’ll litigate […]

Kicking Coca-Cola in the Nose

Coca-Cola has been under fire in the last few months over alleged labour abuses in India, Colombia and Turkey. A campaign is mounting against Coke that includes disinformation and propaganda. The actively enlightened in universities across North America are piling in to join in a boycott (here, here, and here), including Canadian campuses. It […]

CP Peddling Fear

CP publishes a story on December 26 about the “alarm” regarding Harper’s remark about homosexual marriage made the day that the writ was dropped.

Where Mr. Mulroney was often intellectually disengaged (his great strengths were in interpersonal relations and as a negotiator), Mr. Harper is a serious thinker who suffers from a schmoozing […]

A Liberal Ruffian

I have been gone for less than a day and I come back to the news that a Liberal blog in Ontario, written by a top Paul Martin advisor, Mike Klander, compared a female NDP candidate of Asian extraction to a dog. No, seriously! I am not making this up. So much for the […]

Liberal “Made in Alberta” plan: The Talk Does Not Match the Walk

The Liberal Party of Canada is making an effort to woe Alberta voters. The so-called Made in Alberta approach is a radical departure during an election from the typical attacks on Alberta by Liberal cabinet members and prime ministers.
Highlights from the Liberal’s Alberta agenda include: a new transport infrastructure through $590 million Pan-Western Pacific Gateway […]

Boxing Day Shoot-out Downtown TO

Shots rang out in a downtown Toronto crowded with Boxing Day shoppers today, wounding five people and killing another person,
reports The Star
This is without a doubt a terrible thing, but given the present election campaign, it is likely to take on significant political colour. Since hand guns are already banned, Liberals will likely react […]
