10 Non-Religious Arguments Against Same-Sex Marriage: Parts 1-2

Anthony Esolen at Mere Comments starts an argument. Quick summary:
The legalization of homosexual “marriages� would enshrine the sexual revolution in law.***

Harper Pride

This is awesome! Plonka links to the American blog LGF, where Americans are for the first time in over a decade expressing admiration for the spine exhibited by a Canadian prime minister. Just one comment:

Liberal MPP calls Israel ‘rogue’ state

Liberal MPP opens mouth, spews ignorance:
Ottawa-Orleans MPP Phil McNeely yesterday called Israel a “rogue state,” and said the federal government should apologize to Canadians for its support of the Jewish state’s “collective punishment” of the people in Gaza and Lebanon.

Check out this op-ed by Connie Woodcock on how Toronto has gone to the dogs. The problem:

She refuses to walk along the street alone because she’s terrified of panhandlers and she’s barely comfortable even when I’m […]

Caledonia and the OPP: We’ll decide what’s illegal around here

Well, it’s day 1,000,000 (or so) of the illegal native occupation of disputed land in Caledonia and the OPP has yet to enforce an injunction and remove those protesters. This despite being called before the judge and being re-ordered to enforce the injunction.
So what we know is that the OPP refuses to listen to […]

Albert Muckle: Expanded Discussion

There is a pretty interesting discussion taking place in the comments section of this post on killer Albert Muckle. Apparently these people are arriving via googling Muckle’s name.

Perks of the Civil Service - Paid Vacations in Ottawa!

One word comes to mind when describing the government program that will send “every new federal civil servant[s] from coast to coast to Ottawa on a two-day, all-expenses paid trip to give them a “big picture” understanding of how government works.“,
