The Greenhouse and the Garden of Eden

Who knew? Elizabeth May, Green Party leader, preaching a sermon on the environment and Jesus! (Hat tip to the inestimable Small Dead Animals)
It is interesting to see the intersection of faith and environmentalism coming to light in the media. I find it fascinating that the newspaper didn’t slander her beliefs in any […]

Global Warming on Mars - Quick Gore, Grab Your Camera!

Scientists from Nasa say that the planet Mars has warmed rapidly since the 1970s.
Mars is being hit by rapid climate change and it is happening so fast that the red planet could lose its southern ice cap, writes Jonathan Leake.
Scientists from Nasa say that Mars has warmed by about 0.5C since the 1970s. This […]

The Soulforce Equality Ride Rides Again!

Ten gay rights protesters, members of the (I’m not making this up) Soulforce Equality Ride, were recently arrested during an attempt to intimidate students at a Christian University:
The activists, who were later released, were among 50 members of the group Soulforce Equality Riders, which is on a national tour to promote gay rights at the […]

Justin Trudeau: Diva on a Dime

Tantrum averted. Phew. Maggie won’t have to go out and buy a big lollipop.
How sad. We lose one Belinda and gain another.

You want to laugh? Check out the picture at the top of the CTV hagiography of Justin. Was the intention to select an outfit so metro that it would immediately contrast with the working […]

Dion sides with American over a Canadian Minister

First the Taliban, now Al Gore.
Not to conform my posts to Tory talking points, but would a real leader condone and approve of any foreigner, let alone an American, meddling in Canada’s internal affairs in this manner?
If Harper delivered a speech on Canadian autonomy, Dion would come out in favour of Manifest Destiny.

John Edwards: The Morality of an Ambulance Chaser

A laugh-out-loud comment from Kate O’Beirne on the recent democratic debate:
Looong pause before John Edwards could come up with his “moral leader.”
Too bad that he didn’t say “Jan Schlichtmann”.

Gay Marriage in New York. Or not. Well, maybe…..

Gay marriage may be coming to the state of New York:
Democratic Gov. Eliot Spitzer, following through on a campaign pledge, unveiled a bill Friday to legalize gay marriage in New York.
Or not. Spitzer introduced the bill knowing full well that it would never be introduced into law:
“I do not think there is a realistic shot […]

Al Gore: Messing with Minister Baird

What was the environmental record of everyone’s favourite environmentalist like when he was vice-president anyway? Turns out that the Conservatives’ current plan will do more to reduce emissions than the Clinton-Gore administration ever did:
“It is difficult to accept criticism from someone who preaches about climate change, but who never submitted the Kyoto Protocol to a […]

Christian/Islamic Fundamentalists Two Sides of the Same Coin? Think Again

Ted Byfield has a good article, There’s No Reason - Where do supposedly rationalist liberals get the demonstrably absurd idea that Christians are scary like radical Muslims?, in the Western Standard for May 7, 2007. His assessment is sound:
We stand for reason against faith, claims the liberal left. Do they, now? Perhaps […]

Lord Black: one of a kind scrapper

Any of you wanting a good daily read, both interesting and funny, check out Mark Steyn’s coverage of Conrad Black’s trial, here.
For the sake of notable quotes, here’s why I hope Lord Black comes out victorious; overcoming his accusers so he can keep making public statements like this:
[Trudeau’s] incitement of ethnic, occupational, regional, and sexual […]
