My Goodness, How I Miss Mike Harris…

One wonders how good ol’ “Mike the Knife” would view this. Amen to the CTF and CFIB’s comments though!

German Sex Ed: Disturbing

Read it for yourself.
I wish I hadn’t.
I fear for Germany.
(And before I get the anti-Christian people commenting, look past the editorializing on what happens when a country’s government divorces itself from Judeo-Christianity. Just simply consider what has to be wrong for a government to condone and recommend that kind of behaviour.)
UPDATE: Good news is […]

Ontario Votes 2007: Shades of the Sponsorship Scandal

It’s official: Mike Colle (Liberal, Eglinton—Lawrence) is the first causality of the upcoming provincial election here in Ontario. The Toronto Sun is reporting that Colle resigned today after the provincial auditor found millions of dollars were sent off to various agencies without proper scrutiny and, in some cases, without the agencies even asking for […]

Theodore Dalrymple Retires

Though thankfully not from writing:
Yet the scale of a man’s evil is not entirely to be measured by its practical consequences. Men commit evil within the scope available to them. Some evil geniuses, of course, devote their lives to increasing that scope as widely as possible, but no such character has yet arisen in Britain, […]

What’s In A Name? - Sikhs and Immigration

The latest tempest in a teapot - Immigration officials asking Sikh immigrants using common surnames Kaur and Singh to change their names to avoid mixups.

Incomprehensible Justice

REGINA — After kidnapping two Prairie boys last summer, notorious pedophile Peter Whitmore made them sex slaves, even chaining the 10-year-old up and ordering the child to call him “master.”Those sordid and disturbing details and others about the boys’ captivity last July were made public for the first time Monday in a Regina court room […]

More John Tory Badness: Give Me a Break!

John Tory is going to want you to think that he’s the nicest guy aside from Jesus Christ Himself (although in a progressive, pluralistic society, we don’t mention such figures for it might offend some!). Don’t let him fool you though: this man has more than his fair share of stories in which he […]

Someone should teach John Tory the first rule of holes*

Because he’s obviously never heard of it:
Conservative Leader John Tory vowed Monday to look into government funding for religious-based schools. The leader of the Opposition wants to extend public funding to institutions of other faiths, such as Islamic, Hindu, Jewish and Christian.

Tory said the move would bring Ontario more in line with other provinces — […]

Steve Sailor channels Max Weber

*
Neoconservative commentators frequent assume that Mexican immigrants will automatically assimilate into American culture because our way of life is just so much more wonderful. In reality, however, Mexican culture is mature, stable, deeply-rooted, and highly appealing to Mexicans.
Granted, it’s not very effective at producing the kinds of things that, say, Ben Franklin most valued—such […]
