The Left: Bad at Math

In an astonishingly unslanderous article over at the Star, Flaherty’s tax cuts are called moderate.
However, nothing could be completely rosy in a piece by the Red Star on the subject of a Conservative politician.
He takes issue with 10 billion of the surplus being paid towards the debt.
“In moderation, debt reduction is useful. But given the […]

Trick or Treat, GST Edition

Chablis or Bordeaux?

Blogger “Diogenes” at Catholic World News, has caught another fibograph from Associated Press Agence France-Presse that you will, no doubt, find amusing
