What can we say about Benazir Bhutto? Her death, like all deaths, was tragic but for anyone who followed the affairs of Pakistan, it was not unexpected. The only reason we are talking about it now so much is because, like the Dundas Square shooting in 2005 or the Sri Lanka Tsnami of […]

This Friday I attended an Ontario PC youth function for the first time in many years — the youth wing of the provincial party is still much the same that it was when I last knew it; full of energetic, yet overly-ambitious youngsters who all believe that they will be both Premier and Prime Minister […]

Bored? Than tune into the Canadian Human Rights Commission’s wacky efforts to identify chat board hater “Drumsaremybeat” while simultaneously protecting the identity of complainant “beachesboy@AOL.com”! And be sure to have the appropriate background music playing.

These scientists, many of whom are current and former participants in the UN IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), criticized the climate claims made by the UN IPCC and […]

Yes, it is indeed a funny name for any kind of group. Perhaps “Evangelicals in Defense of Mormonism”? But the mission statement should at least provoke some thought for American Evangelicals:
The 2008 election is for president, not pastor…

America’s National Treasure on why Huckabee’s retro campaign is boring:

Who is the bigger jackass? The guy who encourages morons to brawl or the cop who thinks its worth his time (or the courts’ time) to do anything about it?
The RCMP: Instilling virtue in a mass of unworthy humanity somewhere near you.

But after 12 exhausting days of trying to reach a worldwide agreement on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, it was suddenly all too much for Yvo de Boer.
As the 200-nation Bali conference wrangled over a minor procedural matter, the Dutch diplomat in charge of the talks burst into tears and had to be led away by […]

Before everyone goes to the woodshed with the NDP for kicking out a man with wardrobe issues, maybe we should look a little deeper into this story.
