Charming: Islam and Rape
Thu Sep 27, 2007 – 9:31 am
* The Carleton University student who was sexually assaulted this month while working in a lab late at night wants to set the record straight: She was not raped.The 24-year-old woman, who does not want to be identified, made the clarification this week through the Ottawa Hospital’s sexual assault unit in an effort to save […]
Ontario Debate Thoughts
Thu Sep 20, 2007 – 6:38 pm
Broad strokes: McGuinty looked defensive, and was reduced to rattling off statistics which won’t sway the undecided voters. Tory was a clear winner on presentation. In terms of policy prescriptions, the people of Ontario were clear losers.
Side notes: It sounded like Tory was taking his talking points from the Toronto Star. Every attack on McGuinty […]
China or Bust!: John Tory keeps digging

* Publicly-funded religious schools would be allowed to teach creationism and other theories, says Progressive Conservative Leader John Tory. Speaking to reporters at the a Jewish day school in Thornhill, Ont., on Wednesday, Mr. Tory defended his plan to bring Jewish, Islamic and other religious schools into the public education system.
“They teach evolution in the […]
The Future: Maxime Bernier
Fri Aug 31, 2007 – 2:27 pm
This man will be a great Conservative leader one day.
My favourite Bernier story:
Maxime Bernier reclines his lean, six-foot plus frame in his constituency office and recounts with relish how he lost hundreds of new jobs for his riding.
After his election as the new Conservative MP for the Beauce, the “distinct society within a distinct society” […]
More Bizarreness from the Liberal party
Thu Aug 30, 2007 – 3:19 pm
First I read that Michael Ignatieff thinks a bird that covers up its shit should be the symbol of the Liberal party.
Then I see that they’re planning a campaign on jobs and the economy.
When unemployment is at its lowest rate in thirty-three years.
With a leader who, according to one former Cabinet colleague, “couldn’t balance a […]
That was fast: Surete Quebec comes (halfway) clean
Thu Aug 23, 2007 – 10:03 pm
The Age of YouTube will not be a comfortable one for established authority:
* Quebec provincial police admitted Thursday that three of their officers disguised themselves as demonstrators during the protest at the North American leaders summit in Montebello, Que.
This next bit is not credible, however:
However, the police force denied allegations its undercover officers were there on Monday to […]
On the other hand…

I know this is not going to make me very popular with certain commenters here, but I do think it’s pretty clear that this video does show three cops (whether Quebec provincial police or RCMP is unclear) caught in the act as provocateurs.
See for yourself.
Stupid Hippies

* Faced with police resistance, the Council of Canadians and others pulled back from the front line about 300 metres, for fear of escalation. Most front-line protesters opted for an impromptu sit-in. Others began dousing their bandannas with vinegar in anticipation of tear gas attacks, forcefully pushing against the wall of police shields and yelling […]
Someone should teach John Tory the first rule of holes*
Mon Jul 23, 2007 – 3:45 pm
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 — […]
