GTA IV, Morality Tale?

Once and a while, the mainstream media picks up and follows the release of a particular video game because of its impact on society. Such is the case with any entry of the Grand Theft Auto series. IV, which is actually the eighth title of the popular anti-hero series, was released at the […]

After All, Accurate Analysis Has Never Been Bob Rae’s Strong Suit

Rae was angered by the generalization for which he says he sees no basis in fact.
-Toronto Star, Saturday May 10, 2008

That quote, and that link, refer to a story by Toronto Star reporter Tonda MacCharles today that suggests that Prime Minister Harper is wrongfully smearing the opposition with an anti-semitic brush. Rae’s charge is […]

How Caring About Clinton Is Like Asking Jack Layton Where The Country Will Be In Six Months

Oh…bama, not quite able to pull off a decisive win in yesterday’s votes, but still the winner simply because he showed up. And that’s really just it, isn’t it? Obama can’t lose now because he has secured enough delegates by the end of April to cruise through the rest of the primaries to […]

Christian Horizons: Coren’s Thoughts

Michael Coren has a piece in the Saturday Sun today. He also touches upon the point that I made earlier this week, that state Atheism is going to beat the charity out of our society as long as the government attempts to squeeze every vestige of Christian presence and no other group in our […]

Abortion Insight From An Unlikely Source

Emery has built an entire career around avoiding personal responsibility and so I was quite surprised when I found his article on the Western Standard website to be so well-written and at the same time so personal. Unlike […]

Election Financing: “Uh-oh…”

This is more embarrassing than waking up to an NDP sign on your lawn. And I’m sure that Harper’s team have the Liberal stories all ready to spill once that confidence motion comes on May 5!
Oh, and just regarding the actual laws surrounding this whole issue, Andrew had it covered last week.

Christian Horizons: Funny, They Don’t Mind the First-Rate Services…

I think that a lot of libertarians (of all bends) out there can really get behind the idea that the government should not be dictating to employers under what terms they must employ their workers. After all, without such restrictions, many of the unions on life-support today would’ve gone the way of the dodo […]

New Evolutionary Ancestor Discovered!

Finally, the proof that I’ve been looking for all along. Why didn’t you atheist dudes tell me about this? After all, isn’t this specimen the sort of definitive and uncompromising link that has long been touted as the object which separated the educated and enlightened from the ignorant and self-deceiving. Consider me […]

Did the TTC Just Kill It’s Sweet Public-Private Partnership Deal?

Amazing, just sheerly amazing! That’s the only thing that can be said about the TTC union’s decision to reject a deal so sweet that the last week was littered with dozens of columns expressing the devastating effects of allowing TTC employees a golden goose as big as being guaranteed highest bidder for not just […]

Canada’s Biggest Mistake: A “The Politic” Take…

Now that the National Post has wrapped up it’s series on “Canada’s Biggest Mistake”, I figure that us Blogging Tories can add in our own takes. If you’re interested in participating, I ask that you leave me a comment (I don’t read them much these days anymore, but I’ll make an exception here) and […]
