Stephane Dion’s Much Ado About Carbon

Wed Jun 18, 2008 – 6:11 pm

If the quote-unquote party insiders that have been talking to the Globe and Mail are to be believed, then tomorrow’s announcement by Liberal Party leader Stephane Dion will almost certainly confirm that the NDP is going to rival its 1984 record seat count and the Conservatives are heading for a nice, cushy majority government soon. […]

It’s Just Getting Too Easy To Call Warren Kinsella On His Errors

Tue Jun 10, 2008 – 6:55 pm

I’m not sure what sort of scope Warren took when he made these comments,
Crash! Five years ago today, gay marriage became the law of the province – and, I note, no sky has fallen yet, has it? Nope. The Dominion remains strong. Nice piece by Martha here – but it would have been nicer […]

BREAKING: Environmentalists Suggest Young Death To Children As Way To Save Planet

Fri Jun 6, 2008 – 3:35 pm

I just got wind of a story today about how the state-run Australian Broadcasting Corporation (the Auzzie equivalent of the CBC) has put together a site that targets children and asks them to answer some questions that calculates when they should die in order to save the Earth from supposed environmental havoc. The ironically […]

The J Peterman Catalogue Of Liberals

Tue Jun 3, 2008 – 6:10 pm

Reading Garth Turner’s seven verbose paragraphs this week, I can’t help but reminded of the good old run that Seinfeld had with the infamous magazine. The Halton MP gives a good stab at trying to sell Stephane Dion as a tactical and principled man while directly confusing the Liberal leader’s cowardly display last night […]

When Rights Aren’t Rights Anymore…

Sun Jun 1, 2008 – 12:40 pm

On the two sides of the Atlantic Ocean this past week the world was introduced to two different debates over the role that human rights play in our society. Over in Europe, the European Court of Human Rights has agreed to hear the case of a British woman who wants to adopt a 26-year […]

From The Same People Who Brought You Our Inadequate Health Care System…

Tue May 20, 2008 – 7:56 pm

…comes sex changes galore! And remember, it was this very troop who, in 2000, did a great disservice to our nation’s health when they used a bunch of emotional rhetoric to spook people into voting Jean Chretien into a third term as Prime Minister. Somehow, methinks the image of cross dressers screaming in […]

Dion’s Carbon Tax: As Neutral As The CBC…

Sun May 18, 2008 – 5:39 pm

A lot of talk has been had about the politically suicidal aspect of Stephane Dion’s rumoured crusade to introduce a carbon tax into the federal tax structure. We’re told it’s good policy, but bad politics and even some conservatives are reluctant to disagree with that statement given that a carbon tax can be crafted […]

The Courts & A Branch Of Government That Might Need Trimming…

Fri May 16, 2008 – 8:00 pm

The Friday before the long weekend is usually a slow news day, leaving viewers of the evening news slogging through reports on gas prices, congestion on the highways leading to cottage country and other non-essential news items. That might make the SCC ruling today that the Youth Criminal Justice Act, 2003 is unconstitutional more […]

GTA IV, Morality Tale?

Sun May 11, 2008 – 7:12 pm

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

Sat May 10, 2008 – 10:25 am

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 […]
