Captain Capitalism calculates the ROI on a vasectomy. Sadly, he only bases the calculation on the costs of children but fails to take into account any benefits whatsoever, from societal to individual.
His comments are highly informative to the debate actually. Some commenters of like mind express their disdain for reproductive outcomes (though they clearly enjoy […]

This is one of those moments where I can’t decide whether I am witnessing principled opposition or crass opportunism.
Carole James is launching an “Axe the Tax” campaign, attempting to mobilize strong grassroots opposition to the gas tax portion of Gordon Campbell’s greenhouse fighting initiatives. Initially, it will result in a 2.4 cent per liter gas […]

I love Canadian Football. I really do. NFL makes good TV, but I can’t even conceive of an experience worth $300 per ticket.
However, I don’t doubt that in a city of 4 million people, there may be thousands of people who are willing to pay for that.
The question is, are the people who will buy […]

The family is heading to Florida at the end of July - not quite the heart of hurricane season, but there is definitely a risk.
I thought I would take a look at google to find out what to expect. First I encountered the official position: 2008 is likely to be normal or above normal - […]

I’ll admit, when I first saw the news breaking on the ads, it never occurred to me that anyone could confuse Stephane Dion with Gordon Campbell. I still think the odds are slim, but there probably be a lot of British Columbians who start to question the wisdom of the Campbell Liberals’ grand plan of […]

The Rev. Stephen Boissoin wrote a letter to the editor, which was printed by the Red Deer Advocate. It resulted in a complaint to the Alberta Human Rights Commission, on the grounds that homosexuals might be offended. He just thought they might be offended, so decided to take the complaint out on their […]

Remember these statistics:
As would be expected, people earning $80,000 a year or more are cutting back the least (37 per cent) on daily driving and taking fewest steps (36 per cent) to increase gas mileage in cars.
Conversely, more than two-thirds (69 per cent) of drivers earning less than $20,000 a year said they’re cutting back […]

Apparently,
Citing Flaherty’s remark in February that companies would not want to invest in Ontario because of provincial business taxes, Dion demanded Prime Minister Stephen Harper put someone else in that portfolio.
I had to read down through 2/3 of the article to find that offhand reference as to the basis for firing the Minister of Finance.
Clearly […]

Angelina Jolie is ticked off because Disney doesn’t have a black princess.
Busy creating a wonderful international family with children in every shade imaginable (an admirable task), I guess she has turned her concern with how to mould her children to looking blindly at the physical signs of genetic variation found in people from different areas […]

So after a barrage of email and support for the resident of a townhouse strata in Surrey, who dared to fly the Canadian Flag on his unit, the strata council has decided not to move forward with a fine. It almost seemed unbelievable that one of the other residents complained about the presence of the […]
