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 […]

Jim Prentice: Doing The Right Thing For All The Wrong Reasons

There was quite a bit of anger among conservatives in Canada last week when the boys in Ottawa blocked the sale of a Canadian (space) satellite division to an American buyer. Gerry Nicholls railed against the decision by a Minister of Industry who is admittedly not so inclined to keep industries prosperous, given some of […]

Brenda Martin and Canadians detained abroad

There seems to be a dash of useful commentary buried amid the chaotic ravings against the Conservative government for doing nothing to help Canadians who get shafted in foreign judicial systems. Stéphane Dion said:
“How, then, can he say that Canada will intervene with Saudi Arabia to spare the life of Mr. Kohail? How is […]

China Boycott: It Should’ve Started in 2001

I remember watching the decision making vote back in 2001 when the IOC, the governing body of the Olympic games, back in 2001. It was a pre-9/11 world still back then and Boris Yeltsin had just retired a year and two months earlier, making Vladimir Putin an unknown quality at the time. Toronto, […]

Canada is Aging, We Need More Babies. Should Families be considered “Producers”?

“The only way to stop the Canadian aging process,” states the 2006 StatsCan report, “is to increase fertility.”
It’s no accident that the world’s most heavily taxed industrialized countries also have the lowest fertility rates. When Canadians have to work half the year just to pay the tax man, babies become economically impossible. By the time […]

Worst Countries: One of these Things Is Not Like the Other

The Toronto Star’s current edition includes a Top 10 Worst Countries To Be A Woman list today. Aside from the usual left-wing editorializing that the Star is proud to display in every story they publish,
Measures of well-being include life expectancy, education, purchasing power and standard of living. Not surprisingly, the top 10 [best countries […]

Civilized Dialogue - The Thomas Mulcair Story

Thomas Mulcair, the lone NDP MP from Quebec, probably has his days numbered after this incident. This is one of those *where to begin* cases for me, and it really looks badly on all parties in the House.
Personally, I really, really wish that MPs of all stripes would stop heckling — it […]

Canadian Cynic Gets One Right, Hell Freezes Over, More At 11…

Okay, so it’s got the usual 3rd grade argument level and is only written by one of his toadies but, hey, baby steps, right? I have to confess that I’m in agreement with the spirit of this post (albeit tentatively). Dr. Charles McVety is a very respectable figure in the Christian community in […]

Canadians should recognize Kosovo

In light of the recent savagery committed by Serbs in their own streets, Canadians should recognize Kosovo independence and tell Russian politicians to go to hell. The Russian ambassador to Canada has the unmitigated gall to give the following insulting advice:
“We are both federal states and when you live in glasshouse you don’t throw […]

Ontario Public Teachers’ Unions: Bringing Stupid To Ontario!

I’m told that at a time long, long ago, Ontario’s curriculum was actually the envy of the world. We were a province which always outperformed the Englands, Japans, and definately the United States of the world. Today, the results are far more mixed. Strangely enough, today’s crisis in education lies at the […]
