Article II of the constitution states: “No person except a natural born citizen … shall be eligible to the Office of President.”
The framers of the constitution didn’t define “natural born […]
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 […]
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 […]

“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 […]
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 […]
