Violent Youth

This is an interesting read on “Britain’s Mean Streets.” Wonder how Canadian youths compare?
I’ve noticed that a lot of youths are jaded and cynical, their hellishly asinine cosmion of meaning offering little by way of hope. It seems to me that a lot of urban youth are lacking the interest, the opportunity, to […]

Reflections For Easter 2008

Today, Good Friday, is a statutory holiday in Ontario and thus most of the province spent their first day of a three (or four)-day long weekend off from work. Being a Christian myself, this day is very important in my life as a reminder not only of the massively significant life of Jesus of […]

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 […]

I Hate the Word, “Regret”.

Brad Wall is the latest politician to get caught doing something naughty then after being faced with demands for apologies, he says he “regrets” his action.
Now me, I have no problem with what he did.  Probably dumb to go blabbing about it in speeches, but the act itself, talk about a non-story.
But saying that you […]

Legalizing Incest: Less Libertarian, more Socialist Concerns

Is it wrong for the government to prohibit incest?  This is the question that German authorities are asking themselves after a brother and sister have had four children together.
They’ve been prosecuted several times for breaching the incest law that Germany has on the books.
The history of the couple, as the article states, can be summarized: […]

Gay Rights: Stifling Choice

It is interesting to read how the gay community reacts to people who are no longer gay.
Case in point, the story that broke from CTV pulling an ad placed and paid for a year: a spot featuring a man who merely states that few voices ever talk about the fact that some homosexuals don’t want […]

sex education classes cancelled in Quebec

The Quebec education ministry has decided to cancel formal sex education classes in Quebec — a one of its kind move in Canada. Instead of a regular classes, all teachers of all disciplines are expected to field questions that students may have. Students are encouraged to ask ANY of their teachers from ANY […]

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 […]

Heritage Ministry: Censorship Board?

The debate over bill C-10 rages, with opponents trying to frame the bill as creating a tool of censorship.
It is interesting that they do this at a time when the Human Rights Commissions are doing just that, but the difference being they are going after bigger fish than an aptly named film entitled “Two Young […]
