Amazing, just sheerly amazing! That’s the only thing that can be said about the TTC union’s decision to reject a deal so sweet that the last week was littered with dozens of columns expressing the devastating effects of allowing TTC employees a golden goose as big as being guaranteed highest bidder for not just […]

Second-highest gross earnings for a documentary in its opening weekend! (the #1 spot goes to Michael Moore’s movie that glorifies the Canadian health care system as being efficient…). Well at least that aliens seeding our genetic guts on the backs of crystals theory is getting a nice bit of exposure; thanks Richard Dawkins!

Something rare happened over the course of the last week for me: I struggled to write a post for this website. I knew what I wanted to write on, and some points that I wanted to make, yet discussing the Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed! documentary (now in theatres across America) has yielded more reaction […]

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 […]

Many have wondered why a site called The Politic winds up talking about religion so much. There are very good reasons for this.

You all know the songs that get played endlessly on the radio these days: Paralyzed, Hey There Delilah, songs like those. You can’t listen to a mainstream music station for more than half an hour without hearing one of those two, I can pretty much guarantee it.
It’s the same when it comes to politics. Certain ideas and […]

Elizabeth Eckford, a shy fifteen year old, was the first black woman through the doors of Little Rock Central High School in 1957, one of nine students who represented an early victory in the civil rights movement. Until that day, all of the students in the most prestigious high school in the city were […]

9:40 pm — I think I looked outside at one point during the 8 o’clock hour to see if the cityscape changed here; it didn’t. Lights of businesses, houses and cars were still on. So I’m not even sure if this whole thing went ahead outside of the urbane, advanced city cores of […]

The economy is eroding and prices are soaring for consumers. Indeed, when compared to just twelve months ago, the mood of your average Ontarian is much grimmer when it comes to the economy. Most specifically, Ontario is regaining the dubious honour that it had twenty years ago when it became dead last in […]

On Easter weekend of all weekends. It used to be that a college edumacation actually included the study of religion, so that even if you didn’t neessarily float that way, you had some grasp of what it means for those who do.
Evidently, comparative religion is no longer a required course in the alma maters of […]
