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 […]
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 […]
Tonight about 250 people gathered into a local Guelph banquet hall to see the Prime Minister, who was finishing up a swing through southwestern Ontario today. I was personally happy since not only did I get a picture with the architect of the Conservative coalition of the 21st century (I lost some pics taken […]
The other day I posted a piece on how no one can say for certain that there is no God without stepping into the arena of faith. Some commentators pointed out that an Atheist can be uncertain on whether there is a God or not, but can believe that there is no sufficient evidence […]

I am not against higher education, but I am against universities. What is meant by this is quite simple: universities, a product of the high middle ages (12th century A.D.) have changed somewhat from their early pioneers, but their structure has grown stale and become more of a hindrance to providing our society with […]
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 […]
Liberal theologians have been a source of great amusement for me since the days of high school when one teacher tried to convince my class that the Nile turning into blood as described in Exodus was actually just mineral deposits contaminating the water to make it look like blood — apparently the Egyptians weren’t able […]
I liked Chuck Cadman. I also thought that what the Conservative Party did to him was on the murky side of wrong — it upheld its democratic principles, but at the expense of a good MP. The Cadman tragedy would have never happened in the federal party didn’t allow opportunistic forces to hijack […]
