Freedom of Speech vs. The Ninth Commandment

A Missouri woman has been charged for her part in an internet hoax that resulted in the death of a 13 year old girl. The woman, 49 year old Lori Drew, was one of several people who pretended to be a “lovestruck” sixteen year old boy named Josh Evans in order to toy with a 13 […]

GTA IV, Morality Tale?

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 […]

Enviro-Bullying and Clear-Conscience Oil

Ezra Levant makes some great points about the silliness surrounding the already apologized for duck incident in Fort McMurray.
Every barrel of oil steamed out of the sand in Ft. McMurray is one more barrel that doesn’t come from a misogynist, human rights-violating environmental basket case, usually a dictatorship, and often a sponsor of terrorism. The […]

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 […]

Abortion Insight From An Unlikely Source

As longtime readers know, I’m no fan of Marc Emery, the self-styled “prince of pot”. Emery has built an entire career around avoiding personal responsibility and so I was quite surprised when I found his article on the Western Standard website to be so well-written and at the same time so personal. Unlike […]

Election Financing: “Uh-oh…”

This is more embarrassing than waking up to an NDP sign on your lawn. And I’m sure that Harper’s team have the Liberal stories all ready to spill once that confidence motion comes on May 5!
Oh, and just regarding the actual laws surrounding this whole issue, Andrew had it covered last week.

Christian Horizons: Funny, They Don’t Mind the First-Rate Services…

I think that a lot of libertarians (of all bends) out there can really get behind the idea that the government should not be dictating to employers under what terms they must employ their workers. After all, without such restrictions, many of the unions on life-support today would’ve gone the way of the dodo […]

Did the TTC Just Kill It’s Sweet Public-Private Partnership Deal?

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 […]

After Baltovich, does the prosecutor still get to keep his job?

I am stinking mad. This is a horrifying waste and I have to chalk one up for the NDP too. Here is what their justice critic Peter Kormos said:
“It’s objectionable and deplorable that this government would not want to know why an innocent person could be convicted in the first place, would not […]

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 […]
