Sure, Elvis Stojko may seem to be telling the young ones to forego benefits that he enjoyed in the past but his opinion is still valid. He is not telling them to boycott but rather to take a stand. He wants them to be a little more aware of the context in which they […]

I take issue with one of the recommendations of the Bouchard-Taylor report that seeks to stamp out the term “Quebecois de souche” because, according to them, it alienates immigrants. I recommend precisely the opposite. The label should continue and Quebeckers (whether they identify themselves as de souche or not) should be proud of […]

A lot of talk has been had about the politically suicidal aspect of Stephane Dion’s rumoured crusade to introduce a carbon tax into the federal tax structure. We’re told it’s good policy, but bad politics and even some conservatives are reluctant to disagree with that statement given that a carbon tax can be crafted […]

Rae was angered by the generalization for which he says he sees no basis in fact.
-Toronto Star, Saturday May 10, 2008
That quote, and that link, refer to a story by Toronto Star reporter Tonda MacCharles today that suggests that Prime Minister Harper is wrongfully smearing the opposition with an anti-semitic brush. Rae’s charge is […]

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 […]

I just wanted to point out that I’ve been reading in the Post, and now the Star (sorry, this is a quick blog, hence no links!) about the CRTC’s review of pricing for Global and CTV (they want cable companies to pay them to include their local channels in cable packages). Aside from the […]

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, […]

I have to give credit to the Left for finally finding a way to market their ideology besides simply spending more or involving more government in our lives through this new junk science called global cooling nee climate change nee global warming. In the process, they have found a way of recapturing their deceptive […]

In light of the recent savagery committed by Serbs in their own streets, Canadians should recognize Kosovo independence and tell Russian politicians to go to hell. The Russian ambassador to Canada has the unmitigated gall to give the following insulting advice:
“We are both federal states and when you live in glasshouse you don’t throw […]

I’m told that at a time long, long ago, Ontario’s curriculum was actually the envy of the world. We were a province which always outperformed the Englands, Japans, and definately the United States of the world. Today, the results are far more mixed. Strangely enough, today’s crisis in education lies at the […]
