Vive le Quebecois de souche!

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Canada’s Biggest Mistake: A “The Politic” Take…

Now that the National Post has wrapped up it’s series on “Canada’s Biggest Mistake”, I figure that us Blogging Tories can add in our own takes. If you’re interested in participating, I ask that you leave me a comment (I don’t read them much these days anymore, but I’ll make an exception here) and […]

Quebec to secede from the CRTC ??

This is music to my ears!
The Bloc Québécois is poised to table potentially controversial legislation giving Quebec the power to opt out of the national Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission and set up its own telecommunications regulator.
Hopefully the Bloc succeeds and leads the way to the eventual dissolution of the entire Commission.

Could Dion Lose His Own Party’s Memebership?

The Ottawa Sun reports today that indeed it’s quite possible and that the recently vocal Quebec wing of the Liberal Party is stirring with a movement to invoke a clause never used before to revoke Dion’s membership in the Liberal party. I’m not sure how this would affect the Montreal area MP as past […]

Ontario’s Budget Goes Nowhere Fast!

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 […]

Alberta Liberals Contemplate Name Change

So they can’t sell the Liberal name in Alberta eh?
I recommend the NEP-erals.

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 […]
