After All, Accurate Analysis Has Never Been Bob Rae’s Strong Suit

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 […]

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!

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.

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 […]

Expelled & A Word to the Wise

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 […]

Politics and Religion: Why Are We Talking Religion?

Many have wondered why a site called The Politic winds up talking about religion so much. There are very good reasons for this. Firstly, religion drives some of the most significant events occurring in the world around us. The question of Islam is affecting world politics to a level unprecedented. Understanding […]

The Essence of Christianity: Part 1 - Yes, There ARE Club Rules

Each Sunday, I will be exploring the realities of what it truly means to be a follower of Jesue of Nazareth, the one Christians refer to as the “Anointed One” who will save humanity from the tragic situation it has gotten itself into. The series is meant to expand upon previous entries and so […]
