Prof Mansur celebrates Iraqi dmeocracy, as do I.

Even Michel Den Tandt sees accomplishments of HM Government. I again had a chance to meet HM PM at the reception for the Manning Center Pyramid awards. The reception was at the amazing Canadian war Museum. HM PM looked relaxed and spoke to many of the guests, including me. He and Mrs Harper looked great. HM PM has really grown into the job. It is more than 4 years that he has been HM PM. The grits

I have cousins who work in the Oil and Gas industry in Alberta. They told me raising the royalties on oil and gas would be a disaster. Stelmach ignored all the warnings and sure enough it was a disaster. I guess it is good that he can learn, but it would be nice if he tried to be conservative.

In a letter that appeared in the Montreal Gazette, 13 University Presidents were quite complimentary of the research, innovation and education measures in the recent budget. I am glad that HM Government supports researech and innovation, even in tough times.By way of example, in the midst of wide-ranging austerity measures, the budget promises new funds for basic research through the granting coun

Psycho babble. Most Quebecers have no wish to risk their families' futures on the risk of separation. They have voted NO twice. The separatists just don't get it.

It is my impression that Maxime Bernier's latest speeches are really Tory policy being enunciated. ( At least I always hope that is the case.) I am not alone in this thinking. Chantal Hebert also sees it this way. She thinks that the new budget will shrink the size and scope of government. That is music to the ears of many Tories. She also acknowledges that is really only the Tories who at this p

I think again, Maxime Bernier's pronouncements are close to government policy. If one wants to decarbonize( and I don't) nuclear power is a good idea.

I don't actually approve of hate speech laws unless there is an overt call to violence. This moron should face the consequences of his actions. He does actually call for genocide. That crosses the line for me. Suspending him from York is a given. I am still uncertain about charging him. He will probably become a hero of the left. The rest of us should just ostracize him and socially isolate him.
