Ya might get a good sense of Canada...

From the reaction to Ottawa's handing out yet more billions for healthcare, but this time with no strings attached. You know, kinda like finally demonstrating that this federal government, unlike the previous one, will respect constitutional jurisdictions, drop the paternalistic approach to federal/provincial relations, and finally treat provincial governments like adults.

Liberal Premier Christy Clark has failed to stem the growing appeal of the provincial Conservatives to centre-right voters, a new poll suggests.

Simple: Moral Superiority. Nowhere in his column will one find even the slightest hint of an explanation of how sticking with the Kyoto crowd would actually solve a damn thing. Rather, it's all about doing it because it's the right thing to do, while carefully avoiding any use of the word that best describes such action: "Symbolism". "It’s said, for example, that since

Let's set aside selective memory, step into the way-back machine and revisit the year 2005. Back then the fad crisis-du-jour of the Liberal Left and their lapdogs in the MSM was global warming/climate change.

Some much needed perspective regarding firearms...

The National Post has put up an interesting (if not somewhat depressing) chart on the various ways by which 238,617 Canadians died in 2008. Because all this data can be difficult to ferret out, even on the Internet, I'm taking the opportunity to put forward some of these numbers in order to establish some relativity that's always sorely missing from trashing of gun owners by the usual suspect
