TTC unions do no-one a favour
The TTC doesn't help alleviate the stereotype of Torontonian arrogance. Following public outcry at their inefficiency, TTC employees are rambling against the public and apparently want to add insult to injury through some work-to-rule action. Where on earth does the TTC find them? Every public transit system will have its ups and downs, as much as every business has good and bad employees. Co...

City Council
So I was watching something on my local channel about some proposed changes to the City bylaws regarding pets/owners. One proposal was to fine people $350 if they were out walking their dogs but did not have a 'doody bag' with them to clean up after their animal.Sorry but I find that ridiculous. I've stepped in dog poo. Just last week I went out to shovel my front walk and found a GIANT pile...

The Racism Witch Hunt
Ryerson University One of the most predictable effects of anti-racism policies can be found in the law of unintended consequences, in that after a while they tend to foster and perpetuate the very racism those policies aim to defeat. After all, cataloging and enumerating every shade of skin pigment in a University is more than just [...]

Let's run the Olympics like the ancient Greeks did: all nude
Chatelaine magazine has an on-line photo spread of six of Canada's male winter Olympic athletes in various stages of undress. The picture at right is of skier Kyle Nissen, skis strageically placed. So here's an idea - lets start staging the Olympic games with all nude athletes, just like they did in ancient Greece. I think it would do wonders for TV ratings.The ancient Greek Olympic games we...

After 7 years will BC Rail trial actually get to court in April?
I’ll believe it when I see it but apparently the trial involving Liberal insiders may actually start in April. “David Basi and Virk face breach of trust and fraud charges for allegedly accepting benefits from lobbyists representing one of the bidder for BC Rail in exchange for providing confidential provincial government information about the sale. Aneal [...]

Charest: Asbestos “is politically part of our history”
Quebec Liberal Jean Charest thinks it’s perfectly OK to ship asbestos to third world countries and he washes his hands of any responsibility for the health of workers in these countries: “There are no perfect products … No products have zero impact on the environment, either. Everything humans do has an environmental impact.” (see story here) Also: see [...]

Parliament about Women
As we prepare to discuss the health and rights of impoverished women and children abroad with our industrialized allies, it was comforting to see Jack Layton take a different road than his Liberal counterpart. Instead of insisting on funding foreign abortions, Jack would like us to instead focus on the women and children here in Canada living under poverty. To hear Jack tell the story, you'd t...

Rob Ford set to run for Toronto mayor
Yesterday I heard this Toronto municipal news tidbit from a source close to Rob Ford’s camp who says that the conservative city councilor is “definitely in” for a shot at taking over the mayor’s office, a post to be vacated by David Miller in the next year. Today, I called Ford himself and confirmed [...]

Leftist Echos of Harper’s ‘97 Essay “Our Benign Dictatorship”
In 1997, Stephen Harper and Tom Flanagan jointly penned an essay titled “Our Benign Dictatorship” in which they laid out why the Liberal government of the time was essentially undefeatable, as well as what would be required for it’s defeat.  Namely, they pointed to electoral co-operation (between Reform and the PCs) in the form of [...]

They are both alight with anger over the move to prorogue Canada's parliament. And they are both interested in, to ...

Standing up for Canada
I wonder how long it will take for the Liberal Party of Canada or its leader, Michael Ignatieff, to stand up for Canada and respond to the slanderous allegations by Venezuela’s ambassador to the Organization of American States, Roy Chaderton Matos, that Canadian soldiers in Afghanistan are guilty of torture and assassinations. I doubt we’ll hear any defence of Canada from Jack Layton or th...

There Are Over 30000 Canadian Children Looking For Homes, So Why Is It So Hard To Adopt?
I want to talk very quickly about abortion before I try to wrap my head around the above question. If there are people who wish to be world leaders in our society today, who advocate access to "safe terminations" and the right to not live in "misery," which I can only assume means nine months of having something you don't want in your body, then what has this world come to? And this par...

The Tea Party movement in the United States is probably the most significant new North American conservative movement in decades, and although I question its long-term significance, it does seem to be off to a fast start.
