Last night I said that I would be talking about a ( relatively ) recent CHRC appeal of a Federal Appeals Court decision over at the Libertas Post.Well, here's what I had to say: Too much fairness in the Human Rights industry?
Even in the face of tough economic choices, Canadians don’t want to reduce military spending in order to control the deficit when the mission in Afghanistan wraps up. This, according to a poll by Innovative Research Group conducted for the Canadian Defence and Foreign Affairs Institute.
A majority of Canadians [57%] see the military as serving [...]
You learn something new each day. Today I watched Question Period and learned that Guergis and Jaffer are now the "Bonnie and Clyde" of the Conservative Party, followed by allegations that the federal government directly interfered in a Provincial prosecution (for which zero evidence exists). Then the MP ended her question with "is this what the Prime Minister meant when he said I get by wi...

CIDA's Earthquake Relief Fund unspentAs of the cutoff date, the 14 Canadian charities reporting donations to CIDA raised $154.4 million, of which $128.8 million is “potentially eligible” for the government’s fund matching mechanism. This is on CIDA’s website. What accounts for the $26 million difference is not. I asked the CIDA person I actually spoke to what “potentially eligible”...

Where are the Canadians against Sitting On Your Hands in Parliament Facebook Page? Photo: Matt Campbell.
As has been well reported on by now, 30 Liberals MPs sat on their hands during the federal budget vote, allowing it to pass in the House of Commons. What’s particularly interesting are some of the big-mouth big-names in that [...]
Was doing some searching online, and I stumbled across this... can anyone make heads or tails of this? It looks to me like a $1.8 MILLION dollar project that was put out to tender to renovate their Ottawa headquarters. What does it look like to you?Of course this got me curious, and so I did a bit more digging. I found the CFS shown as a "satisfied customer" in a brochure for Cole & As...
The Prez and CEO of NCC has noticed that McGuinty seems to be spending all his media time in classrooms talking to kids in public schools.

If you were wondering where the impetus for changing the words to the National Anthem came from, wonder no more. It comes from - ahem - Conservative Senator Nancy Ruth, who has been pushing the Prime Minister for a gender neutral anthem. And like all good social activists, she doesn’t actually take no for an [...]

Kevin Page believes that Jim Flaherty's GDP forecasts are too high, while the Royal Bank of Canada believes the Finance Minister's estimates are too low. Kevin Page's grim GDP outlook is the basis for his assertion that deficit projections should be much higher. How much higher? Kevin thinks that Jim is off by 10 billion dollars in 2014. Our GDP is 1.5 trillion dollars, good enough for 11th ...

Adrian MacNair today in the National Post nails the reason why the Canadian Left and their media cronies will never be satisfied on the Afghanistan/Taliban fight:
- If we hand them off to Afghan authorities, as is proper, they say torture
- We take no prisoners, and shoot them all dead, they say inhuman
- We build a [...]

Justice Minister Rob Nicholson apparently loves the idea of empowering police to conduct random breath tests and of course MADD is gaga with the idea of infringing on Canadian rights against unreasonable search and seizure.

It was the CBC who broke the story of the diplomat who told the Liberals that torture was likely in Afghanistan before the Liberals agreed to start handing over POWs to Afghan officials, and now it is the CBC running Liberal damage control the next day. The new headline "Liberals feared Abu Graib-type detainee scandal: source" where an anonymous source reported that the Grits were so freaked...
