I admire the liberal bloggers, friends in media that pretend the Liberal Party of Canada is capable of holding an adult conversation with Canadians.Donolo knows that in order to get the NDP vote, the Liberals have to polarize the electorate by demonizing the right, portraying the Liberal party as the only barrier against the "right-wing ideologues." That's why they talk about Afghanistan and

John Ibbitson writes an interesting column about the Conservative Party base. He points out that most Canadians are more ‘right wing’ than we would traditionally consider ourselves. This country has a long proud history of supporting personal responsibility and individual liberty. That tradition has not been wiped out and forms the back bone of the conservative movement.But this is not really

"Michael Sweet knew he was dying," writes McCormack. "He pleaded with Craig Munro, telling him he had a wife and three young children, aged 1, 4 and 6.""Munro did not care. Munro hated cops. He taunted, humiliated and degraded Const. Sweet as he lay on the floor bleeding to death.""By the time the police moved in, it was too late. Sweet died shortly thereafter," writes McCormack. "When a

I have to admit, this has slipped under my radar. Apparently the Liberal “Thinker’s Conference” in Montreal is going to have at least one speaker who’s a Conservative: Derek Burney. Just to remind you: he was one of Brian Mulroney’s most trusted advisors, who helped set up the Canada-US free trade agreement, [...]

The March 22nd Macleans print issue contains a fascinating article entitled ‘Making Their Bed’, but it is not yet available online. I will add a link when I see it on their website.

The Coat of Arms of Her Majesty in Right of CanadaThe Pledge of Allegiance Act reads as follows:"2.

Sometimes I am critical of my old friends at the National Citizens Coalition, mainly because since I left the group it has done nothing but go down hill.But I have to admit they recently accomplished something quite spectacular: they have managed to produce the worst political video of all time.I mean it.

There's lots of talk these days about papers starting to charge for their articles, AGAIN, seeking to make up for "lost revenues" and such. Here's my take on the issue, which I think it reflected by a lot of bloggers... if it ain't free, we'll just get our news elsewhere. And when we post our stories, we'll just refer our readers to the free version, instead of yours.It's really that sim

Tarek Fatah, a self-described secular Muslim and promoter of free speech, has decided to use his right to free speech to attack ex-Muslim Wafa Sultan most viciously.

These are soundbites you will never hear from the Liberal Party without breaking out in laughter. Less talk and more action is needed from the official opposition.

The tricks and scams played in Ontario by Premier Dalton McGuinty and then followed up by David Miller, mayor of Toronto, would put those Chicago politicians to shame.

Naturally a lot of people are hoping to put some pressure on those Liberal MPs who abstained from the last budget vote, but it’s highly doubtful that this could be turned into an election issue for them.

According to Mr. Yousef, Arafat decided he needed another uprising to win back international att
