Blogging Tories posts about "allegations"
I think Mr. Akin is trying to create a political story where there clearly is none, and I must admit I'm somewhat surprised that the normally prudent commentator is making these allegations. But the reality is that this case saw the cocaine possession and DUI charges dropped due to the prosecution realizing it didn't have a strong enough case to proceed with suitable charges, not due to the judg

I find it to be an interesting hypocrisy emerging this weekend from the Liberal "chattering class". An Ignatieff colleague in academia is alleging that our intelligence officials deliberately flagged prisoners specifically to be tortured, but he can't show you his proof because it would be a threat to national security. Meanwhile, Liberal MP Derek Lee is challenging the Government in contempt

The Public Safety Minister has been legally informed that he will have to review a case involving a Canadian man convicted in Costa Rica of trying to smuggle 34 kilos of nearly pure cocaine into Canada.
What does Vic Toews have to do with this?
Well, he's the Public Safety Minister now. That's it! Nothing more, because at the time of the Canadian's conviction, he was not in that portfolio

The Canadian Press has released what will surely add to the brushfire burning over the allegations of Canadian complicity, at times changing to direct involvement, in alleged torture of alleged Taliban detainees. But as though the somehow sinister speculation that JTF-2 has been involved in apprehending “high-value” targets, an oft-repeated term [

The latest allegations against the Conservative government being circulated in the media are based on unsubstantiated, uncorroborated assertions made by none other than Amir Attaran, law professor at the University of Ottawa.

I saw today where the CBC website was running the headline "Cannon to Karzai: We're not impressed", because apparently Karzai is upset that Canada intends to put pressure on Afghanistan to increase international monitors of their elections. Karzai has passed a new law to limit oversight. Is this supposed to reflect poorly on our Foreign Ministry? We want to put pressure on them to increase e
