A few tidbits of Olympic proportion from Andrew Coyne:
But the statement was not about how many top 5 finishes we had, but the number of events in which which we finished top 5, a measure of the breadth of our success.
I’ve now checked the results, and I can report that indeed, no country matched us in this regard. We placed top 5 in 37 events. The Americans were top 5 in 34. The Germans wer

Stephen Harper's critics are both loud and insulting. Some say he's too conservative while others say that he isn't conservative enough. My analogies are for the 'not conservative enough' crowd.
Socialism is like a burning building. We are in the building and we want to get out. Now I imagine Andrew Coyne running around with a Fire Warden cap telling everyone to "J

I wasn't going to write about this. I really wasn't. But then I got to thinking - it's what I do best, or so I'm told - anyway, I got to thinking, 'Why do I post on a blog?' A year ago, I would laugh at Rick Mercer every time he uttered the words, 'Check out my blog,' on the Rick Mercer Monday Report.

I like a lot of Cameron's movies and I liked Avatar too. Something bothered me as the movie progressed though. There was a distinctly Anti-Human feel to it. It was also Anti-Western (it wasn't a Chinese invasion force) and Anti-Mining. The Anti-Mining aspect targets the Oil Sands in particular.
Now some people have said, "its just a coincidence." I don't see h

As I keep thinking about last week's events I can't help feeling like an old grumpy crank. I want to like this Budget and Throne Speech, but it would be an undeserved compliment.

So, it's becoming painfully evident that Michael Ignatieff and his Liberal party aren't really that worried about doing their jobs - ie: working for the constituents in Canada who elected them to Parliament in the first place.

Does something seem to be wrong with that headline? Not according to Michael Ignatieff and his Liberals, or Jack Layton and his NDP members. In fact, the message they are conveying goes something like this:
