For an official opposition that has expressed no confidence in the Government and has declared the critically important budget a flawed document, you would think that perhaps they would have had one or two suggestions for how to improve the legislation. Apparently not, as the Liberals passed up an opportunity to introduce amendments to the document which they claim will harm the lives of Canadian

Barring a complete meltdown of the LPC, the Stephen Harper conservatives will never get their coveted majority. Why? Because the CPC leader, Stephen Harper, CAN'T communicate plainly, clearly, and with passion. Mr. Harper is, to be blunt, a limp dish-rag when it comes to public communication. The only thing sustaining him, in fact, is a string of Liberal Party of Canada leaders who are hapless fa

The ominous sounding Conseil supérieur de la langue française has made recommendations to further limit the rights of immigrant and French Quebecers.
