A Whiff of Totalitarianism |
|
Tuesday, 01 May 2012 |
|
It's painful to witness the travails of a son trying desperately to measure up to the reputation of a famous father, especially when the son's efforts miss the mark so badly, which is what happened recently when Justin Trudeau suggested that he might support Quebec independence if Canada were ever to succumb to Stephen Harper's "hidden agenda" to do away with same-sex marriage and abortion.

Defending free speech in Canada |
|
Thursday, 15 December 2011 |
|
It has been a long time coming, but the Harper government finally seems ready to support the repeal of those provisions of the Canadian Human Rights Act that prohibit speech that might expose identifiable groups to hate or ridicule. As the battle over Section 13 of the Act heats up, count on those opposed to free speech rolling out the oft-repeated line that if only there had been laws limiting its practice in Germany in the 1930s, the Nazis might never have come to power and there might never have been a Holocaust. In fact, the opposite is true.

Brad Trost is right about Planned Parenthood funding |
|
Wednesday, 28 September 2011 |
|
In a statement released Wednesday afternoon, Conservative MP Brad Trost slammed the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) for its handling of the decision to provide taxpayer funding to International Planned Parenthood. A spokesman for the Prime Minister, Andrew MacDougall, responded by saying that IPP satisfied the criteria set out by Parliament to qualify for funding under the G8 Maternal Health Initiative. This is flat out wrong.

A new conservative magazine for Canada |
|
Friday, 15 July 2011 |
|
In 1950 a relatively unknown group of political thinkers and activists in Quebec led by Pierre Trudeau founded the magazine Cité Libre. Their goal was to provide a platform for the development and dissemination of left-wing ideas that were not in vogue at that time in Quebec and that were difficult to get into print due to the political and social climate that existed in that province.
