"We asked you nicely not to hurt anybody, if you keep doing it, we'll have to ask you nicely again." This seeems to be the philosophy of Canada's justice system. Just this past week, six innocent people where gunned down on a busy downtown Toronto street. I say six as it looks like the seventh person shot was somehow involved with the gun fight. One...

Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas. Happy Chanuka. Happy Kwanzaa. The election campaigning is on break until after the holidays so I'll be taking a break from writing too. I hope everybody has a good holid...
A New Low: Demeaning a People
I once made a remark that Martin's propaganda would make Joseph Gobbels pround. His latest attack ad could almost be right out of the mouth of the infamous Nazi propaganda minister.The Liberals have released a misleading attack ad. The ad makes people believe that Stephen Harper and Giles Ducept are conspiring together to bring down the country. The...

Fab Hollywood
It's not very often that I comment about other countries but this one is bugging me. It is less common for me to comment on social issues so bare with me here.Homosexuality is becoming a major (and irritating) political issue. Gay marriage has already been approved in some countries such as Canada, the UK, and parts of the US. I do not approve of...

Cattle Drive
The government of Ontario has just opened High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) on its 403 and 404 highways. These lanes are designed to help ease traffic on local highways by giving people who carpool a special lane. A car with a minimum of two people can drive in these lanes and it is claimed that they can shave up to 30min off a drive during the peak of...

CRTC Silencing Stern A Rights Violation
It sure has been a busy week for political talk.Satellite radio is now in Canada. For as little as $13 a month, you can get hundreds of radio stations filled to the brim with Canadian and American content, well except for one America.The titular king of shock radio and TV Howard Stern has been banned from Canadian airwaves. For those who don't know,...
The Right to Non-Association?
On the campaign trail, Jack Layton is making his comrades glow red with glee. He supports a worker's rights bill. The bill promises workers basic rights including the right to form unions.I am not against the rights of workers. It is important that workers be protected from abusive bosses, and vice versa. What I do disagree with is the right to unionize....
Life's A Bowl of Popcorn
The Liberals never cease to amaze me. This week a senior advisor on the Paul Martin campaign stated that parents would simply waste their baby bonus on beer and popcorn.The message I'm getting is that parents cannot be trusted to do what's right for their kids. Only the government knows what is right. The $1200 baby bonus is an excellent idea. The...

A Special Time of Year
It's the Christmas season again. The malls are packed with busy shoppers, the lights are going up, soon Santa will be on his way. It's the time of year to think fondly of our fellow man no matter what religion you belong to.This year, I urge people to help those in need. However, don't just be lazy and give money. An anchient Chinese proverb says...

Take my PM, Sleeze
Same crap, different election. Prime Minister Paul Martin has already started on his fear tactics by claiming Steven Harper doesn't love Canada. It is generally agreed upon that the question posed to Mr. Harper caught him off guard and was likely asked by a Liberal goon.Liberals are very good at one thing, propaganda. I'm sure Joseph Gobbels would...
