Cartoon Warren Buffett to Teach Kids About Finance

Ah, somethings you know are just awful ideas when you hear them. Remember how his constant idiotic sky is falling rhetoric kept crashing the stock market earlier this year? He may be one of the world's richest men but he's hardly the sharpest knife in the drawer. Just another suit who got lucky. So you're going to put him in an internet cartoon to...

Should the Public Service Be Deunionized?

Unions have a contentions history in Canada. Originally designed as a layer of protection for workers when no labour laws or welfare state existed, many, notably on the more individualistic right, have come to consider them as dinosaurs in the modern world.

Over the last couple of years, I've been trying to develop my own theories regarding the...

The Case for High Speed Trains

Imagine zipping from Toronto to Montreal in less than an hour and a half in smooth, quite comfort for a ticked price at half of what it would cost to fly there. This is a reality in many countries around the world, such as in France, Japan, the UK, and even the United States. It's an alluring prospect that has met with mixed opinions on the subject....

An interesting bit of enviro-hypocrisy last week. Due to Toronto's garbage strike, the city had to spray the temporary garbage dumps to keep insects and rodents from feeding on the piles and spreading disease. The problem, these same pesticides were declared to be unsafe by the city and the province and fall under the sweeping pesticide ban levied...
