I’m sure Guergis deserved it

Posted: April 16, 2010 in Canada

With all the noise about Helena Guergis being kicked out of the Conservative caucus, one must ask who is telling the truth. I mean, there are quite a few things being tossed around, and apparently Ms. Guergis has never been told any of them and is clueless to what she is accused of. Think back. [...]

Where’s Colvin’s evidence?

Did MacKay know? I doubt it.

Everyone seems to think that the government is this big secret organization that is out to get you. This whole mess with Afghan detainees is getting rather tiresome.

Well, it would have been nice to help those poor girls in Bountiful. Another time, perhaps. Let’s all hope so.

In the most recent election, the BC Liberals have clearly displayed that attack ads are not necessary in an election campaign. Their “Keep BC Strong” slogan, along with Premier Gordon Campbell’s personal ads addressing current issues to be addressed and what the party deemed important was a clear display of a good strategy. The NDP [...]

Insite has been the subject of major debate across the country for some time, with some claiming it has saved lives, others that it wastes money that could be used elsewhere. B.C. Supreme court Justice Ian Pitfield ruled that the laws preventing addicts from injecting themselves “…were inconsistent with sections of the charter guaranteeing the [...]

Where did Canadians learn economics?

Posted: February 11, 2009 in Canada

Today the Canadian Autoworkers Union seconded Layton’s “buy Canadian” idea. Honestly, has our country gone mad? Harper (being the only economist among our country’s leaders) sees like anyone who has taken Econ 101 should: long into the future. I understand that people are worried about themselves as Canadians, but what about the future of our [...]
