Name one bad thing oil sands are NOT responsible for

January 20, 2012 Politics

Is it any wonder that (pro-leftist) mainstream media have become the joke they are? Every day, they give a platform to some of the worst nutters the left can produce, and their insane and morbid thoughts are treated with the kind of reverence usually reserved for the Bible or similar religious icons.

Fair compensation for Calgary City Council?

January 19, 2012 Politics

The pay and perks package for Calgary’s mayor comes in at a total amount of $256,938. That’s nothing to sneeze at, especially for a guy who spends so much time just admiring himself. It looks even more generous when one compares it to the salary of Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who’s in charge of the second [...]

After same-sex snafu, lefties looking rather dumb

January 17, 2012 Politics

Politicians, cannot be trusted, which is why they rank low on the esteem scale when people are polled about various professions and occupations. But sometimes such distrust can also take on morbid or pathological forms.

Bilingualism and multiculturalism don’t come cheap – so let’s stop the nonsense

January 17, 2012 Politics

A study has just put a price tag on Canada’s efforts to ensure “bilingualism” across the country: $2.4 billion a year. Of course, this pales by comparison to the $18-23 billion a year blown on unproductive immigrants, that is, those who enter under the family program or are otherwise useless as functional taxpayers (currently, about [...]

Conservatives are big and irrational spenders = Liberals!

January 15, 2012 Politics

For the past six years, I have been screaming it from the rooftops – i.e., this column and in the social media – that our Conservative government doesn’t understand taxation and government spending at all. It’s taken all this time of screaming before the mainstream media finally picked up this week on everything I have [...]

Northern Gateway: Suzuki doesn’t get it.

January 14, 2012 Business

David Suzuki, who last time I checked isn’t even qualified to expound on such issues, is off on one of his wild (and demented?) tangents about the Northern Gateway pipeline. “Screw the environment. The pipeline will hurt our economy,” he rants.

Liberals – no turf, no power

January 13, 2012 Politics

The Liberals are to elect a new party president this weekend. Knowing the Liberals as I do, I’m quite positive that we’ll call Sheila Copps “Madam President” come Monday morning.

Canada should focus on immigration from Europe

January 12, 2012 Society

Canada today is what it is thanks to centuries’ worth of immigrants from Europe. Unfortunately, that was changed under Pierre Trudeau and the Liberals in the 1960s, who were determined, like all left-wingers, to foul their own nest.

Lise St-Denis – jumping from loser to loser

January 10, 2012 Politics

When Quebeckers decided to toss the Bloc Québécois out with the garbage in the last federal election, and make the NDP Quebec’s new party of choice, they didn’t vote for the individual NDP candidates, but for Jack Layton. In fact, voters in the province cared so little about the candidates that they didn’t bother to [...]

Kobo pulling a RIM

January 10, 2012 Business

It seems to be the typical Canadian story: a company creates a product that becomes fairly popular, but then starts making mistake after mistake, until people lose interest and go with a different product. This is what’s been happening with RIM, the maker of the Blackberry, and now the same virus of incompetence has struck [...]
