Government Propaganda

Ever notice how often the Government is accused of “propaganda” by lefties and socialists when it comes to weird, wonderful and wacky conspiracy theorists regarding the Illuminati, Masons, and the Holy Grail? I guess it’s not just weird lefties that buy into some of these hilarious theories – the self proclaimed libertarian Art Bell specialized […]

Non-Tax Based Revenues

So the Ontario Provincial government has backed off removing the tax exemption for meals under 4 bucks. For those who may not know, in Ontario, a meal at a restaurant that costs less than 4.00 is not subject to provincial sales tax (it is subject to the GST though). Naturally, there’s been a lot of

What A Bunch Of Dorks – Government Waste

I’ve got a new idea for a section of this website. Only really special idiots will have a place in this section. I’ve got a name for it as well – although I’m open to other suggestions. But first, let me tell you how this idea has all come about. I was in Ottawa on

Nanny State Spanks Her Children

Health Canada wields a powerful rod and is ready to spank anyone that disagrees with her values. In another case of “let’s regulate and ban,” Health Canada, that wonderful beurocracy that claims to be looking out for the ‘health’ of Canadians, has decided to punish good parents that understand inanimate objects in of themselves, are

Who To Vote For?

I had a long conversation with the local Conservative Party candidate for my riding, this morning. I’m kind of disappointed. I’m really not sure who will get my support, if anyone, in this riding. I’d certainly like to see the Liberals gone. But, there’s a bit of a conundrum locally. As much as I think

More Torstar Socialism

Sometimes, I think I should just give up blogging, and do my best to promote Bob over at Let It Bleed. He’s usually right on the money, says what I wish I could say, and does a heck of a better job. Today, he’s got some great comments on Carol Goar from the Toronto Star.

Email Letter To My M.P., March 30, 2004: Dear Mr. Calder, I have read a media report that on March 29th, 2004, Liberal House Leader Jacques Saada, apparently made a comment in the House of Commons that compared the investigation into AdScam to a “witch hunt.” Although I have never had any official response from

The More You Regulate…

.. the more lawbreakers you’ll have. Jay Jardine discusses the prohibition era in PEI. And that era is today – not some long dark period many moons ago. Interestingly enough, many of the people of PEI aren’t too happy with the law makers, and are rebelling. Jay also writes: “What’s really loathesome is how the

Ghetto Schools?

Jaeger over at Trudeaupia is right on, once again. Today, he provides some commentary on an editorial in the Toronto Star that discusses charter schools and flexibility in the public school system. I’ve got three kids in the public school system, and for the most part, it’s been a pathetic experience for all of them.

Harping on Harper

I had a phone call recently from a friend of mine asking if I’d be willing to help out David Tilson, the former Ontario MPP that gave up his seat for Ernie Eves in Ontario. Tilson has won the Conservative party nomination Federally for the riding I reside in. But I don’t know. I’m not
