The right to freedom of conscience and the NDP and Liberals.
Since both the NDP and the Liberals will not allow anti-abortion candidates to run for their respective parties, I suggest we need a new progressive party that will. We need a party that stands for the right of all people … Continue reading
Restoring responsible government to Canada
I am very pleased by today’s (March 21, 2014) announcement: Marc Nadon’s appointment rejected by the Supreme Court. “Today’s judgment will be of great importance, especially in constitutional matters,” said Sébastien Grammond, who represented two groups of retired Quebec judges … Continue reading
Our Prime Ministers Are Not Presidents
To me, the proposed installation of 22 statues of Canadian prime ministers in Kitchener’s Victoria Park is part of the creeping Americanization of Canada of which George Grant warned us in his 1965 book Lament for a Nation. Grant felt … Continue reading

Fixing the Canadian Senate
The NDP has convinced itself that Canada does not need a Senate. I have been a “leftie” for more than 55 years and belonged to the party in the 1960s and 1970s. I do not agree with them on this … Continue reading

Something I’m going to consider before voting October 6th, 2011
From Jack Layton’s Manifesto for Canada: “And finally, to all Canadians: Canada is a great country, one of the hopes of the world. We can be a better one – a country of greater equality, justice, and opportunity. We can … Continue reading

Before you vote May 2nd
Stephen Harper is asking Ontarians to remember the Bob Rae years. Fair enough. But Ontarian’s should also remember the Harris years of cuts to social programs and labour unrest. This is particularly important when Harper is talking about cutting $11 … Continue reading

Harper’s Canada is not my Canada.
My Canada’s government is called “the Government of Canada,” not “the Harper Government”. It is government of the people, for the people and by the people. Harper needs to be reminded that Canada’s Government is of all the people, not … Continue reading

Within their rights but…
