In this article the always informative Scott Taylor sheds light on the recent insult leveled at Canadian troops by US Defence Secretary Gates. He also knocks Peter MacKay for not standing up for Canadian troops. Sounds like Canada has had to virtually reconquer Kandahar province after the US pulled out. Read the article to understand why.

Real conservatism has arrived.That was the point of the decade-long Reform/PC schism culminating in the Alliance and the alliance between the Alliance and the PCs - the Conservative Party of Canada. All of it was to take the “progressive” (read: leftist) tendencies out of Canada’s conservative party. So the ballots have been counted and the results are in and now finally Canada has a truly conservative government.

Ok, prove it.

Canadians are still among the highest taxed people in all the industrial nations. Despite the government’s minority status its opposition is so timid it’s disgusting. The CPC has and can continue to govern like it has a majority. If it falls it will be re-elected, possibly even with a majority, but if with a minority, so what?

What should the government do with this power? A real conservative government of an overtaxed people would think of doing nothing before dramatically reducing taxes. The means of doing so is suggested in this article.

If this global warming gets any worse we’re all going to freeze to death. The latest from Greenland is that they are experiencing their coldest weather in decades. The counterpoint? The glaciers have retracted more in the past few decades than “in all of recorded history”. Well just how far back does that mean in Greenland?

From what I can glean from Wikipedia, “recorded history”, at least on this account, started in 1978. Doesn’t sound so ominous now does it?

All it takes is some hand-scrawled gibberish in the form of a complaint to the Human Rights Commission and you face an inquisition in this country where your own fundamental human rights are called into question. The exercise of liberty, such as freedom of speech, can cost you thousands in fines from the tin-pot fascists who accept appointments to these hideous tribunals.

Ezra Lavant is a publisher. He published the now famous cartoons originally published in Denmark to which radical muslims took such offence that they began their usual campaign of physical and verbal violence. In Canada no one was killed, no buildings were blown up, because the Islamo-fascists among us need only sick the state’s thought police on Mr. Levant.

If you haven’t already seen Ezra Lavant’s videos of his inquisition by the ludicrously-named Human Rights Commission you’re in for a treat. Follow this link to Ezra’s YouTube page.

“All taxation is a loss per se. It is the sacred duty of the government to take only from the people what is necessary to the proper discharge of the public service; and that taxation in any other mode, is simply in one shape or another, legalized robbery.”

Who was the raving lunatic libertarian to speak such nonsense? How about Robert Cartwright, Canada’s first Liberal minister of finance. (Back then Liberals were true liberals.)

If it is wrong for me to take money from my neighbour without his consent no matter how good my intentions are for using that money, how can I authorize politicians to do so simply by making an “X” in a box on election day? I can’t delegate an authority I don’t have. And no matter how many people join my gang, and no matter what my gang calls itself, if it takes my neighbour’s money without his consent, it’s theft pure and simple. Calling the gang “the government” doesn’t change a thing - taxation is theft - legalized robbery.
