Who is Really to Blame?

Saturday, November 15th, 2008

Jack Layton has a long running hate on for our banks.  He seems to think they are the cause of our current economic troubles, and he blames the banks for the debts that many Canadians are struggling with.  I wrote about Jack’s crusade over interest rates and ATM fees back in January, then during the recent election Jack was [...]

Who’s Playing Censor Now?

Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008

Earlier this year, the Harper government wisely reduced taxpayer funding to some questionable arts programs.  To this day, the left has been making ludicrous accusations about the Conservatives wanting to undermine the arts and sensor what Canadians can watch.
Today, Jack Layton announced some censorship plans of his own.
The NDP wants to ensure that prime-time TV [...]

Helping the Economy… NDP-Style

Thursday, May 1st, 2008

I’m no fan of Dalton McGuinty, and I don’t believe he has any credible plan to properly manage the economy of Ontario.  In fact, I’ve been critical of Dalton on that topic here, here and here.  However, as bad as Dalton’s economic stewardship is, Howard Hampton and his band of merry socialists would be much worse!
Here’s what Hampton had [...]

Jack Layton Gets Told by the Liberal Star

Wednesday, March 19th, 2008

The Liberal bias at The Star is no secret, and today they proudly display it as they give Jack Layton a sharp scolding.  It seems that Jack has been criticizing the Liberals a little too much for the comfort of the editors at The Star.
The opening paragraph reinforces the fact that we’re all supposed to believe that [...]

Jack Layton Just Doesn’t Understand Economics

Friday, January 18th, 2008

Jack Layton is at it again!  First he wanted to ban ATM fees, now he wants to control the interest rates banks can charge on credit cards.
In true socialist fashion, Jack wants to meddle in the market and cap rates at 5 per cent above the prime lending rate.
Has Jack not noticed that most banks already offer a low-interest credit [...]

What’s Wrong With a Little Diversion?

Saturday, December 8th, 2007

Canadian media and blogs have been filled with comments and opinions on the Irene Mathyssen-James Moore story, as well as follow-up columns on Irene’s less-than-sincere apology to Mr. Moore.
With most of the facts now revealed, the story is winding down.  James Moore did nothing wrong and Irene Mathyssen made a false accusation.  However, I still continue to read [...]

The Entitlement of Child Care

Sunday, November 4th, 2007

When it comes to providing child care for Canadians, Jack Layton and the rest of Canada’s opposition parties want to keep the private sector out of it.  Unfortunately for taxpayers, whenever a socialist like Jack Layton or Stephane Dion makes a proposal to limit private sector involvement in something, you know they’re about to waste a huge [...]
