Is Dion Sure He’s Not Talking About Himself?

Thursday, March 29th, 2007

We all know that Liberal Frenchman Stephane Dion has opposed the recent federal budget since before he had even seen it.  Today, Dion continued his attack on Jim Flaherty’s recent budget, but when I heard his comments, I thought for sure he was talking about the Liberals?  Here are Dion’s words.
Pointing to the multibillion-dollar surplus, [...]

Jack! Has an Idea that Makes Sense?

Tuesday, March 27th, 2007

Maybe I’ve gone insane, but I actually find myself in agreement with one of Jack Layton’s ideas!
His proposal is that the federal government give a $10 rebate to taxpayers who file their tax returns electronically.  It seems logical enough?  It enourages people to save paper and mailing costs.  It probably saves a pile of high-cost unionized [...]

The Hot Air Continues at the Toronto Star

Sunday, March 25th, 2007

Wow, I don’t even know where to begin.  As usual, the Toronto Star is hellbent on its mission to spread the gospel of the left and the latest modern myth of global warming.  In today’s science fiction-feature, they spin a local perspective on Al Gore’s and David Suzuki’s hypocritical crusade.
After yesterday’s news that Toronto’s socialist media rags are losing readership to common [...]

Some Good News About the Canadian Media

Saturday, March 24th, 2007

From the taxpayer-funded Communist Broadcasting Corporation to the overtly socialist Toronto Star, it’s no secret that the media in Canada is Liberal, and the centre of this socialist dream world is the city of Toronto.  However, in the middle of this land of science-fiction writers, there is still hope for people looking for fair and balanced reporting, not just [...]

McGuinty Must Think Ontario has too Many Jobs Already

Wednesday, March 21st, 2007

Would you like a 28% pay increase?  Do you think your employer can afford to give it to you?
Well, it seems that Dalton McGuinty is prepared to raise the minimum wage in Ontario from $8.00/hour to $10.25/hour, a whopping increase of over 28% over the next couple of years!  This news arrives while the residents of Smiths Falls are still [...]

More Proof Dion Opposes Budget for Purely Political Reasons

Tuesday, March 20th, 2007

This morning, as I was browsing the daily news headlines, I found this article in the socialist Toronto Star.  Perhaps the first sign that this is more like a Liberal budget than a Conservative budget, is that the Star seems to be talking about it positively, which really just causes me to dislike the budget more.
Anyway, about two [...]

Thoughts on the Federal Budget

Monday, March 19th, 2007

Late this afternoon, Finance Minister Jim Flaherty released his second federal budget, and he didn’t exactly get it exactly right.  Personally, it doesn’t offer everything I’d like to see, but I suppose I can be satisfied with it, given the current circumstances.  As a conservative, I believe in running an efficient government, providing infrastructure and [...]
