It’s Hard to Survive on $1 Billion!
Saturday, May 24th, 2008Apparently, making ends meet at the taxpayer-funded CBC is a difficult exercise.

Ontario Health Care Priorities

So Liberals are against bureaucrats deciding what Canadians can watch. Does this mean we have the blessing of the Liberals to shut [...]
Helping the Economy… NDP-Style
Thursday, May 1st, 2008I’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 [...]
