Quote unquote, with some minor edits for space. John Wright, in the comments last night on wk.com: Hubris will make the Liberals lose…if you read the actual full poll release, it is a very diagnostic sounding…it doesn’t just have the vote number, but a lot more. I’ve said this publicly:

Today let us look at Science Fiction and examine the experiences of two individuals. Then think about your ‘objective truths’ and notions that ‘good arguments are judged on their merit alone’ and other liberal white dude fappery, and then try and tell me I’m wrong. It’s like this… You’re fourteen

I am starting to understand the Conservative’s current fixation on Justin Trudeau, as Harris-Decima’s new poll on the federal leaders is showing the young Trudeau not only competing well with Harper (if not outright beating him in several key aspects), but completely trashing Thomas Mulcair like some sort of wonderful

The problem with being a Libertarian is that you live your life according a set of simple principles, and the logical implications of these principles. Logic and principles can lead you to some pretty strange places in our moral universe. And Libertarians never seem to understand how strange these places

Visiting the Downtown Eastside (DTES) has churned up some contradictions for me, and resolving those contradictions requires re-thinking some questions I thought I already knew the answers to: 1) To what extent do people choose to live in the DTES, and to what extent are they stuck there? 2) Does

The Irish-Americans of Boston were once a source of support and inspiration for nationalists in the north of Ireland during the dark days of The Troubles. During the hunger strikes by republican prisoners, the people of Boston protested the vile policies of Margaret Thatcher and raised funds. Cash was collected

Amato v. Welsh, 2013 ONCA 258 is a pleadings case. Accordingly it needs only to find a proposition of law is tenable. That said, it is a very important decision holding a lawyer may be sued by someone other than the lawyer’s client for things said or done during trial. Whether this will

Here’s a brilliant clip put out by one of Canada’s largest unions, the Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC). In less than two minutes the video manages to depict what the government of Stephen Harper is doing to Canada’ s environment (they’ve even taken the word “environment” out of the

Excellent piece in the Globe & Mail by Eric Grenier (@308dotcom) on why he expects no irregular polling results in the BC election, as seemed to occur in Alberta last April. Why the B.C. NDP aren’t likely to see a Wildrose-like collapse “…Add to that the fact that the polls

The Cons have passed a law that allows police to bully anyone they want to: The law will allow police to detain people pre-emptively and hold them for as long as three days without charges and would give authorities power to compel testimony through so-called investigative hearings at which people

I think they are also called 10 per centers, no? Anyhow I think these ones are especially weird. They make Justin Trudeau look messianic in that weird 4.99 novel kind of way. Our beloved Prime Minister Stephen Harper on the other looks like he could use an Ex-Lax break. Like,

I’d read this. I’ve read author Tim Callaways thesis, and given the recent response of PBI to historical abuse at the school, abuse survivors, and the ongoing leadership of the next generation of the Maxwell family at the small western bible school, Training Disciplined Soldiers for Christ may help me
