heartland logo.jpg University of Victory adjunct professor Susan Crockford doesn't seem interested in discussing the monthly payments she appears to receive from the climate denying Heartland Spinstitute. "Crockford would not respond to emails, and refused to speak with the Martlet," reports a UVic student newspaper attempting to probe the payments. The

JournalismWithoutColours StrippingAwayTheBananaPeelVille ….Is Going On At Postmedia News? First it was the decision to give McGregor and Maher the time and space to go after an old story, hard. Which became what we all now know, at the very least, to be ‘The Robocall Scandal’. And now, we get stuff,

There are days I worry that the Globe and Mail is unfit for birds to poop on it. If their endorsement of the Harper Conservatives prior to last year’s electoral fraud riddled election wasn’t enough of a credibility hit, there’s their more recently published Ibbitson column claiming Harpercons wouldn’t openly

Yesterday, I appeared on MSNBC’s Now with Alex Wagner to talk about The Republican Brain. It was largely an interview about what’s going on with conservatives and science right now—why they distrust it so much—but S.E. Cupp, the conservative on the panel, called my argument “infuriating.” Then, she proceeded to attack

TORONTO— Liberal Leader Bob Rae made the following statement today on Passover: "Today we mark the beginning of one of the most important holidays in the Jewish calendar. Friends and family in our Jewish communities across the country and around the world will gather to celebrate the strength of the

Holy horses’s head. Let’s put it this way eh? It wasn’t exactly the Con mob’s finest hour. First they were fingered by the Auditor General for diddling the truth. So that’s it then: They knew and they lied. To Parliament. To all of us…if the AG is to be believed —
Continue readingThe Disaffected Lib: The "F-35 Killer" Is Already Airborne
Those who are pushing the F-35 down Canada’s throat will take any chance to extol its unproven, awesome technical advantages, particularly its stealth technology. The idea is the enemy cannot hit what it cannot see. The invisible bomber gets into enemy airspace, bombs its target and gets out completely undetected.

All those dolts who wanted a Conservative majority in Ottawa because they were tired of exercising their democratic rights every two years and they wanted some kind of “stability”, well guess what? A Conservative majority with almost no support in Quebec is a recipe for undermining national unity and has

Video of the Giant Sequoia: Gen. Sherman Giant Sequoia trees are so huge even though they come from a seed the size of a grain of wheat. One seed has all the software and programing to grow into a 300 ft tall tree. Beat that Bill Gates. Some interesting facts

Coming after several months of flat or falling job growth, the large jump in employment in March – up 82,300 – has prompted concerns that it could be a statistical aberration, due to sampling error rather than a real change. This could indeed be the case. However, the Standard Error for

Sure they are, that plays well with the chattering classes who are the people that the people who run the CBC chill with. Thing is at 800K a year Don Cherry is the lowest paid employee at CBC TV, not the highest. That is if you factor the return the

Should there be explicit protection for the freedom of religion in the founding documents of society? This question may at first seem to be an obvious ‘yes’ since almost everyone – including most atheists such as myself – consider it to be abundantly clear that people should have the freedom

From Canoe via my learned Facebook friend Ray Heard comes the info that “Liberal MP and charity boxing champion Justin Trudeau insists he isn’t putting himself in the spotlight to spark a future leadership bid.” So there you go. James Di Fiore [who’s dat? don’t know] had a great take

Since the dramatic revelations in last week’s committee testimony by Chief Electoral Officer Marc Mayrand, there has been very little additional movement in the main robocon story. For the moment, it’s up to Elections Canada to keep digging. But journalists and bloggers are trying to fill in some of the

The Ultimate World War Two game does not exist, yet. The ultimate game would be a combination of three concepts: a grand strategy, tactical play, and massive multiplayer online [game] play. I envisage being able to jump into the position of command military officers of any rank, or into political

With this week’s publication of the Auditor General’s Report that shed light upon how the present government misled Parliament and the public with regard to the cost of procuring the F-35 fighter jets, the question that needs to be answered is whether Canadians have reached the tipping point in their belief

…three letters to the editor…each disputing furiously with the other – though each is really on a different topic. One is about the democratic nature of a sign law. One is about favoritism shown to francophones. One is about how francophones and anglophones shouldn’t really be words at all. That’s

BeVeryVeryVery CarefulWhatYouWishForVille Is Ms. Clark incompetent? In my opinion, yes. Will Ms. Clark lose the next general election? In my opinion, yes. Must, as Rafe Mair just implored, Ms. Clark go? In my opinion, most definitely… No. Why? Because, as Norm Farrell suggests, by way of Justine Hunter’s work in

You be the judge. He is a corporationist. He will do anything to sell Tar Sands Oil no matter what. If people don’t have safe water for drinking or bathing or no fresh air to breathe then it is their problem. If they die as a result of pollution it
