Writings of J. Todd Ring: Conservatives in Canada swing further to the far right – the other two major parties are little better

Oct

2015

The Conservative party of Canada is clearly playing into fear, xenophobia and racism as a way to win votes, as its “War on Terror” narrative, its racial baiting and its new snitch line show. This is sickening. Mind you, the Liberals and NDP have eerily similar agendas to the Conservatives on key issues of the ...

2014

Pardon the Bushism. The CPC’s spin regarding the oil crowding out grain shipments by rail must be inspired by Dubya. @saskboy @LHubich That's an odd argument. Isn't grain literally the food?— Stefani Langenegger (@SLangeneggerCBC) March 07, 2014 Elizabeth May provides some sanity on the issue. “The current rail cars used for shipping hazardous materials are ...

2013

Most atheists are as irrational as those who believe in religion. And perhaps even more hypocritical. There’s no greater example of this than those vocal opponents of religion who criticize Christmas but in just a few months time celebrate St.Patrick’s Day and other religious holidays with unrivaled enthusiasm.
