As we all now know, on Monday, MP Eve Adams – after being denied an opportunity to run in the next election as a Conservative – crossed the floor to join the Liberal Caucus. Many Liberals are unhappy with this (see here and here) and many journalists were brutal is

Excited Delirium: Why We Need To Oppose Stephen Harper’s Anti-Privacy Bill
When 9-year olds are suspended on terror charges, we all have something to fear.

To welcome Soudas and Adams into their party after all of the years of their Liberal-bashing, proves that they aren’t a Big-Tent, but rather a Motel Room-for-rent. “Dimitri Soudas arrives with a handful, maybe perhaps boxes full, of information,” Graham told CTV News Channel. “Soudas has a lot of secrets.

Every overly-long period of intermittent blogging should be followed by two things: A promise to blog more frequently A new theme. At least I can show you the new theme now. Yes, it’s just the WordPress default Twenty-Fifteen but it’s nice, clean, and responsive. Plus, I’ve removed the ads that weren’t making me

Vaccines provoke the most abrupt and vitriolic attacks from public authorities, vilifying my choices and putting me on the defensive. Here is substantial research from the medical community about deaths and harm caused by the junk that’s dumped into the arms of babes. As a loving parent, this is sufficient

Oh wait, it’s a gimmick. Well

The big story of the week was a Supreme Court decision allowing physician-assisted deaths in certain cases. Polls have shown Canadians solidly in favour of allowing Canadians to die with dignity when all hope is lost, but politicians have treated the issue the same way they’ve treated the abortion issue

It shows the misguided focus of the national Postmedia “tabloid” when they let a star like Mike De Souza go, and hang onto a convicted libeler like Terence Corcoran. Maybe the Post will hire Levant next and bulk up their libeler ranks a little? I am absolutely thrilled with today's

I’m not the enemy when it comes to vaccines. If they’re such a critical part of every day life, why aren’t they supplied for free to the public and why aren’t ingredient lists readily available? Stop bullying me and prove me wrong.

This week, I received via Canada Post a handy little booklet from my ever-smiling Member of Parliament, Rona Ambrose. It’s called a Tax Tips Guide, subtitled Helping You and Your Family Save More, a 15-page (!) booklet of tax tips from the federal government, outlining how I can save money

The scandal of conflict of interest at the CBC has deepened this week, as more questionable payments to the broadcaster by government department Parks Canada were revealed. Then environment Minister Prentice was given favourable coverage in exchange for tens of thousands of dollars in free travel. Prentice is now the

Talk about vaccinations will spike given the recent ‘out break’ of a whopping 4 cases of measles in Toronto. What are we afraid of and why are we being bullied by the media and medical profession?
