Obama and the Golden Rule
Barack Obama describes his Christian faith in front of an audience, in part to justify his high-tax class-warfare policies. But in case you had doubts, he assures you his Christian-inspired policies are right because other religions teach the same thing. Um, that's not quite how faith is supposed to work. -- 13 minutes ago

Canadian governments are purveyors of booze, gambling and, now, pornography?
Things, it seems, are never so weird they can?t get weirder. By that I mean we live in a country in which various governments are not satisfied with their virtual monopoly on selling booze and providing gambling, but have now ventured into the sex trade by providing pornography on the Internet. It really is a sad state of affairs. I?m referring, of course, to the recent spat between Sun News -- 4 hours ago

Can the medical profession enter the 1990s?
An article by Randall Denley in the Ottawa Citizen reminds me of many things wrong with the current practice of medicine in Canada, which derive essentially, from a complete lack of computerization, and the coordination of services in time that computerization allows. Deeper still, it reflects the incentives of a socialist system of resource allocation, [...] -- 5 hours ago

Should James Moore Be A Cabinet Minister?
Today's poll question; do you think that James Moore should be sitting in cabinet?
