Jason Kenney is one of the few members of the Harper government who does the right thing, political correctness be damned. The current guidebook for Canadian newcomers includes two pages on environmental stewardship and barely a mention of the Canadian military — and that has Jason Kenney hopping mad. Kenney, the Conservative minister of citizenship [...]
As far as the federal government is concerned, Canada Day is just another opportunity to curry favour with Quebec. Naturally, the feds are incredulous that someone thinks there’s anything wrong with that. Quebec is entitled to its entitlements. The Harper government was criticized yesterday over its spending for Canada Day celebrations, but it argued that [...]
As widely expected when Newfoundland and Labrador suddenly stole expropriated almost all of AbitibiBowater’s assets in the province, the natural resource multinational has launched a challenge under the North American Free Trade Agreement. Premier Danny Williams expropriated AbitibiBowater’s (TSX:ABH) resource rights and assets in central Newfoundland as a punitive measure for the company’s decision to [...]
Admitted polygamist Winston Blackmore, now finally on trial for polygamy, wants the British Columbia government—i.e., taxpayers—to finance his legal costs. The polygamy trial will be adjourned while the court conducts a very interesting examination of Mr Blackmore’s personal finances. The Vancouver Sun’s Daphne Bramham reports: Blackmore will have to present considerable evidence about his financial [...]
Ivan Court, mayor of Saint John, New Brunswick, has a brainstorm. The mayor of Saint John is urging the provincial government to offer free tuition as a way to spur on a baby boom after the latest demographic portrait of the southern city shows it is not growing very quickly. […] “When I taught high [...]
Bill C-268, Joy Smith’s private members’ bill that would impose a minimum sentence of five years on those convicted of trafficking persons under the age of 18, passed second reading in the House of Commons this afternoon. The vote was 232 in favour and 47 against. Only the Bloc Québécois opposed the bill. The bill [...]
Quebec premier Jean Charest recently claimed that Quebec is a “family paradise”. He said this while visiting a daycare centre. What’s wrong with this picture? “Quebec is recognized as a leader in the world regarding support to families. Our government works so that Quebec remains a paradise for families. We ensure that all parents and [...]
Nova Scotia NDP candidate Lenore Zann appeared topless on the television show The L Word and the NDP is shocked—shocked!—that someone from the Liberal Party circulated a photo. I have a tip for Ms Zahn: If you don’t want topless photos of yourself intruding on your election campaign, don’t go in front of a camera [...]
Two more Saint Mary’s University students chime in to defend last February’s shameful and cowardly shout-down of pro-life speaker Jojo Ruba. Their letters, which appear in the latest issue of the SMU Journal, take a ugly turn with personal attacks on philosophy professor Mark Mercer, an outspoken and tireless defender of free speech on campus. [...]
Just the place to take the family for a Sunday afternoon picnic. Canada should push for the creation of an international park that would protect the area around the North Pole, Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff said Monday. […] “One of the proposals I’ve read about recently which I strongly support is that I think Canada [...]
Today, a new website is launched publicising the struggle against human trafficking. Canada Fights Human Trafficking (CFHT) is a non-profit organisation seeking to raise Canadians’ awareness about modern-day slavery. The site contains a wealth of information. The impact of trafficking on Canada is estimated at between $120 million to $400 million per year and accounts [...]
In March 2006, John Rooney called Jules Bertiboni in response to a newspaper ad for an apartment to rent. Mr Rooney subsequently claimed that Mr Bertiboni called him a “tapette” (“fag”) on the phone. Rooney says he became depressed and withdrawn after the alleged incident and complained to the Quebec Human Rights Tribunal. Mr Bertiboni [...]
Twice in the past ten days, “clerical errors” led to the mistaken release of prisoners from custody. One has since been apprehended, the other is still at large. That brings to seven the total number of mistaken releases or prisoner escapes since Cecil Clarke became Nova Scotia’s Minister of Justice in October 2007. Yesterday, Mr [...]
A clear victory for free speech in Canada. The BC Supreme Court has ruled that the City of Powell River was wrong to threaten charges of defamation against three residents who dared to criticise the mayor and council over their handling of a controversial harbour development. As reported by The Vancouver Sun’s Daphne Bramham, the [...]
Newfoundland and Labrador joined Confederation sixty years ago today, but it doesn’t seem to be a joyous occasion in St John’s. No tributes, no ceremonies and no parties are planned to mark the 60th anniversary on Tuesday of Newfoundland and Labrador joining Canada. Premier Danny Williams had planned last fall to hold a celebration to [...]
