How I.C.E. and its Ontario allies let Catholics down
How I.C.E. and its Ontario allies let Catholics down
Catholic Insight, September 2010 (republished with premission )
In mid April 2010 Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty hurriedly backed down on a new Sex Education program supposed to start in September this year. The Ministry of Education had posted it in January but it went unnoticed until April when there was an outcry against it. What surprised the Ministry most, apparently, was the vocal opposition of some Catholic educational leaders and the Archbishops of Toronto and Ottawa. The Ministry had thought the Catholics were “on board.” The question, therefore, is: where did Ontario education officials get the idea that Catholics would accept their “Equity and Inclusivity” strategy, which is so obviously “gay” partisan?
There is no doubt that the Ministry consulted with Catholic education officials. In an interview with Life Site News a Ministry spokeswoman, Patricia MacNeil, “emphasized...
Caviar Catholicism and the abortion politics of ‘delicacy’
QUEBEC, August 16, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Amidst the congratulations and best wishes imparted this week to Cardinal Marc Ouellet as he heads to his new post in Rome, the head of the Quebec Bishops’ Assembly has publicly criticized certain aspects of the Cardinal’s efforts to restore faith and morality in the once vibrantly-Catholic province.
In an interview with the Canadian Press on Friday, only days before the Cardinal’s farewell Mass, Bishop Martin Veillette of Trois-Rivières called Ouellet “an emotional person, who reacts quickly enough and who sometimes gets carried away by emotions, feelings, affection.”
…
Bishop Veillette noted that Ouellet is a teacher, and as such “his desire was to emphasize certain points of view that he considers important.”
“The bishops here have also taught, but in the way to do it, at ...
D&P Sending Haiti Earthquake Funds to Pro-Abort Group
HAITI, August 18, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The Canadian Catholic Organization for Development & Peace (D&P) is using funds collected for Haiti’s post-earthquake emergency relief effort to give an extra boost to at least one of their pro-abortion partners in the country.
The information surfaced in a report by the Catholic Register’s Michael Swan at the end of July, and was highlighted by John Pacheco at his SoCon or Bust blog.
D&P programs officer Debra Bucher told Swan that D&P is using their current partnerships in Haiti to take a long-term approach in rebuilding the country. “Our specialty is not emergency relief where we go and buy 20,000 tents and feed 500,000 people for three months,” she ...

Useful Idiots in the time of Stalin's Russia
Nothing much has changed. Now the useful idiots are the MSM and the Leftish parties all clamoring to change the world to one huge islamic madness. This is quite a documentary from the BBC Radio. Worth listening to. It is in 2 parts: In 1952 Doris Lessing, a British writer who has since won the Nobel Prize for Literature, was part of a delegation visiting the Soviet Union. Her memories of the trip are clear and unforgiving:
“I was taken around and shown things as a ‘useful idiot...
Inventing a Cold War to Buy New Fighters?
The Liberals are accusing the Conservative government of making something out of nothing to rationalize the purchase of stealth fighter jets. It seems like our F-18's are constantly scrambling to keep Russian planes from entering our airspace. Last Tuesday two cold war era bombers were shadowed near the Beaufort Sea.
But wait a minute. Is Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff on the sides of the Ruskies or something? Maybe: He has so many passports one might be from there.

Windsor Substance Abuse Emergency
Dear Prime Minister Harper
Children Aid Society Windsor Emergency I fear just returned from Windsor Ontario air is toxic concern for complete society breakdown in Windsor their society seems hopelessly addicted to alcohol their food contaminated industry deliberately throwing toxic waste on soil for no apparent reason other than spite and paper-bus stop signs. Fancy building in town is actually some kind of union condo building. Imagine water is likely chemically contaminated if ever properly tested VIA rail staff refused me boarding twice Windsor seems detention center in many ways what's going on and I do not want to know what kind of school system such a municipality could have under conditions should Windsor Ontario be declared Substance Abuse Emergency where even City Leadership seems to have lost all control of facilities and actively work to detriment of business for which they receive government su...
Stephen Harper Loves Guns
What is with Stephen Harper? The whole RCMP brass is for the long gun registry and so are other police forces around the country as they believe that it substantially reduces gun related crimes and murders. Does Stephen Harper know something that these law enforcement officials don’t? Some of these law enforcement officials have decades of practical experience. What expertise Harper and his minions have?
"The State Apparatus"

Government Borrowing
by Murray N. Rothbard
The following is excerpted in its entirety from Appendix A to Chapter 12 of Rothbard's Man, Economy, and State: A Treatise on Economic Principles with Power and Market: Government and the Economy [2nd ed., 1993; 2nd ed., 1977], 2nd rev. ed. (Auburn, Ala.: Ludwig von Mises Institute, 2009), pp. 1025-28. It has been slightly edited in terms of content (simply, to remove an irrelevant reference to other parts of the book), and has been edited from its original formatting.

Conservatives Making Shameful Use of Shock Politics
Except for the fact that it was motivated by a desire to shock Canadians into plumping for the purchase of 65 F-35s to replace the CF-18s. This is flagrantly obvious, as such events are not normally brought to the public's attention. But with the government announcement of the purchase of the F-35s, they need some sort of justification for this $9billion and up purchase.
Does the government really believe that it can make most Canadians believe we are in danger from the Russians because they are performing routine exercises? They should be ashamed of trying to deceive the public this way.
PS: on a side note, the TU-95 Russian bombers (nickna...
Barack Obama says Muslim prayers in the Oval Office

Outside the Oval Office he looks around to make sure that no one is looking and then he rushes in and says his Muslim Prayer. Caught by a special camera.:)
Where would these Tea Partiers/Tea Baggers will stop. First it was a controversy about Rev.Jeremiah Wright of the United Church who was Obama’s spiritual guide for 20years because Rev. Wright is alleged to have said “…not God Bless America. God damn America” therefore he was un-American. So for 20 years Obama was Christian but guided by a “bad” pastor. Then he was not born in US, this notion was led by crazy woman Orly Taitz, and now he is a Muslim. These morons are not only causing problems through fear mongering but they are insulting 1.7 billion Muslims as according to them being Muslim is intrinsically bad. More recently the outrage about the proposed Islam...

What Tories are Missing in the Patronage Revelations
Looking at the comments on news stories, you see a lot of Tories saying: "If he only appointed Tories to 20% of the jobs, then that means 80% went to Liberals, NDPers, Blocs and Greens. Why are the Liberals complaining?"
But that is not the case. When they said supporters, the Liberal MPs meant Conservative party insiders, people who had worked for the party or had given large donations to it. People that actually were Conservative party members. They did not mean anyone who voted Conservative in the last election.
Not every Canadian is a member of a political party, or is a donor to one. Far from it. To think therefore that the appointments can be divide...

Census, gun registry and crime agenda
The positions on the census and gun registry seem to follow a libertarian approach. Less government is better and we must focus on core functions -- keep government out of people's lives. This is a valid intellectual position -- one with legitimate conservative roots -- and while I don't agree with it I respect it.
The crime agenda, by contrast, focussed on the government managing people's lives so as to ensure they behave properly -- hence the proposed increases in penalty for running a bawdy house or drug offences. I don't agree with the position but I understand it.
The trouble is the positions don't seem the be consistent and, what's more, the inconsistency cannot be justified by claiming that the government is doing what works regardless of ideolo...
Howard Dean is speaking for the party, not for humanity
By siding with the 68 percent of Americans who object to the Cordoba House, on the surface because of its location, Dean is being loyal to his party. He knows that Obama's stance on the centre is out-of-touch with the majority of the country. He knows this is bad for the Democrats in the mid-terms just ten weeks away. Instead, Obama is looking beyond the politics. He is do...
When cousins marry cousins
....My family is not unique. My family is not unique. In the UK more than 50 per cent of British Pakistanis marry their cousins – in Bradford that figure is 75 per cent – and across the country the practice is on the rise and also common among East African, Middle-Eastern and Bangladeshi communities.
Back when my grandparents were hav...
