     Globe and Mail article. Hard right? Now, that is ridiculous. Here is a brief rebuttal from Suzanne: Is there an abortion ban yet? Has the deficit been paid down and the CBC been sold?

No?

Then it's hardly a party of the hard right. Suzanne is perfectly right about that. If anything I doubt if we even have a political "right" (or even a "center-right") in Canada.

     announces that the Canadian government is now open to funding abortion under its G8 maternal health plan. And on the same day (or very close to it,) there is a new poll released, according to which the Conservatives and the Liberals not only run neck in neck, but the Liberals are actually likely to win more seats in spite of having slightly fewer votes.

We've seen that before, just 4 months ago or so. After standing up to those demanding more tax funds for abortion (and leading in the polls,) the party tried to soften its stance - and slipped to virtual party with the Liberals. They managed to reverse the trend, once the signs of economic recovery became visible, but apparently ...">

     National Post article by Charles Krauthammer: Liberalism under siege is an ugly sight indeed. Just yesterday it was all hope and change and returning power to the people. But the people have proved so disappointing. Their recalcitrance has, in only 19 months, turned the predicted liberal ascendancy into a full retreat. Ah, the people, the little people, the small-town people, the “bitter” people, as Barack Obama in an unguarded moment once memorably called them, clinging “to guns or religion or” — this part is less remembered — “antipathy toward people who aren’t like them.”

That’s a polite way of saying: clinging to bigotry. And promiscuous charges of bigotry are precisely how our current rulers and their vast media auxiliary react to an obstreperous citizenry that insists on incorrect thinking.

She then goes through the arguments of the pro-abort side and rebuts them one by one. "Is it possible to be a human and not a person?", Lia asks in conclusion. That's the question which the pro-abort side is so anxious to avoid. That's why they pretend to be ignorant of the basic biological facts that even a 13-year old can easily understand.">

     this research about the role of the government schools in destroying Christianity sounds to you like some crazy conspiracy theory - there's no doubt about the tendency of public schools to encourage mediocrity, quashing individuality and success. Tim Bloedow weighs in on public schools, giving some examples of their approach to students that do better than others and - giving a brief overview of the typical outcome of such "education", including the growing number of young adults who don't really act as ones.

     the government chose to stop prosecuting him. They decided to back down, arguing that David Little doesn't have much taxable income anyway, so it would be easier (and cheaper) to drop the case than let it go all the way to the Supreme Court. Keith Ward, the federal prosecutor, said he decided to stay the charges so that federal funds could be used on more important issues. "It's for reasons of economy," he told the Daily Gleaner. "He was essentially going to run the same defence ... He can easily manipulate the system all the way up to the Supreme Court of Canada level."

Ward also noted that Little has basically no taxable income.
