Right now, it's downright dangerous for taxpayers walking by Queen's Park because they're liable to be knocked down by the bags of money being thrown out the doors to pay for pre-election propaganda masquerading as informational ads. If I can't find a Family Coalition Party [...]
One of the most terrifying aspects of Canadian politics for social conservatives - at least this should be the case - is the nation's so-called "human rights" commissions and tribunals.
