Yes, I decided to come out of the closet. I am all for choice. However I am not a narrow-minded 'choicer' like some people I know. I am for choice for everybody! When I am golfing, for example, I want to have the choice whether to use a seven iron or a nine iron. (Not that it will make any difference anyway.) [...]
When MP homosexual activist Svend Robinson complained about a police rubber bullet that had destroyed his black casual pants and injured his leg during a protest at the recent Summit of the Americas in Quebec City, I was heartened by the speed with which the National Post came to his aid, with their New Pants for Svend Fund. I am sorry, but [...]
The biggest failing in the world of politics today may be gullibility. You tell a politician with a sincere ring in your voice a whopping lie and he believes you! At one time with a pained look in their face they reached out for your neck to strangle you. Now they call in some flunkies and order them to see what they [...]
A "spin doctor" is not to be confused with a public relations person. A PR person always tries to dress up the act - trying to take a non-newsy but "good news" item and blow it up into a gargantuan front-page story. If you are a PR person for a large school board you pray every day that they do not find [...]
I get more of a laugh when I read some serious stuff than when I read the comics. (And they're supposed to be funny.) After police arrested 32 spectators recently for fighting and various drinking offenses and handed out $13,000 in fines at an annual charity hockey game between two student residences at St. Francis Xavier University in Antigonish, Nova Scotia, the [...]
I had this nightmare recently - only I was wide awake while I was having it. I was shocked by what I saw on the Internet: WANTED: STOCKWELL DAY, AN ESCAPED AND DANGEROUS CHRISTIAN - FIVE MILLION DOLLAR REWARD! What?! I knew the media had described Stockwell Day as "scary" because he believes in creationism and when Stockwell ran for prime minister [...]
There is a place in Canada that you won't find on any road map. It is called Liberal Heaven. It is not to be confused with the other Heaven because the stars there shine only for the Liberal Party and are justly rewarded for outstanding service. Attaining Liberal Heaven is not an easy feat. It requires sacrificing your integrity, personal convictions, the [...]
Eddie Goldenberg ran into Prime Minister Jean Crouton's office shortly after the federal election had been announced. Eddie screamed excitedly: "Denis Vincent is here! Denis says that he doesn't want to run against you this year!" Crouton is shocked. "What kind of a friend is he?! Does Denis want to see me defeated?! Show him in." Eddie darts out and Denis enters [...]
I blundered into a room in the Parliament Buildings in Ottawa recently looking for a washroom. I saw numerous cameras and lighting equipment and panic-stricken people running around. "What's going on?" I asked. "We're shooting a promo of the PM for the upcoming election," said a man standing at the back of the crowd. "We're going to have a federal election?!" "Shhh. [...]
A wild rumour was circulating around Ottawa that Prime Minister Jean Chretien was planning to join Ted Turner's Religion. It was going to be done publicly after the recently held Millennium Peace Summit on religion and world peace at the United Nations. As The Interim'sofficial rumour investigator, I was asked by our editor in chief, David Curtin, to investigate it. I phoned the [...]
If I wasn't suspicious by nature, I'd say that elections were decided by Joe Public getting out and voting. Everybody's vote is equal - right? Wrong. It's who's got the extra clout. In five years, according to Robert MacDermid, a political science professor at York University in Toronto, who tracks such things, the Ontario Tories have received a staggering $50 million from [...]
I am pleased to inform readers that Ontario members of the provincial legislature will definitely not go on strike in order to get the 33 per cent increase in pay they are seeking. (The Toronto Star suggests 2 per cent because they only worked 39 days last year.) I suggest that 2 per cent is too high. I recall Ontario Premier Mike [...]
I looked at my TV set recently, which was turned off at the time (actually there's not that much to look at anyway), and lo and behold I was shocked at what I saw on the screen! Suddenly the front page of the National Post appeared before my eyes with screaming headline: ‘HARRIS TORIES DEFEATED.' I looked at the date. It was [...]
I was shocked to learn that a 15-year-old high school student known as `Mafiaboy,' the alleged suburban Montréal-area cyber hacker who was charged recently with jamming CNN web sites, has announced that he is challenging Joe Clark for the federal Tory leadership. Mafiaboy, readers may recall, shut down in February some of the world's most popular Internet sites, costing the operators hundreds [...]
Why you're nothing but a banana republic!" That was the reaction that some of our American cousins had when told by Jim Hughes that only recently did our Canadian Members of Parliament learn that an un-elected collection of radical United Nations feminists/lesbians and left-leaning homosexual bureaucrats were totalling ignoring them as legislators and passing laws and putting out directives illegally ordering Canadians [...]
