“If you make people think they’re thinking, they’ll love you, but if you really make them think, they’ll hate you.” Watch out Canada! B.C.’s Kim Campbell is running on her record and “charisma without substance” is becoming a haunting reminder of her past. Described as the “Darling of the media,” and “the Madonna of Canadian politics,” she grabbed headlines as, one by [...]
Earlier this year I took an unprecedented step for me and joined a political party. I chose the Liberal Party for two reasons. First, the party policies generally fit more comfortable with my own views than do those of the two other major parties. Secondly, I know the woman who was seeking nomination in my riding. I knew I could support her [...]

Reflecting on her many years as a volunteer, Isabel Graham, a Toronto mother and grandmother, laughingly says, “People used to feel sorry for me because I was a professional social worker without a job, but they didn’t realize I was constantly using my professional skills in the community.” Isabel has used her professional credentials for over twenty years to strengthen family values. [...]
Queen Kim The Progressive Conservatives (an oxymoron in he class of “safe sex” and “politically correct”) are killing me. Draft one of this column talked of a June coronation for Defense Minister Avril Phaedra (“B.S.”) Kim Campbell. It seemed ol’ Bare Shoulders would go unchallenged as Michael Wilson, Don Mazankowski, Barbara McDougall and Perin Beatty all dropped like flies, thereby changing Tory [...]
A pro-life witness who complained that she was intimidated by a CBC producer has been vindicated by a House of Commons Committee who found the producer to be “over-zealous.” The Standing Committee on House Management investigated the complaint following a question of privilege raised in the House of Commons by pro-life MP Don Boudria. The case involves the testimony of Cheryl Eckstein [...]
Canadian’s are saying their goodbyes to Brian Mulroney – most with more than a little joy in their voices. They might be wise to restrain their enthusiastic voices alleluias. Mulroney’s replacement as Prime Minister will be essentially the same. And the leader after that, and the leader after that, will be cut from the same mould—unless we are willing to make some [...]
No betrayal “I cannot vote for a bill that would take human life.

Stan Wilbee, Doug Fee, Fernand Jourdenais, Jesse Flis, Bob Horner, Dennis Mills, Peter McCreath, Maurice Dionne and Don Blenkarn. MPs whose speeches helped them kill the Ian Waddell motion which recommended that the government consider a bill legalizing euthanasia and doctor-assisted suicide. The Toronto Star. For blatantly irresponsible coverage of the Florida tragedy. Instead of presenting the facts, the paper chose [...]
While federal Liberal organizers have resorted to autocratic riding appointments so they can round up suitable female candidates, one group of women is quietly doing its own organizing within the party. These women say they are prepared to run on their own merits against the men in nomination meetings, even through high-profile Liberals argue that the party has to adopt “extraordinary [...]
“If it was so, it might be; and if it were so, it would be: but as it isn’t, it ain’t. That’s logic.” Lewis Carroll Alice’s in Wonderland. In the wacky, zany world on B.C. politics, the mainstream media rarely worry about truth and consequences. Relying on rumor and innuendo, their creativity border on the absurd. Where is the news? In [...]
Dan McCash got it from the horse’s mouth – the federal Liberal’s have abandoned him and he’s been shut out of Etobicoke-Lakeshore. McCash, national coordinator for Liberals for Life, confronted Jean Chretien at a party function in Toronto May 18. Chretien, in answer to McCash’s question of whether he was going to be allowed to seek the nomination, said “to be [...]
Kim Campbell seems set to romp to victory in a June convention but many are starting to ask questions about the federal Conservative Party’s great new hope. Pro-life leaders, in particular, are trying to decide how dangerous the current Defence Minister will be if, as the polls indicate, she is given a mandate by convention delegates to take over from Brian Mulroney. [...]
On March 8, 1993, the Family Coalition Party of Ontario announced that it will be running two candidates in the recently vacated provincial ridings of St.George-St.David and Don Mills. The elections will be held on April 1. Louis DiRocco, past president of the FCP, has thrown his hate into the St.George-St.Devid race, one of Ontario’s most bizarre ridings. The area includes the [...]
