LIBERAL HEAVEN

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 [...]

Turner, Hillary and other banalities

You couldn't make it up. I mean, really, you couldn't make it up. The way various actors, media figures and fellow travellers have rallied around Al Gore and Hillary Clinton, often motivated by support for abortion and homosexuality. Ted Turner was there, of course. And he is typical of the breed. Remember Ted? In 1990 the founder of CNN and vice-chairman of [...]

Words to vote by

I am committed never again to cast a vote for a politician who would kill one innocent baby. These little ones have no defense except that which we provide for them. Never will I use my influence, however remotely, to support the shedding of their blood. If [one party] wants to defend "a woman's right to choose," and [another] wants to build [...]

The obligation to vote pro-life

Editorial The Interim, Nov. 2000 The basic principle of pro-life voting is the following: being pro-abortion (or "pro-choice") disqualifies a person for public office. This includes those who claim to be "personally opposed" to abortion, but are unwilling to do anything to stop it. The right to life is the fundamental human right, on which every other right depends. It follows that [...]

Crouton’s Election Video

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. [...]
