Dear Electors, RE: Strategic Voting and the Fear of Wasting a Vote With all due respect to Tim Hortons, there are some institutions that are held even dearer by Canadians: the old age pension, unemployment insurance, and universal medical care among them. And it will be news toContinue Reading
Conservative Tax Credits Are Big Government The Harper Conservative are proposing a tax credit for service club memberships. That follows earlier tax credits for volunteer firemen, children’s organized sports, and children’s organized cultural activities. These are all very noble and worthy endeavours.

Why a new sex curriculum for Ontario? From listening to the talking points of most Canadian media outlets these days, we would surmise that Ontario is long overdue for an upgrade in what is taught about sex. In this day of smart phones, internet, etc, the youth of Ontario needContinue Reading
