• CTV : Ontario NDP demands province regulate gas prices

  Tue Jul 11, 2006
  • Expensive gas is better than no gas. That's true. I'm kind of on the fence about gas price regulation, myself.

• Ottawa Citizen : Ontario "wins" fight to cut off autism therapy at age 6

  • What is sealing the border going to do?

• Canada.com : PM Stephen Harper says he'll push for delay in passport requirements at U.S. border

  Thu Jun 1, 2006
  • It is, however, a little different to ask for a passport after not requiring one. People used to hopping over the border for the day or evening, may not bother. I believe in Europe, you do not require a passport to travel between EU nations.

• Toronto Star : Canadian Prime Minister's Office muzzles MPs on gay Mountie union

• Reuters : Canadian PM Stephen Harper rips into "biased" press

  Fri May 26, 2006
  • Maybe it's just me, but I find that the media is just "anti-government". Sure, columnists and editors have a bias (and you can see it in their opinion pieces), but the news pieces tend to be just anti-government in generall.

• Saudi Arabia, Cuba, China, Russia: guarding your human rights at the UN

  Tue May 9, 2006
  • I think it's more likely that these five will use their status as members of the council to flout their "positive stance on human rights".

• CTV : Canadian NDP MP wants ban on non-essential pesticides

  Mon Apr 24, 2006
  • Nicotine is a natural pesticide: it's tobacco's natural defence against getting eaten. It doesn't work. If it did, please explain chewing tobacco. :-)

• National Post : Canadian opposition parties likely to help pass age of consent bill

  Mon Apr 24, 2006
  • I think it's a good idea too, in theory.

• Canada.com : Few families will see $1,200 from Tory childcare plan: NDP leader, Jack Layton

  Thu Apr 20, 2006
  • Jack Layton and the NDP's position aside, the point he is really making is that the $1,200 isn't $1,200 when it finally reaches parents. It will be substantially less if the Conservatives will take tax off it. All parties will support the child support, but not if it is taxed.
