The situation confronting Canadians as it regards our responsibilities towards the indigenous people has festered far too long without resolution. Oka, Ipperwash, and now, Caledonia. These confrontations between the first nations people and the people of Canada have their roots going back through history to the first settlers reaching these shores. If we are to honour our country's history we

There's an opportunity for us to learn more about our native brothers and sisters. Taking place near the historic city of Brantford, on Six Nation land, the people there have been demonstrating their right to sovereignty of their land.

Mrs Layton seems to have received her financial information from the Caledon Institute of Social Policy. They wrote a paper in February, published in the Globe and Mail 15Feb06, which categorically refutes the Conservative Government's Choice for Childcare initiative. Unfortunately, the black and white numbers substantially obfuscate the truth. Of course, the Institute is not known for its

Olivia Chow, has learned to exploit and manipulate the lapdog media. In a recent press conference, complete with clever visual aids, she tried to make her point that having your lies broadcast on the national media makes them true.

The NDP fanatics are at it again. Spreading lies, innuendos, and degrading debate with scare tactics. They stand for passivism and appeasment. Won't have any violence to save their lives. Thank God there's only a few of them to round up. Here's a quote from the Defence Critic Dawn Black taken from the debate on military committment in Afghanistan that they clamoured for.

I did some checking to see what the status quo is for government-assistance as it regards society's children. It's a dark, deep, and dank matted tangle of program acronyms and eligiblility criteria, to be sure.

Anyone listening to Ms Chow, MP for Trinity-Spadina, have a fit in the House last week should have learned one thing, again. The NDP have no grasp on reality. If their opinions were only based on some sort of shared reality amongst the rest of us normal folk we could certainly debate the points they bring up. Unfortunately, they are on a far too distant planet than our own to ever reach them.

The House of Parliament shouldn't be so entertaining. It's fortunate we only have 45 minutes a day (Monday to Friday) to listen to the buffoons carry on like no one's watching.

When Jack Layton rushed to the microphones during a break in Parliament's Question Period it looked suspiciously like a set up. Anytime you put a mic in front of that used car salesman it's time to place a firm grasp on your wallet and start walking away. Unfortunately, this new media forum providing Parliamentarians, even Jack, a soapbox to spew their opinions on nano-issues is problematic.

The even toned, well-balanced, deliberate and coherent throne speech for this 39th Parliament gives me pause to reflect on the wisdom made manifest by our new Prime Minister. Amongst all the symbolic trappings of authority, within the august chamber of the Senate, it was all but surreal.

My father was a career Air Force pilot. He flew Lancasters and Halifax bombers in the Second World War and F86 Sabres and CF104s in the Cold War. The life spent on military bases throughout Canada and overseas was one of pride, discipline, and sacrifice.

I dipped into the public record (hansard) to recall the offical positions of the various parties as they were constituted way back in the dark ages of 2001. I think it illuminates the current politically motivated request for a debate which, as you will see by reading the appropriate hansard links, is being prompted by the NDP for nothing more than to gain a strategic advantage. As per normal.

I don't know about you but if anyone's caught the Question Period you'll see how discussions of national import are conducted in our House of Commons. Check Hansard for a hint. Aside from the sarcasm and character assassinations from the party of the day empowered to answer, there are actual rules and procedures on how enquiries are made.

When Jean Chretien's Liberal Party of Canada decimated the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada, and became one of the strongest majorities ever enjoyed by a party in Canada, no one suspected the tame, sedate, apologetic, and appeasing gentlemen of the Canadian government to bring down the worst reign of terror about to befall all freedom loving Canucks.

Now that we're in the hen house I'd like to know just where all my money is and where it's going.In my forays around the net I came upon the Canadian Taxpayers Association website which exposes just how much outgoing members of Parliament were being compensated for their many years of good service. They've done some mighty fine research and have provided us with a tabulation of their research.

This event came at the end of the week which started with a flood of Liberal Party's attack ads (including the one slurring our military).
