What is the difference between child suicide and assisted suicide?

Think about this. In June we heard that there was a rash of suicides by school age children in Woodstock, Ontario, following on the footsteps of horror stories about First Nations children taking their own lives. Statistics Canada figures show that suicide is the second-leading cause of death among young people aged 15 to 34 and rates among youth are unchanged, despite efforts by clinicians to provide more targeted support.

Terror in Nice-Wake Up Canada-Time for a Revolution

John Lennon wrote in 1968 in response to the riots in Paris "You say you want a revolution..." My answer, today, is "Yes." I want a revolution. A peaceful revolution. From the right. From sea to sea to sea. From those of us who cherish our freedoms, our values and morals.

Diversity is Destroying our Social Contract

We are up against a new idol to worship-diversity. It is the latest in the tropes from the arrogant idealists who are really the 2.0 version of Cultural Marxists. Their policies are leading to suicide by democracy.

Obama Brainwashes America-Trump Leads Revolt

Many say that Trump is like Hitler, and if not like Hitler, he is speaking to people similar to the Nazis. There is a big difference between pre-Nazi Germany and the atmosphere in America prior to the arrival of Trump.

Fascism: Nazism and Islamism: Never Again?

"We will rule the nations, by Allah’s will, the USA will be conquered, Israel will be conquered, Rome and Britain will be conquered…' We say Never Again and Never Forget; but it's happening again because we have forgotten.

Massacre in Orlando-Who is to blame?

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Cultural Relativism and Obama

Obama has been busy implementing a world-view which resonates with a variety of Marxist philosophy called Cultural Marxism. “Critics have seen Cultural Marxism and its influence as an important cause of political correctness and as an important cause of a perceived decline of humanities, social sciences, culture, and civilization in the Western world. Cultural Marxists often try to remove these inequalities by more or less subtle manipulation and censorship of culture.”

Racing to enforce Bill C-14-murder by the state

Joseph Fletcher quoted in The Ethics of Genetic Control 1988, “The world no longer needs all the individuals we are capable of bringing into it—especially those who are unable to compete and are an unhappy burden to others. If the size of our families must be limited, surely we are entitled to children who are healthy rather than defective”(emphasis mine).

What does it mean to be Canadian?

What does it mean to be a Canadian? What are the values that we collectively share that hold us together as a community of Canadians? I ask these questions because we seem to have drifted away from common goals to demands for prioritizing respect for extreme individual rights.

Will that be facts or feelings?

According to Jonathan Kay, I am a fearmongering, xenophobic Islamophobe because I am against the wearing of the niqab in my country. He is just one of far too many “journalists” pushing an ideology that has no basis in reality.

It is the ethic that promotes intolerance

The Middle East is on fire: Muslims killing Muslims and killing Yazidis and Christians, destroying holy sites and trying ever so diligently to destroy Israel-the land of the Jewish people

The Valkyries around Ghomeshi need a life

I want to tell you about a beautiful little boy named Martin. He was the apple of his parent’s eyes. He was their first born. And he was beautiful. With a smile that went from ear to ear. Then one day without warning Martin died. At home; surrounded by his mother, his grandmother, the family doctor, the fire department, the police and the ambulance crew. His father had tried, vainly, to get home. Martin was two and a half.

Hold the presses. It isn’t mental illness-it is arrogant liberalism

Once again Canada’s self-appointed media elites are justifying actions of terrorists. This latest attack in Canada-insignificant compared to the recent bombings in Brussels-was downplayed. It wasn’t terrorism-it was mental illness. Of course it was.

Anti-semitism on campus-in OSHAWA!

The recently released "Report on Antisemitic Activity in 2015 at US Colleges and Universities With the Largest Jewish Undergraduate Populations" is the "first empirical study of its kind," showing that "the primary agents of anti-Semitic activity are anti-Zionist students and faculty boycotters." And "The strongest predictor of anti-Jewish hostility on campus" is the local presence of a Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign against Israel. Algemeiner, March 14, 2016

Salomon Benzimra: A terrible loss for the Jewish people

I had the honor of joining Salomon Benzimra and Goldi Steiner, co-founders of Canadians for Israel’s Legal Rights, to speak to members of Knesset and ask them to proudly proclaim Israel’s legal rights under international law – rights that clearly state Israel’s borders run from the river to the sea.

What happened to free speech?

Former Spanish Prime Minister José María Aznar wrote in 2010: "The West is going through a period of confusion over the shape of the world's future. To a great extent, this confusion is caused by a kind of masochistic self-doubt over our own identity; by the rule of political correctness; by a multiculturalism that forces us to our knees before others."

Does a fetus have the protection of Human Rights?

My partner's son and wife just gave birth to a beautiful little boy. And I mean little! He is 3 pounds. And two months too early. It seems the mommy's womb was not a big enough room for their little fellow. He had to move.

The case of the abducted culture

Muslim leaders talk about war, but it seems to fall on willfully deaf Western ears.

Why do Democracies demand Israel appease theocracies and despots?

Columnist Roger Cohen from the New York Times is one of many who has painted the late Prime Minister of Israel, Yizhak Rabin, as a hero because he apparently was prepared to give away half of the land of Israel for peace: this despite the fact that Israel had been forced to defend herself from three wars initiated by the Arab countries around her. The Arabs lost in 1948, 1967 and 1973, yet it was expected and continues to be that Israel “return” land for peace, return to the 1967 borders with agreed upon swaps.

Let's hope Oscar puts a spotlight on "Spotlight"

I watched the Golden Globes, more to listen to the beautifully irreverent Ricky Gervais than any other reason, because I am out of the loop when it comes to television series and Netflix. But I was fascinated by the choice for best picture. "Revenant." I haven’t seen it, I won’t be in the near future. I have no doubt that the cinematography is wondrous. And DiCaprio, I am sure he was superb. But the story? It’s old. There are a million stories in the naked city (look up that TV show); just the names change. Same with this one. Revenge. Lots of blood and gore. Retribution. Primal instincts at work. The Bible tells us to leave vengeance to God. Then go out and live the best life you can. That is the sweetest revenge.
