Weaker loonie hurts Canadians more than it helps

America: Plunging Headlong into Reprobation?

The dictionary definition pales against the Biblical definition of reprobation. The Bible says God gives men over to a state of reprobation, as we collectively approach the last days of time before the second coming of Christ. The definition given in Romans 1: 28 is one of the most frightening prophetic statements in all of scripture.

Obama Lacks Respect Among World Leaders

This commentary was published back in August of 2010. I have decided to offer it once again so you can quickly see how things have, indeed, gotten worse since these words were written.

Cherish the Keys!

Pianos are available, often for free, almost everywhere - as long as you are willing to pay for moving the beast.

Eareckson Tada slams Belgian euthanasia law as British lawmakers consider the matter

Noted author Joni Eareckson Tada, a quadriplegic since a teenage swimming accident, has challenged Belgian lawmakers to explain their decision to extend euthanasia to children, while denying minors access to alcohol, tobacco and pornography.

Pulitzer Prizes for Russian Spy Stories?

The American media establishment is on the verge of awarding "distinguished" Pulitzer Prizes to National Security Agency (NSA) leaker Edward Snowden's media mouthpieces, the recipients of his stolen national security documents. Such a move would further confirm the role of the media in helping America's enemies and adversaries, and undermine whatever credibility the media have left with the American people.

Obama Favors Ukraine Citizenry Over Homeless Veterans

LOS ANGELES - If President Barack Obama was as assertive at protecting the property rights of the Los Angeles National Veterans Home as he is at protecting the borders of Ukraine, we wouldn't have 20,000 war-injured and impoverished U.S. Military Veterans living homeless and hungry in America's capital for homeless Veterans.

Putin and Obama Singing from the same Choir Book

Think of Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Barack Obama as who they really are: two self-propelled power grabbers of two separate nations singing loudly from the very same choir book.

The Path to War

Having lived through the long Cold War with the former Soviet Union, including the Cuban Missile crisis, my thoughts over those years were that their leaders would not risk war because the outcome would be disastrous for Russia. When it collapsed in 1991, its Eastern Europe satellite states broke free to establish their independence.

Joe Biden claims to have 'led the fight' for Poland to join NATO - two years after they joined

This week, Vice President "Jumpin'" Joe Biden was dispatched to Poland, where he was supposed to calm our jittery Eastern European allies. Apparently, people there have started to think that Putin is an old-guard Ruskie expansionist, and U.S. leadership isn't up to the task of reining him in. We can't imagine where they got that idea.

By the way, Obama's waving the surrender flag on control of the Internet too

Al Gore did not invent the Internet, nor did he "take the initiative in creating the Internet," which is what he actually claimed in that notorious but often misquoted interview on CNN.

Sanctioned Putin aide: Hey Obama, thanks for nominating me 'best actor in a supporting role'

How weak are the sanctions President Obama has levied against a tiny handful of Russian individuals in response to an entire nation's invasion of Crimea? So weak that one of the individuals in question is making jokes about them.

Six Powers Must Heed Warnings of New UN Reports on Iran Rights Violations

GENEVA, – As the EU's Catherine Ashton concluded what she called "substantive and useful" nuclear talks with Iran at a 2-day session in Vienna, saying they would meet again on April 7th, world powers need to pay attention to two new UN reports on Iran that document worsening human rights violations, says Geneva-based human rights group UN Watch.

Neil deGrasse Tyson: Sowing Atheism Throughout the Cosmos

As a creationist, I find Neil deGrasse Tyson's presumption to educate America on the meaning of science as host of Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey repulsive and sad. I am repulsed by Tyson's transparent attempt to promote atheism and discredit the Word of God, and saddened that so many cannot recognize the Dark Age a priori pseudo-science animating his slick words.

New Zealand - A Country Full of Unexpected Treasures

As a vacation destination, New Zealand is known for its breathtaking landscapes and incredible outdoor activities – such as kayaking with wild dolphins in Nelson, sailing on an America’s Cup yacht in Auckland and scuba diving in the Poor Knights Islands. And you can’t forget the exceptional wine experiences available – from staying at vineyards to the Classic Wine Trail that runs through both the North Island and South Island. (Thankfully, Kiwis share their wine with the world and we can enjoy it at home too.) However, New Zealand is also full of unexpected treasures known only to locals (or very lucky visitors who happen upon them by accident). We’ve lifted the lid on some of these amazing places and things to do. Shh… keep them to yourself.

The Real Problem with Public-Sector Pension Plans

TORONTO, - While public debate has mainly focused on the "gold-plated" defined benefits of many public-service pension plans, the real problem lies in a flawed approach to managing compensation costs, according to respected pension expert Malcolm Hamilton. In, "Evaluating Public-Sector Pensions: How Much Do They Really Cost?" Hamilton says the problem is government sponsors who typically underestimate the cost of guaranteeing pay-outs in the future, leading to the undervaluation of employee pension costs and the mismanagement of employee compensation.
