CHARITY TAKES A HIT

We’d like to answer the question as to why charitable donations in Canada continue to decline, according to a recent Sun article. Taxes consume so much of our incomes that there’s hardly anything left to donate. Everyone loses, except the government, which keeps growing at every level. As a wise person once said, the bigger the government, the smaller the citizens. It’s time to kill the giant!

EMPTY WORDS

A statement from PM (Justin) Trudeau during his visit to Mali says “that the Canadian military is making a difference in Mali”. Trudeau states no facts when he makes this claim. It is all political rhetoric. However, in the same article, a Canadian military representative to Mali says that violence in that country is at record levels this year. The article also states that the violence which had previously been limited in the north of the Mali has now spread throughout the south, too. So who do we believe? The political hot air coming out of Trudeau’s mouth or the facts stated by a member of the Canadian military!

FINALLY, A WIN

There is still hope for this country. Finally a little sanity from our courts of law. The judge ruling that Omar Khadr doesn’t get any special conditions to his bail is a breath of fresh air. Now if we could get the crime minister to secure our borders and stop this insanity of bringing in more and more of Khadr types into this country that we cannot afford would be nice. But we know that won’t happen till we vote he with the golden spoon in his mouth out.
