Taxes are bad; I’m voting for Stephen Harper
That is sarcasm. Am I allowed to do that? Here’s a new video I made, trying to capture some of my frustration with modern politics.
Ronald Reagan comes to Victoria (Esquimalt)
Ever walk into an elevator with someone you think might be packing a handgun under their coat? What if you know they have a pistol? It changes more than the vibe or the atmosphere. It takes a lot of trust. Just look around and see how people react when a police officer walks into a…
Globe & Mail, the Conservatives, and the right wing
Today’s argument takes the form of reductio ad absurdum. Premise 1: Canada’s newspaper of record would only endorse a centrist political party. Premise 2: The Globe & Mail is Canada’s newspaper of record…
Is Canada white supremacist? Reflections on Canada Day
