Posted on March 22, 2012 | No CommentsOn March 22nd, 2012 I sat down with Lord Christopher Monckton for a one-on-one discussion of education, journalism, Catholicism, Islam, conservatism, and philosophy. -

Captive consent
Posted on March 8, 2012 | No CommentsLast week the Fraser Institute released a ranking of the schools in Ontario based on the scores each school received from the Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO). The EQAO is an arm’s-length Crown agency of the Government of Ontario instituted under the Progressive Conservative government of Mike Harris in 1996. Its mandate is to conduct province-wide tests at key... -
Interpol-itics
Posted on February 16, 2012 | No CommentsOn February 4th a 23 year old Saudi journalist, Hamza Kashgari posted three tweets on his Twitter account referring to Mohammad. ”On your birthday, I shall not bow to you. I shall not kiss your hand. Rather, I shall shake it as equals do, and smile at you as you smile at me. I shall speak to you as a... -
You can lead a juror to court, but you can’t make him think.
Posted on February 2, 2012 | No Comments“Is it proper to compel someone to sit as a juror?” The issue has come about due to a rather unusual event which took place here in London where 20 people were rounded up in the street and told to appear before a judge the next day as potential jurors. Here is what happened: On January 17th, three men were... -
Social approval at the root of “honour” killings
Posted on February 2, 2012 | No CommentsThis week a jury in Kingston, Ontario convicted three people of first degree murder: Afghan immigrant Mohammad Shafia, his wife Tooba Mohammad Yahya, and their son Hamed Shafia. Dead are Mr. Shafia’s three daughters and his first wife. While the facts of the case were interesting in their own right, to me the most important feature of the trial was... -
“It’s a Wonderful Life”…Or is it?
Posted on December 22, 2011 | 1 CommentOne of Christmas’s perennial favourites is Frank Capra’s It’s a Wonderful Life starring James Stewart and Donna Reed. What apparently makes this a classic is its underlying theme that one’s life, however ordinary influences many others like the ripples in pond. While this might be a truism it does not in my mind make this a great film. In fact,... -
Excessive punishment on trial.
Posted on December 8, 2011 | 1 CommentThere is an increasingly alarming trend in society today and that is the practice of punishment which is excessive to the crime. The Canadian government’s Omnibus Crime Bill has passed third reading in the House and has moved onto the Senate for its rubber stamp approval. One of the more disturbing elements of the Bill is the provision for mandatory... -
Judge and be prepared to be judged.
Posted on December 8, 2011 | No CommentsIn my writings and on my radio show I have continually passed moral judgment on the actions, writings, and sayings of others. Although I do not judge indiscriminately, or lightly, I do not shy away from such judgments and I do not adhere to the biblical commandment “Judge not that ye be not judged.” Matthew 7:1. Instead I adhere to... -
Love of life – the root of compassion
Posted on October 20, 2011 | No CommentsLast Thursday a little girl was run over on a street in Foshan City in Communist China. A dozen passersby ignored her writhing moaning body as it lay in a pool of blood. Another truck came by, slowed down, and then ran over her legs. Yet more passersby ignored her until a garbage collector came and moved her to the... -
Occupy Wall Street – anatomy of a protest
Posted on October 13, 2011 | 1 CommentIt’s been over three weeks now since the start of the Occupy Wall Street protest. We can now see a little more clearly the facts surrounding who started the protest and why. The first few days of the protest reminded me of the scene from the movie Network where crazed TV anchorman Howard Beale, played by Peter Finch, rants at... -
Ethical oil
Posted on September 22, 2011 | No CommentsThe recent ethicaloil.org advertisement asking us to support Alberta oil sands over Saudi oil begs the question, Why? Because the Saudi’s won’t let women drive? The Saudis won’t allow women to work? In Saudi Arabia a women’s testimony is only worth half of that of a man’s? Well, not to make light of these egregious violations of individual rights, only... -
The solution to violence… the proper philosophy
Posted on August 18, 2011 | No CommentsBy now we are all familiar with the England riots of a few weeks ago. By now we are all familiar with all the reasons given to explain the violence, the poor education system, single parenting, lack of father figures, lack of political leadership, ineffective policing, racial tensions, multiculturalism, football hooliganism, Facebook, twitter, cell phones, violent music lyrics, the poor... -
Imbalance of terror…in the media
Posted on July 28, 2011 | No CommentsUpon first hearing the news of the bombing and shooting in Norway my first thought, as I’m, sure it was the first thought of many, was that this was yet another attack by Islamists on the West. We now know of course that the perpetrator, Anders Breivk, was a Norwegian Nationalist. A Christian, not a Muslim. What a rarity. How... -
Mohamed Bouazizi – martyr to freedom?
Posted on March 31, 2011 | No CommentsFor the past three months the Arab world has been undergoing a revolution but not many know how it all began. It started in Tunisia with the overthrow of Dictator Ben Ali but what event started it all. Mohamed Bouazizi, a young fruit vendor killed himself by self-immolation out of despair, humiliation and utter defeat at the hands of a... -
Fukushima and the anti-technology fallout
Posted on March 31, 2011 | 3 CommentsIt was Earth Hour last week and apparently it went virtually unnoticed by the vast majority of us according to the hydro usage stats kept by the various electrical utilities. People were to turn off their lights and appliances and sit in the dark around candles and contemplate how technology is destroying the planet. It was a very competitive observance... -
The failure of the fourth estate
Posted on February 3, 2011 | No CommentsMany institutions of the fourth estate often advertise themselves as “trusted” news sources. Trust is the fourth estate’s backbone. Without trust I would venture to say that news organizations would no longer exist. People would no longer view their news programs, nor buy their newspapers and businesses would no longer advertize with them. But trust is a fleeting thing. Any... -
Polygamy – untangling the web
Posted on December 2, 2010 | No CommentsThe recent court case of Winston Blackmore and James Oler of Bountiful, B.C. has ignited considerable debate over the practice of polygamy and of the definition of marriage. The issue can be examined from many angles. There are moral, religious and legal arguments for and against polygamy. However, I particularly found interesting the growing list of non sequitur arguments. The... -
Beware the Samaritan snare
Posted on October 21, 2010 | No CommentsAny talk on poverty such as the one we had on our show last week will inevitably bring up discussion around compassion. I received a note from Ralf, a loyal listener in Italy, who asked if “giving” is implied in the word compassion. To this I would say no. Compassion is an emotion akin to sympathy which arises out of... -
Vacuum ethics
Posted on June 24, 2010 | No CommentsThe Quebec Superior Court handed down a decision last week attempting to resolve a dispute between the Quebec government and a Jesuit Catholic school. Loyola High School in Montreal challenged a provincially required ethics course on religious grounds. With the decision it won the right to teach its own brand of ethics to its students. When I first learned of... -
Publication bans – see no evil, see no justice
Posted on May 6, 2010 | No CommentsThe incidents of criminal trials being conducted out of the eyes of the public or the press seem to be increasing and if the rate publication bans continues justice in this country may become a thing of the past. Ayn Rand once wrote, “Justice is the recognition of the fact that you cannot fake the character of men as you... -
Black history month
Posted on February 11, 2010 | No CommentsI can’t say that I know much about “black history”, in fact I can’t say I know much about “white history, yellow history, red history or brown history.” But now that it is black history month I decided to educate myself a little about this month of remembrance. I turned to Wikipedia for a quick synopsis: The purpose of Black... -
Climategate – revealing the media bias
Posted on December 3, 2009 | No CommentsClimategate: A quick synopsis of the events. On Nov. 17th, 2009 an anonymous hacker posted stolen e-mails and source documents on the internet. These e-mails were stolen from the University of East Anglia’s Climatic Research Unit headed by Professor Phil Jones. The e-mails have been confirmed by Dr. Jones to be authentic. The e-mails appear to suggest that Jones and... -
The “green” movement – hatred of the good for being the good
Posted on October 22, 2009 | No CommentsThis week (Oct 22, 2009) some London City Councilors have suggested that the city turn off its street lights completely so that that the birds and the trees can get their rest. Yes, not the birds and the bees but the birds and the trees. This dark skies lunacy is just another innovative way that the meddlers have found find... -
Assisted suicide and the right to die with dignity
Posted on October 1, 2009 | No CommentsOther shows and the newspapers have touched on the recent introduction of Bill C-384 An Act to amend the Criminal Code (Right to die with dignity) but what I would like to do is to take us through the bill, clause by clause and discuss the arguments against the bill and those in favour. And the best place to start...
