  • There has been a recent controversy surrounding the dual Canadian/French citizenship held by Federal NDP leadership hopeful, Thomas Mulcair.

  • The 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?

  • When Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who was himself a doctor, wrote about the adventures of Sherlock Holmes over 100 years ago, the notion that a person could abuse mind altering drugs or frequent opium dens was as common as our young people today taking ecstasy or oxycodone.  What Doyle probably could not have envisaged nor condoned would be the government...
