Clearly, Laurie Blakeman has trouble understanding that throwing money at problems does not solve them :
“How could we, in the third millennium, be dealing with the levels of syphilis that are out there in this province with this amount of money?” she asked.
“This province doesn’t know what to do with health so they keep shifting everything around hoping it will all work and this time out, I think they’ve impaired the ability of the public-health section to do their job.”
What job might that be? The job of telling people to wear condoms? telling them again and again and again? Most people already know. Not a very complicated sex-ed lesson.
Old-fashioned conservatives and religious-folk are often characterized as proponents of abstinence education and usually they are . They are ridiculed as being the cause of failed sexual health programs. I suppose we
On the other hand, socialists have trouble accepting the free-will of manki...

The mayors of some American cities want to shun tar sands oil because it is not clean enough , i.e., too much pollution is created in its refinery. They are being completely stupid — unless the intention of these politicians is to deliberately screw the consumers .

more Conserative.ca is an Embarrassment for the PartyFrom: feeds.feedburner.com

It’s shocking how utterly pathetic the website Conservative.ca has become. After making such a big deal about a MPs newletter containing a joke about killing Prime Minister Stephen Harper , the people behind Conserative.ca go and post this garbage (notice the bullet holes behind Stephane Dion) . [Tip: Warren Kinsella ]
Look at the actual Conservative.ca website - the front page is riddled with childish shots and games aimed at the Liberals, and particular Stephane Dion. T...
