Today Stephen Harper announced the appointment of David Johnston as Canada’s next governor-general. Johnston is a respected academic with Conservatives and Liberals alike. More importantly, this is another savvy political move that will help the Harper government in several ways. First, this appointment is a strong indication that Harper expects Canada to continue its brief hiatus in the land of the minority . As well, Johnston’s stature as an academic should not be overlooked. Many outside of the Conservative party have a growing suspicion that the Conservative party is a party of anti-intellectuals. The installation of Johnston as Governor-General is an effort in trying to combat this growing misperception. Finally, Harper has always leaned on people who can be politically reliable and the likelihood of him appointing someone he cannot trust or is a political unknown would have been very slim. All in all, it was a good appointment that hopefully will return dividends in the future.

Hudak Speaks The Truth About G. 20 Protesters
Tim Hudak proves again he has a clear conscience when it comes to what is right and wrong. Hudak gives voice to the voiceless, the broad swath that is Ontario’s middle-class. Hudak is the only politician standing up for middle-class values against professional protesters and anarchists.
The downtown core of Toronto was turned into a conflict zone by a group of lawless hooligans a little more than a week ago.
These reckless thugs were not in Toronto to protest a legitimate political cause. Instead they are part of a circuit of criminals who travel to international summits with one goal in mind — to destroy property, incite mayhem and terrorize law-abiding citizens.
Sadly, in the wake of the violence, a number of usual-suspect special interest groups are attempting to pin blame, not on the hooligans, but instead on our police services or the federal government.
That is why I oppose the orchestrated attempt by these activists to demonize our police services in the wake of the G20 violence. I proudly stand behind the men and women of our police services that were faced with a daunting and difficult task of protecting the public against these professional vandals and hooligans -
Rocksolid Proof that the Cultural Left as Contempt for Free Speech
Former Liberal cabinet minister Alan “censorship” Rock was revealed to be at the center of the University of Ottawa, Coulter controversy earlier this year. It’s clear that the cultural left has contempt for free expression and only believes in free speech , where they have the ability to control it. Of course, we do not want to hurt any one’s feelings or further disadvantage anymore groups as a result of some one’s expressing an opinion we disagree with. But didn’t you hear the last thing universities are for are to expand one’s mind, as well as ones horizons. The cultural left is fostering a bizarre politically correct version of far left group think within universities . Where a cult of conformity has become the new norm.
Ann Coulter is a mean-spirited, small-minded, foul-mouthed poltroon,” Rock wrote to Houle in a March 18 email. “She is ‘the loud mouth that bespeaks the vacant mind’.”
“She is an ill-informed and deeply offensive shill for a profoundly shallow and ignorant view of the world. She is a malignancy on the body politic. She is a disgrace to the broadcasting industry and a leading example of the dramatic decline in the quality of public discourse in recent times.”
After seeing a copy of the final email to Coulter, Rock praised Houle: “Quel excellent message! Merci et felicitations. I am sure she has never been dressed down so elegantly in her life!”
