Canadian politics
From Mark Steyn
University bureaucracies are not making it easy for groups like Hillel to push back against those who would deligitimize Israel and make excuses for terrorist organizations. “There’s something very wrong with Canadian education when Canadian universities will fund and support the appearance of a man like George Galloway while Christie Blatchford gets banned from the University of Waterloo and gets compared to Julius Streicher.”
Term limits for political leaders what a novel idea.

Ontario’s Dalton McGuinty is looking at an election a year from now, for what would be his third term. If he had any brains he wouldn’t run, but he fully intends to. McGuinty was lucky he won a second term — many Ontarians had had their fill of him after just four years, but the divided Tories ran such sorry campaign he was all but handed a freebie. This time isn’t likely to be so easy, and he has little to run on: Ontario’s economy is sputtering and choking like an engine on its last few ounces of gas. His spending record is appalling: record deficit, record debt, almost $10 billion a year in servicing charges. Taxes are up, electricity costs are skyrocketing. So bankrupt is McGuinty of ideas that when Finance Minister Dwight Duncan discovered the deficit would be $1 billion less than forecast, he immediately spent it to subsidize hydro rates.
From the people who brought you the great global warming swindle now comes Britain’s Trillion Pound Horror Story. This is a great documentary explaining how the growth and reliance upon government can hurt your wallet . However the recent austerity cuts by the British government needs to be taken in to consideration when watching this film. part 2 part 3 part 4 part 5

Senator Rockefeller: I hunger for quality news. I’m tired of the right and the left. There’s a little bug inside of me which wants to get the FCC (Federal Communications Committee) to say to Fox and to MSNBC “Out. Off. End. Goodbye.” Would be a big favor to political discourse, our ability to do our work here in Congress and to the American people to be able to talk with each other and have some faith in their government and more importantly in their future. We need slimmed down channel packages that better respect what we really want to watch.
