George Jonas Makes Interesting Intellectual Point on Omar Khadr, Irrelevant in Time of War

In the National Post, George Jonas wrote a column on the fact that confessions from detainees may be true, but are always coerced.  This is an interesting, and well argued point...

...That remains totally irrelevant.

Ontario Violates Constitution and Human Decency in the Name of Fear

I have a lot of stress in my life right now, and so I've been trying to avoid reading the news too much.  Alas, the Ontario Courts have decided that I need a double-dose of outrage to get my day going.  In a recent decision, one of the Appellate Courts decided that a Muslim woman testifying against her accused molesters had the "right" to wear her Niqab while giving testimony.

I cannot even begin to describe my feelings- but I can tell you why this is insane.

Why I vote How I do, and Why my Age Group Drives me Insane

A lovely little article in the globe and mail that I won't bother linking made the same tired argument socialist pollsters have been making since I can remember.  Basically, it looks something like this: Young people don't vote, but when polled they're fashionably "progressive".  The conservatives get practically wiped out, and we have a fun blend of NDP, Liberal, and Bloc voting.

Here's why the whole concept is not only irrelevant, but actually dangerous when applied.
