Just some of the great reads presented here at ProudToBeCanadian over the past few days.
Barbara Kay’s column today is, well, sure to rankle feminists. I like that. And I wanted to mention that yes I did make a mistake—I originally credited John Stossel’s column to Joseph Ben-Ami. Fixed!
Read all of these—they’re great!

TORONTO – If you live in Toronto, you may have noticed the Bathurst Street billboards sponsored by Jewish Women International Canada (JWIC). They all display the same emotive ad, featuring a shame-suffused, Jewish-looking woman, submissively tilting her face to offer a brutalized eye to the public gaze. The caption reads: “There is a Jewish woman you know being abused.”
Community response has so far been equivocal, but muted. Now imagine public reaction to an…

Religious Fanatics Terrorize American Farmers
Media coverage of environmental regulators makes them look like dispassionate scientists. But too often they are dangerous religious fanatics.
Years ago, when ranchers and farmers told me that our government’s environmental regulatory agencies had been captured by fanatics so hostile to the idea of private property that they’d use the endangered-species law to drive just about every landowner off his land, I thought they were overwrought. Then I learned the story of the lynx.…

If Harper can’t turn it around there’s little hope for Canada
I asked author and commentator Mark Milke whether he believes Canada is truly a dysfunctional nation.
The question followed a reading of his compelling new book A Nation of Serfs: How Canada’s Political Culture Corrupts Canadian Values (Wiley, $22.99) and a chat in which he repeatedly used the word “absurd” to describe much of our nation’s political, economic and social culture.…

Why CUPE’s boycott is shameful
A message to all CUPE members. Your Ontario region has passed an anti-Israel motion that has made your union internationally notorious. It is so extreme, shrill and one-sided that CUPE is now more opposed to Israel than Fatah, President Mahmoud Abbas and several Arab governments.
The vote was held on a Saturday, the Jewish Sabbath, and thus no observant Jew could even be present.
If they had been there they might have…

Do dads make a difference?
Judging by the way they’re often depicted in pop culture, the answer would seem to be no. From the big screen to the small screen, from books to advertisements, fathers are mostly bumblers, abusers or dullards.
When they’re around at all, that is: Many a plot revolves around deadbeat dads who are they’re simply gone, and no one seems the worst for it. As a recent article…

The 2005-2006 academic year was, by far, the best I’ve had since moving to the front lines of the campus cultural wars. Several First Amendment victories were won this year by simply threatening federal litigation. Others are in the process of being litigated with prospects looking good.
On the heels of these positive developments, I have but one thing in mind: I want to turn up the heat further on these sorry bastards. (Author’s…

Michael Berg and the Twisted Values of the Greens and Pacifism
Apparently, being the parent of a child murdered by a Muslim terrorist gives one moral credibility. There is no other way to explain the vast attention paid to the ideas of Michael Berg, father of Nick Berg, the American who was slaughtered by the Islamic sadist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. That is also the only explanation for the all the attention Cindy Sheehan has received. It is not because of the intellectual and moral depth of her…
