Here’s some of the great columns you might be missing from some of the members of our great columnist team! They’re all in the Columnist section.
Here’s a snippet from Rebecca Hagelin’s column—but naturally read the whole thing in the Columnist section!:
A few years ago the mantra was, “It’s quality time, not quantity time, that counts.” WRONG! Kids need a good dose of both from their parents. If we think we can spend one great hour a day with our kids and counteract the negative garbage they’re getting from the culture “24/7,” we’re fooling ourselves. Drop the senseless activities that take everyone’s time and leave your family stressed out and exhausted. Spend more time talking to your kids and less time watching TV. The Heritage Foundation reviewed stats on the tremendous impact that even the simple act of having family meals has on our kids and found that teenagers who eat dinner with their families only two nights a week or less are more than twice as likely to smoke, drink or use illegal drugs than teens who have frequent family dinners.

Susan Martinuk is back with us with a fiery column (appeared in the National Post as a special) about the lackadaisical attitudes of the federal and provincial Liberals in dealing with the Port of Vancouver labor trouble.
[…] Consequently, eight trucks that had dared to cross the dispute line were later sprayed with bullets from an automatic weapon, resulting in $150,000 damage. Security personnel were held at gunpoint while goons vandalized vehicles. A brick was tossed through a bedroom window belonging to the son of a trucker who’d crossed the line; other truckers who went to work faced blockades.
Reportedly, some of the violence took place while police officers observed … and did nothing. Why? […]
Lydia Lovric weighs in on the little kids dressing like young
liberals
prositutues (my words) problem which I also addressed in a recent blog entry. Lydia takes a more measured tone of course.
It isn’t often that a good idea emanates from Quebec, let alone from the Liberals. But in a shocking display of common sense, members of the Quebec Liberal party’s youth wing are recommending a government-imposed dress code for students. […]
Mike Adams is onto Part IV of his unknown-how-many parts of his series called “Life and how to live it”.
One afternoon in the summer of 1989, I was sitting in my living room playing my 12-string Yamaha guitar. I was learning a few songs from the latest James Taylor album. About that time, my roommate Harry Wilson came walking in the apartment with his tennis doubles partner Shannon Ruscoe. I had no idea that the course of my life would completely change that afternoon. […]
Meanwhile Anthony Oluwatoyin talks sense.
Slick Svend, as much a master of dexterity with jewellery as with a joint, is the freshly signed swashbuckling hero out to save pothead Marc Emery from extradition and a new appointment as Bad Bubba’s bunkmate stateside.
In a recent, disgraceful Province op-ed, the disgraced former MP, baits our leaders to rob Uncle Sam to placate potheads. And Shameless Svend knows about robbing. Beyond that he lacks even an ounce of logic. […]
Cinnamon Stillwell co-authored a column about the biased coverage the liberal media offers regarding the young former Israeli military man who went berserk and shot-up a bus full of innocent people.
Israeli and world media were aghast last week at a shooting that took place aboard the Egged Haifa-Shfaram bus No. 165. In a region known for acts of terrorism, yet another bus shooting or bombing normally wouldn’t come as much surprise. But there was something different about this incident. Instead of the ubiquitous attacks by Arabs against Israelis, this time the roles were reversed. […]
Paul Jackson adds his good sense (along with a good swift kick in the backside) to the Liberals who continue to appoint liberals to important posts—his resolute campaign promise to stop all those patronage appointments notwithstanding.
[…] To my mind a pertinent “defining characteristic” of the soon-to-be Her Excellency is her documentary celebrating the 40-year rule of Cuban Communist dictator Fidel Castro.
This piece of propaganda, unlikely ever to be shown on The History Channel, gilded over Castro’s forced labour camps, his absolute censorship of the news media, and that average Cubans have to beg Aspirins from tourists because no dilapidated drug store can provide them.
OK, OK—I know we are to show utter respect, even stand in awe, over this appointment, but remember she will soon be, amongst other things, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces. […]
