He Speaketh

You can’t ever get enough of Mark Steyn - here’s his latest interview with a fellower worshipper.

Once again, I was fortunate enough to have an opportunity to interview the man I consider to be the best columnist in the business, Mark Steyn.

With leaders like this

Due to inept central planning and eco-terrorism on our coal generators,

our province is once again on its electrical knees.

In an outstandingly foolish flourish of “leadership”, our Premier is going to do his part and not fix his personal air conditioner.

Shouldn’t the Premier be reassuring us that he’s working to solve the hydro strike, or maybe even working to fix the system that under-supplies our growing system?

Dalton is the antithesis of leadership.

Brought to you by the Cocoa Council, I’m sure.

Days are numbered

Dead tree editions of news have a tough road ahead of them in the brave new digital world.

What looms now “is different from all other threats,” says Lauren Rich Fine (no relation), a Merrill Lynch & Co. (MER ) analyst who has covered the industry since the 1980s. Consumers are shifting decisively to online information, says Fine, especially the young, and are no longer yoked to the local newspaper.

Your monopoly at work

Closing coal plants without replacements, allowing picketers to block critical workers, holding a monopoly on power production all add up to potential chaos.

The IESO warned Ontarians that if all sources of supply are exhausted, “the IESO will take protective actions such as a system voltage reduction, or rotating cuts to supply. In these circumstances, no additional public notice may be possible.”

The sooner we start decentralizing power production, the better off we’ll all be.  Of course, this isn’t the stuff Canadians or Liberals believe in, so join the line and enjoy the rationing.

Can’t come soon enough

As you all know, I am a big Toyota fan, as apparently are most new car owners today in Ontario.

Here’s why:

Byron Sigel, a Michigan man who lives in Tokyo and drives an Estima Hybrid minivan, calls it “The best car I’ve ever owned.” Sigel says the minivan “seats eight, gets great gas mileage, good acceleration, is comfortable and has good storage. It is also very reliable.”

Not sure I can hold out for two more years, what with $60 oil.

Extraordinary talk

This is not your ordinary Mom giving the regular birds and bees talk.

Here’s the place to begin. Every time you make love, you could be making your first-born child.

Frank talk you don’t hear much about.

A Cautionary Tale

“The Middle Way” is rapidly collapsing in the socialist utopia called Sweden.

Limousine liberals and multi-cult freaks in Canada, take note.

An ideal candidate

It’s been a while since we’ve had a Darwin candidate.

An 82-year-old man was “determined” and “bullheaded” last week when he tried to use a household vacuum cleaner to siphon gas from his car while the engine was still running, family members said. But he wasn’t senile.

Depraved subject and reporters

Depravity hits a new low in this story, not only for the facts but because the report seems more worried about a dog than a 3 year old human being.

A Campobello teen is accused of raping one neighbor’s dog and another neighbor’s two little girls. Now the dog has died and charges against the teen have been upgraded.

Warren likes Steve

Warren may be a Liberal, but he still has a good sense of what (Ontario) voters want.  Here’s some advice for Mr. Harper.

Well, because it matters. Because it provided a revealing glimpse into Stephen Harper’s character. Because it suggested to my family and me—die-hard Alberta Liberals, which is about as die-hard as a Liberal can get—that Stephen Harper was, at the end of the day, a nice person.

No kidding

More obvious news…
