Book of the Month March 2006

The Pursuit of Division: Race, Gender, and Preferential Hiring in Canada by Martin Loney.
This is an excellent book of how liberals try to create a perfectionist society while everyone is left in the dust, including those that liberals try to help. This book explains how programs to correct discrimination practices only create more discrimination. While programs are made to force hiring minorities not because of talent affect the integrety of the workforce as well as the stereotype of these minorities. Instead of being given an opportunity to prove their talents, liberals keep minorities from proving themselves by hiring them as a disadvantaged group and telling the rest of society that this in the end will benefit them. Loney does an excellent job exposing the grand liberal farce of equality and proving that this only creates more divisions between minorities and opportunity. If you have been following the Book of the Month series, this is another excellent book that should be read by all to show how liberal governments disadvantage and oppress minoities and paint it as equality for all. This is truly one of the greatests books in the series.

Canada February Inflation Rate Slows

What is the Worry?
This article is trying to strike terror into the hearts of Canadians by how inflation is slowing down and how the economic apocalypse is going to strike down on Canada. Even the title seems evident of this. If you read the article closer, there is more then meets the eye. The second sentence, which most people do not read in news articles, state that the price has fluctuated due to petroleum prices, a volatile good that is not used to measure the base inflation amount. This is even revealed in the article by Doug Porter, deputy chief economist at BMO Nesbitt Burns, if you ever read it that far. It is also stated that "core inflation came in exactly as expected at 1.7 percent". This is short for the average 2% that is the target for the Bank of Canada. This could also be attributed to the five straight interest hikes, or maybe even seven. Who really knows and keeps track? These rates are too high and should be brought lower but headline grabbers like this one and news convoluted in other news make it make policy makers too cautious for the good of the country. How can growth be achieved if these rates continue to increase? If the media can not even keep track of where the rates are, then how can policy makers do the same? What is there to worry? Canada is in no danger, rather has space for economic expansion and growth. These interest rates are too constricting on the Canadian market and it seems that no one cares about this vital part of Canadian policy. Keep in mind the next time you pay off your credit card bill or loan and think about how the Bank of Canada is giving you the shaft due to liberal policy making and media.

Troops Push into Taliban Area

God Bless Them All!
This is the first time I can remember in a long time that the Canadian Armed Forces were in the media so much. This can also be attributed to the recent and unfortunate death of Corporal Paul Davis. The end of the article also lists the other tragic deaths that recently occured in Afghanistan. Every mission is dangerous, ask any police oficer, especially in the Toronto area, but this current mission that our Amed Forces will be encountering will be extremly dangerous. This will be, as the article states, the "insurgent heartland of southern Afghanistan". This new exposure also covers Gen. Rick Hillier's experience in the Afghan terrain. This exposure is just what Canada needs to see. That our good soldiers are helping developing democracies and are taking an active role instead of a passive one portrayed by the media in the past. No more stories about cutting defence budgets but rather showing how vital our services really are. I am glad that the media has taken this sudden change of heart and hope that it will last more then the flavour of the month. God bless all of your men and women overseas and keep them safe! We are all thinking about you, even the liberal media!
