Two-thirds of Canadians support the Order of Canada award to Dr. Henry Morgentaler.So far, three snowflakes have been turned in, two from dead people.I'll be at the Governor-General's residence tomorrow. But the war's over. Time for the so-called "pro-lifers" to campaign for sex ed and contraception if they want to reduce the abortion rate. More useful than writing squibs for the National Post any...

...all the time, day-in-and-day-out, constantly, unceasingly, unstoppably, inexorably, lies without end, amen. "Pro-life" is synonymous with "lying", or might as well be.One of the reasons I love Dr. Dawg is that he gives everyone a chance. At Dawg's Blawg, even the most drooling, slackjawed, spittle-flecked right-wing cretins at least get a chance to make their idiotic cases, and he'll...

One of the problems with being a professional moralizer, an arbiter of all things right and wrong, is that people expect you to model the exemplary life that you demand of others. Deborah Gyapong's explicitly social conservative, Christian site is marked by a goodly share of Grundyish finger-wagging. Now it's my turn to wag right back.I first met Deborah at the Warman v. Lemire hearing in Ottawa this...

I guess a fellow who thinks that homosexuality is a disease to be cured can believe just about anything, but I was a little taken aback, I must admit, to see Rabbi Reuven Bulka's endorsement in today's Ottawa Citizen of Ben Stein's junk-science exploit, Expelled. After all, my own alma mater gave Bulka an honorary degree a while back, based on what the President at the time called his "outstanding...

As Jamie already noted this morning, we are quite sad over the loss of Elijah Dukes for at least four weeks, although likely much longer. But hold fast, playboy, Dukes might have some plans of his own. Let’s compare what the doctors be sayin’ vs. what Dukes is schemin’ on. Bitch ass physicians: [Reds team physician Tim] [...]

You've heard this one before, haven't you? Until recently, no one stood a chance of defending successfully against a Section 13 complaint before a Canadian Human Rights Tribunal. There's been a 100% conviction rate. Everyone dragged, hauled, or otherwise transported to these kangaroo courts, Inquisitions and Star Chambers can be assured that the upshot is never in doubt.But now, the kangaroos are blinking....

Randall Denley of the Ottawa Citizen has a few words to say about Morgentaler's Order of Canada today. So does David Warren, no doubt sending in his column from an undisclosed location. Denley fusses about the loss of "more than two million potential Canadians": Warren, about "three million aborted babies." (In the "pro-life" rhetorical sweepstakes, what's a million')I get a little intellectually twitchy...

"I had to interrupt my internet fast to bring you this important rumour."With luck, this could even surpass the "internet traditions" meme: "The blogosphere: bringing you important rumours."But on to the actual rumour in this case, which the so-cons are all over, many doing their best to appear pious and all: and that rumour is that Dr. Henry Morgentaler has terminal cancer, and two weeks to live.I'm...
