No détente in sight for Stephen Harper and Kathleen Wynne

No détente in sight for Stephen Harper and Kathleen Wynne The prime minister is dealing with an aggressive adversary in Queen’s Park, but he needs to protect his seats in Ontario in next year’s election. The Long War between Stephen Harper and Kathleen Wynne is only going to get longer — and likely more intense. There’s simply too much at stake for both sides for détente, certainly not heading into a federal election campaign and the electoral riches available in this province. The Harper Conservatives remember how Wynne campaigned against them last spring, they know they are dealing with aggressive… View Article

Obama, Harper don’t like each other, and only a new leader can thaw relations

Obama, Harper don’t like each other, and only a new leader can thaw relations Every decade or so, Canada-U.S. relations reach such a parlous state that nothing good can happen until someone pushes the reset button. We’re at that state. Within a year or two, a new prime minister and/or a new president will sweep away the irritants that are gumming up the works between the two countries. Until that happens, things will remain seriously gummed. This rhythm of irritation, freeze and renewal is cyclical. We happen to be at the low ebb of the cycle. The most optimistic word… View Article

Justin Trudeau’s island of Liberal castaways

Justin Trudeau’s island of Liberal castaways: Delacourt Federal Liberal leader Justin Trudeau has demonstrated that it’s highly perilous to get on his wrong side. By now, it should be clear that it’s perilous to get on the wrong side of Justin Trudeau, at least for members of the Liberal leader’s own party. Suspended MPs Scott Andrews and Massimo Pacetti, at the centre of the still-murky harassment case on Parliament Hill, are only the latest Liberals to be sent to Trudeau’s island of castaways. In the past year, in fact, that island’s population has grown exponentially. A list of the most… View Article

Obama has become ‘Monty Python routine’

Obama has become ‘Monty Python routine’ Defiant president has ‘lost both arms and both legs politically’ With Obama determined to issue his long-expected executive order on immigration, the White House fails to appreciate the damage his failed policies continue to inflict on a Democratic Party still reeling from historic midterm losses, according to a Republican congressman. “It reminds me of the Monty Python routine, ‘The Black Knight,’ who gets his arm chopped off by King Arthur in a sword fight and yet says defiantly, “‘Tis but a scratch,’ and keeps on fighting,” Rep. Steve Stockman, R-Texas, told WND in an… View Article

‘Rogue President’ Says ‘To Hell With Constitution’

Pat Buchanan: ‘Rogue President’ Says ‘To Hell With Constitution’ The United States has a “rogue president” who has decided he is going to do what he wants to do and “to hell with the Constitution,” columnist Pat Buchanan, former adviser to Presidents Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon, told Newsmax TV Thursday. “We have a rogue president who tonight is going to announce that he is going to do something he said not so long ago, one year ago, he does not have the legal or constitutional authority to do,” Buchanan told “America’s Forum” host J.D. Hayworth. This is being done… View Article

US brands Kim Dotcom ‘fugitive of justice’ for refusing to extradite himself

US brands Kim Dotcom ‘fugitive of justice’ for refusing to extradite himself The Department of Justice has now branded Kim Dotcom and his former colleagues at the defunct file-sharing site Megaupload “fugitive[s] of justice” for refusing to travel to the United States where they face charges related to the website. In paperwork filed this week, federal prosecutors for the DOJ’s Eastern District of Virginia division argue that Dotcom and his co-defendants do not have standing to challenge a complaint calling for them to forfeit their assets because their unwillingness to voluntarily enter the US has, according to government attorneys, rendered… View Article

Arpaio takes Obama’s executive order to court

Arpaio takes Obama’s executive order to court ‘This unconstitutional act … will have a serious detrimental impact’ Less than two hours after Barack Obama announced a solo move to protect millions of illegal aliens from deportation, Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio took him to court to have the Constitution upheld. A lawsuit filed by attorney Larry Klayman of Freedom Watch named Obama and Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, Immigration Services chief Leon Rodriquez and Attorney General Eric Holder as defendants in an action that seeks to avoid “irreversible harm” from Obama’s actions because they will “encourage[e] more illegal aliens to… View Article

No Mention of ‘Constitution’ in Obama’s Amnesty Speech

No Mention of ‘Constitution’ in Obama’s Amnesty Speech In declaring his executive amnesty on Thursday evening, President Barack Obama did not use the word “Constitution” once. He cited the supposed precedent of previous executive orders by earlier presidents, and he spoke about law enforcement, but he never once showed how the actions he proposed to take are constitutional. Instead, he reiterated his insistence that Congress had failed to act–and invited it to pass a bill he would sign. Update: While ignoring the Constitution, Obama referred to himself some 31 times. The full transcript appears here. Senior Editor-at-Large Joel B. Pollak… View Article

Passport fees a cash cow for government

Passport fees a cash cow for government A hike in passport fees has become a cash cow for the federal government. Recently released figures show the government took in $200 million more than it cost them to produce passports last year. The cost for a five-year passport increased to $120 from $87 last year, while a new 10-year passport was introduced at a cost of $160. The government said without the increases, Passport Canada wouldn’t have been able to maintain operations or offer security-enhanced documents. A spokesperson for the agency says the surplus doesn’t mean fees will go down. The… View Article
