Popular belief is that politicians don’t keep their word. And I suppose that has often been the case.

The CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) continues to bite the hands that feed it and to take unfair advantage of the arms-length relationships it has through involuntary taxpayer contributions to the public trough at which it feeds.

Have you ever noticed the eyes watching you on the internet? You take a look at a cottage for sale and all of sudden you’re inundated with real estate ads. You purchase something on the internet and suddenly similar products keep showing up in your inbox. This is not a chance occurrence. You are being watched!

Much has been written and said about the blasphemous opening ceremonies of the Paris Olympics. The mockery of the Last Supper by lesbians, homosexuals and an assortment of other confused individuals was an unbelievable display of crudeness, arrogance and in-your-face rebellion against every last vestige of decency and respect for the foundations of human civilization.
