In the U.S. and across the world, they’re pushing pro-death laws supporting abortion and euthanasia.
They seem to feel a strange kind of joy in anything concerning death. Often, the only thing that sets pro-death laws apart from serial killers is that the former claim to be for your benefit. In the end, not many killers claim they are killing you for your own benefit, to help you lead a better life or to protect your freedom.

You may think we have a vaccination crisis in this country. And if you’re not a paid or volunteer Liberal flak you may think it’s about health not PR. But it’s really a crisis of government competence. The reason they can’t vaccinate is they can’t do much of anything.
For instance buy sidearms or ships for the armed forces. Get guns away from criminals or tell criminals from law-abiding citizens. Decide when to lock us down or explain why. Deliver a budget or explain why they haven’t. Balance the books. Fix health wait lists. Maintain infrastructure. Be transparent.
Give the green shirts long enough and they will reveal their true intentions.

According to a recent poll by a group called Canadians for Clean Prosperity, the Conservative Party should reconsider its opposition to carbon taxes.
There is, indeed, a strong textbook case to be made for taxes on conventional pollution and carbon emissions — that if factories dirty the environment by emitting smoke, factory owners should pay taxes to compensate society for the pollution. In theory, we can apply the same idea to carbon emissions, which contribute to climate change.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced plans today for the federal government to spend an additional $14.9 billion over the next eight years on public transportation projects across the country.
The funding includes $5.9 billion in short-term funding that will be disbursed on a project-by-project basis, starting this year.
