  • Can’t We Talk Politely About Climate Change?
    The House of Commons bans certain terms as “unparliamentary speech”. It’s time we all stopped using certain phrases in our own debates. The current Minister of the Environment has referred to some of her opponents as “climate change deniers”, a nasty and dishonest charge.

  • Are We Ready for Driverless Cars?
    The age of driverless automobiles is almost upon us. Most of the world’s car makers are working on prototypes and it is expected that by 2030 the autonomous vehicle market in the US alone will be worth approximately $87 billion. How will Canada deal with this innovation.

  • Is Manitoba Ready for Diamonds?
    Last year, a geological survey made a promising discovery of diamonds in northern Manitoba. The province should move quickly to enhance the potential for revenue by involving industry partners, First Nations and municipalities in the region.
    Other areas have fumbled the opportunity such a mine would bring to economic development – the De Beers find in Ontario came to no good end when talks with the Attawapiskat First Nation broke down.

  • Is There Bias in Canada’s New Media?
    Is there really bias in the news and public affairs media? Well, yes.
    Not only is there no objectivity in the news, but most of the bias is left-leaning. If you hold a dissenting view on gay marriage, climate change, or abortion, you will search the media in vain for your side of the debate.

  • Then they Came for the Teachers
    “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” (Martin Luther King, Jr.)
    That white, female teachers make up the bulk of the K-12 teaching force in Canada, including some 80 percent in the Province of Manitoba, should not surprise anyone. For a variety of well-known reasons, women have long been attracted to teaching.
