Re: Ontario: Happy Family Day, suckers
I don’t know how many people are aware of the fact that the government has given this holiday out to Provincial employees when most weren’t actually entitled to it in the first place. In the Employment Standards Act it sets out 9 statutory holidays (including Family Day) and sets […]

He is forcing an election to be called. Canada’s mission needs to be extended til 2011.
Much work needs to be done.
Why won’t Dion listen to what NATO and the leaders of Afghanistan have to say.

RE “A war on two fronts.” (Feb 7):
