Canada remains alienated from its allies, shut out of the reconstruction process to some degree, unable to influence events. There is no upside to the position Canada took.

Canada receives the news of the death of Osama Bin Laden with sober satisfaction. Sadly, others will take his place.

I do not intend to dispute in any way the need for defence cuts and the need for government spending cuts in general. I do not share a not in my backyard approach to government spending reductions.

Canada is a vast and empty country.

I don't believe an Alliance government should sponsor legislation on abortion or a referendum on abortion.

The government can only be brought down because it alienates several parties in the House.

Redirect federal spending aimed at fulfilling the terms of the increasingly irrelevant Kyoto Protocol.
