Kenney, Faux Defender of Human RightsReuel S. Amdur
April 6, 2012
In his recent condemnation of Israeli Apartheid Week (IAW), Jason Kenney, Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism, charged that IAW organizers had misplaced priorities.
Drummond and the Ontario BudgetReuel S. Amdur
April 6, 2012
There is a disconnect between the Drummond Report which the Liberals requested and the Ontario budget which has just been brought down, and in many ways that is a good thing.
Ultrasounds and PregnancyReuel S. Amdur
April 19, 2012
Dr. Rajendra Kale, who recently ended his position as interim editor of the Canadian Medical Association Journal, has gone out with a bang. He wrote an editorial urging that women should not be told the sex of a fetus before 30 weeks into pregnancy. This policy was proposed to avoid women choosing to abort a female fetus, as abortion after 30 weeks is much trickier.
Fantino Hanky-Panky?Reuel S. Amdur
May 22, 2012
Ma Bell, controlling much of Ottawa's English-language broadcast universe, got rid of Michael Harris, its one non-ultra-right talk show host, but fortunately he has managed to resurface. He has had recent posts on iPolitics, taking aim at Harperites in general and Associate Defence Minister Julian Fantino in particular.
Students Strike: Who's Listening?Reuel S. Amdur
May 22, 2012
The biggest news in Quebec right now-if not in Canada-is the student strike against plans to raise the tuition fees. The strike: 11 weeks and counting.
What's Wrong with the Registered Disability Savings Plan?Reuel S. Amdur
May 22, 2012

Ontario health care under the scalpelReuel S. Amdur
June 18, 2012
"Premier McGuinty's fight with the doctors is a master stroke. It takes the spotlight off what is being done to health care in the budget."
McGuinty is worse than HarrisReuel S. Amdur
July 19, 2012
Can you believe it? Dalton McGuinty is actually worse than Mike Harris. Harris cut Ontario Works (OW) social assistance rates by 21.6%, while leaving disability rates (ODSP) alone. Since then, there have been percentage increases in OW and ODSP for, but less than, increases in cost of living. The percentage has been the same for both. That means that the gap between the rates for the two is constantly increasing. It is no longer correct to refer to the 21.6% cut in Ontario Works as a misdeed to put on Mike Harris' shoulders. It has by now become McGuinty's baby.
Rae Bows OutReuel S. Amdur
July 19, 2012
Bob Stanfield has been called the greatest prime minister Canada never had. Some are now wanting to put Bob Rae's name into competition for the title. Well, maybe, maybe not. The impulse for hagiography comes from Rae's declaration that he will not be a candidate for the leadership of the Liberal Party, of which he is now interim leader. But what is his legacy? There is little question that he is one of the best, if not the best, orator in Parliament.
Quebec students march againReuel S. Amdur
July 27, 2012
Quebec's student strike is serving as an inspiration for university students elsewhere as well. Ottawa university students are wearing the red square, marching, and getting arrested, even if at the moment the Ontario echo is, to mix metaphors, but a trickle.
