		<title>Two minutes of politics, February 6</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I told you last Monday that was relieved to hear that the jury in the Shafia trial had found the accused guilty of first degree murder. Finally, I thought, we might be headed towards a clearer kind of political discourse about the problem of honour killings. Anyone now trying to claim they aren’t happening in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;CBC/Radio-Canada is Canada&#8217;s national public broadcaster and one of this country&#8217;s largest cultural institutions.&#8221; Says so right there on their website. CBC/Radio-Canada is also a state-funded provider of smut. CBC boasts that it brings us &#8220;diverse regional and cultural perspectives&#8221; in English, French, and a whole bunch of aboriginal languages. It also brings us soft-core [...]]]></description>

		<title>Oh please</title>
		<description><![CDATA[OTTAWA &#8211; A Conservative senator is in hot water for saying Wednesday that murderers should be given a rope in their cell in case they want to hang themselves. Senator Pierre-Hugues Boisvenu, who sits on the Senate legal committee, made the controversial comments while talking to reporters before the Conservative caucusmeeting. &#8220;I think of (Clifford) [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ve been through a few ups and downs, but with last night&#8217;s landslide victory it looks like that Mitt Romney is back on track to win the Republican nomination. And I&#8217;m extremely meh about it, for two main reasons. First, I wish we would, just once, have an amazing candidate running. Someone who&#8217;s both conservative [...]]]></description>

		<title>An excellent point about retirement age</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My friend Jason Clemens has an oped, here, about the current Old Age Security hoopla. The whole thing is worth reading, but here&#8217;s the point that really got my attention. The rumoured change in OAS is that the age of eligibility will be increased to 67 over an extended time period, perhaps ten years. This [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[To hear Opposition politicians, you&#8217;d think the sky was falling. Imagine &#8211; those awful mean nasty heartless Conservatives want to slash granny&#8217;s pension! They probably want to make her eat cat food, too! This must be stopped! &#8220;This&#8221;, by the way, refers to changes the government wants to make to Old Age Security to make [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Don&#8217;t know about you. But I was relieved to hear that the jury had found the accused in the Shafia honour killing case guilty. Of course they&#8217;re guilty. We&#8217;ve known this since June 2009, when the car was first fished out of the lock. Four Muslim females accidentally drowning, in the middle of the night? [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are a number of things in President Obama&#8217;s state of the union address on Tuesday night that annoyed me. Not surprising, seeing as I&#8217;m not exactly keen on Marxist politicians, and I’m not wild about “economic equality”, which the president called the defining issue of our time. If the American people give him the [...]]]></description>
