NO Second Class Citizens – June 26, 2009
When you look not at the goals of the welfare state, but its actual performance, the results are depressing. In the last 80 years we have grown far wealthier than we once were. Yet today, there are more who receive welfare than ever before.
Know a Student who Likes to Think and Needs an Antidote to Canadian Universities? – February 25, 2009

Want to Prevent Propaganda in Schools? – January 1, 2009
Maybe Canadian politicians should copy this legislation from the United Kingdom. The U.K.’s 1996 Education Act, forbids one-sided partisan activity in the school system and/or political indoctrination. This is the Act that a British judge used in 2007 to describe Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth as propaganda and to require British teachers to present the judge’s caveats about errors in Gore’s film to British students.
Are Choices Lacking for Parents in Publicly Funded Schools? – February 1, 2006

The Alberta Teachers' Association responds to our work on Edmonton's public schools – November 16, 2005
