Yes and most every year a left-wing party is in power. Twenty five years is more than long enough for history to repeat itself. Just looks at your jeans. So one of the fun things about having a website running for twenty five years is that you can easily go […]

Tried — hard — but failed, here at PTBC, for twenty-five years. I thought with a more conservative-oriented political climate, a Canada truly strong and free might emerge (re-emerge?) and show an obvious path upward in the world. The opposite has happened. Canada has declined and continues to decline in myriad […]

This site started way before most other sites, or even blogs (Facebook wasn’t even a figment in Mark Zuckerberg’s puberty-addled imagination yet). So there wasn’t much of a template to go by. […]

I’ll try to say something. We need to say *something* about this.

I hate to be apocalyptic or catastrophize things unnecessarily — especially in the current political environment where each side can be massively overdramatic. I’m prone to be so too. But this is not that. This is more objective. Sometimes sounding a great alarm is warranted. Fire […]

Most everything. Progressive means progressive. Bagels are a Jewish staple, but in this one instance, I don’t think it’s because the progressives are antisemitic. I think it’s merely because they’re loons. Of course they could be both. If it’s fun, useful, or productive, the progressives will force you to license it, register it, […]

I can’t let this go [Narrator: you always have to have the last word] without correcting the state-owned CBC: They aren’t mere “homeless” encampments, as much as they are encampments of drug addicts (with little or no serious treatment options), the mental health afflicted (also untreated), and victims of […]
