Clear Conservative Thought

Not waiting for the outrage…

Jordan Alcock — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 13:30:00 +0000

CTV reporting that A warning was issued last month about the safety concerns about “on-demand” flights. The report criticized the Federal Aviation Administration for lack of oversight. Is Babbitt asleep at the helm? No. Unlike some counter-parts on the left, you won’t find this blogger screaming that Obama failed to protect citizens (Katrina anyone). Frankly, accidents happen. When [...]

Those Dangerous right-wingers

Jordan Alcock — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 11:32:02 +0000

The day of reckoning is truly upon us if you listen to one deranged Canadian left-wing blogger. The big bad republican machine is turning mild-mannered conservatives into frothing-at-the mouth activists. Is that the new strategy on the fringe left, take all talking points from Janet Napolitano? Of course, the only way to make your point is to vilify [...]

When desperation kicks in…

The Global Warming loons decide to bring in the psychologists, just to see what is wrong with those of us who are skeptics. “People are worried about this; they’re afraid of it. And how do people deal with fear? Some people deal with fear by denying it. Some people deal with fear by engaging, doing social [...]

The Health Care Debate that we never had…

Jordan Alcock — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 01:17:29 +0000

The Americans are having it right now. Much to the dismay of many Canadians, the Americans are pointing out the very problems with our system that we discussed in the past 3 elections. It is always interesting to watch the self-righteous Canadian attitude toward Americans when they dare point out the various flaws in our system. Of [...]

Ministers finally discussing Pensions…

Jordan Alcock — Sun, 02 Aug 2009 17:35:08 +0000

The provincial finance ministers started a round of talks over the depressing outlook for pensions in Canada… and its about time they did. Of course, when you have politicians talking about infusing cash into a pension system that is only going to become increasingly strained by the aging baby boomers, this conservative gets just a little bit concerned. In [...]

Middle of a global economic recession…

Jordan Alcock — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 12:01:20 +0000

And the EU decides to ban the sale of Seal products. There was seriously nothing better to do? Perhaps that is why today Canadians can be proud of our economic recovery so far. . . while it seems our politicians often waste a great deal of time (and money), it is quite easy to see that [...]

Too good to pass up…

Happy Canada Day.

Can we get one thing straight?

Jordan Alcock — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 11:32:07 +0000

A large portion of Iranians have been fighting with the ruling government after their latest election, where the outcome was rather suspicious. They have been clashing with police and military officials, and some have suggested it might turn into an all-out revolution. If you didn’t know about this, you’ve been living under a rock or [...]

OHRC: Don’t scrap it, reform it.

Jordan Alcock — Sat, 20 Jun 2009 14:31:56 +0000

The PCPO leadership race has been full of calls to scrap the Ontario Human Rights Commission, much to the dismay of many Ontarians. The issue promises to be a repeat of the horrible faith-based-school policy promoted by John Tory in the last provincial election. Widely unpopular with voters, the policy is credited by many (myself [...]

How Christine Elliott’s team lost her a chance at getting my vote.

Jordan Alcock — Sat, 20 Jun 2009 11:50:08 +0000

I recently posted about a rumour that I had been told about regarding a fundraiser and one of the PCPO leadership campaigns. Although I am pretty sure everyone knew who I was talking about I didn’t feel the need to name any names on the matter, particularly given the nature of the story. I will [...]

The “outing”…

Jordan Alcock — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 23:09:29 +0000

It would seem the BFD(Big F’in Deal) this week is the “outing” of long-time blogging rival Canadian Cynic. Well, the world knows who the mastermind of treachery is. Big deal. I hope everyone is mature enough to behave themselves, and remember the ideals of freedom of speech. I might not like what he has written, but he [...]

The PCPO plot thickens?

Jordan Alcock — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 05:13:16 +0000

Still in the process of investigating this one… but word is that a certain PCPO Candidate’s relative might be considering playing fast and loose with Canadian taxpayer dollars. An allegation that if true could be a blatant and disgusting move to circumvent election laws, and could be a serious misapplication of taxpayer dollars. The alleged relative [...]

Hey Rogers!

This is how I feel about your 95 gig limit… Best $25.00 I ever spent.

The Good and the Bad of the PCPO Leadership race.

Jordan Alcock — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 01:42:14 +0000

As a casual observer of the PCPO race, and a newly minted “member” of the party (I was holding out for Harris to leave) I have been in a good position to receive loads of updates from the various campaigns. Perhaps this blog has something to do with a lot of the attention directed toward [...]

As expected… Another OC Transpo rate hike

Jordan Alcock — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 11:42:51 +0000

After an untimely(for consumers) winter strike that left Ottawans stranded, OC Transpo is announcing that they will be hiking the rates once again this year. This makes yet another rate hike in so many years. Now, we were all expecting this. With the massive cost of the strike and subsequent costs due to union [...]
