There is a tough gal on the web who blogs. She is the blonde conservative.
I stumbled upon her blog by accident while perusing my daily array of conservative
blogs. If I remember correctly, it was probably on Stephen Taylor's blog that I came
across her link.
She is taking the fight against Carleton University Student Association's (CUSA) decision to rescind the funding and status of pro-life groups on campus. CUSA alleges that the groups
which they have taken action against are throwing plastic fetuses at students and hurling
militant epithets. And strangely, none of the NDP or Liberal people on campus are talking
about it and this has not made any news.
The natural conclusion I have is that this is an excuse to outlaw the pro-life voice at Carleton.
What further convinces me of this fact is that CUSA is CFS affiliated. The CFS is a group that in addition to fighting to reduce tuition, has a wide-reaching agenda. This agenda includes changing Valentine's Day to "Pink Triangle Day" as it is more inclusive to non-heterosexual couples. It is also aggresively anti-Israel and pro-choice. I don't mind an aggresive pro-choice, but not to the way that you completely stifle the other side.

Back to writing
Hi there,
I haven't written anything since my last post in Israel. I feel kinda bad about it and promise to be more prudent from now on. I am quite addicted to this blogging thing. Everyday I read a few blogs. The bloggers whom I read include: Warren Kinsella, Adam Daifallah (whom I know from UTPCA days) and Stephen Taylor. I also want to give props to Andrew Coyne's blog. Andrew is my favourite writer at the National Post.
Lots has happened since Israel. Chava and I appear to be going strong. I joined the Facebook world and posted trip photos there. Finished another CGA credit along the way.
Also got into the habit of writing. I interviewed 17-year old singing sensation Liel Kollet and wrote about it. She came to Toronto to sing on behalf of Save a Child's Heart, an organization that I have much respect for. My article was the cover story in the latest issue of Afterword. This is a magazine written by and for young Jews in Canada. Check it out. I hope it will go places.
The latest big issue appears to be Stephane Dion's dual citizenship. Some people hate the fact that he holds French citizenship. Dion says it's out of loyalty to his mother who was French. I personally do not see much into it but I can see how people can let ignorance dictate how they feel about this issue. I can only imagine if I had run for Prime Minister with the fact that I have Israeli citizenship and a passport. I would be accused of trying to orchestrate an Israeli takeover of Canada. Get real.
I love this country. I try to learn as much as I can about the different regional and societal cleavages. My hope is that we will find as much common ground as possible so we will not break up this country. I have taken out party memberships and will continue to do so. I know I care about Israel and had I been handed the trust of the Canadian people, I would adopt a pro-Israel tone. However, I will always be mindful of who gave me the trust to govern.
But it is my belief that being born where I was, I will never get the chance to be Prime Minister of Canada. Not unless many people change their attitudes. It begins by cutting Mr. Dion some slack for his dual citizenship. This is the only time I will be cutting him any.
