Purpose of this Blog
Just recently, I've become very interested in Canadian politics and particularly the phenomenon of blogging. This blog is intended to record my own thoughts on the issues and perhaps contribute to the debate from a libertarian (neither strictly left nor right) political perspective.
I am currently a Canadian undergraduate studying economics at the University of Chicago. I was born in Toronto.
My particular passions include economics, global military policy, and the environment. I am also an avid sailor.

Canada's healthcare system is 30th in the world in terms of outcomes, while we spend the 3rd most as a proportion of our GDP.
Maybe instead we should just make it the best in the world like our education system, which costs less than the American model and combines a healthy private system with a public one.
"Canada sounds like a terrible place, perhaps you should leave and go somewhere better."
That's a good idea - cribbed from the Soviet Union.
Typically Liberal ideology: If you don't like something, you should shut up, take your marbles elsewhere and leave. Only government knows best, stupid peons should pay their taxes to support gun registry boondoggles, corruption rings, importing Romanian strippers into our country, and paying for Lie-bral pizzas.
Or you can vote NDP, watch your taxes increase, and live in Sask. or Manitoba and watch homicide rates break out the party favors and watch as money gets thrown in either greater quantities to the altar of 'universal' healthcare - a system in which only your doctor's privileged contacts and acquantinces can actually go see a specialist.
That's not the Canada my forefathers died on the battlefields on Pascchendaele, Normandy, and Vimy to defend.
Never mind that I pay thousands of dollars in taxes to Lie-bral governments over the years, I have no right to criticize their conduct, make changes, or chide them for the fact that because of their actions - my grandmother is dying on a waiting list in this country and that I have to pay $5,000 to send her to the States to get treatment when I'd rather be by her side in Canada.
Incompetence = Liberal Policy
= Corruption = Murder
That's the difference between Conservatives and Lie-bral/NDP.
Incompetence, corruption and murdering old people on wait lists do not belong in my Canada.
So, don't you dare to tell me to take my marbles and to leave the country I was born in, that I helped found, that generations of my ancestors have fought and died for simply you believe old people should die on waiting lists.
If being Canadian = supporting Liberal incompetence, corruption and wait lists so long that my relatives will almost surely die, then is there anything good anymore about being Canadian?
Yes, there is. It's called hope. I believe that hope can make a difference, that hope will drive away the evil that exists in this world, drive away the fear, the pain, the suffering, the darkness, the hatred and the intolerance that the Lie-brals have inflicted on this country since the days of True-dope and his false hope.
That hope lies in Stephen Harper, Ralph Klein, and even conservative-minded liberal leaders like Jean Charest and Gordon Campbell who are willing to take a stand against the healthcare beast and do what is right.
Conservatism = Hope trumping fear, responsibility trumping recklessness, strength trumping inferiority.
Choose Your Canada.
