My name is Fred and I am a gay conservative living in Ottawa. This blog supports limited government, the right of the State of Israel to live in peace and security, and tries to expose the threat to us all from cultural relativism, post-modernism, and radical Islam. I am also the founder of the Free Thinking Film Society in Ottawa (www.freethinkingfilms.com)

Liberals forking over needless cash...

Main headline in the National Post today on proposed settlement of abuse in Indian residentiall schools.
The government of Canada signed an accord with the Assembly of First Nations yesterday that appears to commit Ottawa to a multi-billion-dollar payment to former students of Indian residential schools.
What is really horrible about this proposed settlement is that ALL students would receive money, as opposed to those students who could demonstrate they suffered abuse.

I believe that dollars should only be given out in cases where extreme hardship can be proved.
