Just got a tip that the Western Standard, Canada’s only conservative magazine, is closing its doors.
Can anyone confirm or, hopefully, deny?

Thanks, Werner Patels. A great relief if it’s true. As mentioned, tho, would be nice to have heard something about the progress of the case to help fend off conclusion-jumping!
I will miss the Western Standard. I am the guy who got Tommy Douglas’ Thesis to Kate, she put it on SDA, and then the WS did an entire cover story on Tommy the Nazi. What other news media would be bold enough to report the truth about the left in this country?
Me too, Trent. I’ll miss it. The void shall be filled in a more efficient economic manner, I’m sure.
Kudos on your Tommy the Nazi scoop.

I’d rather cash in yours. 🙂
Spoken like a true liberal. Always wanting someone else to carry the mail.

Actually, there’s one publication Canadians can still rely on for the real goods about what’s going on in Canada: REALITY, which is published by REAL Women of Canada.
Their motto? Women’s rights but not at the expense of human rights (meaning not clawing one’s way over men and babies in order to climb up the corporate ladder).

Buy a membership to this group and you receive REALITY a number of times a year. Their publication blows the top off a lot of Liberal and NDP scandals and gives the real scoop on much of the revisionist, radical feminist crap that’s going on in Canada’s judiciary.
Gwen Landolt, one of the founders of REAL Women, is shrewd, wise, and perceptive. She’s also a lawyer, which the MSM have ensured remains a well-kept secret. (You’re supposed to think she sequesters herself in her kitchen, with no shoes on.)
She, like Ted Byfield and a few others, is a Canadian who knows her stuff.
“Spoken like a true liberal. Always wanting someone else to carry the mail.”
What? I’m a Liberal? Why didn’t anyone TELL me this? Does this mean I should stop fawning over images of Jack Layton?
*snork*
Too bad, but WS was simply not good enough.
I agreed with many/most of their opinions, but the writing was uneven, i.e. there was simply not enough quality articles.
Jesus, Sean. Don’t tell me you don’t know the difference between a small “l” liberal and a capital “L” Liberal.
Lorraine, I always appreciate your comments, but forgive my scruples concerning something you said today: I worship Jesus Christ and find it difficult to hear His name taken in vain.
There are a number of other expletives which would do the job just as well and the fact of your being so articulate, I’m sure you won’t have any trouble locating a few.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Sorry, Lorraine. I must need a new pair of glasses.
I should have addressed my comment, above, to LOUISE.
“Jesus, Sean. Don’t tell me you don’t know the difference between a small “l” liberal and a capital “L” Liberal.”
I think it has something to do with the tax rate one is expected to pay.
“I worship Jesus Christ and find it difficult to hear His name taken in vain.”
I object to having my name parked next to Jesus’. He’s always hogging the limelight.
I could care less. Media should do its best not to present bias. I’d never subscribe to some partisan hack publication that makes me feel warm and fuzzy because it preaches to my values over and over again. Doesn’t matter if its left or right.
Liberal Stanglehold on MSM?
In a country with the Sun group and Canwest?
But seriously folks . . . .
Louise,
Small l liberal = classical liberal, which is represented in groups such as the Fraser & Cato institutes, Libertarian parties, the small government faction of the GOP, and several liberal, free democrat, and moderate parties in Europe.
Capital L Liberals = large state, nanny state, social democratic, conservative, corporativist, etc election machines, that freely moves across the left/right spectrum in order to obtain power. Generally characterized by a contempt for the people and their capabilities, while nurturing good relations with big business and big unions, and/or churches. Most commonly seen in parties such as the Liberal party in Canada, Democratic party in the US, the big government faction of the GOP, and social democratic
and Christion Democratic parties in Europe.
