You're invited to the Parliamentary Forum on Canadian Freedoms

If you're in the Ottawa area on Oct. 30 please consider joining MP David Anderson (Cypress Hills-Grasslands, and Shadow Cabinet Secretary for International Human Rights and Religious Freedom), Janet Epp Buckingham (Director of Trinity Western University's Laurentian Leadership Centre), Jay Cameron (Litigation Manager for the Justice Centre for Canadian Freedoms) and myself to discuss "Canadian Freedoms: Growing Threats?" at the Parliamentary Forum on Canadian Freedoms.

It's in Room 430, Wellington Building (197 Sparks St.) from 7 to 9 p.m. on Monday Oct. 30 and it is open to the public. But you need to RSVP to David Anderson's Legislative Assistant Tristan McLaughlin (613-995-1616 or david.anderson.a1@parl.gc.ca) and you will need photo ID for admission to the Parliamentary premises.

I'll be talking about Magna Carta, how Parliament evolved to protect the freedoms guaranteed in the Great Charter, and how the weakening of Parliament in recent decades threatens our liberties.

Riding the storm rhetorically not scientifically

In my latest National Post column I say blaming a recent increase in severe storms on man-made global warming is nonsense not because the explanation is wrong in its details but because there hasn't been an increase in severe storms to explain in the first place.

For more useful facts and logical theories about the climate see my new documentary The Environment: A True Story.

The Environment: A True Story is told

With great pleasure I announce the release of my latest documentary. The Environment: A True Story compares the claims of global warming alarmists with widely accepted facts about the past history and present state of the Earth.

Thanks to hundreds of backers who made it possible, it is now available free on YouTube. Backers should hear from me shortly about getting their copies. If you didn't back the project but would like to purchase a high-res ad-free digital copy or order a DVD it will soon be possible via my online store.

Thanks again to everyone who made it possible.

Canadian Centre for Men and Families Ottawa - Grand Opening

A great turnout for the grand opening of the Canadian Centre for Men and Families - Ottawa on Saturday. And a very nice piece in the Ottawa Citizen.

So thanks to everyone who came to the event, and to everyone who helped make it possible from donors to volunteers to staff. And if you know anyone in the Ottawa area who needs the services the CCMF-O is putting in place, from crisis counselling to support groups to legal issues to advice on fathering after divorce (or just in general) please refer them to the centre.
