If Stephen Harper had plagiarized in high school, he would have been penalized. If he’d plagiarized in university he would have been penalized. So a speech given in the House of Commons as Opposition leader plagiarized by his writers means he gets a free pass and someone else takes the fall.

I’m on record as disappointed with the UK Evangelical Alliance regarding their blogging 10 commandments.
These were released in the UK for the weekend media cycle to traditional newspaper friendlies and tonight their pr is hitting the US religious media. Verbatim. Ouch.
Bloggers with important things to say are left out of the media loop.
The EA leaders [...]

He got a good education, and has been the minister of a Fellowship Baptist Church in Edson Alberta.
He served his congregation since 1997, the church website isn’t fancy. Church life is steady in the small town and the web-pages haven’t been updated in quite awhile.

I didn’t see any indication the attendees were [...]

Dear RCMP officer: In the event of my untimely death or incapacitation due to suspicious circumstances, I offer some assistance.

GodTV finally piped up with it’s statement this week on the Canadian charlatan who was pushed front and centre by US and UK neo-charismatic interests this year.  They need him. They need the money. While claims of healing have been looked [...]
