It’s Time To Sequester Green Energy Subsidies, Not Mythical Oil And Gas Tax Breaks
One of the big applause lines in President Obama’s recent Georgetown “climate action plan” pitch declaring an all-out EPA war on coal and it’s fossil cousins said: “And because billions of your tax dollars continue to still subsidize some of the most profitable corporations in the history of the world, my budget once again calls for Congress to end the tax breaks for big oil companies, and invest in the clean-energy companies that will fuel our future.” This is hardly a new strategy theme.

Debate needed on property rights
JOSEPH QUESNEL, For the Winnipeg Sun
The Manitoba government’s attempt to seize the home of an accused sex predator is raising eyebrows in many quarters.

It is arguable seizing property of a sex predator is a step up from seizing property used in drug activities. In the case of the predator, they are harming someone tangibly.
People choose to come and buy drugs. Yes, many are addicted to hard drugs, but there is the choice to seek help and break the addiction.
