My Sun Media colleague Andre Fortin snapped some great pictures of the March for Life. I think they tell a story on their own.
Today police announced a second arrest in the Tim Bosma case with details to be released later this afternoon.
Last night I spoke with former Toronto police investigator Ross McLean about the Bosma case.
Ross McLean provides an update on the Tim Bosma murder case.
The devastation in Oklahoma is hard to fathom. The pictures and the videos only tell part of the story. The remainder is told in the human stories that you will see and hear over coming days.
Right now people need help and they need it fast to cover basic needs like food and water. Hours after the storm ripped through Moore, Oklahoma my friends at Mercury One, Glenn Beck and Joe Kerry, left Dallas with truckloads of basic goods. You can help them deliver more.
Mercury One will pass on 100% of all money raised to those in need, no administrative overhead. If you can give, this is the charity I recommend.
Here are a couple of pictures taken early this morning by Paige Perry with The Blaze.
More from Paige and crew here.
There are many more stories to come. Please if you can give, give now.

Back when I started applying for jobs, sometime shortly after the medieval warm period, there were certain questions that employers could not ask applicants. Questions regarding your ethnic or religious background were forbidden, questions of race were out of the question, even marital status could be considered a no-no.
That’s all passe and now, thanks to years of affirmative action, we are no longer colour blind or looking past other issues, we ask about them up front in the name of diversity. But asking about your sexual preferences is new to me.
Andrew Lawton has an interesting story on the latest fad in HR queries – U of T wants to know who you prefer having sex with.
Beyond the usual “Members of Visible Minorities,” “Sex,” “Aboriginal Peoples” and “Persons with Disabilities,” was a field I had never seen on a job application before.
It asked, “Do you identify as a sexual minority (e.g. lesbian, gay, bisexual, two-spirited, queer or transgender)?”.
Read the whole thing and weep for the decline of Western civilization.

Good for B.C. Liberal leader and Premier Christy Clark on her surprising (and overwhelming) election victory. Despite every pollster and pundit (including me) predicting her political extinction, Clark won with personal energy and determination, coupled with an appeal to voters’ interest in economic growth.
(A little reminder here and there of how disastrous past NDP governments have been didn’t hurt, either.) Clark’s win is good news for B.C. and the country. Read more…
