I think this is my all-time favorite TSO song. I could listen to the late Daryl Pediford sing for hours. Beautiful. And, unlike a lot of modern “Christmas” music that actually has very little to do with the holiday we are supposed to be celebrating, TSO never fails to get me in the mood for CHRISTmas. Just FIVE more days!! … Read More

Planned Parenthood and Your Tax Dollars
For the past six years the federal government has been funding abortion organizations, to the tune of $1 BILLION.

From the National Post: Like so many other couples these days, the Toronto-area business executive and her husband put off having … Read More
