Carbon Pricing: You’ve Got it Wrong, Mr. Falk

Posted on: 1 November, 2016 Last updated on: 1 November, 2016 Written by: Blair Mahaffy Comments: 2
It is with great disappointment that I note that your party has decided to oppose the Liberal Carbon tax by portraying it as a tax grab. The government is saying this tax will be revenue neutral – that is it…

Posted on: 21 October, 2015 Last updated on: 21 October, 2015 Written by: Blair Mahaffy Comments: 0
What an experience! The election is over, and I’m filled with pride, gratitude, and hope. Pride because I’m part of something bigger than myself, something incredible: Canada, and also the Green Party of Canada; and because the people of the…

Posted on: 4 October, 2015 Last updated on: 4 October, 2015 Written by: Blair Mahaffy Comments: 8
My last post on marijuana and why legalizing it is not an endorsement of it has generated a lot of interest, and I’ve received a number of emails from people asking me about my stance on abortion in light of…

On the State of Politics in Canada

Posted on: 22 August, 2015 Last updated on: 22 August, 2015 Written by: Blair Mahaffy Comments: 0
Canadians have a reputation for kindness and diplomacy…and then an election happens. If someone were to judge Canadians by their political advertisements, we’d have a reputation for being passive-aggressive (“he’s just not ready“) and corrupt (“enough“). This election isn’t the…

In the past two weeks, Provencher MP Ted Falk has used his weekly newspaper column to talk about economic stability. In both columns, he points to the economic crisis in Greece as an example of unfettered spending leading to economic…

Ted Talks: Supporting Families

Posted on: 14 June, 2015 Last updated on: 14 June, 2015 Written by: Blair Mahaffy Comments: 0
Ted Falk recently stood up in the House of Commons to speak about the ways that the Conservative Government are supporting families. It’s a noble goal, and one that every party strives for. But one of the reasons that I’m…

Agreeing or Being Agreeable? Partisanship vs. Opposition

Posted on: 6 June, 2015 Last updated on: 6 June, 2015 Written by: Blair Mahaffy Comments: 0
It’s been a while since I’ve responded to Ted Falk; there hasn’t been much to say about his recent posts, except that they’re more or less exactly what an MP should be writing about. He’s telling us what the government…

Ted Talks: Fishing for Hunters and Anglers

Posted on: 18 May, 2015 Last updated on: 18 May, 2015 Written by: Blair Mahaffy Comments: 0
In a recent blog post, Provencher MP Ted Falk talks about all of the things that the Conservative Hunting and Angling Caucus have done to stand up for hunters and anglers. I find it more than a little puzzling. From…

Ted Talks: A Budget for Buying Votes

Posted on: 26 April, 2015 Last updated on: 26 April, 2015 Written by: Blair Mahaffy Comments: 0
Most of the political talk these days is about the late, 518-page federal budget, so it’s no surprise that Provencher MP Ted Falk used his column this week to extol its virtues. Those virtues are real, but they cover a…

Abortion, and the Limits of Law

Posted on: 19 April, 2015 Last updated on: 19 April, 2015 Written by: Blair Mahaffy Comments: 5
Something that I struggle with as a Christian politician (particularly one whose primary study is in Ethics) is the question of how much morality should influence law. I know I’m not alone in this; I think we all have ideas…
