Nothing to shrug about

So it looks like Ayn Rand's novel "Atlas Shrugged" may become a movie (finally)!

Obviously, I can't wait. But who knew that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are Ayn Rand fans?

I'll be at the opening of this movie. Guaranteed.

It's almost time...

...to begin gearing up for this year's Liberty Summer Seminar!

It's the sixth year for this event, and we anticipate a big audience, incredible speakers, and some powerful fun. You can visit the website (libertyseminar.org) to see past events, or you can just hold your horses a bit and wait until we come up with a new site, with more info, more pics, more video, more audio, and more of everything you'd want to get to know, and learn about, liberty in Canada.

This year's Seminar will take place on the July 29, 30th weekend. We will begin rolling out our speakers soon. Since this blog is linked to the Blogging Tories, you all might be happy to know that Stephen Taylor, co-founder of the Blogging Tories and all-around kick ass guy, will be speaking at the event about blogs. I can't wait for that talk!

If you'd like to help out, or if you have ideas, please get in touch with me.

End Women's Suffrage

Not so long ago, the suffragettes fought to give women the right to vote.

Some young ladies, however, are no longer interested in their right to vote. Or so it would seem if you watch this video.

Will Albino, a highschool student at Salesianum School visited Padua Academy, an all-girls Catholic school, and requested that they sign a petition calling for an end to women's suffrage. Dozens of students from Padua, recognized as a "National School of Excellence" by the U.S. Department of Education, gleefully took up a pen to sign the petition.

You can read an article about the video here.
