-- EDMONTON -- With his young wife slain and his brother charged with murder, NDP candidate Mike Butler knows the issue of violent crime more intimately than many Canadians.Just one question here, Mike... why are you running for the Dippers?
On April 7, 2007, Butler's life began to crumble when his father-in-law telephoned to let him know that Butler's wife, Stephanie, had been bludgeoned to death in their home.
Then the news got worse. His brother, Ken, who Butler said was once addicted to methamphetamine, was charged with the crime.

LAST WORD: That Giant Flushing Noise
“The downward tide of leftism is “tolerant, diverse, non-judgmental, non-discriminatory, egalitarian, politically correct, multicultural, globalist, and collectivist."*
"It insists that there are no rights and wrongs, no moral absolutes. It turns everything upside down in its looking glass world."
"It denies the correctness of all that produced what our culture revered before the deconstruction of the world in accordance with the tenets of cultural Marxism.”
