Every single word could have come out of my head, but I wouldn’t have had your talent to put it down as coherently. Thank you, from someone who understands those angry, screaming young women, who think they know what matters in life. I am one of the 58% who believe abortion must be legal–early–and that women, now empowered, must use that power to reclaim control over their bodies. That means paying attention, noticing, not blowing off the missed period, getting a drug store preg test, and resolving a positive result–one way or the other–not waiting so long…so they won’t have to struggle with the knowledge that they stopped the beating heart of their own child. Maybe the only child they would ever have. The fight over the right to abortion–and the extremes to which it has been taken–has truly sidetracked and destroyed the women’s movement. We’re expendable human machines now, whose useless breasts can be lopped off at age 15, who can be erased by a 6’4″ muscular woman with a penis. Bless you, Elizabeth. May your voice be heard far beyond this page – July 13

Paper Cuts, NY Times Book Review

Nickson’s ‘Darwinian Thrash Hunt’ = Phrase of the Week

Washington Times

Eco-Fascists is a superbly written account of the devastating political agenda of the environmentalist junta…The book’s bombshell revelations alone will make it one of the year’s most talked-about releases…[This] book should also get people talking, reflecting and reconsidering previously held positions about North America’s environmental movement.

Esquire Magazine

“(The Monkey Puzzle Tree”) is a horrifying and gripping novel”

C2C Journal

Elizabeth Nickson’s story has all the makings of a Hollywood biopic: A Westmount exile, who rebels against power and privilege, becomes a globe-trotting leftist journalist chronicling the great revolutionary narratives of her time. Then she sets out to discover the awful truth about her patriarchal 400-year-old colonist clan and everything changes. But Hollywood won’t touch her script because what she finds are eternal truths, about love, charity, sacrifice, Christianity and genuine freedom.

The Times

A gripping tale, a thriller with all the stops pulled out.

Republic of East Vancouver

Furthermore, Fulford is nowhere near as entertaining in his public breakdown as fellow National Post columnist, barking mad Elizabeth Nickson.

The Ottawa Citizen

Read this novel….it was so disturbing. The Monkey Puzzle Tree tells us what Cameron did to destroy his victims and their families. It also teaches us why we should not forget what he did.

Macleans

Tender and poetic. Nickson’s work deals with a staggering atrocity…(She) brings a keen eye for telling detail and a grace with the language to her story.

The New Statesman

Nickson creates a harrowing account of a downward spiral into madness cut with a sinister, political edge.

What a fucking bitch. Patronizing General Dallaire?! Elizabeth Nickson could not carry the lunch of the guy who carries the lunch for the guy who carries the lunch for the guy who carries the lunch for the guy who carries the lunch for the guy who carries the lunch for Romeo Dallaire.

The Fraser Institute

Ever spirited, Elizabeth Nickson has continued to inspire, amuse, outrage, and provoke Canadians on a wide range of issues.

Wiki Quotes

“Well,” said the Oregon State Senator, “what would Jesus do?” My mind hit a brick wall and slid down it. No one I considered entirely sane had ever said something like that to me before.

Islands Trust must adapt if it is to survive

Times Colonist, Saturday, March 10, 2012

Forest-lot families on Galiano barred from building homes for 20 years.

The Islands Trust, Canada’s blue-chip experiment in conservation government has decided not to take a $250,000 Gas Fund grant to review its policy statement. Gulf Island residents heaved a sigh of relief. Was the Trust actually considering the will of its subjects? Could it be that the Trust was finally listening to people who were not fanatic supporters? Could the Trust learn, grow and even survive?
