 It has been said that when you believe your own lies, you are in real trouble.
In the spirit of my running dialogue with my esteemed fellow, Dalton, here, I’m hoping to wrangle a few more into the conversation. More importantly, Aaron Unruh’s last post on the subject highlights the need for a continuing appreciation […]

If this polls out for the NDP, what a blow for the illustrious leader of HM’s loyal opposition, Stephane Dion. How embarrassing! The guy is losing seats in Quebec to the NDP. Or another way of saying it, of all the parties to lose seats to in Quebec, Dion is losing to the […]

Victor Davis Hansen has written a succinct piece on what’s wrong with America’s education system; much the same criticism can be legitimately raised here in Canada.
the bleak statistics — whether a 70-percent high-school graduation rate as measured in a study a few years ago by the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research, or poor math […]

The Montebello summit in Quebec, where, among other matters, Artic sovereignty is to be discussed, demonstrates to Canadians the Harper difference in foreign affairs: the world takes us seriously again!
The Financial Times has a good piece on Harper’s last eighteen months in office, “Canada’s conservative man of action.”

On Friday last, the U.K.’s Telegraph lost one of its finest: W.F. Deedes. He died, age 94, halfway through his final column, putting his laptop to the side of his bed only when he was simply too weak to continue. Check out the Telegraph’s tribute page.
Lord Deedes had been a British peer for […]
