    Chinese Military,Political and Social Superthread

    It’s as if Canada has a sign on its back saying “Kick Me”. I wonder which nation the ChiComs think is the biggest pushover.

    Trudeau Popularity - or not. Nanos research

    I realize that some people who get into politics do so solely for self-serving reasons and that some give in to “the system” and become corrupt. I never said that Mulroney was perfect…there were many aspects of his actions that I found deplorable. And the same is true of just about every...

    Trust in our Institutions

    In the meantime Vlad P. is probably laughing himself silly in the Kremlin over all the disunity going on in the West.

    Trust in our Institutions

    My first response was that such a statement was unbelievable and that it was made by a female justice no less. Sadly, though, this kind of Orwellian crap is becoming increasingly a normal thing. Interestingly there was no mention of any transgender people in the court case. I know I’m getting...

    Trudeau Popularity - or not. Nanos research

    Kind of like the beginnings of the communist state in Russia. The term “Soviet” referred to a so-called localized governing council of workers. Okay…except for the fact that those heading the Soviets were the ones getting rich…often super rich…from controlling the monies and power allocated to...

    Haitian leaders must all agree before Canada would lead a potential military intervention, Trudeau says

    Kind of reminds me of the one about two cannibals having dinner: Cannibal #1: “Wow, your wife makes good soup.” Cannibal #2: “Yes, she does.” Cannibal #1: “So where is your wife?”

    Haitian leaders must all agree before Canada would lead a potential military intervention, Trudeau says

    This is a “no-win” situation that will accomplish nothing.

    Dating oneself? Gulp, I used to watch the TV show.

    Justin Trudeau hints at boosting Canada’s military spending

    I have never been a fan of Bill Blair when he was Toronto Police Chief and Minister of Border Security blah, blah, blah. But it seems to me that he has been more outspoken in his latest posting than he’s ever been. Is he simply leaving things for the next government? Somehow I think he really...

    The answer to our crisis of young men? Boy Scouts

    Growing up in the U.S. in the 1950s I attended a public school that saw a lot of bullying and fighting amongst boys. Quite often kids would form impromptu gangs and beat up someone they took offence to. Having been on the receiving end a few times, I found that I was tending to become rather...

    You’re right on that. Those values are timeless.

    The answer to our crisis of young men? Boy Scouts

    I spent my early years in the U.S. where I was a Cub Scout. Even though Scouting is probably considered more a product of yesterday’s values, I still think it has great relevance today in building a young boy’s character.

    Brian Mulroney has died

    He showed class as a prime minister and as a man. People of his calibre are sadly in short supply these days. R.I.P.
