Many of the upper class in Britain were terrified of communism and initially thought Hitler would stand up to the Reds and then everything would be back to normal and everyone in Europe would live happily ever after.

While I certainly can’t speak for everyone, I think most here in this forum are of the opinion that the likelihood of war between the major powers of the world is becoming increasingly likely. If or when that time comes, we’re going to need an incredible sense of unity and patriotism to stand...

Maybe, he will even give Russia permission to invade our Arctic areas for not carrying our weight in NATO.

Talk is cheap.

I’ve never been a fan of Bill Blair, particularly when he was Chief of Toronto Police Services. However, I must say, that he has been saying things lately that few others in his party have dared to say about the state of our defence capabilities. Even if he is not an eloquent speaker, his...

Almost every major newspaper in the country, regardless of their political slant, has reported on the alarming lack of commitment to NATO by our government. Considering how Canada was one of the founders of NATO in the first place, it’s a sad comment on our times. Frankly, I’m disgusted with...

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...

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

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...

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...
