I remember taking my father-in-law back to Juno Beach on the 51st anniversary of D-Day (June 6, 1995…we were unable to make it for the 50th). It was his first time back to Europe since the war. I forget the name of the beachside road that connects the various landing zones, but I remember...

Sorry, FB, that should have been addressed more to Eaglelord

I disagree with you on many things but I’m totally with you this time around. I don’t think EVs are necessarily the best way to go in the long term. I would like to see more development of hydrogen vehicles. And trains? I’m with you on that. Both regionally and nationally we need more. My...

If the CPC could shed itself of the far right elements and get closer to its originally near-centre position then it could once again be a serious political power.

I had expected that, given the amount of time Poilievre and the CPC have had to respond to the various various crises over the past few years, we would now be seeing a more comprehensive, believable platform.

The NDP used to be known for supporting workers, largely union workers and mostly on the basis of wages and benefits. Over time, as unions lost the power they once had in elections, the NDP worked at shedding its image as a socialist-type party. They began to focus increasingly on what we now...

Yes, you do…you vote them out of office. Otherwise, we can respectfully agree to disagree.

The point of my sarcasm is that both government and business need checks and balances to limit their power. As Lord Acton said, “Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” Trump’s lies have Americans thinking that they will be much better off financially because of him...

As if business is the saviour of the world? If so let us bow down and pray right now that business will consign all government to the fiery depths of hell.

A Russian constitution?

There have always been people like MTG, Trump, Boebert, Gates et al. What we haven’t seen until relatively recently is such a vast number of Americans who look up to people like them and seem to hang on every word they utter. I’m wondering if those Americans who enable them fit any of the...

Trump’s Easter message just goes to show the extent of his derangement, especially his fixation on Biden and past “wrongs”. The fact that Americans are not overwhelmingly disgusted at his rantings, especially at Easter, shows the state of America’s very sad decline. And as that decline...

Willy Loman?

Until they can occupy a closer-to-centre position, the CPC is more likely to see even more defeats. The LPC seems to out-maneuver them every time. Once Trudeau resigned and Carney replaced him, the CPC seemed to be unassailable. But they blew their huge lead in a matter of weeks. So was it...

The problem with U.S. subsidiaries is that they take Canadian talent and then transfer them to their U.S. head office or subsidiaries. It’s the nature of the beast.

Too bad the disgustingly woke CBC has failed to present some of Canada’s exciting history, both good and bad, to Canadians.

I’d love to see a TV series on Canadian heroes, both those in the military and those in the private sector. Much of the “glamour” of the U.S. comes from myths that were based on reality…e.g. Davey Crockett at the Alamo, George Custer, etc. Canada has done little to create heroes and those that...

I think we should look on Australia’s film productions as a role model for us. The Aussies did quite well domestically and internationally for promoting their war-time accomplishments although sometimes not always seeing the “bad guy” necessarily as the only bad guy. Gallipoli and Breaker...

Going ahead with the full order of F-35s still doesn’t solve the basic problem, which is Trump himself. Even if we had ordered 150 F-35s he could still pull the rug out from under us for whatever reason, even if it has nothing to do with the military. The fact is, the United States has become...

How about when Trump says he has found religion and that he’s been a terrible person and is now resolved to do good for his fellow man?
