    Respect our values or Leave

    I can't say I was impressed by the original interview with this Australian politician. Whether it was integrating the Irish a 100 years ago, or the Muslims today, there have always been serious difficulties when cultures meet and clash. I agree that there are radical Islamists who abuse the...

    "Canadians trust military more than government: Poll"

    Strangely, I have received similar comments from arts students who are "against" the military. Without exception, these students hadn't given their position any serious thought. So I would use the Socratic method. And quickly they would realize that they weren't against having a military. They...

    'War on terror' set to surpass cost of Second World War

    Trillions of dollars are being spent. I suggest the appropriate question would be, Are the radical elements of Islam as much of a threat to us as the Axis Powers were? If the response is yes, then the costs associated are justified.

    Video: Soldiers celebrate Canada Day in Afghanistan

    That was the headline which appeared in the newspaper. I have modified it now, hopefully to your liking.

    Radical group may disrupt Prince William's visit

    Generally, the government is left with the security bill. However, in fairness, I understand the same standard applies for large public gatherings of civilians. If you organize a public march or rally to express your political views, the government will provide security without charge.

    Has Harper gone liberal?

    Even with Layton there, NDP support is precarious. Quebec voters have no long-standing tradition of voting NDP. The Orange Wave of 2011 was a mile wide, and an inch deep.

    "The best movie of all time"

    I was just joking around. I did read the full book for high school English, but do not recall my impression of the book. There were several high school novel which had a big impact on me. Song of Solomon, by Toni Morrison. The Old Gringo, by Carlos Fuentes. And most powerfully, George Orwell's...

    Has Harper gone liberal?

    I can see a number of scenarios, alone or combined, which might bring the Liberals over 155 in 2015. - a continuing or worsening global economic situation leads centre-right voters to punish the Conservatives, and reward the Liberals. - Harper or his government is irreparably tarnished by...

    Has Harper gone liberal?

    It is premature to write an obituary for the Liberal Party. Given the volatile nature of our electorate, the next election could see the Liberals winning anywhere from 0 to 200 seats. My forecasts at the start of the latest campaign were off by more than a Calgary weather report. Election Night...
