Having visited St. John’s last summer, I found that the stories of Newfoundlanders’ boundless generosity and graciousness are absolutely true. Therefore, the following resonates deeply with me: .@markcritch’s ode to the Newfoundland blizzard. #nlstorm2020 #nlblizzard2020 #nlwx pic.twitter.com/ksZEcH0EQe — CBC News: The National (@CBCTheNational) January 21, 2020 Recommend this Post

Politics and its Discontents: Lev Parnas, International Man Of Mystery
Is he a hybrid of Zelig and Forrest Gump? Is he a grifter trying to make his mark on the American psyche? Is he, as suggested by Trump’s impeachment defence lawyer Patricia Bondi, simply a publicity seeker? Or is Rudi Guiliani associate Lev (Trump: I-don’t-know-the-man) Parnas telling the truth when

The triumphalism of capitalism can sometimes be hard to take. Platitudes such as “A rising tide lifts all boats” abound, rarely questioned except by the most astute among us, thereby excluding much of the MSM. Fortunately, there are still people like Linda McQuaig to set the record straight on a

The thuggish illegalities of Donald Trump are obvious for everyone to see. Everyone, that is, except for those inexplicable sludge marks on human rationality known as Trump devotees. Marie Yovanovich? Trump had Rudy intimidate her? She's been stationed in Somalia and Ukraine. Giuliani gets backed up eating a banana. https://t.co/i17FfR2vAx

As I have written in the past on this blog, I have long suspected that Canada is soft on white-collar crime, including money laundering. The fact that the Panama Papers has yielded almost no recovery by the CRA of hidden tax money speaks volumes. It would appear that laissez-faire attitude

While he will undoubtedly come under under intense criticism, all I can say is, Bravo, Michael McCain. I’m Michael McCain, CEO of Maple Leaf Foods, and these are personal reflections. I am very angry, and time isn’t making me less angry. A MLF colleague of mine lost his wife and

I have written nothing about the Iranian missile that brought down the Ukrainian flight, frankly because I don’t know what to say beyond the fact that it is an immense tragedy, not only due to the loss of life but because of who was killed: primarily young people with their

Chip Franklin may be somewhat coarse, but he certainly has insights into the dysfunctional entity known as Donald Trump: Watching Trump's announcement in front of all those generals reminds of the kid who dresses up in his dad's clothes…ya know, and then kills 1000’s of innocent people pic.twitter.com/96LZ6dPqzA — Chip

As a Canadian, there are a number of things that cause me to feel ashamed: here in Ontario, it was the election of the dumb demagogue Doug Ford, while federally it has to do with my many fellow citizens who believe the government propaganda that we can have our climate-change

While some may be cheered by the fact that evangelical magazine Christianity Today has called for Donald Trump’s removal, be aware that theirs apparently is not a widely-held view amongst ‘true’ believers.
