It’s my true home, it’s where I grew up, it’s where my family spent the most years: Calgary. But can anyone explain to me why Stephen Harper would, ever state that it is Canada’s “best” city? I think it’s pretty awesome, too.  It’s amazing, in fact. But it seems like

I cannot tell you how happy I was to read the following on the front page of this morning’s Globe and Mail: President Barack Obama wants to shift the focus of the election campaign away from health care and unemployment to a debate about income inequality, betting voters will back

Ms. Southey objects to my column, below. She thinks I’m a “dick,” etc. for having effrontery to criticize her friend.  Yawn. She also thinks her tweet below, about Luka Magnotta’s victim Jun Lin, is super-duper funny. She says it’s “black humour.” I don’t quite see it that way, myself. In

So, there’s this fellow who works at Sun News. We often share the same page in the paper for our columns. He is quite famous, and I decidedly am not. I don’t ever mention him, and he doesn’t ever mention me. There are a lot of good reasons for that,

Just at West 49. Buying gear for the kids. Guy at cash sees my Replacements tee. “Hey, man, that was a great movie,” says he. “What?” I say, horrified and amazed. Companion says I look like I want to kill. Kid stutters. “The movie,” he squeaks. “You know, the football

Mulroney: You had an option, sir. You could have said, ‘I am not going to do it. This is wrong for Canada, and I am not going to ask Canadians to pay the price.’ You had an option, sir — to say ‘no’ — and you chose to say ‘yes’

If the plane back to TeeDot goes down in a fiery ball of flame this afternoon, here’s a pic you can put up on your fridge door. You’re welcome.

This is a Rick Bell story. In the Calgary Sun. In Alberta. Good thing nobody is interested in this Trudeau guy.

…at Sled Island. Here.

Everything that the National Post and Sun News have been saying for years is true: the Kinsellas are Kommunists. Proof, here, in the form of a cropped photo of Son One wearing Team Russia’s uniform for an exhibition game in Magog, PQ. He’s assistant captain. Sons One and Two have

I wasn’t on Sun News, this week, because I was in Jamaica, where it is less hot than Toronto. While here, I heard from a friend at Sun News, who told me that Jason Kenney was on in my usual Wednesday slot. When asked about my views on Kenney’s anti-refugee

Words are about information. Pictures are about emotion. Emotion equals power. Print folks — the ones who pour their souls into writing newspapers and magazines, the ones who craft profound essays for blogs, the ones who toil in government offices and conjure up grand speeches — like to believe that

Perhaps it’s because I’m in Jamaica and don’t give a rat’s ass, or perhaps it’s because I’m becoming even more of a curmudgeon than before: either way – and from an admittedly great distance – I find this week’s commentary/news to be a ribald mix of stupidity, ridiculousness and/or stupendously

This young man was snapped at USMC Camp Pendleton, celebrating July 4 near San Diego with 15,000 Marines, all SFH fans! In an unrelated matter, SFH looks forward to the day this strapping young man kicks Mark Steyn’s head in. In front of his ugly loser friends.

Any guesses where I am?

The point – in this column, and the poll it examines – is entirely missed. Voters have always been progressive. It’s only journalists who thought they were becoming conservative. The point is this: what’s been changing isn’t voters’ views of conservatives – it’s conservatives themselves who have changed. They have

Now, Libs, we got any hope of winning that riding? Held it long ago, as I recall.

I liked this because: 1. Lynn Crosbie isn’t running with the snarling, snapping media pack, which is what the best columnists should do. 2. She correctly notes that a lot of the personal criticisms Cruise has faced over the years originate in homophobia; and 3. She correctly notes that a

Worth keeping in mind when Messrs. Harper, Hudak and Ford say gun control doesn’t work. Wonder how they’ll react when a shooting happens steps from their front door? I sure do. [More here..]

The shortwave service started in 1942. Prime Minister Mackenzie King said it would help to keep our soldiers connected with what was going on back home. For our armed forces members in uniform – then and now – RCI became an easy way to stay in touch with Canada and
