Sept. 7 this is late because my paper was very, very late.
I made a deal for delivery my paper from Irving press to my door early in the morning. It hasn’t happened since December. I wonder. If Mr. Irving had made…

Sept. 6: Short on a sunny afternoon….
….and credit where credit was due. In Saturday’s paper, I forgot to look at the Faith Page. Big mistake. Reverend Richard Jackson has an excellent column on the distinctions between…
Sept, 5:The teaching of lies.
The following site was sent to me by a reader. I think it’s quite true. It tells us what the U.S. government really is – and it could well have…
Sept. 4: A long one. Sorry.
It is now 2:15, and my breakfast copy of the newspaper has still not arrived. I am told it may come at 3 p.m. It will not be delivered to…
Sept. 3: I can’t even pretend to understand why….
….but the Irving press seems to get worse each day. I’ll just go over it briefly for today, then move onto something worth talking about. In section A, “riggers,stage crew…
Sept. 2: A bad day at the Irving press.
For an opener, this warning. The report that Russia is intervening in the Syria war has been denied by Russia – and has not been supported by any other news…
September 1: The importance of fiction.
Damn. I spent hours on a long blog – and lost it all. So this will deal with the same themes, but be much shorter. Norbert Cunningham’s column today deserves…
August 31: "The Canadians are coming. The Canadians are coming."
And so governor Scott of Wisconsin is galloping through the night streets of the U.S., sounding the alarm. The Irving press did notice the story that governor Scott has warned…
August 30:betcha never heard of Garda World
http://www.garda-world.com/ It’s the world’s biggest, privately owned “security” service. It does the usual security service stuff like providing guards for malls. It also provides more advanced security for ventures like…
August 29:Be patient. The major part of this comes…
….after a brief bit about how ghastly the local newspaper is. If you really, really care that the New Brunswick legislature will be offering a new beer to visiting dignataries,…
August 27: And not too late to send me an expensive birthday gift.
Forgive me for I have sinned. Friends told me (how wise they were) to write my column in Word or something similar so I could finish it, then copy it…
August 26: Lies and damn lies
I am not familiar with the site I post below. It was sent to me by a reader – and I send it on because it shows a high degree…
August 24: An apology…
I missed yesterday’s blog because life became chaotic for the day. I didn’t need the world’s chaos to add to it. Luckily, I found only one column in the August…
August 23:There are none so blind….
….as those who will not see. For over 80 years, war has meant the mass slaughter of civilians. It’s the result of using weapons that cannot be precise killers –…
August 22:The worse part of democracy….
…is elections. They are almost always trivial. In the U.S., the big issue is whether Mexicans are sneaking across the border to rape American women. That’s the dernier crie in…
August 21: the news that isn’t in the Irving press.
The account below, from aljazeera, is the first news story I have seen that makes Black discontent in the U.S. fully understandable. Racism, despite superficial changes, is as powerful in…
August 20: The return of fascism.
Damn, Damn, Damn I’ve done it again. I’ve lost a whole blog just as I was finishing it. So this is going to be short. I do have a life…
August 19: Much ado about nothing.
The front page headline for today is that “Gallant and Harper spar over health funding”. Is that a key issue in this election? Does it really make sense to fight…
August 18:http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/aug/14/military-ignores-obamas-order-release-shaker-aamer-guantanamo
This will be very short because my breakfast newspaper never arrived at all. In fact, I haven’t received it until noon, at the earliest, since September. Thank you , Mr.…
August 17: The Irving press is actually getting worse….
A few years ago, I would have thought it impossible. But the Irving press has actually become noticeably worse over the last six months, so much worse that, as a…
