Musings
Go hard left, then go hard right

The enlightened world of gaming
I have never played a video game. Never. I just never got the hang of it, or was too busy, or whatever. It looked stupid, frankly. I bought my sons…
In Tuesday’s Sun: abolish Question Period!
Parliament is back in session, and so too Question Period. Nobody would dispute that the former is a crucial part of the way in which we govern ourselves. But the…

Facebook isn’t growing, the others are
Somewhere, Steve Ladurantaye is doing fist pumps.
Is just something in my eye, is all
That’s all. (Made me miss you, BK. Time goes fast.)
Trudeau and ISIS: the perils of local media
The federal Liberal caucus is in London, this week, planning for the coming Parliamentary session – but also to wave the Grit flag, a bit, and try and recapture the…
Now Magazine: still full of shit
Here we go again: the free speechies at Now Magazine are making legal threats about the way in which I exercise my free speech. In particular, the self-styled progressives at…
51 days to break his first major promise
