Hold your bets on the 2019 election.
Got a call from a call centre the other day looking for funds for prime minister Trudeau’s liberals. It is likely that they have to push harder these days. It…
Complacency is Justin Trudeau’s enemy.
With a federal election ten months away, we can ignore all polls. They tell us little. It reminds me of the first party campaign in which I was involved. It…
Biting the hand with the handouts.
We have warned Justin Trudeau repeatedly that those so-called independent senators are going to bite him on the bum. Blame him for all those Christmas presents that Canada Post cannot…

Underlining the ignorance of Trump.
U.S. President Donald Trump is but an immature child playing at being the leader of the most powerful nation on earth. The point was so perfectly positioned the other day…

A government built on falsehoods.

Donald Trump’s Win?
We might as well let Donald Trump think he won. You hate to give a bully the victory but he would just go away and pout if we did not.…
