I have been marveling at how much fun it is to watch politicians playing together. In Kanadoodle we saw news snippets of Pierre (cluck, cluck) Poulet, leader of the Consumptive Party pecking at Dustbin Truthless in the Iglooarliament. There isn't a rooster anywhere who can ruffle feathers like Poulet, who's prepared to disagree with anything …

2022 IN REVIEW
In writing my last blog of 2022, I thought I'd reflect on the state of the world this past year. The very idea brought my thoughts immediately to England, back before the second world war.

9/11 REVISITED
It’s been twenty-one years since the al-Qaeda attacks of 9/11 and the occasion was marked in America this week by a number of ceremonies commemorating the nearly three thousand people killed. The attack itself was a message for North Americans who, up until then, were remarkably insulated from the radical ideologies that spawn global terrorism. …
