Newspeak

When the French refused to join the U.S. invasion of Iraq, Americans were so mad at them they wanted to change French fries to Freedom fries.

Obama Putin faceoff

"Houston we have a problem."

To be or not to be a real U.S. President?

Decisions? Decisions? To attack Bashar Assad's arsenal of chemical weapons, or maybe not? To attack it big-time, or attack it small-time?

Putrid Politics

Anyone who thinks Stephen Harper was let down by his friends in the Senate is naive, to say the least.

Bashing Assad

Dithering Obama should heed these wise words of Napoleon.

Bashing The Beastly Bashar

Bashar Assad is a power-mad beast Like the rest of his ilk in the middle East Give him an inch and he'll take a Mile And order mass murder with an evil Smile So a U.S. Led NATO must take a stand And bury Basher deep in the desert Sand.

Bail or bribe?

Const. James Forcillo was not allowed to return home because he is presumed innocent until proved guilty.

The Muddle East

Old Girl’s Club?

Fingering Ford

Poor Mayor Rob Ford, he can't even have a few beers at a street festival without the media hounding his every move.

Foreign Ways

Those advocating a change of venue for the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia, because of Russian crackdowns on GLBT persons don't seem to understand that it's the height of arrogance to try forcing other countries to change their morals and mores to suit us.

Politicians

Show us the money

Rob Ford says Toronto not only needs a new subway, it also needs a football stadium. I need a lot of things myself, but like Toronto, I can't afford them.

A U.S.renaissance

Dear Uncle Sam, I keep hearing from the news media that you are in dire financial straits on many fronts. However, there is one front I cannot understand: Why have you allowed your infrastructure to deteriorate to the point where the lives of Americans are in danger and transportation costs are becoming prohibitive owing to your crumbling roads, bridges and rails? In the aftermath of World War II your Marshall Plan raised Germany and Japan from the ashes of defeat and set them on the road to prosperity in order to ensure they were on your side in fighting the cold War which you also won by investing billions of dollars in your military and in propping up many of your allies.

Reducing hospital costs

The Weakling

Egypt. Syria. Iraq. Iran. Libya. Afghanistan. North Korea.... ?

Double Piping

It would seem that pipelines are safer than trains for moving great quantities of oil. A pipeline leak would never cause the death and destruction caused by the runaway train in Quebec.

The Rains Came

While the egg-head climatologists were hotly debating the pros and cons of global warming, global wetting caught Calgary and Toronto by surprise.

Stable jobs

It's good to know that the Toronto Sun supports "good stable jobs" But unless the slots continue to subsidize the horse-racing industry all those good stable jobs will disappear.
