National Security

It makes no difference how Stephen Harper restructures the Canadian military. Here's why: The Canadian military could never protect us from a foreign invasion unless it is given nuclear missiles.

UK Reforms

The reforms in the UK will not include an English assembly to match the ones in Scotland and Wales.

The Divine Kim Jong-un. NOT!

Kim Jong-un's health is headline news in the West. Imagine how his subjects must feel. I'm sure the North Koreans are crushed, as I am, to learn that their Commie leaders have been lying to them all along and that Kim is not a God after all.

Healthcare

Welcome to Canada's health-care system where hospitalization is free but parking costs a thousand dollars.

Kim Jong-un: A sick leader for a sick nation

"Kim Jong-un's absence from North Korea's parliament triggers speculations about his health."

Missing Rob Ford

There Was A Mayor In Our Town Who Loved His Crack And Booze And From Toronto To Timbuktu His Every Move Was News.

Scotland

Here is my two-bits' worth on the outcome of the Scottish independence vote, tomorrow: They will vote to stay in the UK.

Soccer and Football

Why do so many sports writers keep referring to soccer as football? Soccer may well be football to most of the world, but in Canada, the U.S,, Australia, New Zealand and Ireland football and soccer are two different games.

Securing the U.S./Mexican Border

The children who are flooding over the U.S. Mexican border must be returned to their parents in Central America.

Ronald Reagan's six- year presidency suggestion

The 22nd Amendment could be changed, not to give future presidents three, four or more terms but, as suggested by Ronald Reagan, to elect a president to one six-year term.

National Security

It makes no difference how Stephen Harper restructures the Canadian military.

Free Trade at home

One way to celebrate Canada Day in a meaningful way would be to legislate free-trade among all the provinces and territories. Just do it!

Song of Canada

Of forests great and towering peaks of prairies far and wide O Canada of thee we sing with everlasting pride from coast to coast a treasure trove

Canadian tourist dollars

Do our American friends no longer want our tourist dollars?

Securing the U.S. Mexican Border

The U.S. has thousands of troops based, unnecessarily, abroad. Now that the Cold War is over, there is no need for U.S. troops in Europe, Britain, France and Germany are well able to protect themselves.

Sand Soccer

It's hard to understand why Qatar would be picked to stage a premier soccer game when there are much more suitable places to host it such as Afghanistan, Iran, Syria, North Korea.....

New Canadians

Hear the multi-dialects all around observe the multi-ethnic throng different faces, different races different voices raised in song O Canada they sing with pride in determination to belong.

Ford mania

If the mainline media didn't have Rob and Doug Ford to take up so much of their time they'd have to cover lesser news like wars, famine, terrorism, political corruption, deteriorating infrastructure....

WHY?

Night falls but day breaks. A door can be ajar but a jar can't be a door. A near hit is called a near miss.

U.S. Canada

Those who keep harping on things being cheaper in the U.S than they are in Canada need to put on their thinking caps.
