I believe this is a bad thing for country and while many politicos may prefer ideological purity,… Continue reading Hollowing out of the middle and why that is a bad thing

Pierre Poilievre is basing his whole campaign around Canada being freest country on earth. I have also noticed recently we are seeing more and more, at least on social media, but even in public say its a violation of my freedom as a way to oppose any rule even if they make a lot of… Continue reading Freedom and right wing version of it

I am not totally surprised as I think too many refused to take Putin's claim the worst catastrophe in the 20th century was dissolution of USSR at face value. Putin clearly wants to rebuild the old USSR and he cannot stand… Continue reading Russian invasion of Ukraine

A caucus revolt is happening and there is a very high probability that O'Toole is gone as Conservative leader by week's end and party is back in a leadership race.
