Tea Party Tim Trashes US President Obama – Snubs Bruins White House Celebrations – January 25, 2012

CFN – We owe Tea Party Tim Thomas a debt of gratitude.   It’s a slow week in the NHL.  No major news out there as the All Star break approaches.  Nobody really cares about the All Star game so Mr. Thomas deciding to be a totally classless human being is making the news far [...]

Ezra Levant – Friend of China, but Foe to Canadians by Richard Komorowski – December 31, 2011

Putting the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers above Canada CFN – There are many economic gains to be made in exploiting the Tar Sands, and limited production could actually benefit Canada and go a little towards assuring our future in an increasingly uncertain world.

Letter to the Editor – Joe Hueglin of Niagara Falls Ontario on Egypt, Syria, and Iran  – December 28, 2011

Dear Editor, In a year end interview with Prime Minister Harper this was reported regarding Syria “He doesn’t foresee a military intervention in the near future because there is not ­ as there was with Libya ­ a United Nations resolution authorizing such action.” Strangely though Egypt and Syria were included in the interview article, [...]

Komorowski’s Korner – Ezra Levant and the Ethics & Politics of Oil – December 23, 2011

CFN – Prime Minister Stephen Harper, along with his government, owe sophist (someone who argues with shrewd but intentionally fallacious reasoning) Ezra Levant a star columnist for Sun Media and the Glenn Beck Fox News North) big time, and are starting to repay the debt.

Are you Mad as Hell and Not Going to Take it Anymore?  Justin Trudeau seems to be?  Editorial by Jamie Gilcig – December 18, 2011

CFN –  Justin Trudeau sparked a storm of media coverage this week when he called Harper MP Peter Kent a “Piece of Shit” in Parliament.   It reminded people of his Dad’s “Fuddle Duddle” remark, but it hits certain notes of frustration that millions of people are feeling around the world.

Letter to the Editor – Rebecca Gingrich of Princeton Ontario on the Military Industrial Complex – August 11, 2011

Dear Editor, How much more evil can we become?  We get upset and ourtraged when a few protesters smash store windows and burn police cars but have no concept of how we are allowing our governments to perpetrate this death and destruction on innocent people in our name, with no accountability, except some smarmy words [...]

Unrest in UK, Syria, China, Spain, Portugal and other places – We need more balance and common sense – Editorial by Jamie Gilcig

1984 Happening in China? Is Canada Next? Chinese Artist Ai Weiwei, Writers, Human Right’s Lawyers, and Bloggers Detained Over Jasmine Revolution – April 4, 2011

1984 Happening in China?  Is Canada Next?  Chinese Artist Ai Weiwei, Writers, Human Right’s Lawyers, and Bloggers Detained Over Jasmine Revolution – April 4, 2011

Muammar Gaddafi Vows to Fight to End in Libya – Editorial by Jamie Gilcig – March 20, 2011 – Cornwall Ontario

Cornwall ON – As I watch events unfold in Libya it’s like watching the movie Scarface.    Oliver Stone wrote the script which was directed by Brian DiPalma and in which Al Pacino will probably be more remembered than for his role in The Godfather. Lines like “Say Hello to my Little Friend” have been [...]
