Cornwall ON – It’s fascinating to watch the Tamil issue unfold, yet sadly the situation is similar to the arrival of the first boatloads of Tamils (1986) and Sikhs (1987). I say this based on first hand experience as back then I was the Chief of Staff to Gerry Weiner,Continue Reading
Cornwall ON – When is a word a word? When is it a weapon? Is it the word itself or how it’s used, or simply who is using it? Dr. Laura, or as she’s known in real life Laura Schlessinger. Known for years as a “Doctor”, Ms Schlessinger hasContinue Reading
Cornwall ON – So I was listening to John Bolton on AM 1220 this morning and he started ranting about Global Warming or Climate Change. It’s amazing how people like John; akin to those that as late as the 90’s still argued that smoking didn’t cause cancer, still disbelieveContinue Reading
Cornwall ON – Coffee. Millions of people drink it and millions drink it in coffee shops. Now not everyone uses a drive thru or just hits and runs. A lot of people like to read, work, or just hang out. Coffee shops in many ways haveContinue Reading
Cornwall ON – Two recent polls have showed the Liberals closing the gap between themselves and the Conservatives. Polls are always interesting of course but become more important if over time they show a distinct trend emerging. So far we haven’t seen that. Now if the polls in September areContinue Reading
Cornwall ON – Sometimes you’re only as good as the person pulling your strings in Politics. It’s funny, especially in the Western world how much we attribute to a leader. For example does anyone really think George W Bush actually could spell policy never mind actually conceptualize one andContinue Reading
Cornwall ON – Tony Clement had an opportunity to perform today in front of the Industry Committee. One thing that can be said for Clement is that he is always well prepared, knows his files and it’s hard to trip him up. In addition, he always surrounds himself with highlyContinue Reading
Cornwall ON – I don’t know why so many people don’t think about our healthcare system until it’s too late. Either they or someone they love are the victim of the short comings and decline of Medicare. I firmly stand on the opinion that we are not being well servedContinue Reading
Cornwall ON – The latest round in the census story has seen the Chief Statistician resign. While not an earth shattering event for the general public, who probably didn’t even know the position existed until yesterday, it helps to feed the media line of a government in crisis.

Cornwall ON – There’s a trend in politics of passing the buck, especially in some potentially dynamic issues. Don’t want to ask for a raise? Form a committee to come up with a solution. Don’t want to tackle a tough issue? Form a committee. Well people in CornwallContinue Reading
Cornwall ON – Let me get this right. The National Congress of Chinese Canadians (NCCC) wants a meeting with CSIS head Richard Fadden to seek an apology for comments he didn’t make.

Cornwall ON – As summer returns to Canada, Liberal MPs have scrambled for the exits and fled our capital city. No doubt they will be doing a lot of navel gazing this summer and probably a lot of plotting too. Liberals will have a chance to review their very dismalContinue Reading
Cornwall ON – The last week has seen a few changes deep within the Prime Minister’s Office. I will begin by saying that staff changes at this time of the year are not unusual as the House has recessed for the summer. Nor is PMO immune from this happening asContinue Reading
