I really haven't liked any of her previous works or interviews, but I had the opportunity to read her interview in Macleans. It caused me to think twice about her - I saw her as a radical anti-capitalist "hippie" but in her interview she changed my mind.
The interview can be found here:

Do yourself a favour and check it out. She talks about mixed market capitalism and how its beneficial to all as it promotes hard-work, economic expansion, and social justice.
This is the type of political discourse we need here in Canada and the rest of the Western World.

Its Easy To Bash the Dead
http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20070905/mulroney_intvu1_070905/20070905?hub=TopStories
Mulroney is being daft again - Canada's worst former Prime Minster who is in the midst of his history being raked over the coals has decided for no reason to bash Trudeau, the most bashed man in Canadian politics. Now when the man was alive and able to defend himself thats one thing. However, The Rt. Hon. P.E. Trudeau sadly is dead, and in no position to defend himself. History can be twisted, but the essence of man does not, and cannot change. PET's essence was Canada itself.
If we went though Meech, we would be letting Canada go with a whimper. One only needs to look at Belgium to see what Meech like results would have given us, that country is on the verge of splitting into pieces. Trudeau saved Canada from that. We've survived separatism and the federation is strong.
Mr. Mulroney shut your mouth and spend the time defending yourself. You are just bitter that Canadians love Trudeau while they revile at your name.
Vive les Canada!

Another Improptu Visit to Iraq
My goodness it seems Uncle George has been a busy man. After loosing his most talented advisor and press secretary, Dubya has made another secret mission to Iraq.
Surprised? I'm not when there is bad news its easy to charm the media by having the Commander-in-Chief visiting the front. It's distracted you from the stumbling US Economy, even just for a second, no?
Kudos to Bush, he has pulled the wool over the eyes of Americans once again.
Well I suppose, That's My Bush!

And then a step to the right
If you want to go to Europe, head down the Political Highway and turn right.
It seems that Europe is on the verge of becoming a conservative utopia. It all started in 2005 when Angela Merkel became Chancellor of Germany.
Now in 2007 we look to France when Nicolas Sarkozy is now President, and has as of today formed a Majority Parliament.
One can only wonder if Tony Blair replacement Gordon Brown is next on the chopping block, and if Britain is ready for Prime Minister David Cameron....

A Summer of Discontent
I've been watching CPAC with my last couple of months available to lay about. The Hill has become a dury place of which nothing substantial occurs; except for 308 MPs releasing enough verbal pollution to warrant an International Climate Change conference.
PM Harper is the more partisan then Jean Chretien; though the latter had a majority and didn't need to be. However, it is usually the Opposition hurling insults across to the Government benches who take it (sorry for being politically incorrect) like men. However, this time its Harper (and lackeys) hurling them at the Opposition.
I'd like to see productive work being done; even its by a party I don't support. If something is good for Canada I'll support it regardless of party. I haven't seen it from Harper, and he'll pay dearly when he fails to win a majority or the next election.
