A New Found Respect for Naomi Klein

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

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!
