The rooster crowed three times … Which doesn’t hold a candle to the cock who crowed 13 times (in English, didn’t count the French) on Thursday morning about ripping up the NDP-Liberal pre-nup that has kept Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s minority government in trembly power for the last 30 months.
They shoot presidents in America, don’t they? And former presidents. And ex-presidents taking a second run at the White House.
Justin Trudeau is a witless for the prosecution. The prime minister could, if he chose, disclose at least the most pertinent details that have been dangled with maddening obfuscation about foreign meddling in Canadian affairs. This is information that surely would be of keen interest to the citizenry.
It’s troubling how willingly some societies will forsake civil liberties in the name of a purportedly greater or more urgent cause. Because there are very few, if any, really, in a liberal democracy which eclipse precious rights of freedom of speech, assembly and beliefs. Even what most of us might condemn as outrageous expression or heretical — hateful —
One potato two potato three potato four … Two weeks after South Africa submitted its brief to the International Court of Justice accusing Israel of genocide in Gaza, long after many key allies of the Jewish state condemned the bid as grossly distorted and without merit, and hours after the hearing at The Hague had concluded, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau...

That there is a common humanity, at least a vestige of...
So much hate out there. So much hurt out there. Which are not the same thing. The law can’t prevent anyone from saying hurtful things, words that cut to the bone, and that is how it must be in a democracy that enshrines free speech. But a lot easier said when the invective isn’t aimed at you. When it is...
Why the massive anti-Israel protests that engulfed major cities — including Toronto — on the weekend were beyond the pale.
Terrorists. Terrorists. Terrorists. Sadly, it does bear repeating apparently, to call Hamas what it is. Already — actually within hours — the barbaric and terrorist incursion into Israel a fortnight ago, the butchery of men, women, babies and the elderly, has been transformed into an act of justifiable resistance to the occupation of Gaza.
