Why is Germany exporting natural gas with no economic reason? Meanwhile, a government grant for a costly battery plant raises eyebrows.
A Paradox
A Good Start
I’d be more impressed by anti-Christian Civil Service protesters if they insisted on working on Good Friday.
What Have We Become?
Canada’s economy is in a sorry state: we can’t afford a navy, and our culture is the butt of jokes!
Nominations for Worst Prime Minister Ever
Though his son is contesting the title of ‘Worst Prime Minster Ever,’ Pierre Trudeau is the winner and will probably defeat all aspiring incompetents for decades. He made many lousy policy decisions that had immediate damage, but for the worst decision, the damage has emerged over the decades.
Will Quebec’s Demands Never End?
Population determines the number of Parliamentary seats a province is entitled to claim.
Canadians move back and forth and around the country. New immigrants select where in the country they want to live. Provincial populations change all the time. Therefore, the Parliamentary seats allocated to each Province should change as well.

Those who think they can stop nature and put a pin in the world’s climate and keep it from changing are the real ‘climate change deniers.’ They believe in the impossible proposition that mankind can stop climate change.
Who was invited?
On a recent road trip we visited the Revelstoke Railway Museum. It is almost as good as the Cranbrook Railway Museum.
As we entered the gift shop, we were confronted with a very post-modern Canadian sign. It set forth the usual acknowledgement to a local Indian tribe and noted, the land was ‘unceded,’ still owned by them. As usual, the casual affirmation that the Indians still owned the land, was legally and practically meaningless.
It Takes a Teacher
A recent Provincial Teachers’ Union billboard campaign is themed, “It Takes a Teacher.”
The campaign begs the question; It Takes a Teacher …to do what?
Hiring Practices
I fear for the host of a CBC classical music program.
While driving, I stumbled on CBC and some classical music.
The announcer, in his best FM voice, described the piece to be played next. It was by a Hungarian composer and conductor who lived in Germany and Hungary in the mid-1930s. The announcer told the story of this man.
Canadian Freedoms
I am coming to believe that many Canadians do not value freedom. They do not attach any importance to a right to demonstrate or speak their minds.
