Read this first. If Mr. Gerrand’s report was truly independent, how did Les Leyne find out the exact date the report will be released? This is a very serious matter. So, I called John vanDongen. AGT: Can you tell me how Leyne would have known that? JVD: Well, sure, I wrote to the Commissioner after [...]

As you all know, I remain adamantly AGAINST the closure, certainly without any reinforcements that will replace the Kits Station. But last week, I noticed, in order of appearance, Vision Vancouver Councillor Kerry Jang, Union overlord Jim Sinclair and left wing PR spinner and pretend reporter Bill Tieleman, all lining up to politicize the closing [...]

Dear Friends: Please join me and radio legend Jim Harrison this morning from 9:08am to 9:30am on CHNL AM 610, or you can listen live by Internet as well, here. We’ll be talking provincial politics, including the rapidly evolving BC Conservative meltdown, Christy’s failure to understand the Enbridge file–among other files, and the NDP’s, for [...]

I have a long standing rule. If it’s enough to make me uncomfortable; it’s definitely not for any child to see. Not mine, not yours. I don’t need to wince. Well before that, I know if an issue or speaker might be inappropriate for a child. It’s called having good judgment, and I’m exceedingly sorry [...]

It was inevitable. A premier embalmed by his government’s own unprecedented corruption, and independents staying home rather than supporting either the raving nationalists or proponents of a united Canada–the die was cast. As big a luminary as Jean Charest was when he entered the lion’s den of Quebec politics, he left, earlier this evening, a [...]

I’m not sure whose playbook the federal Tories are following, but they must be tired of making plans to either suffer a loss in the next election or eke out a minority government. There is no other explanation. Yes, they’ve made some very good decisions generally (solid budget, strong commitment to law and order, etc) [...]

Dear Prime Minister: Ottawa is lovely in spring, isn’t it? The daffodils and the tulips bloom pretty colours of yellow, crimson and violet. The wind off the Rideau retracts its claws and is no longer anything even remotely close to menacing and the skies above, as the days grow longer, turn a pale but rich [...]

I am amazed at the pundits and commentators claiming that the weekend election of Thomas Mulcair as NDP leader–and Leader of Her Majesty’s Loyal Opposition, was a good thing for the Conservative government–that he would ensure another term for the Harper era Tories. It’s not good news at all, and those prognosticators that continue with [...]

On the far wall of my impossibly cluttered office, next to a signed picture of Marlon Brando and above a personally dedicated helmet of football’s most prolific passer, Dan Marino, is a framed column written by the National Post’s incomparable George Jonas. It’s the only news clipping I’ve ever had blown up and framed and ranks [...]

Amid the celebrations, typically Canadian, of the slap on the wrist the Shafia family murderers received yesterday, no one, as yet, has addressed the elephant in the room. How could this have happened in Canada? Oh, we’ve seen crimes of this kind before. A rabid Sikh renegade killing his wife and pretending through crocodile tears [...]
