Easter hires a new staffer
Solicitor General Wayne Easter recently hired a new legislative assistant. Meredith Naylor joined Mr. Easter’s office as legislative assistant last month. Before Ms. Naylor joined the office, Ken Moreau, senior policy adviser to Mr. Easter, was performing the duties of legislative assistant. A native of Pictou, N.S., Ms. Naylor received her BA in English from […]
Martin’s choice
Originally, when the Ottawa Citizen, to its credit, broke the story on Feb. 17 that multimillionaire and Liberal leadership candidate Paul Martin had been briefed over the years by the Prime Minister’s ethics counsellor while he was finance minister on his multinational shipping company, Canada Steamship Lines, The Hill Times thought the story said more […]
What does Martin think?
While there has been widespread coverage of Liberal MP Carolyn Parrish’s ignorant anti-American outburst – part of a shameful crescendo of similar insults being hurled at our neighbours by Liberals – there has been one glaring oversight. To wit: what does Prime-Minister-in-waiting Paul Martin think of all this? Not to mention Sheila Copps and John […]
Canada-U.S. name-calling
Regarding last week’s letter to the editor “Parrish’s lack of upbringing” (The Hill Times, March 3). Would someone please remind letter-writer Gene M. Simon of Williamsville, N.Y. that Canadians were fighting Hitler (and dying) for two years before the United States decided to get in the game, and then, only because of Pearl Harbour, and […]
It’s a phoney baloney world, I tell ya
TORONTO–What an interesting political year 2003 is shaping up to be, what with upcoming municipal and provincial elections and the changes of leadership at the federal level. But to get an idea of how freakishly phony and hypocritical this business can be, just take a look at the crowd at last week’s Heritage Dinner, the […]
It’s personal now: Parrish’s appalling comments
WASHINGTON, D.C.– “Damn Americans. I hate those bastards.” Liberal MP Carolyn Parrish This really should be a “more in sorrow than in anger” column. Somewhere there should be a residual memory that a diplomat, even an ancien diplomat , speaks and writes in modulated tones expressing regret for misunderstanding. We should respond in calm dulcet […]
Young Turk finds new Tory home…
A decade ago, a young university student by the name of Genevieve Breton was working away in junior jobs in the office of then Prime Minister Brian Mulroney. Today, the recently married Genevieve Breton-O’Brien is press secretary for Peter MacKay’s Tory leadership campaign. In the intervening years she has led an interesting life in political […]
Right back at you Canada
Regarding Liberal MP Carolyn Parrish’s comments about Americans being bastards. Shame on a lady using that language. We, in America, have an old saying. It takes one to know one. It is comments like these people in the government of Canada, that the people of the U.S.A. do not take seriously. Orville K. Hatfield Regarding […]
Canada’s respectable compromise
OTTAWA–While some decried Canada’s policy on the Iraq crisis as fence-sitting, it is ultimately being viewed as seeking a respectable compromise. The Canadian proposal currently circulating at the United Nations, especially among Security Council members, is asking the world community to consider imposing a March 28 deadline for Iraqi President Saddam Hussein to completely disarm […]
What does Martin think?
Francie Ducros uses the ‘M’ word. Carolyn Parrish uses the ‘B’ word. Give the Liberals enough time and soon they will use every letter in the alphabet. Carolyn Parrish supports Paul Martin. Are we to assume that Mr. Martin and Ms. Parrish’s ilk are of the same mind when it comes to hating the Americans? […]
