Sex and the modern military, civilians just don’t get it: disgraced Canadian Commodore Eric Lerhe shows Forces willing to waste talent
In one sense the case of Commodore Eric Lerhe is more pathetic than politically correct. Certainly Playboy and Penthouse, if not the raunchier specimens of the genre, are part of the growing up experience of young males.

When on the road, I often watch television commercials on CNN. The other day, during a visit to our national capital and watching commercials, a program interrupted my vigil. The program was called Ask CNN, purportedly, I gathered, an information source of last resort for viewers who find themselves factually challenged. The question of the […]
Liberals must ensure phony clubs don’t ruin leadership race: many Liberal student clubs exist only on paper, and are entirely controlled by a single organizer
A recent National Post article detailing allegations of “dirty tricks” in the unofficial race to succeed Jean Chretien has Liberals buzzing, particularly since it delved into the dirty world of youth politics. But although Joan Bryden’s piece might have opened the eyes of some observers, it didn’t even scratch the surface in terms of the […]

Let’s stop blaming the Americans for our own shortcomings: starting a trade war with the US would be a disaster
