Between two towers of ivory make,
Sits a city, a village, an island state.
The wizards of those towers, each other they hate,
Throwing barbs, and knives with mischievous haste.
This war has raged on, it is centuries late,
And in the middle we lay, continuing to wait.
But our patience wears thin, and our souls, they ache,
It’s time to move on, and [...]
Let me tell you a story. In 1953, my father’s father - Grandpa Costa - came to Canada with his brothers. They took a boat from Piraeus, Athens, Greece, across the Atlantic and landed in Halifax. Then they took the train from Halifax and got off in Montreal. Why Montreal and not Toronto? They had [...]
Have the Harper Conservatives forgotten about the whole “small government” and “don’t spend so much” position conservative governments are supposed to take?
A $64 billion deficit over two years?! That’s… That’s… I don’t know what to say!

I can’t say I’ve ever really liked him as a politician. As an academic, he’s great. I think I’ve even cited him in some of my papers. But for some reason, Iggy and I weren’t seeing eye-to-eye on a few things.
But strangely enough, I feel compelled to give him the benefit of the doubt. I [...]
Jean Charest quietly worked his way to a majority this evening. It was interesting to see that he had at one point reached a seat count in the low 70s, which would have given him a pretty decent majority, but he ended the night with 66 - a 3 seat majority. It’s slim, but it’ll [...]
Michael Bliss has a great article in today’s National Post.
Bliss makes the point that Canadian politicians don’t learn from the mistakes of the past. He compares the Meech Lake fiasco with the Coalition. The basic element that Canadian politicians forget: the will of the Canadian people.
Now I’m sure at least one reader here will take [...]
Ok, so I joined Amazon Associates - they let me refer books on the site.
Basically, I’m thinking this Christmas is going to be a book Christmas. Not enough people read anymore. At least not for pleasure (my treasured blog readers excepted, of course!).
So I’ve got a list of recommended books that appear on the sidebar [...]
The site needed a change. Voilà!
Michael Igantieff just said that Jim Karygiannis is unworthy of his caucus.
JIM!!! Join the Conservatives!!!
