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.

But strangely enough, I feel compelled to give him the benefit of the doubt. I [...]
It’s too bad the Liberals don’t have anyone like this anymore:
I like Bob Rae - seems like a nice guy - but this whole unite the left thing is a bit too much for me. Michael Ignatieff… I’m not a fan. There’s something about him I can’t trust.
To be quite honest, I think Dominic LeBlanc [...]
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 [...]
Just got this in my inbox from the PMO:
Prime Minister Stephen Harper will be honoured today in New York City by the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, which is presenting him with its first-ever International Leadership Award. Minister of State of Foreign Affairs (Americas) Peter Kent will attend the reception and awards [...]
