Kudos to PM Stephen Harper for his staunch defence of Israel during the current crisis. While many of the world’s leaders are doing the politically correct thing by criticizing the military action Harper has taken a decidedly realistic approach. In fact he met British PM Tony Blair ahead of the G8 Summit and the two [...]

Well blow me down. People who read this blog as well as those folks who know me personally know of my strong distaste of the United Nations. In my opinion they have become an anemic, insignificant and irrelevant organization dominated by 2-bit thugs and dictators. You’ll never guess who else had some rather harsh words [...]
