“Kim Campbell… named by the National Geographic Society as one of history’s 50 ‘most important’ political leaders…. on a list … in a new reference book – the Almanac of World History, recently published by the society … ‘It’s ridiculous,’ says Michael Bliss… But … ‘Given that there have not been that many females who have led nations, we chose to include her,’ says Jane Sunderland, a project manager at the Washington D.C.-based society, who says she ‘stands by the choice’ of the book’s authors.… ‘I don’t think Kim Campbell should even make a list of great Canadian leaders,’ he [James Marsh, editor-in-chief of The Canadian Encyclopedia] says. ‘She was the first and only (female) prime minister of Canada – and that’s stretching her accomplishments to the limit.’… the Almanac says nothing about her legacy except that she is a woman….

In my latest Loonie Politics column I say that a Democratic party that deceived us and itself for years about Biden’s senility is unfit to govern, while mainstream media that participated in the deceit are unfit to report.

In my latest Epoch Times column I ask how even Canada’s Department of National Defence, or lack of same, can be baffled at what it takes to make a standard 155mm artillery shell.

In my latest Loonie Politics column I can no longer avoid asking a question that once seemed crazy: Is the Prime Minister of Canada actively assisting powers hostile to this country, from ideological or personal motives?

In my latest Epoch Times column, I advise Canada’s hapless foreign minister on dealing with real, actual, menacing tyrants who don’t share her amorphous woke attitudes.

“As the Chinese proverb says: Unless we change direction, we will likely end up where we are headed.”

In my latest Epoch Times column I say the key issue in the next Canadian federal election has to be: “How can we become a reliable security partner for our Western allies?”

In my latest Loonie Politics column I say the secretive bungling of basic security at the National Microbiology Lab in Winnipeg is a case study in complacent bad government in Canada.
