“If you are patient in one moment of anger, you will escape a hundred days of sorrow.”
“Chinese proverb” quoted in “Social Studies” in Globe & Mail May 9, 2008
“Is the normal human need, the normal human condition, higher or lower than those special states of the soul which call out a doubtful and dangerous glory? Those special powers of knowledge or sacrifice which are made possible only by the existence of evil? Which should come first to our affections, the enduring sanities of peace or the half-maniacal virtues of battle? Which should come first, the man great in the daily round or the man great in emergency? Which should come first, to return to the enigma before me, the grocer or the chemist”

In my latest Loonie Politics column I say even more worrying than the WE scandal antics is the public sector insouciantly taking massive paid leaves and giving itself big raises during the private sector pandemic crisis.
In my latest Epoch Times column I say the exceptionally rude rhetoric Chinese “diplomats” are aiming even at the United States suggests that this ugly regime thinks its time to strike has come.
