I'm scheduled to be on 770 Afternoons at around 3:30 (eastern) this afternoon, with Danielle Smith, to talk about my latest National Post column. You can listen live at the link.

A nice comment on iPolitics about my "Why I Can't Vote For the Harper Tories" National Post column, from Michael Harris, who I worked with at CFRA. There's something fishy about him calling me an "old trout" as I don't make a habit of saluting colleagues as "abalone" or "plaice" or other terms associated with aquatic life. But nice otherwise.

I was interviewed by CJAD's Dan Delmar yesterday about my latest National Post column. You can listen to it below.

I'm scheduled to be on CJAD 800 in Montreal this afternoon at 3:35 (Eastern) to talk about my latest National Post column about why I can't vote for the Tories. You can listen live here.

In today’s National Post Tristin Hopper wrote pointedly about the inferior facilities and tours at Canada’s magnificent Vimy Ridge site. He’s right. In fact, in France last April filming a documentary on World War One, I was provoked to record an irritated segment about our feeble official remembrance even compared to some modestly funded French and Belgian museums. I put it aside during the editing process because the documentary was about the war’s importance to  liberty and Western civilization, not my irritation with official Canada’s passion for the bronze. But I’m posting it now because we can and should do better for those who died for our freedom.

In June the CBC asked me for a radio commentary based on a National Post column I’d written on the thoughtless way social conservatives are abused in Canadian public debate. You can listen to it here.

In today’s National Post I argue that as we celebrate Magna Carta we need to understand that its principles aren’t just one way to organize a decent society, they’re the only way.

Earlier today I was on the BBC Wiltshire to talk about Magna Carta. You can listen to the clip here. My segment starts just before the 46-minute mark.
