Horrific

I can’t recall, in all my years, a traffic accident taking so many lives.  This is just horrible.  Say a prayer for those left behind.


“Yesterday’s Man” – not

I’m on the back stretch of the new book, and have hit a bit of a research roadblock.  I am looking for any and all articles containing commentary about the photo of this young man water skiing, way back on the Canada Day long weekend in 1993.  There is surprisingly little I can find.  Anyone who can help will get my thanks, and a mention in Fight the Right!


In today’s Sun: the axis of evil isn’t what it used to be

Here’s the truth.

It couldn’t have been a very good political fundraiser: None of us can now recall who was speaking. Most likely, it was a Conservative — because we were exiled to the furthest corner in the room, with some of the other Liberals in attendance.

While the speaker wasn’t at all memorable, the pleasant woman at our table was. She was employed by a mortgage broker association. Asked what was new in her field of work, she said: “Subprime mortgages. We’re quite worried about them. If things unfold the way we think they might, it could be very, very bad.”

How bad? she was asked.

“They could cause a new recession, we think,” she said.
