With all due respect to cabinet ministers: you folks come and go. Limousines and expense accounts notwithstanding, most of you are forgettable. Sorry. But Prime Ministers are a different matter. You only get one Prime Minister per government. Theirs are the names inscribed on history’s pages. Your team’s fate, good or bad, is inescapably tied to the PM. In our system of government, no one else matters nearly as much. Which is why the job of every Minister and staffer is prett

I'm a laugh-cry guy. This thing makes me laugh-cry every time I see it.

• Amazon has it at number one again - see above - on a couple of their lists. Grateful for that. • The excerpting of the book in The Free Press - circulation, two million, give or take - has kicked off all kinds of interest for it in the U.S. Grateful for that, as well. • The Australian, the biggest paper down under, plans to excerpt it as well. Grateful, Aussies. • The documentary The Campaign, based on the book, is getting its debut at the Tel Aviv International Documentary

Why is Palestine Action allowed to operate in Canada? Why? It’s an important question. A British court this week heard about what Palestine Action did on August 6, 2024. On that date, red-suited members of Palestine Action broke into Israeli-owned Elbit Systems in Bristol, England. They’d broken in using a decommissioned prison van as a battering ram, in the middle of the night. The prosecutor, Deanna Heer KC, told Woolwich Town Court: “Inside the warehouse, they set about de

Today Kari Hollend and I are excited and honoured to share that our documentary, The Campaign, will have its world premier at the @docaviv Film Festival in Tel Aviv, taking place May 28-June 5. We will be there for it, too. The Campaign is a documentary that pulls back the curtain on modern information warfare: how narratives are manufactured, how division is monetized, and how digital propaganda is shaping the world we live in. What began as a film about strategy and influe

[It’s no accident that Hamas-inspired viewpoints have captured a generation. The terrorist group’s operatives rank among the most sophisticated users of social media in the world. The rise of antisemitism and anti-American sentiment across the West is something we’ve covered extensively at The Free Press in recent years. New incidents emerge almost daily; last night, anti-Israel protesters gathered near Park East Synagogue in Manhattan, waving Hezbollah flags and chanting “Se

From Adam Marks, podcaster and Boston guy. I really thought he got it. (Not the bestseller part, though!) "An altogether unsurprising but still brutal, devastating, and painfully numbing book to read, The Hidden Hand details the massive, clandestine, and decades-long virulently antisemitic propaganda campaign that is being waged against the State of Israel and the Jewish people, and that there is no doubt a “hidden hand” — Iran, Qatar, China, Russia, Hamas, etc. — that are pu

On November 4, 1993, my then-boss, Jean Chretien, was sworn in as Prime Minister of Canada. He posed for some pictures, met with his cabinet, and then he did two things. They were the first big decisions he made. He went into his new office and he cancelled a $6 billion helicopter contract. And then he cancelled a deal the Conservative Party had made to privatize Terminals 1 and 2 at Pearson Airport in Toronto. Took a pen, signed the papers. Boom. Gone. The cancellation of t
