The situation leading up to the UN Palestine vote is fascinatingly indeterminate.
Former Ontario Premier Ernie Eves is miffed. Some of the old Tory gang in Ontario is being ousted by brash, populist, extreme right-wingers. When Norm Sterling, a sitting MPP, was ousted in a primary by Jack MacLaren, what happened to Stirling "was not very polite, was not fair, it was not loyal, it was not compassionate, it was not even and it was not honest." Wow!

The U.S. Embassy recently sponsored a talk in Ottawa by Dr. Garry Slutkin, an epidemiologist who heads an anti-violence project in Chicago called Cease Fire.

In 1980, Pierre Trudeau defeated Joe Clark's bumbling regime and formed a new Liberal government. However, he faced a serious problem constructing his cabinet. The voters of western Canada showed they did not much like the prime minister who had taunted them with the question, "Why should I sell your wheat?"
Dear Abe Foxman: In your lengthy article Decade of Deceit: Anti-Semitic 9/11 Conspiracy Theories 10 Years Later, you label a number of named writers and commentators including me who say that Israel’s Mossad was or even might have been involved in the 9/11 terror attack as anti-Semitic, and you assert that they are demonizing “the Jews”.
The death of Atiyah Abd al-Rahman in an Aug. 22 drone attack in Pakistan was a crucial blow to the core group that once surrounded Osama bin Laden, according to U.S. intelligence officials.
There is an interesting phenomenon which we can call "the political retiree's confession." I don't mean all those hyped memoirs, ghost written for all manner of high-ranking ex-officials.
