Mixing Politics and Religion
If you needed an example of why politics and religion don’t mix, this past week is a prime example. It started with Parks Canada pulling the permit for a concert for an American Christian worship leader aligned with Donald Trump’s MAGA movement, and snowballed into multiple permit revocations in different Canadian cities. I should point […]
The Gaza Question
First it was the French, then the British. Unless Israel agrees to a ceasefire in Gaza, they will recognize Palestinian statehood. Leaving aside the issue of the legalities of recognizing a territory with no government, this pretty much precludes an end to hostilities. Why would the Palestinians agree to end to their fighting now that […]
Canceling Colbert

The Truth Hurts
I never want to admit that this is my – but from time to time…. How about you?
The Golden Rule
This cartoon reminded me of a scene from the Monty Python film Life of Brian, where some in the crowd mishear and then misinterpret Jesus when he was speaking what we now call the Sermon on the Mount. I’ve only seen otters in the zoo, where they can be very entertaining. I’m not sure if […]
