Events happening in the US provide a fulcrum – or a crutch, if you will – for discussing major issues of Canada. At such times, it feels like we haven’t attained the age of maturity as a country, and therefore must depend on examples and ideas from external sources for informing our views on issues that matter to us as a society. It is therefore natural that the posturing by politicians, media and others in the wake of news of events in the US appears juvenile.

Independent voices are more important than ever in today’s Canada. I am happy to add my voice to the public discussions on current issues & policy, and grateful for all the encouraging response from my listeners & readers. I do not believe in a Paywall model, so will not make access to my content subject to a payment.
