Unflappable

Mark doesn’t like our flag – and the party behind it.

On the other hand, an unflyable flag is perhaps the very essence of the concept of Canada. I say that in part because I’ve never really cared for the Maple Leaf. If I had my way I’d go back to the Red Ensign, but even on this doughty publication I’ll bet the chaps aren’t that conservative.

Frum on Martin

I like Frum’s entry on Martin – on how he says and does nothing.

First in his campaign for the prime ministership – and, amazingly, in the six months that have passed since he became prime minister – Martin has achieved a near-perfect record of avoidance of any stance on any issue whatsoever. He has introduced no significant legislation in parliament and delivered a series of speeches remarkable for the nearly perfect purity of their lack of content.

Ode to the family

Since our government appears to be slave to the UN, perhaps they’ll do something substantive to encourage families and their prosperity.

Thus, if our government wishes to strengthen the Canadian economy, diminish social problems, and improve living conditions, it must recognize that strengthening the family is a primary means to achieve these objectives.
