What a complete and utter mess of a garbage "policy"! Winnipeg's latest fiasco is a textbook example of how not to introduce change. Here's a thought: What if we did our research, developed a comprehensive waste management strategy -- one that cares about the environment as well as the bottom line -- and rolled it out in coherent steps? On second thought, that makes way too much sense. Let's just leave the citizens confused and angry. I've lived in Manitoba for nearly 80 years, and like [Morley Walker], "in my hierarchy of self-identity", being Canadian ranks at the top. I'm grateful that I've been able to live in such a great country, and am very proud of its many assets, including its health care system, and its writers, vocalists, musicians and scientists who've made lasting contribu...

YOU can't fault the Dalai Lama for optimism. I suppose that might come from being the Buddha born-again, the most recent in a long list of reincarnations that makes him the spiritual leader of the Tibetan people, an inspiration of piety and pacifism to people around the world, as well as a huge hit among Hollywood actors -- only Scientology, it seems, appeals to more of these keen intellects than Tibetan Buddhism. Every time, however, the Dalai Lama raises the issue, and he does it frequently, Beijing hammers it -- kind of like diplomatic whack-a-mole. Nevertheless, this week two Tibetan monks arrived in Beijing, sent by their leader to see if the Chinese might agree to open talks. China received them, but also set the Dalai Lama up for the inevitable disappointment.
The only problem is that [Richard Perle] was in France at the time. (Tenet now says he may have got the date wrong.) Liberals have accused Tenet of acting as George W. Bush's whore. Why didn't he resign when he realized that Dick Cheney and his allies were distorting the intelligence? His resignation would surely have derailed a war effort based on the idea that Saddam possessed WMD. And everyone -- left, right and centre -- has accused him of being both whiny and self-serving. Tenet couples all this blame-shifting with relentless complaints about how badly he was treated. Cheney bullied him! Paul Wolfowitz criticized him! Bob Woodward lied about him! (In every interview, Tenet argues that he used the phrase "slam dunk" to describe how easy it would be to make the case for war, not the ...

Canadian policy makers have repeatedly emphasized improving relations with Brazil as a strategic objective in the Americas. Given past failures to cooperate, this objective may be difficult to realize. We argue that one of the reasons for this unrealized relationship between Canada and Brazil within hemispheric institutions is different national approaches to the role and purpose of multilateralism. This argument is advanced through an analysis of national interpretations of each country's engagement with multilateralism, drawing on the local literatures. The paper concludes with a discussion of the prospects and limits of future multilateral cooperation between the two countries, drawing on examples from the Inter-American System.

The Liberal/NDP/Bloc Quebecois coalition may be, as columnist Mark Steyn observed, a horse with three rear ends, but there is still a real possibility, even with a less-than enthusiastic Michael Ignatieff as leader, that it could take power after the vote on the Harper government's budget at the end of January. The reasons are obvious: the New Democratic Party has always been soft on defence and has historically trafficked in anti-Americanism; the Bloc has used anti-Americanism when it suited its purposes which include pacifism and neutralism; and elements of the Liberals, up to and including foreign ministers and prime ministers, have not ordinarily been interested in the Canadian Forces and, when it suited party purposes, deliberately played the anti-American card. This has serious im...

When, two months ago, two Canadian CF-18 fighter jets turned away two Russian TU-95 Bear bombers approaching Canada's Arctic shore, followed in short order by Defence Minister Peter MacKay repeating a $9-billion plan (or is it $16-billion) to buy 65 F-35 joint strike fighter jets to "meet the threats of the 21st century," I laughed my socks off. At RAF Leuchars in the 1960s, we had a fully armed Lightning interceptor, with duty pilot, waiting 24-7 in a shed at the end of the runway, tasked to be "airborne, wheels up" within three minutes of northern radar picking up a Russian Bison or Bear bomber approaching western airspace.
