A cornucopia of comment from Canadaâs most opinionated man â a man seen, read, and listened to by millions of Canadians each week.
Canadaâs most distinctive commentator presents his fearless and thought-provoking views on a head-spinning range of subjects, from Dr. Johnsonâs greatness to Bonoâs gratingness, from doubts about Obama to utter belief in Don Cherry, from Aleksandr Solzhenitsynâs outstanding oeuvre to â well, Pamela Anderson.
The topics are as eclectic and wide ranging as the intelligence that put them together. The perspective is thoroughly Canadian, and so are many of the recurring topics and themes: of our domestic politics and our military involvements abroad, of our national identity, of human rights and human decency. Youâll find assessments of the reputations of Paul Martin, Conrad Black, Adrienne Clarkson, and Tim Hortons; tough but affectionate views of Newfoundland â of course â but also from Rex Murphyâs constant travels across Canada.
But all the world is here, in all its glory and folly. The hard-hitting attacks on politicians, celebrities, those who would ban smoking, and anyone who uses the expression âglobal warming denialâ will have you cheering or tearing your hair out, depending. You will be informed, infuriated perhaps, but always fascinated.
