• Do you get angry when the United Nations comes out with a report condemning a free democracy while giving the tyrants of the world a free pass?
• Sick and tired of politicians and "human rights" covering up for for terrorists while thumbing their noses at the soldiers fighting the bad guys?

Canadian sacrifices and Beijing’s looming shadow

A conversation with Terry Glavin, author of Come from the Shadows: The Long and Lonely Struggle for Peace in Afghanistan and co-founder of the Canada-Afghanistan Solidarity Committee

There can be little argument that Canadian troops have played a critical role in Afghanistan, whether driving the Taliban out of Kandahar or providing training to Afghan security forces and helping rebuild needed infrastructure.

I'm sure that when they say, "Death to America", what they really mean is that America needs to get beyond the lethal political gridlock that has killed our public discourse and embrace a more positive approach. So wise. So generous with their advice.

I really wish America was more like Pakistan. It must be just lovely over there.More >>
