MY FRIDAY PROVINCE COLUMN


will appear in Sunday's paper.


Don't ask.

Lies and Bribes - And this is New, How?


Like many Canadians, my cynicism about political life has become so deep and thorough that the Cadman bribery story has hit me like a major yawn.


How sad is that?


Yes, by all means, investigate, probe, poke, study.


The real question is this:


What will it take for me to believe again in some basic level of honor and integrity in the entire crapheap of politics?


Darned if I know the answer.

The Law of Unintended Consequences


Headline: More Americans Behind bars than ever.


Lest we think Yanquis are taking up mixology at an alarming rate, the sub-heading provides instant clarity: Report finds 1 in 100 US adults is in custody.


AT LEAST THAT'S ONE WAY TO GET HEALTH CARE.
