Well now... Enjoyed listening to this testy exchange on #CBC Front Burner between Jayme Poisson and Wab Kinew as WK calls out JP on her journalistic bias.. (@ 14:30 mark) www.cbc.ca/player/play/... I kinda feel Wab Kinew is the voice of unity #Canada needs right now. Bless this man.

Have his book "The Great War For Civilisation". It's a tough slog and a heavy read, but this quote stuck out for me: "War is primarily not about victory or defeat, but about death and the infliction of death. It represents the total failure of the human spirit"
