On October 7, 2023 Palestinians invaded Israel and slaughtered civilians. Israel is a very small country. To understand the impact of that day, imagine it happening somewhere else.

If you believe that Israel is a “settler colonial state” then you must agree that has it the same legitimacy as other states on “conquered land” such as the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand plus most states in the Caribbean, Central & South America and many in Asia and Africa. Right?

Season ten man. SEASON TEN. Apparently we've done something like 120 episodes and nearly every one of them nearly killed me.

The word "genocide" was coined to describe the extermination of 40% of the world's Jews (6 million) in the early 1940s. Today, some call 50,000 civilian deaths in the Gaza war "genocide." Why? Because it so offensive to Jews. Calling Gaza "a genocide" is anti-Semitic. That's the point of the word.

Trump is not representative of a majority of American opinion or its dominant values. America is in the grip of a mad king. Much of the blame rests with cynical enablers in the GOP, Congress, media and the funding elite, who profit from Trump’s cruel and corrupt circus.

The world has lost Wendell Berry. He was a craftsman with words, and among the most wise and prescient of philosophers. Berry would say, rightly, that it is the nature of all beings to pass on. But he has earned himself a place in eternity too. He lit the torch. We must carry it on.

The passing of Dolly Parton brings genuine sadness to my family. We all liked her. Ms. Parton was a compassionate, intelligent and classy person, whose talent and work ethic served her well as a songwriter, vocalist, actor and businessperson over 6 decades. She made people happy.

We cannot win a punching match with the USA. In a one-sided struggle, the smaller combatant must fight back asymmetrically. Canada must startle the U.S. with small, sharp shocks of unexpected pain. Get Americans’ attention and enlist THEM in our struggle against Trump.

It is appropriate to feel compassion for Joe Biden as he suffers illness, while rightly faulting him for his role in restoring Trump to power.

The word “genocide” was coined to describe the systematic murder of 6 million Jews. To mis-use it to describe Israel’s defensive war, that has killed perhaps 1-2% of Gaza’s civilian population, is inherently anti-Semitic. Serious people should stop uttering this ugly smear.

In response to incessant carping about Andy Burnham "having no mandate" I refer everyone in the British press and commentariat to the facts: since 1900, two-thirds of UK Prime Ministers have come to office in-between general elections.

Lindsay Graham’s domestic politics were wrongheaded, and his surrender to ambition was pathetic. He had the capacity for goodness, but betrayed himself. He was the definition of a tortured soul. May he rest in peace. An object lesson for all of us.

Trump's "deal" with Iran, which amounts to paying Iran not to be bombed anymore, is as predictable as the sunrise. Anyone who believed that Donald Trump would stand by Israel, was delusional. To quote, for the 1000th time, @therickwilson.bsky.social :

Less than 1% of the adult population of Canada signed the “Alberta independence petition.” More Canadians believe in Sasquatch, than in Alberta independence. This is encouraging news, although the Sasquatch numbers are themselves worrisome.

If you ever have any doubt that pro-Palestinians are complete suckers for any anti-Semitic content, remember “rape dogs.” Yes, it’s ludicrous and laughable. But it is the key that unlocks every pretension of the anti-Israeli useful idiot.

Ken Paxton was indicted for scamming his own friends. He convinced them to invest hundreds of thousands in a company while secretly pocketing a commission. Paxton sold out his own friends for a quick buck. What makes you think he won't sell you out in the Senate?

The location of the PM's speech decrying anti-semitism (a synogogue) was kept quiet for security reasons. Two observations: (1) No-one seems to grasp the irony of that; and (2) No-one seems to grasp the irony that no-one seems to grasp the irony of that.

Canada is one of the most successful nations in the history of the world. Anyone who wants to destroy it is, at best, a fool and an enemy of Canada. There is no need to be polite about it. Keep that in mind as Alberta holds its "referendum to decide on whether to have a referendum to separate."
