A pig that jumped a tall fence and escaped its deadly fate at a slaughterhouse more than three decades ago captured the imagination once again on Friday after an improved statue of the rebel was unveiled in the same central Alberta city where the ham was once on the lam. Read More

Taylor Swift was in the news this week. Young as she is, it has almost been twenty years since her eponymous debut album. This week’s attention though is on Bruce Springsteen, whose breakthrough album Born to Run was released fifty years ago last Monday. Read More

Prime Minister Mark Carney and the Liberals have been enjoying a political honeymoon for a while. Virtually every party, leader and government experiences this for a few months, and sometimes up to a year. The polls mostly work in their favour. Policies and ideas are usually viewed favourably. They can seemingly do no wrong in people’s eyes. Read More

Antisemitism in systemic — if allowed, it finds its way in through government complacency, apathy and ignorance, which provides activists a license to act in lawless ways. This is not something that happened overnight. It is a direct result of Australia's choice to be on the wrong side of moral history when it comes to Israel’s just war against Hamas. Read More

Prime Minister Mark Carney is enjoying a honeymoon in the polls, as all incoming leaders deserve. Less comprehensible are the celebrations that are quite audibly in progress about all that he is accomplishing. I have even seen adulatory references to his “first hundred days,” and favourable comparisons with the beginning of the administration of Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1933 when he saved the collapsed financial system and reopened the banks and stock and commodity exchanges and set up the workfare programs that provided public works and conservation jobs for the 30 per cent of the population that was without work and received no federal assistance. Obviously, we do not have a similar state of urgency in Canada today. Nor do we have a government that as far as I can see has actually done anything except announce one or two good personnel appointments and proclaim a readiness in principle to expedite some large unspecified projects.

An anti-religion zealot who quit his job to pursue years of unrealistic court challenges and diatribes against religious belief — such as demanding justices of the Supreme Court resign for swearing an oath of office that invokes God — increasingly turned his public ire to one group, Jews, in the months leading up to his arrest after a Jewish woman was stabbed at an Ottawa grocery store on Wednesday.

Jean M. Auel’s Neolithic-age novel Clan of the Cave Bear has a brutal scene in which the protagonist, at age 10, is brutally beaten and raped by a Neanderthal (later, she gives birth to their child). This, I’m sure, is why it’s likely to be pulled from Edmonton Public School libraries in the fall. Read More
