The New CrewJustin Trudeau will introduce his new cabinet this week. Susan Delacourt writes it will answer a big question: Did the election change Justin's perspective? Elizabeth May was one of those leaders who met Trudeau this week by virtue of her status as the Green party’s leader in the Commons. Of all the opposition leaders in the House, she knows Trudeau the best — they sat beside each other in the back rows when the Liberals languished as the third party in the chamber. With that in mind, I asked May this week whether she got the impression during her half-hour conversation with him ... read more

James Bond: The Warrior of a Dead EmpireIn the 1940s, the British lost their empire but they did not lose their aspiration to be the savior of the West. So they invented the super spy James Bond who works for MI6. Ian Fleming wrote his first James Bond novel *Casino Royale* in 1952, almost immediately after the fall of the British Empire. The USA and the Soviet Union had battle carriers, fighter planes, missiles, and armies—the British had James Bond who would single handedly save the West. In James Bond books and movies the powerful figures from the Soviet Union and other non-Western cultures are shown as deranged psycho... read more

Sunday morning musicThis morning I'm sharing with you a fun live concert by Golden Earring from 2007. The entire concert is here, if you'd like to listen to over an hour of their music: but I'd like to highlight this extended 19-minute version of their classic rock hit "Radar Love". For those who only ever heard the short, commercially-played version, it's an eye-opener. Fun stuff from veteran rockers. It was sad to hear, earlier this year, that they've finally closed up shop after guitarist George Kooymans was diagnosed with ALS. Peter read more

Prince Charles disappoints me
I used to be an advocate for Prince Charles. I liked him. He had dignity and class. However, his involvement with the World Economic Forum concerns me as does his blind devotion to the pandemic reset narrative. That is batsh*t crazy.

Perhaps the crown should pass him by and go to his son. Just sayn. Globalism sucks. read more
