- Not so much a pullout as a transfer of control. Cut through the media filter and read what Tony Blair had to say for yourself, here (although do I think this observer makes some salient criticisms).

- David Suzuki, corporate shill; but don't expect the sympathetic mainstream media in Canada to put this angelic do-gooder under the microscope. Wanna know why? Click on this link for a partial answer.

- Some quick yet provocative thoughts on the global economy, here, along with a few numbers for those who like to measure by result rather than intention.

- Speaking of results, here are some observations about teachers' unions from a guy who knows a thing or two about success.

The Vancouver Sun alleges that the father-in-law of a Liberal MP was once the mouthpiece for a known terrorist.

Former Prime Minister Paul Martin's games of footsie with terror groups goes back almost twenty years.
