This week I joined The Hon. Tony Clement on his “Boom and Bust” show to discuss Remembrance Day in light of ominous current developments including the Hamas terrorist assault on Israel.

If one had to choose, it would be preferable to pursue the correct policy inelegantly than the incorrect policy elegantly.”
