“I began listening more carefully to what my father had to say after the Churchill speech, for my father was clear in his own mind about where his loyalties lay. Having known persecution in Poland [he was Jewish], having served with his brothers in the British Army during the First World War, and having been a fierce patriot in his land of adoption, my father was an outspoken advocate of British freedom. ‘This is the one place where people are still free,’ he would tell me. ‘If you have to choose between giving in and fighting, fight; just remember that. Fight with everything you’ve got.’”

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.

In my latest National Post column I describe the weird combination of tedium and fury induced by listening to members of the UN special committee for blaming Israel for all problems in the Mideast droning on.

“The U.S. has to decide whether its priority is to help Ukraine retain territory or worry about Putin. Fear of escalation is what the Kremlin has deliberately inculcated and which some European leaders have tacitly endorsed. As Matthew Kaminski stated in Politico, ‘The West has been better at deterring itself than at deterring Russia.’”

In my latest Epoch Times column I say the latest attack on Israel exposes Hamas starkly as an offence against man and God … along with anyone that supports or excuses it, Islamic Jihad or any such genocidal antisemitic organization or government.

In my latest Epoch Times column I say the decision to cut another billion dollars out of the Canadian military, and deny you’re doing it, is more proof that we are governed by profoundly unserious people.

In my latest Epoch Times column I heckle an entire Parliament full of people who didn’t know who fought who in World War II, that guests for a high-security speaker should be vetted or just about anything else.

“The point is, however, that the West [in the Cold War] got the ‘big thing’ right and the lesser matters right enough. Many of history’s losers, not excluding Nazi Germany and the USSR, failed to get the really big things right although they did perform some ill chosen missions extremely well. If one had to choose, it would be preferable to pursue the correct policy inelegantly than the incorrect policy elegantly.”
