All that Canadians need to know about Paul Martin's two new Alberta Senators:

1. "vice-chair of Climate Change Central" and

2. "promoter of bilingualism" and former dean of the Faculte St-Jean at the University of Alberta.

[. . . . ] The Alberta appointments are bad news because the champion of democracy and crusader against western alienation ignored the candidates for the Senate who were elected by Albertans as part of last November's provincial election. The PM chose instead two blasts from the political past and a francophone educator with Liberal connections. [. . . . ]

Paul Martin has just given Canadians the bird. He is as as "small" as JC, if not smaller and pettier, and ANTI-DEMOCRATIC, as well as dictatorial -- truly a "little" man. I sense his almost daring us to do anything about it. Well, what are you going to do?

Did you catch Paul Martin attempt to place his hand on Pres. George Bush's back -- a warm, friendly gesture for the cameras? Naturally, that is the picture we were fed. I saw that his hand never touched Pres. Bush's back and that he quickly put it down. (Nobody seems to have noticed JC's shaking hands during his Gomery joke, either. )

It would be fascinating to ask a large random sample of Canadians what their highest civic ideal is.

I suspect most would say: "To me, Canada is about tolerance."

And they would be kidding themselves. This country believes no more in "tolerance" than it does in freedom. [. . . . ]
