I got a call from a group of mysterious people in Florida who pleaded with me – and almost demanded – that I come down to Florida and help solve the marital problems of a prominent golfer whose name they refused to reveal. But it was obvious whom they meant. They referred to him only by his code name: “Mr. T.” The caller introduced himself as Greg Watson, Mr. T’s executive ... (Continue reading)
How I made it into the inner recesses of the White House remains a mystery to me, but there I was in the War Room of the CIA Office of Political Disinformation. I had to hurdle a number of obstructions that would have stopped dead any spy getting in and ended up standing before a tall, imposing gentleman with dark glasses who said: “I’m Bert, the station command officer. You’re Frank ... (Continue reading)
“Where are you going, Frank?” asked my wife. “Ottawa, my dear, to interview a BQ MP.” “I thought it was only Liberals you enjoyed torturing?” “No, I’m just trying to change the course of history.” “Good luck, dear.” The next day, after arriving in Ottawa, I inquired: “Is this the office of Francine Lalonde, the BQ member for La Pointe-de-l’Ille?” “Yes, what can I do for you?” asked an attractive young woman in a business suit ...

If you’re going to be a crook, Canada’s the place to be. Not Zambia, where the government isn’t printing any more of its worthless money. Or Somalia, where they haven’t had a central government in 10 years. Or Saudi Arabia, where thieves get their hands cut off and adulterers get stoned. Or Iraq, where your coloured voting finger gets cut off by jihadists. And certainly not the United States, from where ... (Continue reading)
It’s helpful to learn, in these difficult financial times, the problems we share with the very wealthy, who have to experience getting along on considerably less income. Ruth Madoff is one of those persons, the celebrity wife of an epic swindler, Bernard Madoff, a financial adviser who was found guilty of purloining $170 billion in a gigantic Ponzi scheme. Her husband’s estimated annual income was $75 million. Bernard was recently ... (Continue reading)
As the Queen’s Park columnist for The Interim, I recently found myself aboard Air Force One on assignment, heading towards Indiana and Notre Dame in the company of U.S. President Barack Obama. I was ensconced in luxurious surroundings, sitting in a window seat in the rear of the plane. Having a glass of Famous Grouse to satisfy my thirst, I happened to glance over at my seating companion and was ... (Continue reading)
When Ralph Nader attended a press conference at Queen’s Park in Toronto to an overflow media crowd a few years ago, I asked him: “What’s your stand on pro-life issues?” He dismissed me with a wave of his arm. It was obvious he wasn’t going to wade into that contentious issue. It’s the same situation at the Park today. As an associate member of the Queen’s Park Press Gallery, with press ...

Frank Klees, the Tory MPP for Newmarket-Aurora, is seeking the job of leader of the Ontario Conservative party. He said in a phone interview recently that he and his wife adopted a two-day-old son born to a single mom a number of years ago and is well aware of crisis pregnancies and the problems that occur. They also have two grown children. Klees has a long history of pro-life activity, having ... (Continue reading)

Into an Ottawa government office poured a distraught looking young woman carrying a load of files that she dumped on a desk near the door, which she then kicked shut with her foot. She turned and spoke to a slim, bespectacled, middle-aged man in an ill-fitting suit standing behind a much larger desk near the window. "It's crazy out there! Absolutely crazy!" she cried, advancing towards his desk. "You must ... (Continue reading)
Barack Obama giving pro-lifers a great gift? Before anyone starts to wonder what I’ve been inhaling, readers should know of the astonishing pro-life victories that occurred in the recent U.S. presidential election that have been largely unreported by the leftist-leaning media. Strangely, Obama was considered responsible in California for increasing black voter turnout, the vast majority of whom voted for Proposition 8, rejecting homosexual marriage. Proposition ...

Awit once said: “Only God can unscramble an egg.” This was similar to the problem that faced Canadians in the recent federal election, when all major parties totally ignored the life issues. The Conservatives won with an increased minority, the Liberals dropped a pile of seats, the NDP picked up a few seats and the Greens were shut out. None of them deserved to win. With the exception of the ... (Continue reading)
I was shocked, stunned, incredulous and totally off my rocker when I saw on CNN that Alaska Governor Sarah Palin was John McCain’s choice as his Republican running mate. So was CNN. So was Senator Barack Obama. Largely unknown to Americans, even Obama on CNN said that he was surprised at the choice. Here was Palin, a ... (Continue reading)
Peter Kormos, the veteran Ontario NDP MPP member for Niagara Centre, is once again trying to sell the dangerous idea of Ontario organ donors automatically becoming organ donors unless they opt out. What’s not readily understood is that your body’s got to be alive in order to make most organ donations. Viable organs cannot be taken from a corpse. As aToronto Star reader wrote recently: “We are not ... (Continue reading)
