A cornucopia of comment from Canadas most opinionated man a man seen, read, and listened to by millions of Canadians each week.Canadas most distinctive commentator presents his fearless and thought-provoking views on a head-spinning range of subjects, from Dr. Johnsons greatness to Bonos gratingness, from doubts about Obama to utter belief in Don Cherry, from Aleksandr Solzhenitsyns outstanding oeuvre to well, Pamela Anderson.The topics are as eclectic and wide ranging as the intelligence that put them together. The perspective is thoroughly Canadian, and so are many of the recurring topics and themes: of our domestic politics and our military involvements abroad, of our national identity, of human rights and human decency. Youll find assessments of the reputations of Paul Martin, Conrad Black, Adrienne Clarkson, and Tim Hortons; tough but affectionate views of Newfoundland of course but also from Rex Murphys constant travels across Canada.But all the world is here, in all its glory and folly. The hard-hitting attacks on politicians, celebrities, those who would ban smoking, and anyone who uses the expression global warming denial will have you cheering or tearing your hair out, depending. You will be informed, infuriated perhaps, but always fascinated.From the Hardcover edition.
