		<description><![CDATA[Eighty percent is a big number. There are no hard and fast rules as to what constitutes a “coronation”, but 80% has got to be pretty close. I speak of course about the level of endorsement received by Justin Trudeau in this week’s leadership vote. The big number is something that can’t be denied, that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Despite the best efforts of a warming, that is &#8220;changing&#8221; climate, snowcat tours of the Rocky Mountains&#8217; Columbia Ice Fields are still very popular.  Calgarians will know that they can enjoy a little bit of that adventure every winter day, just by driving the city&#8217;s residential streets. You see, as hard as it is for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By now many of you will have heard all the reasons why Romney lost yesterday. Well, guess what?  They’re all right. In an election this close, any single one of these factors could by itself have caused the Republican loss. Let’s review a few of them (and where I heard them): 1/ Vicious attack ads [...]]]></description>

By contrast, other companies promoted sons of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Readers may have missed a recent item on CBC Radio One The World at Six, so let me summarize. Apparently recent developments in Venezuela&#8217;s presidential campaign warranted a feature report on Hugo Chavez. The Latin American strongman is seeking a fourth six-year term as president. CBC&#8217;s perspective was, er, noteworthy. Mothercorp&#8217;s Latin America correspondent, Connie Watson, [...]]]></description>

I highly recommend readers check it out. It was worth every penny. Waiting for total darkness at these latitudes is a challenge this time of year, especially with a near-full [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Rather than just me being an antediluvian knuckle-dragger, apparently there is at least one other who has not internalized the environmental imperatives of the 21st century. This individual, for obvious reasons, requests anonymity. But he is willing to share his sordid experience with us. Naturally, DrJandMrK disavows any opinions reflected in this account. It is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Should I be unfortunate enough to visit Toronto, I&#8217;d like to forestall being subjected to re-education, or some other retroactive penalty imposed by its ever-expanding municipal government. Maybe this confession will suffice.  Yes, I have been guilty of Bag-ism, the irrational desire to place recently purchased objects into a plastic bag. Blame it on my [...]]]></description>

Let&#8217;s start with the Sudetenland and the inside joke it refers to. MrK and I occasionally mused on what we might do if, heaven forbid, our writing morphed into a regular [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Perhaps with the UN&#8217;s many commemorative days, weeks, etc., etc., they also have a &#8220;Rapporteurs&#8216; Week&#8221;. If so, last week might have been it. First there was the story mentioned in my last post, about Rapporteur de Schutter,  who was investigating Canada&#8217;s food distribution. Now another of the rapporteurs, James Anaya, is in the news. [...]]]></description>
