  • NOBEL NOT YET, ANTITHESIS LONG OVERDUE 10 October 2025
    Acclaiming what  amounts to a ceasefire in Gaza as potentially (or definitively) worthy of a Nobel Peace Prize before it becomes a signed-by-all-sides peace agreement, is premature. It also threatens to subsume what the very suggestion makes clear should be awarded: an Ignoble Indifference-to-Peace Prize. There are so many candidates that it would be easier […]
  • NATURE ALTERS APACE, HUMANS RACE TO RUIN 3 October 2025
    Sliding quietly along the shoreline of a lake created 12,000 years ago, when the last Ice Age retreated, brings the difference between change caused by natural process, and that wreaked by human folly, into baffling focus. When the forces of Nature reshape the world  they create things that even when stark, are beautiful.… Read the […]
  • FALL COLOUR CALM IN A COARSE WORLD 26 September 2025
    In this part of Canada, you don’t need a calendar to know autumn has officially arrived. Pretty much every conversational encounter with a local incudes an opinion or speculation on how colourful the leaves will be this year, and whether climate change will have an effect. Predictions range from muted to more vibrant than usual.… […]
  • MOCKERY MIGHT BE MIGHTIER THAN MALICE 19 September 2025
    Railing against the idiocy and iniquities of  pusillanimous media barons, shameless political opportunists and the perpetrators of the abomination of the war in Gaza having had little to no effect, it’s time to deploy what they fear most — mockery. The potential efficacy of that is manifestly evident in ABC’s firing of Jimmy Kimmel, an […]
  • THE NEW NEWS WON’T BE THE NEWS WE KNEW 12 September 2025
    However they’re spun, the evidence to hand says the changes that are about to befall CBS News are not about truth, fairness and better serving the public. They’re about making the already rich, richer. News coverage, reputation and tradition will be the poor relations, at best. David  Ellison, the new owner of CBS, mouthed vague […]
  • SOMETIMES SQUARE ON IS THE ONLY VIEW 5 September 2025
    It may seem presumptuous, if not contradictory to say on a website touting itself as “an atypical perspective”, that some things in this world demand nothing more than a straightforward view from the perspective of common sense. However, there also seems to be an inordinate number of people who have either allowed greed to overcome […]
  • KILL A JOURNALIST, PROPAGATE A LIE 29 August 2025
    Known to psychologists as “the illusion of truth”, the propaganda law “Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth”, is used so often, blatantly and cynically by Israeli spokespersons that anything they say must be taken with not a pinch, but the pillar of salt the Bible says Lot’s wife turned into for looking […]
  • A (HOPEFULLY) HELPFUL HINT 22 August 2025
    When you’re typecast as terminally polite and stuck next to a family determined to revel in being the stereotypical “neighbours from Hell,” the courteous thing to do is offer them a copy of Robert Burns’ poem, “To a Louse”.  Written in the 18th century, it uses the image of a louse climbing on a fine […]
  • WHEN ALL ELSE FAILS, OPT FOR THE OBVIOUS 16 August 2025
    The killing of five journalists in a tent in Gaza this week is a cruel lesson for world leaders who have played along far too long with Israel’s “righteous victim” shield: what you do out of fear is what you become. The targeted assassination, in and of itself a clarion announcement by the Israeli authorities […]
  • POINTLESS WORDS DON’T MAKE A POINT 8 August 2025
    A few days ago I spent some time with the loon family I wrote about last week. The parents called out twice, to help the two chicks find them in the choppy waves, which prompted the thought that my exasperation with news coverage, and the world in general, is directly related to the excessive use […]
