Discussing conservative reaction to the Senate scandal, and the dangers of the growth of power of the prime minister’s office. I was floored by the view from the CTV studio. Check the video here:
On CTV News Channel’s Power Play with Don Martin
And now I will whistle Flight of the Bumblebee!
Discussing ethics and partisanship, and the implications of the Senate scandal, in the beautiful House of Commons foyer. I was a reader (and fan) of Don Martin‘s Calgary Herald articles back when I first got involved in politics, so it was cool to talk with him. Of course, I was an even bigger reader of this Don Martin, but I guess that’s not relevant.

Reaction following the Senate scandal article
After the op-ed on the Senate scandal came out, I went down to a friend’s hunt camp in NY state.
There, I was instrumental in taking down a ukulele with a 12 gauge. Ukulele season is quite short, so I’m happy I could get down for it.

My first article after a few years break was a political comment in the Ottawa Citizen on the (temporarily latest) Senate scandal.
They took out my favourite line, which had to do with ducks, but otherwise I’m happy with it.
The argument was pretty straightforward, but had really not been voiced.
The conservative mindset understands that power tends to corrupt. How far will we let it corrupt us? I have been involved in party work for more than a decade and I call on other party members to demand answers, or resignation from our leader.
