Aeneas the Younger: May 2006
http://redtoryglory.blogspot.com/2006_05_01_archive.html
One cannot understand the Conservatism of Canada without thinking of Disraeli." (George Parkin Grant). Tuesday, May 23, 2006. Latest Ipsos-Reid Political Poll. Http:/ www.canada.com/nationalpost/story.html? This finds that the Harper Government is currying great favour with the Canadian electorate. One has to wonder just what conclusions the government and caucus will draw from this positive reaction? Will they ascertain that their moderate tone and policy is the reason for the positive response? Monday,...

One cannot understand the Conservatism of Canada without thinking of Disraeli." (George Parkin Grant). Wednesday, March 15, 2006. World's Smallest Political Quiz . This one suffers from a clear sense of American - or Classical Liberal - bias, but give it a try anyway:. Http:/ www.self-gov.org/quiz.html. Again, sorry for the lazy post, but I am in the midst of 5 weeks of Business Travel over the next 7 weeks of Life. My Wife is a Saint! At least I am throwing out (or is it "up? Links to this post. Sorry f...

Aeneas the Younger: July 2006
http://redtoryglory.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html
One cannot understand the Conservatism of Canada without thinking of Disraeli." (George Parkin Grant). Saturday, July 15, 2006. On the current crisis in the Middle-East . And believe me, it is a crisis. And perhaps one that precedes the beginning of the middle-chapters of this sad story. I would also point to my June 29th Post, as an indication of my prescience on the matter. So please pay attention . What we are in fact witnessing is a resolution of the 1948. The biggest mistake the Islamists could have...

Aeneas the Younger: April 2006
http://redtoryglory.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html
One cannot understand the Conservatism of Canada without thinking of Disraeli." (George Parkin Grant). Saturday, April 29, 2006. John Kenneth Galbraith has died at age 97 . The lanky Economist from Iona Station, Ontario has passed from the sight of man. He will surely be seen as one of the Giants of his Time, and he was certainly - for a time in the 1960's and 1970's - the most famous Economist on the planet. Are ones that we again, ignore at our own peril. I could only imagine so. Links to this post.

Dred Tory: Harperium In Excelsis: Game of Drones, Part I
http://dredtory.blogspot.com/2012/04/harperium-in-excelsis-game-of-drones.html
Thursday, April 12, 2012. Harperium In Excelsis: Game of Drones, Part I. The souls of the righteous are in the hand of God,. And there shall no torment touch them. In the sight of the unwise they seemed to die,. And their departure is taken for misery,. And their going from us to be utter destruction,. But they are in peace. For though they be punished in the sight of men,. Yet is their hope full of immortality. And having been a little chastened, they shall be greatly rewarded,. With the mocking demand ...

Dred Tory: May 2013
http://dredtory.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 7, 2013. On the New Provisional Commissariat of Official Historical Truth. A perfectly understandable murmur of bemusement has followed the announcement of the CPC's constitutionally illiterate and procedurally risible intention to "review". Canadian history- this, from a party led by a man who once placed the NDP in the 1930s. I began to wonder what a typical multiple-choice pop quiz on a Grade 12 Harper History or Harper Civics unit might look like. I then fantasised about what I hoped.

Dred Tory: Season's Creepings
http://dredtory.blogspot.com/2011/12/seasons-creepings.html
Monday, December 26, 2011. In describing the pagan desecration of holy places, early medieval accounts such as the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. Observe a euphemistic fastidiousness that, while acknowledging the Viking zeal to denude shrines of their relics and tabernacles of their gold and silver, leave implicit or entirely unuttered the grosser heathen habits of profanation, such as lustily evacuating or performing bloody sacrifices upon the altars of monasteries and abbeys. In post-war Canadian history in or...

Dred Tory: November 2009
http://dredtory.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 30, 2009. I have never strayed very far from the psychic precincts of my Janus birth; my mind is solstitial year-long, and I've been cursed with New Year's ambivalence all my life. My utopia has always been the immeasurable edge where endings and beginnings meet, where is hosted the mysterious, transcendent flowering of the. Be It is miraculous. J.R.R Tolkien called this a " eucatastrophe. The first is from the film version of. The Unbearable Lightness of Being. Tomas and Tereza are driv...

Dred Tory: July 2010

Sunday, July 4, 2010. Relax, People- Everything Is Under Control: Part Two (Independence Day Edition). This may come as a surprise, but it truly pains me that a few of my casual readers appear to perceive a faint tinge of anti-Americanism in my writings. I find that odd, since the nation I love was largely founded by Americans—the good ones. N]ot everyone is happy with the ordinance. No I'm really quite fond of America, especially of its desperate need to have others be fond of it—arguably its most...
