It was more like a festival - think Cannes, Burning Man, or Fashion Week, perhaps the G8 Summit. People came from all over the world to participate. Deals were struck, friends and enemies gained, and the powerful giant that is Louis/Dressner Selections showed the world that there is no such thing as a recession when it comes to the world of fine wine. At least two heads of state showed up - President...
An anonymous police commenter on this blog has questioned whether agents provocateurs are used. So I have searched for instances on the web. The black bloc anarchist assault on the Royal Bank of Scotland building yesterday certainly had an air of being stage-managed. The target was announced in advance, the authorities knew that the building was a prime target, and yet it was the only one in the street...

Hagel joins Anti-Israel appointees such as Samantha Power and General Jones on the President's...
Imagine using government money for the Vancouver Olympics to build a botanical garden in Chilliwack. That would seem weird, wouldn't it? Imagine money allocated to clean up the Hamilton Harbour being used to repave roads in Barrie? That wouldn't seem "right" would it? Imagine using money to help host the G8 summit in Huntsville for granite signage in distant Parry Sound ??? : A $50-million...

As Canada braces for the 2010 G8 Summit in Huntsville, one question is on the mind of every pertinent policy maker and opinion leader: how should the Group of Eight expand? There are endlessly differing concepts of how the G8 should enlarge itself, from the usual talk of adding
This past weekend I had the pleasure of visiting Huntsville , Ontario; the home of the G8/G20 2010 Summit . These are some photos I shot of the floorplans posted in the front lobby. The centre is going to be gorgeous with a Canadiana look. Stone, timbers, granite with a Native influence. The Government of Canada will invest $50 million towards a series of initiatives for the Huntsville area. The G8...
October 23, 2009 I showed you the cover art for my upcoming novel, The Fallen, a few weeks ago. A couple of you have seen the original cover art version because I asked your opinions of it. What I didn't show anybody was the version in between.

June 6, 2008 : Shorter Bush/Baird tag team on the prospects for a common front on greenhouse gas emission cuts at next week's G8 summit: Speaking as the parties who refuse to even consider any emission reduction targets, we have a crazy hunch that no unanimous agreement will be reached.

Obama Checking Out Girl at the G8 Summit? You may have seen this rather misleading photo doing the rounds this morning. The photo appears to depict President Obama checking out the rear of 16 year old Brazilian girl Mayora Taveres. We admit that the shot is incriminating, but the real story is far less titillating.
