On Lord Black
I'm reminded of a scene in 'Lion in the Winter' that's mentioned in a West Wing Episode. Richard and Geoffrey are about to be executed by Henry II, and Richard tells his friends not to cower, that they should not allow Henry any satisfaction. At this, Geoffrey shouts, "you chivalric fool! As if it matters how a man falls down!" And Richard responds, "when the fall is all that's left, it matters a great deal."
Black found guilty on four of thirteen charges, including obstruction of justice.

What perceptive/emotional acknowledgment of Conrad Black's trial outcome you've presented in citing the historical event. Conrad Black as possible victim himself of out-of-control, pirrahnic power forces. And it remains to be scene if the handling of the appeal will exonerated him, based on the lack of accounting paper evidence, the jury admitted was not overwhelming as conclusive proof.
I post at Jack's Newswatch regularly where we engage in topic of the day political discussions. I've pointed out readers on that political blog, the quality of your entries as a political science student and Conservative gov't support, IMO, the depth of your astute insights add much value and insight into Conservative gov't's worthiness to conduct our nation's business.
Please drop over to JN's and feel free to add substantial, incisive analyses that your own site regularly shows. Political advancement for this country is realized when quality, studious contributors such as yourself are as knowledgeable and engaged as you certainly are.
Share your thoughts and original material with us, because Canada needs the best and the brightest now and in our future.
Sorry, forgot to reread my post, and you'll think poorly of the typos and omissions. We were all dead tired yesterday discussing the need for meaningful, deterring crime bill legislation to address the escalating random violent gun violence on the rise in our cities.
I should have taken the time to read and correct the response for your easy assimilation. Trusting you'll get the jist.
You might find Jack's Newswatch unique in format, as its news and commentary in one place. So it's topical. One concentrated, focus effort which happens there on a daily basis, is the attempt to correct MSM's incessant misrepresentations/obfuscating clear facts. As in the Toronto Star and its columnists continual writing from a left-leaning bias.
Regular Canadians, busy, harried sometimes get the main message from screaming headlines, that literally slam Tory policies and initiatives in relentless onslaught.
The main problem now as we estimate it is the inability of Tory supporters to show up that bias to the motoring public, in the interests of direclty getting the truth of matters out to them.
For instance, regarding the present gun violence's root cause is the drug and crime culture of the perpetrators and the fact they are in possession of ILLEGAL GUNS, when the Liberals are citing the need for the ban on responsible legal gun owners, whose guns are not implicated in these crimes.
So, Tim, any ideas you discern to counter the left-leaning press continually mis-informing Canadians with their pervasive front page headlines, we'd appreciate from your obviously growing professionalism on the subject.
Much appreciation for your high quality, focused site which I enjoy immensely. And I'm drawing others attentions to it as well.
Best regards, Anna Keightley
