As the end of your term in office approaches, you are now beginning to reflect on your leadership through one of the most controversial presidencies of all time. The last 8 years will forever change the world and the future of the United States. In your bid to win the Presidency back in 2000, you ...
On Wednesday, the big US auto manufacturers went to Washington to beg for taxpayers’ money to bail them out of possible bankruptcy. There was something symbolic about these auto execs flying in their big luxury private jets from Detroit to Washington. To me, flying to Washington in their gas-guzzling jets symbolizes their failure to innovate ...
I have to use this article to honour John McCain for what was I think his most honourable speech he has given since the beginning of his campaign in which he conceded the election to Barack Obama. With tears fresh in his eyes, McCain hushed the crowd several times when they booed at the very ...
(This was written earlier today on the bus ride home from a 3-day vacation in Montreal and Quebec City with Han and her parents) Tomorrow is the day that the United States will choose who will lead them into the next 4 years. The next elected President has an arduous task ahead of them; for ...
At the beginning of the US Presidential campaign, I had a lot of respect for John McCain and I even thought that he might be a good President if he were to be elected.

Every day I’m shocked at the revelations of smear campaigns against Barack Obama that have been circulating for the last year and a half. I’ve been a proud supporter Obama’s bid for President since November 2007, and I have been paying careful attention to the lies and distortions that have been happening for a long ...
Prime Minister Stephen Harper has perhaps not surprisingly been re-elected as Prime Minister in a $300 million election that really didn’t change anything. We still have a minority government, we still have the same leader; the only outcome that will change as a result is that the Liberal Party will rid themselves of Stephane Dion ...
The highlight of tonight’s Presidential debate between John McCain and Barack Obama was definitely when McCain pointed at Obama and said “That One”, in reference to Obama voting for the 2005 enegy bill (See video below). I think it would have been far more acceptable to say “that one” if McCain subsequently referred to himself ...
This morning when I was out for a run, I was wondering to myself why so many people refer to Barack Obama as “Hussein” (his middle name). I can only assume that people choose to call him Hussein because they see him as a Muslim and calling him Hussein makes him sound like more of ...
