A Continental Fantasy

Simple-mindedness and megalomania characterize the “European project.”

Theodore Dalrymple – 31 May 2012

On a flight from Copenhagen to Brussels, I read two publications that I see infrequently: the International Herald Tribune and Le Soir, the principal Belgian newspaper in French. Both, not surprisingly, had much coverage of the European crisis, and both used an expression that, to me, has a sinister ring: the European project.

Michael Coren om Stephen Harper

Om Canadas konservative premierminister:

Underrated: Stephen Harper

Michael Coren – October 2011

The first time I met Stephen Harper was when I interviewed him on television. As we left the studio, he asked me how old I was. I told him. “Oh,” he said, “we’re the same age. Odd, you look much older.” In other words, personal charm is not always the strong point of the Conservative Canadian prime minister and arguably the sole Western leader with a sensible, intelligent and consistent foreign policy. Harper is a relatively anonymous man from a relatively anonymous country — everybody knows Canada is there, but most people outside the second largest country in the world know very little about it.

That includes those just over the border in the United States. Then again, why would or should they? America is a superpower, Canada is a gentle parliamentary democracy with 35 million people, two official languages, a British political system and an obsession with ice hockey. The most famous politician it produced was also the one who did it the most damage. Pierre Trudeau was the Liberal prime minister who played social experiments with the country, turning Canada into an achingly liberal and socialised state, with ties to Cuba and the Soviet Union.

A statesman for the west

Melanie Phillips – 25 November 2011

The excellent Tim Montgomerie makes the point in a Guardian column today that, having headed a minority government for five years, the Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper last May led his Conservative party to its first majority in two decades. Montgomerie cites this to help his case that David Cameron called it wrong when he decided to ditch conservative ideas for left-wing ones – an argument which I myself have made repeatedly since Cameron was elected party leader.

But Harper deserves attention on his own account. For he is a party leader who appears to have defied political gravity. As a country, Canada is hardly a byword for conservatism: indeed, it is known for its liberal approach to social issues. Yet Harper not only hung on to power for five years as the leader of a minority government but has now pulled off the feat of achieving majority rule.

Stephen Harper kom til at sige noget fornuftigt. Og det skal man aldrig gøre, når venstrefløjsere og visse indvandrere er i farvandet. Først Brian Lilley og Tarek Fatah – begge videoer er fra 7. september 2011:

Tarek Fatah: PM Harper is right about islamofascism

“The comments of Prime Minister Harper should be saluted. He’s the first Western leader who has come up with the clarity that has been missing in the last ten years.

Had Prime Minister Harper been the President of the United States we would have won the War on Terror by now. But instead we’ve got someone in the White House today who’s apologizing, and in fact giving the impression that it was the United States that attacked muslims, not vice versa.”
. . .
[in response to lawyer Paul Champ]
“These sharia Bolsheviks, these bleeding-heart white liberals are a dime a dozen in Canada, and what they do not understand is that as a muslim I am the first line of defence – the islamists will get me and slit my throat long before Mr. Champ ever comes into the picture. I would gladly exchange my position with his white privilege and then discuss this issue. Let him go to Pakistan.”

“It is so refreshing now to have a Prime Minister . . . to speak and say things and say things as it is.”
