Commentary

Like death and taxes, there are inescapable realities to which all of us must resign ourselves. With sombre countenances, we are forced to acknowledge that no Canadian NHL team (particularly one based in Toronto) will ever again win the Stanley Cup. We know for a certainty that the moment you take your snow tires off the weatherman will announce a blizzard for the morrow. Equally predictable and just as unavoidable is the fact in any federal election, the Liberal party will trumpet their discovery of a secret Conservative plan to bring back restrictions on abortions.
