Only George Bush broke more hearts than Stephen Harper - They both did it in bulk. Here is how and why...
In 2004-2006 Canada 's PM Stephen Harper aka "Secret Steve" received a phone call from George W. Bush aka "War Criminal" who said something like this...
"If you let those Iraqi kids get organ transplants in Toronto from the volunteer soldiers of Canada and America there will be a lot a publicity and people will want to know just how many kids were really killed and maimed. If they learn that over 2,000 children were killed and over 8,600 lost limbs or got leukemia from our depleted uranium weapons, the public will be pissed. So please just don't give those Iraqi kids visas to come to Canada for those life saving surgeries okay? Do this for me Stevie and I will make sure we buy...

Dear Dr. Carson:
As leaders of the nation’s largest veterans organizations, with more than 5 million active members, we vehemently disagree with your dangerous proposal to eliminate the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) health care system for America’s veterans. Eliminating the VA health care system – considering all that it has done in the past and all that it could be in the future – would inevitably endanger the health and well-being of millions of wounded, injured and ill veterans, an outcome that we cannot allow to occur.
Dr. Carson, we do not question your intentions to improve the lives of those who have served; your life’s work speaks clearly to your dedication to the lives of others. Nor do we dispute your observation that VA today faces very serious problems and...

To the distinguished staff at the National Security Council,
As President Barack Obama and the National Security Council team have stated unequivocally over the past week, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) is one of the most dangerous national security threats that the United States faces in the world today. The organization's penchant for absolute and undiscriminating brutality against civilians -- men, women and children alike -- is a shock to the conscience of the world in the 21st Century. Only the United States, with its military capability, dedicated intelligence professionals, diplomatic prowess, and leadership qualities, can best degrade and ultimately...

Querido Señor Rubio:
I am not a Republican. However, after years of studying Plato, I have taken to heart his message from The Republic, and consider it my personal responsibility, as a member of a democracy, to educate myself about the relevant issues in our society. And so I tuned into the recent Republican presidential debate. And I have to admit I was very proud of you, for our backgrounds are extremely similar. I too was born in Miami, the daughter of Cuban exiles; my father was imprisoned by the Castro government. I grew up playing in the streets of Little Havana. I attended and got my Bachelor's degrees from Florida International University, where you currently teach some courses. So, despite our political disagreement, my heart welled with pride seeing you up on that stage....

I feel for you Tan Man. I wouldn't want to keep eating the same poop sandwich over and over again either. You remember the Government Shutdown of 2013? A lot of people who lost their apartments and got their electricity cut-off do. But never mind them. Your party has nothing but scorn for the scum on the bottom rung anyway. It's your misery that counts now. And thanks to you, the Government Shutdown of 2015 may be averted, since a Continuing Resolution may now be passed with Democratic votes in the House. It's a fleeting victory, since we will in all likelihood face this same piss shower again at the end of the calendar year.
I was very moved by your resignation announcement. Although you've never done the right thing for the right reasons, hey, you talk the talk. I think a little...

Dear Bernie,
Like millions of Americans, I’ve been watching your campaign with growing excitement. You’re spot on about the pernicious effects of rising inequality and absolutely correct that the United States now resembles an oligarchy more than a democracy. I applaud your willingness to directly and repeatedly denounce the billionaire class that runs this country. And I wholeheartedly support your call for universal health care.
It’s been a joy to watch you make Hillary Clinton squirm as your poll numbers rise. I smile every time I imagine the possibility of a self-described socialist calling for a political revolution winning the Democratic nomination. I’m encouraged that you have made fighting racism a priority in your campaign, alongside the rest of your progressive agenda....

TO: Alex Neve, Director, Amnesty International Canada
Anthony Romero, DIrector, ACLU, New York
Dear Fellow Friends of Freedom,
Forgive me for communicating in public like this but NSA has been blocking my emails and telephone calls to you and your offices and they have been threatening and terrorizing my Canadian family for years - even with two shootings and many death threats. I have been exiled to China and was warned my family will be killed if I ever set foot in North America again.
No, I did not escape from the insane asylum. I am a former government employee of the U.S. Treasury Department, Department of Justice, a honorably discharged military veteran, former fortune 500 executive, an former executive with American Financial Group, and a whistle blower who...

Question I often get asked: would you push your children down the route to become a doctor?
Answer before graduating medical school: yes if they expressed interest in medicine, I would encourage it.
Answer now: Not unless medicine was the only thing they want to do (like me) but I would encourage them to look at other career pathways and think about the quality of life they might be signing up for. I would tell my child (and indeed any other child that asks) that there are plenty of ways of helping people, not just medicine. I would say that unless they have spoken to many doctors, read blogs/articles written by a wide variety of doctors and done a good period of shadowing of a full time NHS junior doctor, maybe consider something like law or better yet engineering if they want a...

Dear Madame President,
As someone who, during 16 years in the United States Congress, has celebrated the US-South Korean friendship and who maintains deep ties with the Korean community in the United States, I respectfully write to express my concern about the policies of your government, which are anti-democratic and which discredit the sacrifices that American soldiers made so many years ago in Korea's defense.
The arrest and imprisonment of an elected member of your Congress, Lee Seok-ki, on charges of sedition, will be noted by members of the United States Congress who are painfully aware of the personal and political risks which can attend challenging an administration whose politics greatly differ. Your attempt to outlaw an opposing political party, your use of your National...
