Petite Auberge Les Bons Matins B&B
Montreal has it all, live theatre, music, a vibrant arts scene, and exceptional restaurants in a French joie-de-vivre culture. On a recent business trip to Montreal, I was lucky enough to have been booked into the Petite auberge Les Bons Matins B&B. While it bills itself as a B&B, it
Canada’s Presence in Afghanistan: Why We Are There And Why We Would Do A Disservice To The United Nations And Ourselves If We Didn’t See The Mission Through

Nineteen UN agencies are in Afghanistan to help the Afghan people and its democratically elected government establish a solid and secure democratic society.

Innovation in Canada’s Science and Technology Sector: Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s New Strategy
Governments do not create prosperity. It's created by business and the best thing government can do is mitigate any unnecessary interference with companies as they do their business. Canada has the world's fifth-largest aerospace industry with world-beating companies, such as Bombardier and CAE, and with the workhorse of NASA —
Canada’s Muscular Military: The Throne Speech Façade
Pity the Canadian Forces. They must surely be suffering from an identity crisis. It was only a month ago that the government strutted the Forces before the public eye so we could see their biceps bulging, their pecs rippling. Just listen to the overflow of machismo in the Throne Speech
Afghanistan and the Polls: Change the Question – Change the Numbers

Strategic Counsel, which is the

As we continue in our quest to encourage readers to "See Canada from Sea-to-Sea-to Sea," we decided to feature a little-known bed and breakfast in the Maritimes called Step-Aside B&B. Here you'll find the genuine hospitableness and kindness that Maritimers are famous for. After journeying with my son to the
A Midwinter’s Bite of the Big Apple
Got the winter blues or a little cabin fever? Well here’s the cure: New York City. David Letterman is right when he calls it the greatest city in the world. It is. Put aside the fact that it is the commerce centre of the universe or that its storied history
Giving Up On Government As An Agent For The Public Good…Is Not A Good Idea
When I first got into the commercial polling business, about 70% of Canadians held a somewhat favourable impression of politicians. Today, more believe in the devil or that Elvis is alive than hold this particular point of view. Now, I know all of us smirk knowingly, from time to time,
Some Day at the Beach! Destination Weddings: Cuba
When my brother-in-law announced his intention to wed in Cuba, my wife Trine literally jumped for joy. She had seriously considered holding our wedding party on a beach in the Caribbean, so she could get hitched while barefoot in the sand. I was happy too – I like a beach vacation
The Cowboy Trail: A Father and Son Journey to the Calgary Stampede and Rocky Mountain Dude Ranch
I've always dreamed of taking my son to the Calgary Stampede, visit a ranch, and then go horseback riding in the foothills and do some white water rafting in the Kananaskis River Valley. I thought it would be a great father-son trip. Knowing that my 10-year-old son loves the outdoors
