		<description><![CDATA[As the Olympics approach I am trying hard to get into the mood and share some of the fun and excitement.  But I am having a problem.  I can&#8217;t find the excitement.  And no one seems to be having any fun, nor do many think they will even when the Olympics start. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ideologues have their place.  Mostly it is in irrelevant and out of the way places like think tanks and obscure academic departments.  There they are largely harmless as they spin us with their imaginary worlds  and irrelevant schemes.  However, they can become a problem if they are able to occupy important [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The senior deputy  minister in the BC government has left the job after four years in the position.  This in itself is neither remarkable nor significant.  Having myself served in this position to two BC Premiers in the 1990&#8217;s, I can attest to the unrelenting demands of the job.  It is not a position that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you follow the political columnists, you would be excused for thinking that Canada is tiring of our electoral system failing to generate a majority in Parliament.  There is widespread agreement among them that the House of Commons is dysfunctional, that the nation&#8217;s business is not getting done, and that politics has become a perpetual [...]]]></description>
