LATEST COLUMNS:Writing for VIEWPOINT On this page » YOUR SPACE

THE NATIONAL: REX MURPHY
A foolish exchange elevated to a point of privilege "It's been a week of dogs, debate about dogs, and denial on dogs...The nation is presumably transfixed over whether Peter MacKay referred to Belinda Stronach as a dog last Thursday."
» FULL COLUMN | MORE FROM REX MURPHY
VALUE ADDED: MADELAINE DROHAN
Beware of politicians who equate rising GDP with happiness "The point is that GDP is good at what it does, which is to measure the value of goods and services produced. But it should not be mistaken as a barometer of progress. For that we need other tools."
» FULL COLUMN | MORE FROM MADELAINE DROHAN
Trevor Metz GLOBAL VIEW - CHINA: TREVOR METZ
No justice for foreigners "Let me sum this up," I said. "I was cheated, then assaulted, then assaulted with a weapon, then this man lied to you about his injuries, and now you are extorting money from me?""
» FULL COLUMN | MORE FROM TREVOR METZ
Heather Mallick HEATHER MALLICK: STAND ON GUARD
Caught Red®-handed "If this revolting (Product) Red® scheme disgusts someone like me whose affections are easily sold, then it must really be beyond the pale, both morally and logically."
» FULL COLUMN | MORE FROM HEATHER MALLICK
Larry Zolf POLITICS: LARRY ZOLF
McKenna, missile defence and Martin "His thesis is interesting: McKenna is saying the United States was not really expecting Canada to join in on the Iraq war … nor was it looking for military aid in Afghanistan. What America really wanted Canada to do was to put all its resources and money into a ballistic missile defence scheme."
» FULL COLUMN | MORE FROM LARRY ZOLF
Colleen Ross GLOBAL VIEW - GHANA: COLEEN ROSS
Child veterans look for redemption "Davis says it took him a while to understand that the AK-47 thrust into his small hands could kill. 'On Christmas Day, our daddy always bought us toy guns … So I thought it was a toy gun in my hands once again. But when I advanced it and shot it, it waved me back and forth. So then I knew it wasn't a toy gun anymore.' He looks into the distance. 'Most of the time, the commanders gave orders to the little ones to do execution. They thought that would keep us brave.' "
» FULL COLUMN | MORE FROM COLLEEN ROSS
Watson CANADA IN DARFUR: MARK WATSON
At sea in Darfur "One year you find yourself at sea on the Atlantic Ocean working with NATO and the next in the middle of a desert assisting a peacekeeping mission for what has been described as the world's worst man-made disaster."
» FULL COLUMN | MORE FROM MARK WATSON
Richard Handler RICHARD HANDLER: THE IDEAS GUY
Rendering our evil ways "Evil may even be better than capitalism or race or hurt feelings as a motive to explain the terrible things that go on in the world."
» FULL COLUMN | MORE FROM RICHARD HANDLER
Georgie Binks MODERN LIVING: GEORGIE BINKS
How do you dismantle the nuclear family? "Divorce is extremely costly and takes money away from those who need it most — the kids."
» FULL COLUMN | MORE FROM GEORGIE BINKS
John Gray GRAY'S WORLD: JOHN GRAY
A Liberal exhibition "If Stéphane Dion were more fluent in English, and if his political base were someplace other than Quebec, his candidacy for leadership of the Liberal party would be a slam dunk."
» FULL COLUMN | MORE FROM JOHN GRAY
Martin O'Malley OBSERVATIONS: MARTIN O'MALLEY
Ian Scott: the political colossus is gone "I remember Scott as one of the brightest lawyers I've ever met - indeed, one of the brightest people I've ever met. "
» FULL COLUMN | MORE FROM MARTIN O'MALLEY
GLOBAL VIEW - UGANDA: JONATHAN WOODWARD
Power failure "The country is plagued with brownouts and blackouts, and for four years now the government has failed to get a new power plant on track."
» FULL COLUMN | MORE FROM JONATHAN WOODWARD
Stephen Strauss SCIENCE FRICTION: STEPHEN STRAUSS
From farm to plate "Big farms have the economy to be rigorous about their cleanliness habits."
» FULL COLUMN | MORE FROM STEPHEN STRAUSS
Beatrice Ekwa EkokoMINDING YOUR OWN - HOME BASED EDUCATION
Can kids get proper socialization at home?"Home-educated brother and sister Sean and Devon Atherton of Hamilton have tried school and had very different experiences."
» FULL COLUMN | MORE FROM BEATRICE EKWA EKOKO
Tom McFeat TOM McFEAT: ON THE MONEY
Choices, choices: Is it time to lock in ... or float? "Make no mistake, these are agonizing choices. Lock in for five years and you could watch helplessly (and enviously) while your neighbour who chose to float with the market reaps the benefits of falling rates."
» FULL COLUMN | MORE FROM TOM McFEAT
GUEST COLUMN: THOMAS ROSE
Should having a home be a human right? "So long as there is a greater number of homeless than the number of beds available in shelters, the reasoning goes, sleeping restrictions should not be placed on the homeless."
» FULL COLUMN | MORE FROM THOMAS ROSE
Cpl. Brian SandersAFGHANISTAN DIARY
Pin it on my chest "Personally, I hope I don’t have to add to the story of my medal."
» FULL COLUMN | MORE FROM CPL. BRIAN SANDERS
