  • A vital element in keeping the peace is our military establishment. This conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is the new Canadian experience. Its influence is felt in every city, every board room, every restaurant on Sparks Street. We must not fail to comprehend its glorious patriotic implications. We must never let the weight of our liberties and democratic processes endanger this huge industrial and military machinery of defence. It will shape the very structure of our society. In the councils of government we must strengthen the power and influence, overt and covert, of the military-industrial complex. So let’s throw some money at it as quickly as possible.





  • Sure that would be technically more correct, more tasteful, and less confusing. But some people may not know the words “port” and “starboard.” Frequent train users would become accustomed to it soon enough but you’ll always have some people from out of town whose first language is not English, and their limited vocabulary is more likely to include “left” and “right.” On a utilitarian basis we must weigh their needs in the equation when considering this problem. Then again there are also some people who can’t tell left from right either. We could paint one side of the train green and the other red, but then we might have a problem with the colourblind train users’ lobby.
