Politics '07.Surprise! We have good leaders
Politics is a bone crushing, spirit sucking, contact sport that takes no prisoners and it peaks when the combatants come together for the obligatory ritualized winner take all televised debate. You have to have thick skin, know no shame and be lucky.

A spring lament for our country’s soul
Next month I’m going to drink beer, ride my bike, watch my daughter play baseball, read books, take a beginners course in gardening from my wife if she buys me knee pads, (it’s never too late), sail, and consider adopting a religion.

Laurentian University strikes a different course
Occasionally, even when you have grey hair, things don’t play out the way you expect. I am on the board of Laurentian University in Greater Sudbury and generally the most exciting part of the board meeting is to try to find parking.

A book, a committee, the beginning of change
I thought when it happened it might be a little more dramatic...perhaps an illness, an accident, a retirement, maybe a bankruptcy. But no, the first official absence of my column from Northern Ontario Business in 25 years was mundane. I was busy.

So, how will it look in four years???
Dear John, Tom, Lynn, Vic and John; Congratulations on your success. There is no greater honour than to be elected to lead your community. The voters, who know you well, have said they trust you.
