Posted on Wednesday, April 11th, 2007

Until recently, it was still possible to accept the Israeli refrain that “there is no partner” for peace and that “the time isn’t right” to deal with our enemies.

Winnipeg Free Press Wed Apr 4 2007

IT’S bitter irony. The same month Ottawa issued its final cheques to the provinces for the Liberals’ brief but historic national child care and early learning progam, Canada was ranked dead last among industrialized countries in its spending on early childhood education.
