David Warren #16 (on Justin Trudeau)

 To listen to him during Question Period in the House of Commons — and the many criminal scandals he is being asked to account for — one might form the wrong impression.

Am I a Man of Good Will?

 I wonder.

Are progressives?  I would think not.

WeChat Book Exchange Groups

 I’m a member of such a group.  I have yet to buy anything.  Most expatriates have terrible taste in literature,

The Memoirs of Chateaubriand


 A nice little volume that I found, almost miraculously. at a used book in Brandon, Manitoba, Canada.  I’ve been scouring since then.
