Canada: rejoining the Anglosphere

January 26, 2006 12:00 PM ET | Permanent Link | Print

James Bennett has some very interesting ideas on how Canada under its new Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper can rejoin, and expand, the Anglosphere. Bennett makes a point of advising Harper to emphasize Canada's past and present military achievements. Liberal governments have vastly reduced the size of Canada's military. But Canada's military tradition is more glorious than most of us in the United States probably know. Interesting information comes from Austin Bay, columnist and colonel, writing in his blog and in his Creators Syndicate column. You can learn a lot from bloggers and the blogosphere.
