Purpose
There exists a whole galaxy of bloggers (political blogs at BlogsCanada) who comment on every press release, rumour, question period issue and bowel movement on Parliament Hill. We check many of them regularly. They all serve a purpose, but it is not our purpose. We want to go beyond the day-to-day issues to look at exactly why they are issues, where they originated, what we’ve done in the past about them (and each issue has a past) and what they mean for us today.
The Blogger
Borys Gengalo has been a historian, community organizer, army officer, political hack and management consultant. Among other things. Indeed, as his brother has said, anything but an honest job. He has informed, entertained and bored his friends and companions with a particular, thoughtful take on the politics of the day. Many of them, perhaps hoping for a respite from his pronunciations, have encouraged him to write those thoughts down for a wider audience. So go blame them.
Policy on Comments: Respect
This blog is dedicated to developing discussions that lead to a better understanding of our political and security system. We want to discuss issues, not engage in name-calling contests. Comments that challenge accepted ideas are welcome. Comments that question both the premises and facts within posts and other comments are welcome (ok, maybe not exactly welcome, but accepted). And let’s make this clear: questioning means raising issues of fact or interpretation. It does not mean name-calling or personal assaults. Flaming will not be tolerated.
