But he may discover it's impossible to be "sensible" and "fearless" at the same time. "Sensible" publishers go with the flow. They don't tell Ottawa to stuff its publishing subsidies. They don't challenge gay rights, nutball feminism, the Charter establishment, the academic establishment, the medical establishment and the political establishment. They do not blaspheme the Spirit of the Age. If they do, they lose their national agency advertising (as we did after 1985), and they lose credibility in "sensible" eastern Canada. ..... ........We documented, week by week and decade by decade, the destruction of freedom and democracy in the institutional life of our country - in the government, the political parties, the media, the courts, the schools, the professions and business. It began with Trudeau in 1973 and ended with Chretien in 2003. That was our achievement. Anyone who wants a complete record of how Canada went from a free nation to a servile banana republic - from a world leader to a backwater - from an ordered society to a chaos of institutionalized self-indulgence, ignorance and social distrust - can find the whole thing summarized in 30 volumes. Freedom and democracy survive only in the hearts and minds of individual Canadians, not in our institutions. this really stands out to me. Thanks
