Mark is an amazing man and so true to his principles. I happen to agree with all he says, but even if I didn't, I would still have the height of respect for the fact that he os fighting for a good cause, not his rightness of his statements, but his right to state it. I wish we had more like him walking around.
I will not be renewing my CRTV subscription after learning his show was cancelled. Steyn is an amazing talent in addition to his special gift of wit coupled with conservative commentary. I was surprised to find him on CRTV and stunned to see him go. I'm questioning Levin's judgement and see failure in the future of his disjointed network. I would love to see Mark compete with Levin at the 1800 time slot.He is the best talk show host and deserves better.
This is exactly the sort of 'interview' I love. Two intelligent people having a free flowing discussion without trying to outdo the other. No gotcha moments or raised voices just a reasonable exchange of views but remaining substantive. Both have fascinating anecdotes, often humorous, revealing absurdities of life and the judiciary in particular. It is quite shameful that Mark's own programme has been shelved because it seemed to me he highlighted very important issues which are not discussed impartially by other outlets. For example he discussed the mass migration catastrophe, Islamist terrorism and freedom of speech from my perspective which the BBC, CNN, ABC nor any major news network covers except by pursuing their own multiculturalist narrative. Keep up the great work Mr Black and Mr Steyn. Great respect to both of you.
when i was a kid and living in buffalo i lived next door to Tim Horton when he played for the sabers used to look at his white pantera in his driveway he died in that car driving back to buffalo after a game with toronto or montreal now all these donut shops everywhere always a reminder people dont know he was a real guy he was a nice guy to me big guy now hes a coffee brand
My politics differ from Steyn and Black's but I always will listen because sometimes an opposing point of view makes a great case even though you may disagree with them on many other issues.
I too am a Nobel Laureate....with multiple wins!!!! I have Canadian connections and PM Pearson won a prize, and I have plenty of Jewish friends, with Jews being the most awarded ethnic group. You're welcome world!!
I also notice the oddity of Americans referring to their poobahs by their titles. It reminds me of the royal family, who refer to each other as "the Duke of Edinburgh", the "Prince of Wales", "the Queen", etc. If Prince Charles has a mother, you'd never know it to hear him talk!
An enormous pleasure to listen to two great minds. I admire both immensely, however, for some obscure reason, Black has a blind spot whenever he mentions FDR. He considers Roosevelt an excellent president for ending the Great Depression and for war time leadership. Actually, the depression lasted longer in the US because of Roosevelt. FDR recognized the Soviet Union's communist government before other major leaders. There is credible evidence that he allowed the attack on Pearl Harbor to happen to hasten America's entrance into WWII, not because he wanted to save Democracy, but because he wanted to help his buddy, Uncle Joe Stalin. FDR's administration was riddled with communists as the Venona Project proved. More sinner than saint.
I love Conrad Black's belief in the viability of America's future; however his optimism with regard to the containment of Islam is perhaps sadly unwarranted. At this moment France is probably beyond recall. a
So enjoy listening to Conrad Black and Mark Steyn in conversation. Somehow I missed Bill Clinton's blocking air traffic while he had his hair cut. Didn't miss his blocking air traffic while he discussed "golf and grand kids" with Loretta Lynch.
Great line in there by Mark Stein... "It ought to bother everybody" and by Conrad Black, "(Benefits of the potential).... leads to awful complacency..."
Around 1:00 Mr. Black implies that Tim Horton played for the Montreal Canadiens. He didn’t. He played for the Toronto M. Leafs and ended his career with the Buffalo Sabres. His last game played was in MF Gardens, The Sabres against the Leafs and he died in a car crash driving back to Buffalo NY after the game.....he didn’t play well that night. I’ve forgotten who won the game. It was either 1969-70 or the next season.
I'm 50 minutes into this video and am tired of the America bashing from two Canadians. I've been a big Mark Steyn fan but now I'll have to rethink that.
Must have been recorded in early 2014 based on reference to Alison Redford story. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/alison-redford-billed-taxpayers-for-9-200-palm-springs-flight-1.2555794
Its 2021 in Canada and boy are we in trouble, deep thinking counts for nothing as does a balanced budget. A trillion dollars in debt with nothing to show for it!
