The Same Path?
Over the last two weeks, Ontario's airwaves have been flooded with political attack ads. Bob Hepburn writes: At breakfast early last week I was appalled to hear a political attack ad air on a popular Toronto radio station. No, it wasn’t a leftover ad from the federal election. Instead, just 14 days after the federal contest, the ad was the first of what I fear will be a wave of nasty political attacks leading up to the Ontario provincial election on June 2, 2022 — more than eight months from now. The government and the opposition are blasting their opponents: The ad from Doug Fo... read more
Will Cord-Cutting Kill Regional Sports Networks?
*Stephen Silver* *Technology, Americas* More doubts have been raised. For as long as cord-cutting has been a phenomenon, one thing that has prevented many people from taking the plunge and getting rid of cable and other traditional pay-TV: The ability to watch local sports. If you’re a fan of a professional baseball, basketball or hockey team in a metro area in the United States, then most of the seasons of your favorite team are shown on a regional sports network (RSN.) Those are available on cable, satellite, and other traditional pay-TV platforms and also, in most cases, th... read more

* Solar trade woes cast a pall over Biden’s climate goals* President Joe Biden’s climate goals are conflicting with his aim to bolster American manufacturing of solar panels — an industry the U.S. largely lost to China when he was vice president and one that can’t be rebuilt quickly. The White House is counting on solar to play a vital role in Biden’s goal to rapidly eliminate carbon emissions from electricity production. The Energy Department says solar could provide up to 40 percent of the nation’s electricity by 2035, up from only 4 percent in 2021. But the American companies th... read more

Cold War History: Could Russia Have Really Invaded Iceland?

Tom Clancy’s 1986 novel *Red Storm Rising* depicts a conventional war between NATO and the Warsaw Pact. It’s one of Clancy’s best books and, interesting for a story about a Third World War, doesn’t involve a nuclear apocalypse.
