Excursing in the Public Realm | Paul Worrell Conway
https://paulwconway.wordpress.com/2015/02/02/excursing-in-the-public-realm
The Cause: Comprehensive Justice; The Tools: Reason; Imagination; Conversation. Excursing in the Public Realm. This morning I set forth to the village of Lion’s Head, to run some errands and spend the fruits of my pensions, provided (old age pension), administered (Canada Pension Plan), or enabled (RRSP) by the people of Canada, through their government. Before I even left the house, therefore, my journey was already anchored in public services. Such being the case, to speak and act as if our government ...

Putting the Propaganda Cart before the Foreign Policy Horse | Paul Worrell Conway
https://paulwconway.wordpress.com/2015/02/13/putting-the-propaganda-cart-before-the-foreign-policy-horse
The Cause: Comprehensive Justice; The Tools: Reason; Imagination; Conversation. Putting the Propaganda Cart before the Foreign Policy Horse. A Letter to Larry Miller, MP for Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound. Good morning MP Larry,. I am particularly concerned that the propaganda forming much of the public face has started to drive the policy, rather than the other way around. Do we think that the United States has no valid strategic interest in us, or in Mexico? It cannot be in Israel’s long-term or even medi...

Election 2015: August 17th: The Cause is Social Justice | Paul Worrell Conway
https://paulwconway.wordpress.com/2015/08/17/election-2015-august-17th-the-cause-is-social-justice
The Cause: Comprehensive Justice; The Tools: Reason; Imagination; Conversation. Election 2015: August 17th: The Cause is Social Justice. Away back in 1919 Stephen Leacock wrote a book called The Unsolved Riddle of Social Justice. An unsolved riddle Social Justice was then, an unsolved riddle it remains. Which is not to say that we should give up on it, as our over-arching goal. Let me therefore revise the Official Platform of my Party of One, first published here on November 14, 2014:. Explicit adoption ...

Election 2015: Discourse of August 12th | Paul Worrell Conway
https://paulwconway.wordpress.com/2015/08/12/election-2015-discourse-of-august-12th
The Cause: Comprehensive Justice; The Tools: Reason; Imagination; Conversation. Election 2015: Discourse of August 12th. The election call became official more than a week ago, and so far the air has remained unstartled by my Party of One, to some slight impoverishment of the National Discourse, I feel sure. But what could I do? But on what grounds should I aspire to even some little voice in the National Discourse? The idea that since the only sustainable political ideology and governmental practice und...

A Plea Against Simple-Mindedness | Paul Worrell Conway
https://paulwconway.wordpress.com/2015/01/19/a-plea-against-simple-mindedness
The Cause: Comprehensive Justice; The Tools: Reason; Imagination; Conversation. A Plea Against Simple-Mindedness. Of course a given winter temperature feels colder if it comes with a brisk wind, and a given summer temperature feels warmer as the humidity rises. Whether these changes are accurately measured by the reported indices, however, is entirely a different matter. What is the stock market index to all that, or the relative value of the dollar, or the price of oil or gold? Well, I’ll tell you: it i...

The Next Great Leap Forward | Mariposa Goes West: Voyageur Storytelling's 2017 Re-Tour
https://mariposabyconway.wordpress.com/2015/05/29/the-next-great-leap-forward
Mariposa Goes West: Voyageur Storytelling's 2017 Re-Tour. Leslie and Paul Celebrate Canada's 150th by Re-Tracing Stephen Leacock's My Discovery of the West Tour of 1936-37. The Next Great Leap Forward. Thanks to these people I have come a long way in the collection of Stephen Leacock Literature, or StephLeaLit, as I suppose one might call it, but still have a long and I am sure equally pleasant way to go. I started my Stephen Leacock Project with a focus on Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town. May 29, 2015.

The Cause: Comprehensive Justice; The Tools: Reason; Imagination; Conversation. Monthly Archives: March 2015. A Prism on Isms. Was my most recent post on this thing really over five weeks ago? As for barbarism, I deplore the beheading of innocent people as any humane person must, but I am not sure it is more barbaric than, for example, bombing homes from the air. Killing is killing, no matter how it’s done. Both of McGill University. But of course, as we all see every day, there’s a lot more money in Pow...

The Cause: Comprehensive Justice; The Tools: Reason; Imagination; Conversation. A Fable for November 4th. Came the day when the sovereigns were again called upon, either to confirm the appointment of the present Grand Vizier with his accompanying Vizi-Gang, or to appoint another. And lo, on that day, on that single, even signal day, did the sovereigns in their inspired collective wisdom summarily demote GV-22.2 and VG-22.2, appointing GV- and VG-23.0 in their stead. And if the sovereigns were to instruct...

The Cause: Comprehensive Justice; The Tools: Reason; Imagination; Conversation. Monthly Archives: August 2015. Probing the Panorganon to Find a Vote. Monday, August 31st. Since the election call I have been exploring ways to think about the coming election and the problem of how to vote. I have not yet come to any conclusions. Right now I am on a metaphorical kick, as you will have seen from my previous post, if you read it. Here is the status report on that:. I am imagining a “Panorganon” ru...Perhaps I...
