Peaktalk posts on Canada, and on integration
Pieter Dorsman, who I had the pleasure of meeting two weeks ago, has to excellent posts:
Into an election,

Canada’s minority Liberal government fell last night, setting the stage for a mid-January election. Good news or bad news?

and Finkielkraut recants:

It’s about ten days old, but it was a highly remarkable interview in Ha’aretz with French philosopher Alain Finkielkraut, who in no uncertain terms diminished the economic argument to explain the French riots. Instead he put forward an ethnic-religious argument which caused a huge stir in France, prompting Finkielkraut to recant.

Don't miss either.
