BOB WAKEHAM: Is there a parallel on Trump's treatment of the press with NL politicians? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Those latest childish attempts by the deranged loon and frighteningly unhinged Donald Trump to demolish his country’s much ballyhooed and centuries-old rights guaranteeing freedom of the press are, at the very least, another piece of embarrassing evidence that he has turned the United States into the laughing stock of the world. Once a largely admired and even envied country, despite its flaws (a domestic history of slavery and a habit of highly questionable, if not immoral, intrusion into the a
BOB WAKEHAM: Politicians must put NL first as Churchill Falls deal debated (opens the original)
Read excerpt
No matter what their party affiliation or philosophical leaning, be it to the left, the right, or somewhere in between, politicians — at least the vast number from all sides in this province that I’ve been employed for decades to keep a skeptical eye on — utilize verbiage, speechifying and the distilling of information in a manner that is consistently self-serving, designed to curry favour with voters and help place their arses in a lucrative seat in the House of Assembly. As Joey Smallwood so f
BOB WAKEHAM: A brutally honest memoir by NL icon Mary Walsh (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you happen to get your hands on a copy of Mary Walsh’s recently published memoir and are understandably expecting a belly full of laughs, you’d probably end up slightly disappointed. For sure, there’s a healthy dose here and there of humour in “Brassy Bit of Aging Crumpet,” a series of autobiographical essays ranging from her childhood to her present-day existence in the septuagenarian category of life. How could there not be? After all, this is Mary Walsh: a Newfoundland legend, an icon, a h
Bob Wakeham: We can blow billions on white elephants like Muskrat Falls, but we can’t afford a hospice facility (opens the original)
Read excerpt
My Dad’s final week of his wonderful, eclectic and fun-filled existence was spent in a room in the palliative care unit at the Miller Centre in St. John’s, seven days I remember vividly, as if it was yesterday. Quite obvious, those memories have found a permanent spot in my memory bank because I knew at the time I was saying good-bye, not just to my father, but to my best friend, a man who treated me with unabashed love from our time catching mud trout on Radio Range Brook outside Gander right t
BOB WAKEHAM: Poor performance, poor apology for NL tourism minister's speech in France (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I was tempted — only slightly, mind you — to give a rest, a pass, to the matter of the amateurish delivery of two speeches by Tourism Minister Andrea Barbour at Beaumont Hamel on July 1 during ceremonies marking the 110th anniversary of arguably the saddest, most tragic day in the history of this centuries-old place of habitation. After all, as I debated the merits of writing a column on the dog’s breakfast served up by Barbour on that hallowed piece of Newfoundland ground in France, I had to ac
