		Thomas Walkom hits the nail on the head ("Noble or Nutty?", October 16) when he describes plutonium as "the stuff of nuclear nightmare, for there are few substances more chilling...", and his article shows how a nightmarish dread can be nurtured by misconceptions and irrational thought.
		Walkom's claim "sniff plutonium and you die" is as factually incorrect as it is rhetorically effective.
		Walkom are not impressed by the fact that CANDU reactors can destroy "only" 50% of the plutonium, while others like Dr. Franklyn Griffiths scoff at the small amount of total plutonium available, compared to what's out there.

		Thomas Walkom's comparison of United States President George W. Bush to Adolf Hitler is offensive.
		Walkom may consider his commentary to be profound.
		Perhaps, Walkom should speak to those who experienced the bitterness of the Third Reich before he sets pen to paper on this subject.

	Let It Bleed: "It's an interesting question" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		Thomas ( Bush-Isn't-As-Bad-As-Hitler-But-Only-Because-He-Hasn't-Had-Time-To-Build-More-Death-Camps) Walkom has taken time away from his recent crusade defending the right of pit bulls to be free from meddling government efforts to stop them from mauling people to argue that Canada should arrest and charge George W. Bush with war crimes when he visits Canada later this year.
		Now, Walkom is likely terribly unversed in the intricacies of international law: hence his reliance on the pronouncements of Kofi Annan that the invasion of Iraq was illegal, a rhetorical gamble nearly as farcical as relying on the receiptionist at a law firm to render a decision in a tax-law case.
		Perhaps Walkom and his groupies will mewl about the need for humanitarian interventions, or how NATO involvement legitimated the war against Serbia, all of which is well and good so far as it goes; but it does not speak to the question of whether the actions were legal or illegal under international law.

	Robert Fulford's column about OCAP and The Toronto Star
		Walkom's extreme views as an ordinary piece of news, the Star effectively welcomed one of the most disturbing trends in the recent history of public life in North America and Europe, the mixing of political demonstrations and mindless, anarchic violence.
		Walkom also referred to these illegal acts as "the techniques of anarchists and other direct-action aficionados to get things done." Here he misused "aficionado" to make crime seem friendly -- "aficionado" means a fan, or an enthusiast, not a lawbreaker.
		Walkom's story, which gave every sign of being fuelled by impotent anger and a hope for violence, derided the normal and mostly peaceful public demonstrations of the 1980s and 1990s -- marches, meeting at the legislature, etc.

	eye - Passing the buck on bias - 08.02.01
		Walkom's 2,400-word story quoted various Ontario union leaders who supported the "direct action" tactics used by activists who trashed Ontario finance minister Jim Flaherty's Whitby constituency office in June.
		Walkom's piece was more essay than report, connecting a series of points to make a pretty sound argument.
		Fulford accused Walkom of "radically misusing language" to defend the indefensible.

	The Inferiority Complex
		Walkom wrote this op-ed for the Toronto Star (my city's largest paper.) And he just doesn't seem to get it.
		Walkom's "clever" jab at the phraseology, "wow" is all that comes to mind.
		Walkom cites, he would be advised to note that it made no demands.

		Charles and Elizabeth Walkom and their family arrived in Sydney on board the "Plantagenet" on 13 February 1857.
		If anyone has any information on John Walkom who married Anne in 1821 (supposedly), it would be most appreciated as I have hit a brick wall with this one.

	CJPA - 2003 Edition - The Three Questions: Prosperity and the Public Good by Bob Rae (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		Thomas Walkom, former Toronto Star political columnist provides a meaningful critique of this book and Rae's future vision for social democratic governments in Canada.
		Walkom suggests that Rae has provided little to differentiate himself from the Liberal Party, but I would argue forcibly against this, for I believe the NDP will always play a valuable role in Canada in providing with us with a more balanced political continuum.
		Although Walkom provides a meaningful critique of Rae's book on the basis of his knowledge and experience, Rae's strengths as a reflective practitioner clearly outweigh this criticism.

		Which is why his column today attempts to hew a line between the more hysterical leftist commentary on the US election and that of the more triumphalist right.
		Unless you adhere to the line that the US is in the grips of some sort of totalitarian cult of personality, wherein any result less than 100% support is viewed as a crumbling of the power edifice.
		Granted, given Walkom's historical view of George Bush as compared to Hitler, perhaps that's the explanation after all.

		So Walkom (and Romanow) are absolutely right - a first step is to get some reliable funding in place from Ottawa.
		There are things that can be done about this, and I will be discussing them in later posts, but the first step is to recognize the problem - that all costs aren't rising proportionally.

		In his Nov. 16th editorial in the Toronto Star, Thomas Walkom admits the question is an interesting one.
		As Walkom puts it, “Any conduct defined as such by customary international law or by conventions that Canada has adopted.
		Walkom mentions three great hurdles: 1) When Belgium attempted to formally indict Bush last year, the US reacted with such fury that Belgium not only backed down, but changed their law to avoid future problems.

		Thomas Walkom has never been known for his insight.
		Today, Thomas is all worked up about how mean people are being to the Khadr family.
		And, they might well be; as he mentions, they haven't yet been accused of anything more than, oh, rejoicing in the deaths of American citizens, working for the establishment of Islamofascist dictatorships in various locales around the world, sponging off the system...

		Columnist Thomas Walkom wrote an opinion piece that appeared in the April 20 edition of the Toronto Star entitled "Time to leave the Khadrs alone".
		Walkom feels that Canada’s favourite al-Qaeda family have not committed any crime that we know of and their critics who call for their Canadian citizenship to be revoked should not be listened to.
		These critics, in Walkom’s opinion should not be setting Canadian values.

	January 2004, Part 2 - Jim Miller on Politics
		To be fair, I should add that when I checked today's edition of the Star, I found this editorial applauding progress that President Bush and Prime Minister Martin made in their talks at the Americas summit.
		[Walkom's] comparison is an insult to those who suffered, died and sacrificed to destroy Nazism and it is an insult to the government and the people of the United States of America.
		One attacked the Walkom column in a way guaranteed to cause offense; the other, a reply to the editorial, urged Canadians to be hostile to the United States—as long as Bush is president.

	Daimnation!: Canada's largest paper hits bottom, digs
		Columnist Thomas Walkom concedes that Bush isn't Hitler - and implies that, in many ways, Hitler was a more admirable leader:
		Indeed, [Hitler] had many admirers in Europe and North America — people who lauded his "leadership," who lionized his moral certainty (no namby-pamby moral relativism there) and who either forgave, or actively applauded, what was then called anti-Semitism and today would be labelled racial profiling.
		Even by the Toronto Star 's subterranean standard, Walkom is disgusting.
