All share complicity in the destruction of that much under-rated phenomenon called liberty.

Of course the barbarians' aim of world domination has not escaped the attention of the Europeans, perhaps because unlike us they are closer to the walls.

It is not empty rhetoric to talk of the Free World.

It did not occur to us that the Marxists' solution was fraudulent or that their vision was distorted, that whatever the wrongs in our society it was not the ideology of theirs that will cure them.

I have got up at truly deplorable hours in the morning to confront Vancouver's Jack Webster on television because I have been told that is the place to get exposure for ideas.

I have been lucky enough to have had the opportunity of travelling across this country and enduring all the classic situations that go with talking to people.

Here in Canada, in the Western world, we are inside the walls. Outside the walls are the barbarians.

They are feeding the world that will devour them and their children.

Our society is not perfect and this will come as no surprise to many of you.
