The CBC is not a regular media outlet. It’s a state broadcaster, which gets its mandate from the government, and is showered with public funds. The CBC’s privileged relationship with the government creates special responsibilities — one of the most important of which is a dedication to...

You’re talking about Aisha, or عائشة بنت أبي بكر in diddler language. Aisha was six or seven years old at the time of her marriage, and nine at the consummation? Nine years old? That Muhammad was quite the gentleman to wait that few years until she was the equivalent of a child in Grade 4 in...

Well, it’s the one thing I can think of that wasn’t Anti-Oil (& damn the torpedoes) from his Gov’t in a decade, so it did seem curiously suspicious….
