This is exactly the sort of 'interview' I love. Two intelligent people having a free flowing discussion without trying to outdo the other. No gotcha moments or raised voices just a reasonable exchange of views but remaining substantive. Both have fascinating anecdotes, often humorous, revealing absurdities of life and the judiciary in particular. It is quite shameful that Mark's own programme has been shelved because it seemed to me he highlighted very important issues which are not discussed impartially by other outlets. For example he discussed the mass migration catastrophe, Islamist terrorism and freedom of speech from my perspective which the BBC, CNN, ABC nor any major news network covers except by pursuing their own multiculturalist narrative. Keep up the great work Mr Black and Mr Steyn. Great respect to both of you.
Mark is an amazing man and so true to his principles. I happen to agree with all he says, but even if I didn't, I would still have the height of respect for the fact that he os fighting for a good cause, not his rightness of his statements, but his right to state it. I wish we had more like him walking around.
I will not be renewing my CRTV subscription after learning his show was cancelled. Steyn is an amazing talent in addition to his special gift of wit coupled with conservative commentary. I was surprised to find him on CRTV and stunned to see him go. I'm questioning Levin's judgement and see failure in the future of his disjointed network. I would love to see Mark compete with Levin at the 1800 time slot.He is the best talk show host and deserves better.
when i was a kid and living in buffalo i lived next door to Tim Horton when he played for the sabers used to look at his white pantera in his driveway he died in that car driving back to buffalo after a game with toronto or montreal now all these donut shops everywhere always a reminder people dont know he was a real guy he was a nice guy to me big guy now hes a coffee brand
My politics differ from Steyn and Black's but I always will listen because sometimes an opposing point of view makes a great case even though you may disagree with them on many other issues.
So enjoy listening to Conrad Black and Mark Steyn in conversation. Somehow I missed Bill Clinton's blocking air traffic while he had his hair cut. Didn't miss his blocking air traffic while he discussed "golf and grand kids" with Loretta Lynch.
I too am a Nobel Laureate....with multiple wins!!!! I have Canadian connections and PM Pearson won a prize, and I have plenty of Jewish friends, with Jews being the most awarded ethnic group. You're welcome world!!
I also notice the oddity of Americans referring to their poobahs by their titles. It reminds me of the royal family, who refer to each other as "the Duke of Edinburgh", the "Prince of Wales", "the Queen", etc. If Prince Charles has a mother, you'd never know it to hear him talk!
Great line in there by Mark Stein... "It ought to bother everybody" and by Conrad Black, "(Benefits of the potential).... leads to awful complacency..."

An enormous pleasure to listen to two great minds. I admire both immensely, however, for some obscure reason, Black has a blind spot whenever he mentions FDR. He considers Roosevelt an excellent president for ending the Great Depression and for war time leadership. Actually, the depression lasted longer in the US because of Roosevelt. FDR recognized the Soviet Union's communist government before other major leaders. There is credible evidence that he allowed the attack on Pearl Harbor to happen to hasten America's entrance into WWII, not because he wanted to save Democracy, but because he wanted to help his buddy, Uncle Joe Stalin. FDR's administration was riddled with communists as the Venona Project proved. More sinner than saint.
Around 1:00 Mr. Black implies that Tim Horton played for the Montreal Canadiens. He didn’t. He played for the Toronto M. Leafs and ended his career with the Buffalo Sabres. His last game played was in MF Gardens, The Sabres against the Leafs and he died in a car crash driving back to Buffalo NY after the game.....he didn’t play well that night. I’ve forgotten who won the game. It was either 1969-70 or the next season.
I love Conrad Black's belief in the viability of America's future; however his optimism with regard to the containment of Islam is perhaps sadly unwarranted. At this moment France is probably beyond recall. a
I'm 50 minutes into this video and am tired of the America bashing from two Canadians. I've been a big Mark Steyn fan but now I'll have to rethink that.
Its 2021 in Canada and boy are we in trouble, deep thinking counts for nothing as does a balanced budget. A trillion dollars in debt with nothing to show for it!

Two of the greatest speakers and minds in Canada right here. This was such a treasure to find!!

As for motive...jealousy?

Steyn pulled out. It wasn’t cancelled.
I did not want that to end.
when i was a kid and living in buffalo i lived next door to Tim Horton
when he played for the sabers
used to look at his white pantera in his driveway
he died in that car driving back to buffalo after a game with toronto or montreal
now all these donut shops everywhere always a reminder
people dont know he was a real guy
he was a nice guy to me
big guy
now hes a coffee brand
I’m a “Nobel laureate “...... oooh thanks Mark....fancy missing that out on my next resumé...... Christmas greetings from the UK
*Balm for the soul. Real men with real intelligence, speaking in sentences...*

This video was several yrs old when it was published.

In 2023, the US military spent approximately $820.3 billion, or roughly 13.3% of the entire federal budget for that fiscal year.
Sounds like there's a book that could be written about the trouble with the us legal system.
There has never been a greater Canadian wordsmith than Lord Black. I read his books more for his style than the actual subject matter.

It would be great to incorporate Conversations with Conrad into the new CRTV, which already has Mark Steyn, of course.
I don't think JT and his cabinet got that memo about the hockey stick lie.
2 excellent authors
conrad black's book on Nixon is awesome!
Sounds like Jarndyce vs Jarndyce.
I like this guy, Canadian thinker
When recorded??

The discussion at this time line was referring to Quebec. Conrad was noting that Tim played in Montreal not that he played for them.
You can understand the dissociation between the legal system and minorities.
Thеse men who make a man out of the soil. And all these books have been read ?!

This must be from a few years ago, Mark has lost a ton of weight since then.

+RJ Stewart *Are they America bashing, or merely pointing out problems which happen to be occurring in America, at this time..?*
I LIKE DINESH!!!!!!!
FYI#AlexJones
FYI#CanadaPoli
Mark, God Emperor Trump the Elder will direct the Federal Reserve to coin an 18 Trillion dollar coin. What do you think of that?
GO AHEAD...DISS AMERICA....THIS IS MY LAST TIME.
Steyn is very wordy.
Its 2021 in Canada and boy are we in trouble, deep thinking counts for nothing as does a balanced budget. A trillion dollars in debt with nothing to show for it!
After hearing this Steyn has one less follower from America.
James Dunlop - truth is painful!! As a former US Army officer - I am so disillusioned with the USA I agree wholeheartedly with Steyn!!
