May 2018 On a recent road-trip, I made my way to the now infamous Roxham Road, the now-officially-designated unofficial and illegal Point-of-Entry straddling the Canada-American border at Quebec and New York State, where economic migrants come to make their refugee claims in contravention of the Safe Third Country Agreement. As I was already in the …

May 2018 In a small cemetery west of Oxford, New York, lies the mortal remains of Merrit Beardsley. What makes the grave of “Little Merritt” unique is that this small, above-ground tomb has a window at one end. On a cold, snowy night in December 1865, “Little Merrit” Beardsley, an 8-year-old boy, was dying of …

April 2018 Re: “A matter that matters” (Michelle Mandel, Toronto Sun, 21 April), the one aspect of this case of Avanle Hassan Ali that really jumped out at me is the conclusions of the examining psychiatrists, that being, “The doctors concluded his delusions and psychosis left him unable to realize his actions were morally wrong.” …

April 2018 David Livingston got off very lightly being sentenced to only 4 months in jail. Livingston should have been sentenced to 10 years in prison, but I’d be willing to cut it down to a year if he starts talking. Livingston owes it to all Ontarians to tell who else was involved and what …

March 2018 Although I’m a conservative, I have no problem criticizing conservatives and praising liberals when each deserve it, unlike most progressives who seem to have such a hatred for anything or anyone right-of-centre, they are blinded by their own partisan biases. In this case, I would like to praise Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. How …

March 2018 In honour of Women’s Day, I wish to highlight that the many of the progressives who are embracing and fetishizing the hijab in North American society are forgetting the fact that there are women in Islamic countries like Iran who are risking their personal safety to fight for the right to choose whether …
