Bring out the firehoses – No More Mr. Nice Guy

March 2026 While it’s undeniable that the $10 million the federal government is offering to assist Jewish organizations in enhancing security is a good thing, how about tackling the “root causes,” as progressives love to yammer on about when it relates to one of their preferred groups?  I say the time is long overdue to …

Toronto Island – A little piece of paradise in Canada’s biggest city

March 2026 The Toronto Islands are only around a mile off shore from Toronto’s waterfront, but once there, it can seem like a whole world away from the bustle of Canada’s largest city. The Toronto Islands are a chain of 15 small islands in Lake Ontario, providing a sheltered harbour for the city. Originally a series of sand-bars …

Nothing in this world is free, even OSAP

March 2026 In regards to Premier Doug Ford’s plan to reduce the amount of OSAP designated as grants from 85% to 25%, it’s regrettable that for those who are able to secure a spot in a post-secondary institution, many will have to incur more debt to obtain that degree/diploma. Some who do not have any …

Stop throwing away good officers just because they get sick

March 2026 On 4 March 2026, I reached a significant milestone in my life: 10 years of sobriety. It’s also been 10 years and one month since I came off the road as a patrol constable so I could get the help I needed to get and stay sober. I would never return to active …

Immigrants to Canada and North America should do more to assimilate

February 2026 In one day, in two different cities, I saw two burka-clad women. This is on top of the numerous Muslim women I see more and more frequently wearing a hijab. I’m a fiscal conservative, but socially liberal on a lot of issues, even libertarian to a degree, so it doesn’t bother me that …

From hero to less than zero – The spectacular fall of the man formerly known as a Prince

February 2026 The fall from grace was a long-time in coming, but given the revelations of the past decade, not unexpected. We all have stories of brushes with greatness, where we encounter various celebrities. It’s easier than ever to capture these moments forever, but there was once a time when people didn’t have a camera …

The worst school shooting in decades rocks small B.C. town

February 2026 On 12 February, Canada was rocked by the worst mass shooting since 2020 and the worst school shooting since the École Polytechnique de Montréal shooting in December 1989. In this case, the shooter was a troubled young man with a history of mental health problems, who the mainstream media are more concerned with …

Largest police corruption scandal in recent years a gut punch to the good officers

February 2026 I’m sickened, disgusted and angered with the announcement on 5 February by York Regional Police of the arrest of seven Toronto Police Service officers, one retired Toronto Police Service officer, along with 19 additional suspects in a seven-month investigation into organized crime and corruption. This was quickly followed by the suspension of two …

Democrats fail to understand the difference between legal and illegal immigration

February 2026 I really enjoy a good debate, but I’ve found it next to impossible to have a reasonable debate with leftists, as they fail to distinguish between facts and feelings. As retired rapper Dr. Dreidel, better known as American political commentator Ben Shapiro, has to continuously remind people, “Facts don’t care about your feelings.” …
