Toronto District School Board plays political games at the expense their students

Published in the Toronto Sun, 30 March 2017 Re TDSB ban on new trips to U.S. political correctness gone mad (Sue-Anne Levy, March 27): Do the TDSB play political games?  Let me count the ways.  Generally if you have ALL your required documents and no criminal convictions, you will have no problems crossing the border. If …

Electoral reform is dead, and not a moment too soon

February 2017 I’m not going to criticize Justin Trudeau for backing down on election reform, which I believe was the right thing to do.  He apparently listened to those telling him there was no general desire for changing a system which has served us well for 150 years, which is how democracy works. What I …

Trump derangement syndrome

  February 2017 The leftists continue to lose their minds in the wake of the defeat of their anointed-one.  Now it appears that “Trump derangement syndrome” is rearing its ugly head.  In a recent Facebook exchange with a life-long friend, he advised me that Trump is exhibiting most of the signs of a fascist dictator and …

“Don’t ask, don’t tell” makes a mockery of our immigration laws

February 2017 Re:  Will police not tell (Toronto Sun, 27 February 2017): Toronto City Council are close to overstepping their authority by asking the police to consider expanding the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy, a part of the “Sanctuary City” philosophy, and I hope Chief Mark Saunders tells them as much when he reports to …

M-103 is a dangerous slope to be going down

February 2017 So let me get this straight; Takek Fatah, a liberal, secular Muslim is called a “kafir”, an apostate from Islam, and subject to be killed by Muslim’s who subscribe to this interpretation of sharia law, for speaking out against the problems he sees within his own religion, yet in Canada, we’re worried about …

February 2017 Canada is seeing a growing number of refugee asylum seekers crossing illegally at remote land crossings in Quebec, British Columbia and Manitoba, instead of at proper customs entry points. These refugee claimants, some traveling with children, feel they must flee the U.S. by “the fear of what may happen to them under a …

Trudeau reverses promise on pensions for disabled veterans

February 2017 I’ve openly criticized the former Conservative government for canceling life-time pensions for disabled veterans, now it looks like I’m going to have to criticize the Liberals for their flip-flop on his promise to restore the lifetime pensions. Our service personnel do a job that most people wouldn’t want to do. We owe them …
