June 2011 Recently while driving along Lakeshore Drive, I saw two protesters outside Barrie MP Patrick Brown’s office with a “Stop Harper” sign. While I really do appreciate the fact that we are free to protest ourgovernment without fear of imprisonment or worse, can’t we give the “Stop Harper” rhetoric a break? Sure some people …

June 12, 2011

In celebration of the Duke of Edinburgh’s 90th birthday, I present some famous quotes from a man who only has a vague understanding of the meaning of the term “political correctness”: Collected from various sources: “Are you Indian or Pakistani? I can never tell the difference” “How do you keep the natives off the booze …

Good News – Bad News

3 May 2011 Given that Michael IgnatieffI and the Liberals have clearly been defeated by the Conservatives in the General Election, I wonder if Iggy (AKA Michael Ignatiff) is glad that he forced the election now? Now that she has a seat in Parliament, the good news for Elizabeth May is that she can now justifiably …

May 5, 2011

5 May 2011 A writer on Simcoe.com wrote, anonymously of course, criticizing me for my letter “PM didn’t ‘seize’ power – he was elected”, (Letters, April 20), where I was responding to a letter published in the Midland Mirror, “Vote to stop ‘diabolical’ prime minister” (April 8). This WEB writer, who hid under the pseudonym …

Doesn’t have the right to govern? I wonder if these whiners realize …

Vote to stop “diabolical” prime minister??

Categories:

April 13, 2011

Published in the Midland Mirror 19 April 2011 Letter writer Vincent Barns is rather offensive with his letter, “Vote to stop ‘diabolical’ prime minister” (April 8, Midland-Penetanguishene Mirror). First of all, Harper was democratically elected, not once, but twice. He did not “seize” power. Secondly, he is not an “acting Prime Minister”. He is the …

Public vs Private Sector

Categories:

April 3, 2011

3 April 2011 To raise public sector salaries when private sector wages stagnate or drop is a touchy subject, but I wished to throw in my two cents (no pun intended). Although I am a public sector worker, and have my opinion, there are good arguments on both sides. Yes, we generally have very …

In fact, they should have been promoted “full policeofficers” and given a full mandate for protection and enforcement ofTTC property. The TTC S/C Service was a specialized …

Enough greenwashing

February 6, 2011

February 2011 Re: Enough green-washing (Totonto Sun, February 4, 2011), Charles Adler hits the nail on the head. Three or four times a week, I go to my favourite coffee shop for a cup of coffee. I always order it in a ceramic mug, rather than a disposable cup. However, I frequently chuckle to myself, …
