Things I find interesting – Freedom of Choice

April 2025 I find it really interesting that suddenly, the Justin Trudeau/Mark Carney Liberal Party, a party that espouses a pro-choice message when it comes to abortion, doesn’t seem to be very pro-choice at all when it comes to the choice of whether you should be able to buy a gas-powered vehicle after 2035. Think …

Is Pierre Poilievre right in wanting to bring back single-use plastics?

April 2025 I can’t let letter writer Kyle Tilley comments regarding Pierre Poilievre’s plan to cancel the ban on single-use plastics go unchallenged, a Letter to the Editor that appeared in Metroland Media newspapers. Firstly, unless the entire world bans all plastics, not just straws and bags, our little exercise in virtue-signaling is a complete …

Get out and vote!

April 2025 As has been pointed out very clearly in the Toronto Sun on numerous occasions, this is a very, VERY, important election. For those who believe the polls out there, the Liberals are going to win a majority government, which is astounding given all the scandals and the poor shape of our country. That …

From boring to Zoolander and back to boring

March 2025 Published in the Toronto Sun, 7 April 2025 Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed that in 2015, former PM Stephen Harper was seen as stuffy, boring and not terribly exciting, but Justin Trudeau was seen as cool, hip and a true rock star!  It’s no wonder Canadians chose Justin over …

The “tolerant left” goes full hypocrisy on the Climate Emergency®

March 2025 The hypocrisy of the “tolerant left” has been on full display in recent weeks, as the Democrats in the America and the Liberal Party of Canada north of the border, have engaged in something that no rational person could see as anything other than cynical political stunts. First, rookie Prime Minister Mark Carney …

The Airport That Never Was – The Ghost of the Pickering Airport

March 2025 Over the past century, since the Wright Brother’s first successful flight, there have been almost two-dozen airports and aerodromes in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA). From international to general aviation to military airports, the GTHA has always been a busy area for aviators and airplanes of all sizes. Some, like Armour …

The upside of a downside – Bombardier jet crash lands at Toronto International Airport

February 2025 I’m normally a “glass half-full” kind of guy, but I think there might be a bright spot in all of this for Bombardier, the manufacturer of the CRJ900 jet that crashed at Toronto Airport. I see potential for a new advertising campaign. Picture this: You’re watching a video of the still-mostly-intact aircraft laying …

February 2025 The former Parliament Oak Public School in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, has found itself in the way of progress, falling to the development of a new 129-room boutique hotel in this historic and picturesque town.
