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.

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.

Ontario Place re-development meant to be a tourist destination for all, not just the wealthy

Published in the Hamilton Spectator, 23 January 2026 Redevelopment will bring jobs, revenue Re: Ontario Place is a $2-billion test of our priorities, Jan. 17 If only things were as plain and simple as scrapping the redevelopment of Ontario Place.

It’s guilty until proven innocent for ICE Agents

January 2026 Firstly, I want to be VERY CLEAR that from what I observed on the numerous videos that I’ve viewed, Renee Good did NOT deserve to die, but is it too controversial of me to say that we should let the investigation play out before we pronounce Special Agent Jonathan Ross guilty of murder? …
