Is clean energy still the future?

Bullying is a problem for adults too

September 2025 Re: “Bullying still big problem for kids” (Jane Stevenson, Toronto Sun, 2 September): How about bullying amongst adults? Unfortunately, bullying doesn’t end upon reaching adulthood.

Lindsay man charged with assaulting a criminal who broke into his home 

August 2025 While on the surface, it’s quite satisfying to hear that a previously convicted criminal received a serious beat-down when breaking into a private residence, I’ll reserve judgment on whether the homeowner should be facing charges too, until more details are available.   Bottom line, Canadians don’t enjoy the same legal protections regarding defending yourself, …

August 2025 So, the citizens of Toronto want police to do something about the brazen shooting sprees that have been terrorizing the city for years.

Ghosts of Canada’s industrial past – The abandoned former Goodyear Plant in Bowmanville

August 2025 Since the early 2000s, the manufacturing sector in Canada has declined significantly in response to changes in the global economy and fewer regulatory controls over Canadian produced products.
