March 2017 The Hamilton Parks Police Force was a special constable force that patrolled parks within the City of Hamilton, Ontario, from 1943 until 1963.

  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 …

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 …

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 …

Articles, Editorials, Original Writing

by

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 …

Articles, Editorials, Original Writing

by

February 2017 I think it’s disgraceful how intolerant most progressives can be regarding anyone who doesn’t share their opinions.  MP and Conservative leadership candidate Kellie Leitch has been taking a lot of heat for stance on screening immigration and refugee applicants for what she referred to as “anti-Canadian values.” Now in the wake of the shooting at …
