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. You know, like the ones that claim the lives of young children in their beds, or a mother of two children outside a Leslieville “safe” injection site. Well, there are …

August 2025 When most people think of the War of 1812 battlefields, they think of areas from the St. Lawrence River, to Lake Ontario, to Lake Erie. Many will forget that Lake Huron and Georgian Bay also saw action during the war. Wasaga Beach is now a beach resort community, but during the War of …

July 2025 I have mixed feelings regarding the recent court ruling in London’s Superior court. Legally, it was the right decision, but from a moral standpoint, it’s sickening that it even happened in the first place, and both sides have mud on their faces. Regardless of their acquittal in the courtroom, I still think each …
