December 2024 Is it just me, or did Justin Trudeau get spanked like the petulant child he is by Donald Trump, during his recent visit to Mar-a-Logo? I honestly don’t believe that Trump wants to impose a 25% tariff. He certainly will if he has to, but I believe only if necessary. Along with being …

Published in the Toronto Sun, 19 October 2024 Prime Minister Justin Trudeau: RELEASE. THE. NAMES. It shouldn’t matter that Pierre Poilievre doesn’t want to get his security clearance updated so he can view the report. If this is such a national security issue, and it is, that you would publicly state that there are Conservatives …

October 2024 Should Canada have mandatory voting? Well, that depends on whether we can better inform voters or not. Voting, whether it’s mandatory or not, rarely comes to any good if the voter is clueless to the important issues and the track record of the political candidate. Arguments have been made that getting to the …

October 2024 Re: 401 tunnel study must not be an afterthought (Jay Goldberg, Toronto Sun, 5 October): While the proposed Highway 401 tunnel may be an obnoxiously expensive project for our already heavily-indebted province, one that has already shown itself unable to keep budgets and timelines in order, Premier Doug Ford’s tunnel idea could work. …

August 2024 “I didn’t give up. I just couldn’t carry on. There’s a difference.” Firstly, my name is Bruce and I am an alcoholic.

August 2024 The debate over safe supply/consumption sites is one that I find really, really frustrating. One side says that if we close safe consumption sites, more people will die, while the other side says that if we don’t close safe supply/consumption sites, more people will die. Who’s telling the truth? Well, it depends on …

August 2024 Loblaw recently announced the creation of their ultra-discount No Name store concept, with first three stores scheduled to open in September in Windsor, St. Catharines and Brockville.
