June 2020 The crowds that packed Trinity-Bellwoods Park on May 24 may have been committing a careless act (future infections from the participants will tell), but in way I can hardly blame them. Firstly, we have been receiving so mixed messages, outright flip-flops and blatant disregard of “the rules” by our political leaders, that it’s …

May 2020 While we likely will never stop trading with China, I think we seriously need to question why we rely on them so much for a lot of the merchandise in our stores, and other needed items like medical supplies and pharmaceuticals. Now, I do understand why so many of the things for sale …

May 2020 Even though governments and environmentalists do their best to convince the general public that electric cars are the way of the future and that the days are numbered for cars powered by fossil fuels, the general public doesn’t seem to be playing along. Electric vehicles still have some serious obstacles and limitations that …

May 2020 Even though we are still living with the deadly Wuhan coronavirus, we do need to begin the process of returning to some semblance of a normal society.

May 2020 A recent MSN news report hypothesises what the after-effects the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic will have on the way hotels do business in the future.

May 2020 Now that we have suffered though SARS and the Wuhan coronavirus, will we listen to the Taiwanese and Chinese ex-Pats the next time they try to warn us about another coronavirus coming out of China?

May 2020 Although I don’t own a cottage, nor know any one who does, I’m going to throw my two-cents in to the discussion. While the permanent residents of our cottage regions are entitled to their opinions, I’m not buying a lot of the arguments they are putting forth. They are concerned that the local …

May 2020 Re: “Sharpen those scissors,” (Ben Eisen, Toronto Sun, 5 May 2020): The lefties are going to lose their minds, but cuts will have to be made to government spending when the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic ends. This means that not only will the (hopefully) temporary assistance programs have to end, but some of our …
