Be careful what you wish for – The weaponized DOJ indicts former President Donald Trump

June 2023 With the indictment of former President Donald Trump been indicted on charges of mishandling classified documents, the U.S. Department of Justice will now start preparing the paperwork to indict current President Joe Biden and former Secretary of State and Senator Hillary Clinton, also on charges of mishandling classified documents.

Running on subsidies – Stellantis tries to squeeze more money out of Canadian taxpayers

Published in the Toronto Sun, 29 May 2023 Re: “Trudeau swerves again” (Brian Lilley, Toronto Sun, 27 May): Once again, the deal with Stellantis proves that the “green industry” runs on subsidies, not a viable, profit-oriented business model. In one sense, I can’t blame any business from trying to get what they can from governments, …

Light Rail Transit is proving to be a costly boondoggle for Toronto

May 2023 Given the latest issues surrounding the trouble-plagued Eglington Crosstown LRT line, over-budget and years behind on its construction schedule, can someone remind me why it’s a good idea to build a dedicated LRT line, instead of dedicated bus lanes? The benefits of having lanes dedicated exclusively to transit vehicles are quite obvious, but …

How many is too many? – Our politicians need to actually do something

May 2023 Repeat their names: Andrew Hong, Morgan Russell, Devon Northrup, Grzegorz Pierzchala, Maureen Breau, Travis Jordan, Brett Ryan, Shaelyn Yangm and Eric Mueller. Are you listening Justin Trudeau? Doug Ford? These are all the police officers killed across Canada since last September. While policing is an inherently dangerous profession, at what point do we …

May 2023 On 7 May, police and peace officers from Ontario, Quebec and even New York City, were at Queen’s Park to honour Ontario police officers who lost their lives in the line of duty.  Four officers killed in the past year, and one historical death, were honoured at this years’ service.

Politicians must be paid by the taxpayers, but why is the CBC?

Published in the Barrie Advance/Metroland Media, 28 April 2023 Re: Editorial cartoon for Simcoe.com, 27 April 2023: Your editorial comic in the 27 April edition does need some context.  While it’s true that Pierre Poilievre’s salary is paid by the Canadian taxpayers, as are the salaries of all politicians, at all levels, the big difference …

Are Electric Vehicles really wanted by drivers and the auto manufacturers?

April 2023 In speaking about electric vehicles to a young-looking cashier at my local grocery store, I was surprised to learn that she was not at all interested in owning one herself. I thought the younger generation were all on board with “saving the planet,” having been told for years by Al Gore and Greta …

A missed opportunity for affordable housing

April 2023 I’m frankly confused why jurisdictions like Toronto, and Ontario in general, complain about a lack of affordable housing. In many cities across Ontario, there are numerous empty, or underused, municipal and provincially-owned buildings that could easily be converted into affordable housing. Municipalities and provincial ministries that have inherited housing from closed from closed …

Electric Vehicles aren’t really emissions-free

April 2023 While I would never accuse Doug Ford of being an environmental zealot like Steven Gilbeault, the insistence that by pulling “…critical minerals out of the ground to put in the EV vehicles and the batteries to make sure we take cars off the road,” doesn’t really make a lot of environmental sense when …

The CCP election interference scandal deepens – Don Valley North MP Han Dong owes Canadians an explanation

March 2023 As a retired police officer, I understand that a person is innocent until proven guilty, and Don Valley North Member of Parliament (MP) Han Dong may not have done anything contrary to the best interests of Canada, including being a agent for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). That said, I do have a …
