December 2022 Councilor Shelley Carroll and Toronto District School Board (TDSB) Chair Rachel Chernos Lin should be ashamed for comments they made on Newstalk 1010 to host Jerry Agar, regarding the issue of the unprecedented violence in TDSB schools and the cancelling of the School Resource Officer (SRO) program, leading to the most violent year …

December 2022 OK, so the big take-away from the testimony of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his fellow ministers is that it doesn’t matter what the letter of the law is under the Emergencies Act, we are going to make up our own definition of what constitutes a national emergency. I’m hoping that Justice Paul …

November 2022 Published in the Toronto Sun, 5 December 2022 Re: The value of CBC (Toronto Sun, Letters to the Editor, 27 November): Wow!

November 2022 Re: “No More Masks” (The Hamilton Spectator, Letters to the editor, 24 November): If you want to keep wearing a mask for the rest of your life, go right ahead. You don’t need a government mandate; just wear one if you want, but no one should be forced or shamed into wearing one …

Published in the Toronto Sun, 19 November 2022 So let me get this straight: Toronto council has accepted the cost of $6.3 million to re-name Dundas Street and Yonge-Dundas Square?

November 2022 Not that I want to knock CUPE of their smug high-horse (OK, I do, but I still have a point), but a little context to Premier Doug Ford’s pledge to revoke Bill-28 is needed. CUPE turning this into a David & Goliath victory, but I’d like to argue that Doug Ford decided to …

October 2022 With an apparent lack of self-awareness, Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino is “Shocked! Shocked, to find that” the RCMP is displaying a lack of transparency by choosing not to release the badge numbers of the officers who cleared the protesters from the Ambassador Bridge blockade in Windsor last February. That’s the same Marco …

October 2022 We’re told that gas-powered cars are bad for the planet, so we all have to drive electric vehicles. We’re told that plastic shopping bags are also bad for the environment, so we have to use re-usable bags. electric vehicles have their own environmental issues, as do re-usable bags, which also have sanitary issues, …

September 2022 For the first time, I agree with something the President Joe Biden has said, that being that the COVID-19 pandemic is over. This is some long overdue common sense, something that our own Prime Minister Blackface could emulate. Of course, this doesn’t mean that the COVID-19 virus is gone. There are many viruses …
