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 …

TTC needs fully-trained police officers

Published in the Toronto Sun, 27 March 2023 If the solution to effectively combating the escalating violence on Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) property is more patrols by Toronto Police, whether on paid-duty or not, then maybe it’s time for the TTC to admit that TTC Special Constables should be elevated to full-fledged police officers, or …

Today’s conspiracy theory is tomorrow’s government press release

March 2023 Remember back three years ago when we were told that closing the border due to Covid-19 was racist and ineffective; that vaccines would prevent us from getting Covid-19; that masks were unnecessary, until they were; that Covid-19 originated from infected bats at a Wuhan wet market? Oh, and don’t forget the declaration that …

Emergencies Act Inquiry report released and it’s not a resoundingly positive endorsement for Trudeau

February 2023 On 17 February, Justice Paul Rouleau released his Public Order Emergency Commission report, related to the invocation of the Emergencies Act in February 2022, and it’s a mixed bag. While I disagree with Justice Rouleau’s finding that invoking the Emergencies Act was justified, I’m pleased to hear that, amongst other points, that he …

A question of morals

Published in the Toronto Sun/Postmedia, 15 February 2023 The sudden resignation of Toronto Mayor John Tory, in the wake of his admission of an affair with a staffer, is a sign that there are still one in public office who have a sense of decency.  One could certainly argue that, as it currently appears, Tory’s …

Doing politics differently? – Liberals court Green Party Leader Mike Schreiner

February 2023 Claiming he wants to do politics differently, Ontario Green Party Leader Mike Schreiner is apparently prepared to engage in the age-old game of political opportunism, as he “consults” his colleagues, friends and constituents as to whether he should abandon the Green Party and run for the leadership of the Ontario Liberal party. Regardless …

Toronto needs the Guardian Angels

January 2023 Re: “Spread their wings again”(Joe Warmington, Toronto Sun, 28 January): Seeing as the current solutions to violence in the city, not just on the TTC, aren’t adequate, what do we have to lose by bringing in the Guardian Angels. Their past success in New York and other cities demonstrate that they are not …
