April 2021 “There by the grace of God go I.” That’s one thought that entered my mind when I first heard of the death of Natasha “Carla” Abogado, after being hit by a speeding undercover police truck, driven by York Regional Police Detective-Constable Remo Romano, back in February 2014. As a retired police officer, I …

March 2021 Ever since the McGuinty/Wynne Liberal governments foisted their failed Green Energy Act on us, Ontario have been saddled with shockingly high hydro rates.

March 2021 Now that six Dr. Seuss books, including If I Ran the Zoo and Scrambled Eggs Super!, have been banned for having racist and insensitive imagery, I guess this book from my own childhood will be banned too, if it hasn’t already.

March 2021 Some people are all too happy to heap scorn and condemnation on Mark Machin, former Chef Executive Officer of the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPPIB), for traveling to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) during this pandemic.

February 2021 For those who still think it’s a great idea to de-fund the police, or even disband their police forces, Minneapolis City Council recently decided that disbanding their police force would be a bad idea, less than a year after the June 2020 vote.
