A boost for affordable housing

May 2019 Driving along the provincial highways and roads that were once designated as provincial highways, drivers will occasionally still see a roadside motel, a remnant of the many other motels since demolished that used to temporarily house weary travelers. The coming of the 400-series freeways across the province led to the end for many …

Beer Store wars

April 2019 Re: “LILLEY: Ford’s beer battle could be lost due to Wynne” (Toronto Sun, 19 April 2019): The Ford government should absolutely try to come to a negotiated settlement with The Beer Store about breaking the current contract, one that doesn’t come with huge penalties for the taxpayers.

By Justin Trudeau’s own standards, he’s racist and anti-immigrant

April 2019 How’s that for a headline? Do I actually think Trudeau is a racist and anti-immigrant?  No; but he is a stunning hypocrite! Trudeau and company have spent the last 2 years denying there was a problem with “irregular” (translation:  illegal) immigration and screaming “racist” and “anti-immigrant” at anyone on the political right who stated …

April 2019 I have a question for those who profess that selling alcoholic beverages in convenience stores will result in higher prices: Could this just be the price of convenience? Your local Macs, Circle K or Happy/Lucky/Fortune primarily exist for convenience sake; for a quick stop to get milk, cigarettes or some snacks for the …

The wrong one was shown the door

April 2019 So Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Liberal caucus have expelled former Attorney General and Justice Minister Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould and former Treasury Board President Jane Philpott from the party and banned them from running for the Liberal Party in the next election.  I think the Liberals ejected the wrong people. Apparently Prime …
