Mixed emotions and great betrayals

June 2019 After watching Clint Eastwood’s 2018 film “15:17 to Paris”, a film about three Americans (Spencer Stone, Anthony Sadler, and Alek Skarlatos) and one Frenchman who stopped a terrorist attack on a Paris-bound train, I’m both inspired and disheartened.  What these four brave men did was extraordinary and exactly what I would see myself …

A pain that won’t end

June 2019 The death of anyone in a motor vehicle collision is a tragedy, but when young children die, there is little that can be done to make anything better. It was heartbreaking watching an interview that Jennifer Neville-Lake gave to Global News last year, describing the pain she is left with in the wake …

Never missing an opportunity to virtue-signal

June 2019 You have to admire U.S. Vice-President Mike Pence for his decorum and restraint in the face of having to endure a lecture from our fake feminist and Virtue-Signaler-in-Chief, Justin Trudeau.  Besides the fact that the abortion issue has nothing to do with international trade, nor had absolutely nothing to do with the purpose of …

What if I had chosen suicide?

June 2019 I’ve attended many police funerals in my two and half decades in Law Enforcement, including the funeral of an auxiliary constable from the last police service I worked for, who died in an off-duty traffic collision (he left behind a wife and three young children).  I’ve also attended annual memorial services held to …

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 …

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 …
