November 2025 According to a report in the Ottawa Citizen by David Pugliese on 10 November, Prime Minister Mark Carney wants to draft federal civil servants into the Canadian Armed Forces reserves? Would those be the same civil servants who have a problem coming back to the office 5-days-a-week? Those civil servants?! Seriously?! Did he …

November 2025 I’m continually amazed at the logic of some of the readers of The Hamilton Spectator. In his Letter to the Editor (“This is why we need electoral reform,” 11 November), Chris Cardey disparages our first-past-the-post system of government, claiming that Doug Ford’s government has a “false majority,” and this is why we need …

November 2025 Well, it’s official. The new mayor of New York City is Zohran Mamdani, the 34-year-old New York State Assemblyman from New York’s 36th State Assembly district. It never ceases to amaze me how the useful idiots on the political left keep tightening the noose around their own necks and other liberal democracies by …

November 2025 So, in the space of a few days, Canada’s “Great White Hope,” Prime Minister Mark Carney, has bowed down to Chinese PM Xi Jinping and apologized to President Donald Trump for the very accurate anti-tariff advertisement featuring former President Ronald Regan.

October 2025 Regarding the high prices for Blue Jays tickets on the resale market, the only way the price insanity is going to end is if people stop buying them, plain and simple. In reality, all products and services are only worth what people are willing to pay for them. If people refuse to pay …

October 2025 On tonight’s menu is a delightful dinner featuring crow as the main course, with humble pie for desert. What do you do when, after chanting “Free, Free Palestine/Gaza” for the past 2 years in the streets of Canada and America, you here the voices of the Gazans chanting President Donald Trump’s name in …

October 2025 The cold, hard truth is that there is no such thing as $10 a day daycare. It simply doesn’t exist. Daycare costs what it costs the provider, plus a profit margin, something that is necessary for the continued operation of any business, including a daycare. The only way that providers can charge parents …

September 2025 An absence of balance. That’s what I see with much of the talk regarding the Indian Residential Schools. A recent column written by Sean Carleton, associate professor in the Departments of History and Indigenous Studies at the University of Manitoba, and Benjamin Kucher, a graduate student in the Department of Anthropology at the University …

September 2025 There’s an old proverb: “Give them an inch and they’ll take a mile.” Premier Doug Ford has announced his government will ban photo radar on municipal roads by next month. This is a reversal of his government’s 2019 legislation permitting their use, citing an “out of control” program. It seems that most, if …

September 2025 Wow, what a difference a week can make. I started writing this column when the future of of Jimmy Kimmel’s late night talk show, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, was in doubt. Now, I have to re-write sections of this column as the American Broadcasting Network (ABC) and its owner, the Walt Disney Company, have …
