November 2016 Sometimes Canadians trip over ourselves in our smugness of how we feel we are so much better than Americans. We don’t have the gun and racial problems Americans do. We have free healthcare (which isn’t really free as we pay very high taxes for it, but I digress) and live in a harmonious …

November 2016 At eleven o’clock on 11 November, the citizens of Barrie (Ontario) observed two minutes of silence, just as their fellow countrymen did all across Canada. A few thousand gathered at the Cenotaph in Memorial Square in downtown Barrie to pay their respects to the men from Barrie, Vespra Township and Innisfil Township, who made the …

November 2016 Well, I’m really enjoying seeing all the heads of the left-wing progressive voters exploding in the wake of the election of Donald Trump as the 45th President of the United States. It’s also deliciously ironic to see all the protesters out there protesting Trump’s victory, stating he’s “Not my president,” when Trump was …

Published in the Barrie Examiner, 9 December 2016 The issue of a “living wage”, especially for minimum-wage workers, is in the fore-front once again. This isn’t an easy issue to resolve as it’s very much a question of balance. If the minimum-wage is too low, workers have difficulty affording even the basic needs, let alone having …

October 2016 I think it’s disgraceful how intolerant most progressives can be regarding anyone who doesn’t share their opinions. Conservative leadership candidate Kellie Leitch has been taking a lot of heat for stance on immigration and refugee applicants be screened for what she referred to as anti-Canadian values. For example, anyone who doesn’t support Trudeau’s Syrian migrant, …

October 2016 Well, I just got my hydro bill. I may not be able to afford to shop at the dollar store this month. Looks like I’ll have to switch to the 33 cent store. I hear they just got a new shipment of plankton, which is good news since I can’t afford canned …

September 2016 My fellow Ontarians who voted Liberal in the last provincial election: are you happy now? Are you happy that you stopped that evil Tim Hudak and his cronies from slashing and burning the provincial public service to the tune of 100, 000 workers, a number that was only 40, 000 fewer than OPSEU …

August 2016 In the run-up to the legalization of marijuana, there are issues that I hope will be covered in the legislation. Some SHOULD be obvious. How are police and the courts going to deal with the rise in cases of impaired by drug while operating a motor vehicle that we will surely see? Of …

May 2016 Re: Captain Canada (Toronto Sun, May 27): First it was former House of Commons page and “Stop Harper” protester Brigette DePape, then terrorist Michael Zehaf Bibeau and now the obnoxious jerk, Brian Murphy, who interrupted the 1916 Easter Uprising commemoration. The message to any miscreants out there is pretty simple: …

May 2016 Every year, memorial services are held across Canada and the United States honouring police and peace officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty over the past year. Serving officers line up in parade formation and march in honour of their fallen comrades in a solemn ceremony. It’s …
