Published in the Toronto Sun 5 May 2011 The corpse of Michael Ignatieff’s Liberal leadership isn’t even cold yet, and already the left-leaning whiners are complaining Stephen Harper doesn’t have the right to govern because he only got 39.62% of the popular vote.

Published in the Midland Mirror 19 April 2011 Letter writer Vincent Barns is rather offensive with his letter, “Vote to stop ‘diabolical’ prime minister” (April 8, Midland-Penetanguishene Mirror). First of all, Harper was democratically elected, not once, but twice. He did not “seize” power. Secondly, he is not an “acting Prime Minister”. He is the …

3 April 2011 To raise public sector salaries when private sector wages stagnate or drop is a touchy subject, but I wished to throw in my two cents (no pun intended). Although I am a public sector worker, and have my opinion, there are good arguments on both sides. Yes, we generally have very …

March 2011 Re: TTC special constables worth the money (Joe Warmington , Toronto Sun, 3 March 2011):it was a very short-sighted decision to disband the TTC SpecialConstable Service.

February 2011 Re: Enough green-washing (Totonto Sun, February 4, 2011), Charles Adler hits the nail on the head. Three or four times a week, I go to my favourite coffee shop for a cup of coffee.

Published in the Toronto Sun 11 July 2010 Re: G20 prisoner #0106: Sa (Toronto Sun, July 1, 2010), Wow! I usually agree with Rachel’s columns, but this one is too much.

Bevelaar and Levesque, although off-duty and without their safety equipment, recently entered a burning and smoke-filled Wasaga Beach home and rescued a male occupant, overcome by …

30 May 2010 This is a question that I submitted to Duran Duran’s web site (www.duranduran.com). “Ask Katy” section. How easy (or hard) is it to say that a song is complete; that no more tinkering with the arrangement or re-recording certain elements are necessary?
