June 2007 Re: Do they deserve to be born? (Toronto Sun, May 31, 2007, regarding the birth of conjoined twins Krista and Tatiana), at the risk of being a fence-sitter, I must say this is difficult one. I do agree that life is sacred and abortion should not be used as birth control. Thus …

Ontario Provincial Police the wrong choice for Barrie
April 2007 I find it hard to believe that there are still people out there who feel that Barrie City Council should disband Barrie Police and contract the O.P.P. to police the city.

In response to Garth Turner’s Blog
March 2008 Re: Garth Turner’s blog supporting Stephane Dion’s ouster of Joe Comuzzi: Although I can certainly respect people like Joe, Garth and John Nunziata who stand up for what they believe in, regardless of the consequences, I can’t help but take Garth’s support with a grain of salt.

Quebec Sucks Canada Dry
March 2007 Although I am a conservative, I don’t support the giving Quebec any more money than any other “have-not” province. No more buying their loyalty.
