October 2024 Re: 401 tunnel study must not be an afterthought (Jay Goldberg, Toronto Sun, 5 October): While the proposed Highway 401 tunnel may be an obnoxiously expensive project for our already heavily-indebted province, one that has already shown itself unable to keep budgets and timelines in order, Premier Doug Ford’s tunnel idea could work. …

October 2024 I debated writing this column as I didn’t know if everyone would get the point I’m making here, but here it goes anyway. Now that the National Day for Insincerity and Hypocrisy, otherwise known as 30 September, is over, can we have an honest conversation about why this day is pretty much a …

August 2024 “I didn’t give up. I just couldn’t carry on. There’s a difference.” Firstly, my name is Bruce and I am an alcoholic. At a recent support group meeting, the daily reading touched on something that I know very well, that being professions that are soaked in booze. It’s a little scary just how …

August 2024 The debate over safe supply/consumption sites is one that I find really, really frustrating. One side says that if we close safe consumption sites, more people will die, while the other side says that if we don’t close safe supply/consumption sites, more people will die. Who’s telling the truth? Well, it depends on …

August 2024 Loblaw recently announced the creation of their ultra-discount No Name store concept, with first three stores scheduled to open in September in Windsor, St. Catharines and Brockville. What a great new idea for a store! Oh wait, am I the only one who remembers when No Frills stores were literally like walking into …

August 2024 Regarding the backlash over Doug Ford’s comment that patients can get MRIs at animal hospital, it’s a shame that some people have lost their sense of humour. Of course it was a joke. Get over yourselves, you humourless pratts. However, on a serious note, Ford’s comment does draw attention to the fact that, …

Published in the Toronto Sun, 7 August 2024 As someone who had gotten my share of parking tickets, along with the occasional speeding ticket too, I can honestly say that I deserved each and every one of them. It wasn’t the “big, bad” cop or parking enforcement officer who was at fault. The best ways …

July 2024 Re: “LCBO workers in line for 8% wage hike before tentative deal collapsed” (Brian Lilley, Toronto Sun, 19 July): In light of recent developments, I believe that it’s time for the Ford government to make the LCBO union the same offer that President Ronald Reagan made to the air traffic controllers in 1981: …

July 2024 When the Ontario government announced on 21 June that the Ontario Science Centre’s Don Mills building was to be closed effective immediately, due to serious structural issues with the roof, there have been no shortage of protests and screeching voices declaring that the building must be saved and not demolished. People are acting …

July 2024 One of the things that has become very, very apparent is how far from classical liberalism the Liberal Party of Canada has drifted, to the almost cult-like following of Dear Leader, Justin Trudeau. Supporters seem incapable of acknowledging how far Trudeau has strayed from true liberal values and into a socialist worship cult, …
