March 2025 Published in the Toronto Sun, 7 April 2025 Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed that in 2015, former PM Stephen Harper was seen as stuffy, boring and not terribly exciting, but Justin Trudeau was seen as cool, hip and a true rock star! It’s no wonder Canadians chose Justin over …

March 2025 The hypocrisy of the “tolerant left” has been on full display in recent weeks, as the Democrats in the America and the Liberal Party of Canada north of the border, have engaged in something that no rational person could see as anything other than cynical political stunts.

February 2025 I’m normally a “glass half-full” kind of guy, but I think there might be a bright spot in all of this for Bombardier, the manufacturer of the CRJ900 jet that crashed at Toronto Airport.

February 2025 Re: “Polievere states reality, stated there are just 2 genders” (Brian Lilley, Toronto Sun, 23 January): I absolutely agree with both Polievere and President Trump’s declaration that there are only two genders.
