Have you ever witnessed someone get extremely angry over something that seemed trivial? Anger that’s expressed at a level 10, but the issue is only a 2. I remember driving in downtown Toronto many years ago with my boss on a way to a client appointment. Some guy in the next lane was honking his …

On Letting Go ‘revived’
I came across this blog from 7 years ago today. I still think so many people carry unresolved issues around with them that affect their behaviour. More about that soon, but for now, here’s a refresher thought.
Unsung Heroes
Horrible storms have been playing havoc in the last several weeks all over North America. Thankfully, most of the snow and rain has somehow overlooked our little safe haven in Southern Ontario, but we have been hit by high winds. Over the weekend, wind gusts over 110km (about 70 miles an hour) damaged a 40-foot …
The Honourable Rosalie Silberman Abella
Canada has their own RBG. In fact, Ruth Bader Ginsburg referred to Rosalie Silberman Abella as her ‘dearest sister-in-law’. While their careers and accomplishments mirror each other, in my opinion, the latter had a greater effect on their country’s laws. On this International Women’s Day, I wonder why the world, particularly women’s rights followers and …
‘No More’ Isn’t Enough!
This week is “No More Week” from March 2 through 8 ending to coincide with International Women’s Day. While “No More” began about male violence about women, it is about shedding a light on domestic abuse and sexual violence. It’s been almost 12 years since I left my abuser of 22 years. Twenty-two years? you …
Olympic Afterthoughts
It’s over for another 4 years. The Milano Cortina Olympic Games 2026 were wonderful to watch and I can only imagine how participants feel. Canada is proud of all our athletes and those who support them. No matter how one looks at it, Norway comes out on top. Congratulations to Norway! Whether it’s gold medals …

Minnesota should join Canada!
Trump: Gone too far or too far gone?
Amidst rumors of stroke, dementia and general mental decline, the President of the United States is demonstrating behaviors of a mentally and emotionally imbalanced person lashing out at anyone he feels has been personally offensive. This is his rationale for outrageous, disrespectful comments about NATO and leaders of Canada and European countries. Trump’s latest affront …
Canada’s Prime Minister gets Rare Standing Ovation at World Forum
For those of you who might not have had the opportunity to hear Mark Carney’s quiet yet deliberate eloquence, a fellow Canadian blogger has offered us the entire speech. Well worth the read. I have never been so thankful for our leadership and so proud to be Canadian. No speech writers here – this is …

Canada says “Hands Off Greenland!”
Note to readers: When I published this I didn’t know that in 1917 Denmark sold its Caribbean islands to the United States – renamed the U.S. Virgin Islands. As part of the treaty, U.S. recognized Denmark’s sovereignty over Greenland. Donald Trump has such an inflated sense of self intelligence and importance he thinks he’s pulling …
