So, what got me thinking about perspective? While sitting at my computer one day last week, the background TV was on an episode of Life After People on Story Television and they were specifically discussing what would happen to Detroit’s buildings 40 years after a population disappearance. They kept mentioning how the harsh weather extremes …

Well Played, Prime Minister!
In his first press conference since winning the Canadian election, yesterday Mark Carney offered straight talk. No fanfare, no bravado, just direct plans for Canada’s future. As he often does, our Prime Minister provided a hockey analogy saying that Canadians play opposite each other on many different teams, but when it comes to the Olympics …
Do Most Couples Talk?
Finding your soulmate later in life has both challenges and rewards. The challenges include being set in your ways and carrying baggage from previous relationships and life in general. Without sounding too corny the benefits can be summed up in the Streisand/Adams song: “I finally found someoneWho knocks me off my feetI finally found the …
Get Over It, Canada!
So, Mark Carney remains as Prime Minister. Anyone who knows me knows that’s what I was hoping for. Actually, I would have been happy if the Liberals had won with a majority, but I’ll take it. Kudos to the man who wants to play hardball with Trump. But that’s not all. Carney wants to build …
Canada’s Election – Final Thoughts
Thank you Donald Trump for making Canada’s election an easy choice. Many Canadians typically vote based one party’s platform over another. Many Canadians (including me) historically have changed from voting for one party to voting for another based on the economy, the world situation, and other factors.

Family Stories – Truth or Fiction?
I knew from a young age that Maritimers were tellers of tall tales by sitting around the kitchen table in my grandparents’ Lunenburg waterfront home listening to my mother and her siblings tell detailed, interesting stories. I understood some of these were yarns as a result of my father’s occasional debunking remarks. I also caught …
Canadians Fight Back!
United States’ Leadership has underestimated Canadian Leadership and the Canadian people. “Elbows Up” means Canadians are protecting ourselves and prepared for the fight. We will continue to do so until there are neither tariffs nor threat of tariffs. As Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said, directed to Felon Trump, “Even though you’re a very smart guy, …
Trump and Vance Bully President Zelenskyy – it was clearly a set-up
We all knew it wouldn’t go well, but did anyone expect this? For the last week we’ve watch President Emmanuel Macron and Prime Minister Keir Starmer pump up Trump’s ego. They were playing Trump’s game. But they’ve all made a drastic oversight. To President Zelenskyy, and to the Ukraine people, it’s not a game. The …

Detroit/Windsor Relationship in Peril? I Think Not!
Windsor is across the Detroit River which forms the most traveled border crossing between Canada and the United States. People who don’t live in the State of Michigan or the Province of Ontario may not understand how close we are. Canadian and Americans cross our border daily for work, shopping, entertainment and visiting friends. Since …
