Reflection on injustices experienced by me and others from a Canadian woman's perspective.
I never saw myself writing about politics. My bailiwick has been women’s rights, human rights, being a stepmom, being a grandparent, taking care of an elderly parent with Alzheimer’s Disease and surviving abuse; basically my personal experiences. Right now, though, I feel the need to write about what’s going on in the world. Trump shows …

I am disgusted by many of the actions of our southern neighbor’s Felon Leader over the last month, but today I’m focusing on the possibility that he might put an end to Black History Month in the United States. Rest assured that February will continue to educate and celebrate Black History Month in Canada. I …

This man has gained my utmost respect by hopefully kicking a few asses. Here is what he wrote: “Today is my 91st birthday. It’s an …

Some Canadians see the threat of a 25% tariff and Donald Trump’s subsequent reference to our Prime Minister as the ‘Governor of the 51st State’ as a joke; but Canadian social media has exploded with retorting, threatening jibes that I won’t quote. Let’s just say Canadians don’t appreciate the United States’ President Elect’s shock jock …
Haven’t been WordPress for ages, but I’m glad I looked this morning to find an offering from a favourite writer. Hindsight: My Journey
I watch the news daily. I watch Canadian news, American news, British news and European news. When I see what’s going on around the world, specifically regarding the Covid-19 pandemic, I shake my head in disbelief. I have never been more proud to be Canadian. We, as a nation, have done well in battling this …
Where l live, we’re 105 days into lockdown from the pandemic. Although we’re slowly re-opening, with caution; it’s obvious that we’re not going to see ‘normal’ any time soon. I haven’t written a lot lately, perhaps because I’m not in a real positive place. I’m tired. I’m tired of 2020. I want 2019 back, or …
When will we learn that racism is rampant in our world? Yes, I’m appalled by Christian Cooper being accosted by that dog-walking bitch in Central Park. Yes, I’m disgusted by a jogging Amaud Arbery being chased and shot in Georgia by two idiots who blindly assumed the poor man was a criminal. And yes, I’m …
In Canada, we’re mourning the lives of 22 people who were senselessly murdered by a lone gunman in quiet, friendly rural Nova Scotia on April 19, 2020. At the time, the mass shooting accounted for more deaths than Covid-19 had in the province with a population of almost one million. For the first few days, …
