Many are not aware of what these 16 days represent, so I felt it necessary to explain.

Canada More Proud Than Ever!
As the world learns how strong and free Canada truly is, its people rejuvenate national pride. Social media is flooded with proclamations of how adults demonstrate strength, clarity, consideration, inclusivity, and poise in citizenship, leadership, and relationship-building. We’re taking the higher road. An example is this week’s move to by the Canadian Government to halt …
No One Heeded Her Advice

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 …
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. This time, however, the only question is: Which …
Canada’s Future Depends on the Election
Canadians go to the polls on April 28th, 2025. This might be the most important election in Canadian history.

Canadians Fight Back!

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.

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 …

A Canadian’s Viewpoint: Trump has a God Complex
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 …
