Black History Month: We Need to Keep it Alive!
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 …

Former Canadian Prime Minister gives U.S. President Elect a Piece of His Mind…
The Honorable Jean Chretien, Prime Minister of Canada from 1993-2003 turned 91 today. In honour of his birthday, he wrote an opinion article in Canada’s newspaper, The Globe and Mail. 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 …

No Joking Matter
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 …
A Canadian’s Perspective on Covid
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 …
105 Days In and I’m Angry
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 …
Don’t Skirt the Real Issue!
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 …
Domestic Violence Rising Amidst Covid-19
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, …
Mending Wall
We all know that the world sees Canadians as being polite. Over the last several weeks I’ve often thought this as I watch our Prime Minister, our Deputy Prime Minister, our Health Minister and our Chief Public Health Officer in their daily press conferences. As journalists try to bait each federal representative to openly criticize …
The Calm in the Storm
Finally, some good news: Canada can vaunt immobilization of thousands of companies that have quickly transformed manufacturing and assembly lines to create ‘Made in Canada’ solutions for personal protective equipment including masks, gowns, face shields, ventilators and testing kits which will be available in the coming weeks and long into the future. As our Ontario …
