I always knew that many Americans are prejudice. I remember back in the late 60s a friend of mine drove south through the States with a friend. He returned with stories of how many times the two were stopped by police, explaining that he figured it was because he looked like a hippy and his …

National Remembrance Day and Activism on Violence Against Women
This blog is 5 years old and it’s sad it’s still necessary to bring people’s attention to this horrific issue…
16 Days of Activism: Defined
Many are not aware of what these 16 days represent, so I felt it necessary to explain. The 16 days start on November 25th, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, through to December 10, Human Rights Day. The 16 days call for solidarity to end violence against women and girls everywhere. …
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 …

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. In Canada’s federal elections we vote for our local Member of Parliament and the Leader of the Party with the most votes become the Prime Minister. In theory, and under normal circumstances, the concept is that …
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, …
