Reflection on injustices experienced by me and others from a Canadian woman's perspective.
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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …
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 …
The Canadian election, happening Monday, October 21, 2019 is still too close to call. There are several factors that make it so. I’m not a political writer, but several non-Canadians readers have asked, so here’s my take on Canada’s election. I apologize for the length of this article up front. You might want to grab …
