Lake Shore Blvd West in Toronto this past week Perhaps I’m just older now and don’t need the Pride festival to feel good about my sexual identity.  Perhaps I’ve long ago learned to party responsibly so the loss of a weekend filled with boozy parties and running around to the

The recent momentum earned by Black Lives Matter activists and their allies is indisputable.  It finally seems that the recent murder of yet another innocent Black man, George Floyd, by a police officer in the United States has finally pushed public opinion into new progressive territory.  Even my own younger

Neo-cons resemble zombies at a recent U.S. protest against public safety I’ve gotten so angry lately when I hear about idiotic conservatives bitching and whining (even more than usual) about how they’re being oppressed by public health rules trying to minimize the catastrophic health impacts of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.

I’m thrilled to release the trailer for my new short film The Big Snore on YouTube. Yes, you read that title correctly.  But I can assure you the film will not put you to sleep – quite the contrary.  It will make you laugh, turn you on, and warm your

Independent Senator Bernie Sanders Politics is ultimately about one thing: winning. If you are constantly losing elections while simultaneously claiming you’ve taken the high road, and stayed true to every single one of your perfect, socialist principles, while you also belittle the intelligence of everyone who didn’t vote for you,

Billboard promoting Schitt’s Creek this season I just want to write a quick shout-out to the great TV comedy Schitt’s Creek, which is coming to a series end this Tuesday April 7th.  Beautifully written, produced, directed, and acted, this quirky little show has become a major hit across the world

The CP24 live online feed at 12:35 pm today I’m sad today as a couple thousand elected delegates, but also a big chunk of “ex-officio” delegates appointed to the convention with equal voting power due to their elite positions within the Ontario Liberal Party, gather in the International Centre in

Former Indiana mayor Pete Buttigieg I have mixed feelings about tonight’s news that Pete Buttigieg, the openly gay former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, and upstart Democratic presidential candidate, is dropping out of the race.  At a time like this, I want to be more generous and focus on the

Doug Ford will be happy with Steven Del Duca as Liberal leader As I predicted in last month’s blistering post against Liberal backroom operator Steven Del Duca’s candidacy for the Ontario Liberal leadership, we now have a Campaign Research poll as proof that Del Duca literally deflates Liberal fortunes and

Steven Del Duca, aka “The Automaton from Vaughan” Steven Del Duca has been described ad nauseam by Robert Benzie at the Toronto Star as the “front runner” in the ongoing Ontario Liberal leadership race. I actually knew Del Duca vaguely when he worked at Queen’s Park for David Caplan.  I

Brad Pitt in Ad Astra, my favourite film of 2019 I’m very happy to share my list of favourite films of 2019.  I would’ve shared this list sooner, but I wanted to finish watching a few flicks first. As ever, this list isn’t absolutely finite as I still have several

Happy New Year to all!  Politically, I couldn’t help but think last night as the clock struck midnight that 2020 will be a pivotal year for the world. Much hangs in the balance.  In 2020, a key question will be answered: Is this a world where a narcissistic criminal who

Ontario Liberal leadership candidate Mitzie Hunter Like the Democrats to the south who are now trying to figure out which of their presidential candidates is best to beat Donald Trump next year, big-L Liberals in Ontario are also in the throes of their own provincial leadership race to determine who

Hollywood stars invest in snoring rooms – Telegraph https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/celebritynews/8614876/Hollywood-stars-invest-in-snoring-rooms.html Marriage ends in murder after snoring lasts decades… May 24, 2019 -Authorities have expressed shock at a recent incident of a woman murdering her own husband after years of his snoring kept her awake and drove her mad.  Other famous alleged

There is a lot to digest about yesterday’s Canadian election results. Due to temporary work duties, I decided not to write publicly on the election while it was still in progress. But I can say today, like most progressive Canadians, I’m relieved we don’t have to endure Andrew Scheer’s Conservatives

Actor Scotty Murray during auditions for Big Snore Today, I launched a three-week Indiegogo campaign to help raise much-needed funds for my new narrative short film, Big Snore.  I hope that you might consider helping me out!   As many will know, I’ve been working part-time on film projects for over

I haven’t written anything here since June when I expressed my new love and support for Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren (a love and support that has only grown stronger.) My focus these last few months has been strengthening my own day-to-day life and perhaps even enjoying it more. You

Senator Elizabeth Warren is surging in this race. I’m a big fan of the Marvel Avengers series of flicks.  In 2018’s Avengers Infinity War, in one key scene, the super hero character Doctor Strange (played by Benedict Cumberbatch) conducts some kind of massive mental examination of all possible future scenarios

Wow what a terrible waste of my time and money.  I paid $450.00 to attend the Ontario Liberal Party’s Annual General Meeting this past weekend to help change it.  I had hoped that activists in the party would understand that the best way for a nearly extinct party to survive

Taron Egerton as Elton John in Rocketman I caught the new feature film Rocketman at the opening night of Toronto’s Inside Out LGBT Film Festival last week and loved it. As Elton John, actor Taron Egerton (previously most famous for the Kingsman spy thrillers) delivers the best performance I’ve ever
