It appears the Truck Nuts are about to get a lesson in unintended consequences. While they roll around Ottawa, honking their air horns, demanding that Trudeau meet with them so that they can hang him for ‘treason’ and otherwise annoying the populace – they have handed the Liberal government a

I am so heartily sick of editing stories about how local business owners feel that the public health regulation “go to far” or that the plan to allow such “essential” services as gyms and cinemas is “too timid.” I get that they are out of pocket for the rent on

I watched a terrific old western tonight on Prime Video. The Unforgiven, starring Burt Lancaster and Audrey Hepburn, directed by John Huston. And by terrific, I mean terrifically racist. The main plot point in that Audrey Hepburn, who everybody thinks is white, is actually a Kiowa Indian – a bonda

Conservative leader Erin O’Toole thinks the 87 percent of Canadians who are vaccinated should make allowances and accomodate the tiny minority of selfish shitheads who refuse to be vaccinated.  I agree.  I think the government of Canada should supply each of them with one of these: The Rev.

Probably not. Not if people continue to be obsessed with complaining about personal inconvenience instead of looking at the bigger picture. I am so sick of reading stories in the papers I edit about people complaining that they are tired of lockdowns and just want to go out for dinner

Christmas movies have been a thing since there have been movies. Some, like the 1951 version of A Christmas Carol starring Alastair Sim or Frank Capra’s It’s a Wonderful Life are must-watch classic every year, along with such TV favourites as The Grinch Who Stole Christmas (Unbeatable narration by Boris

Reading a story like this one https://leaderpost.com/news/saskatchewan/toddler-with-spina-bifida-another-lesson-for-health-minister naturally horrifies me as a parent and a human being — No parent should ever have to read the phrases “Blake’s most recent brain surgery was in May.

I’ve been off work for a a couple of days due to an eye injury (scratched cornea, if you -like my employer – feel you must know) but I will be back in the news trenches tonight. Not because I am fully recovered – I am not – but because

TweetI’m watching Casablanca for the evlentry-seventh time and I’m reminded of the profondund conversation I had with my unilingual Japanese father-in-law in which we agreed that Ingrid Bergman in 1942 was the the second most beautiful woman in the world.  We differed, only slightly, over who was the most beautiful,

I’m a big fan of Larry Wilmore and the Nightly Show, but tonight they totally pissed me off, mostly by punching me repeatedly in an old wound.Mind you, the dumb crack about whether Canadian Studies was “B.A. or bs” didn’t help — but my complaint is more philosphical.The topic of
