Truth, At Last.
It has really been annoying me. Instead of spending money cleaning up its act, this so-called Pathways Alliance of tar sands exploiters is spending large amounts of money telling us…

In Oxford, I’ll make My Stand.
It is a matter of wills. Is Pierre Poilievre the boss of the conservatives? Or is he not? Maybe, he needs to make it clear to all the factions of…
Sex as a Simile for Politics.
After puzzling over a more interesting way to describe Canadian politics, I finally said ‘screw it.’ And, of course, that was my answer. Henceforth, we will describe our politics in…
Weston Lies to MPs.
Why is it that the grocery magnates of Canada can go to Ottawa and blatantly lie to the members of parliament? Don’t any of our MPs ever go to a…
Dougie and Bibi: L’État c’est moi?
What have the Province of Ontario and the State of Israel in common? They have political leaders who want to rewrite the law. They want to be the law. Neither…
Poilievre: Pees into the Wind.
Like wise writers everywhere, it is great fun to drop the bomb in your last paragraph. Chantel Hébert did it the other day in the Toronto Star. In a story…
Of Fools and Damn Fools.
Common sense tells us that conservative leader Pierre Poilievre has gone much too far. To accuse the prime minister of colluding with a foreign government, to win the 2019 election…
Pierre Poilievre’s Pickle.
If the leader of the opposition, conservative leader Pierre Poilievre, thinks he could have a case to make of Chinese government interference in Don Valley North in the last election,…
The Ethnic Wars.
Despite the headaches it involved, I often thought it would be interesting to write a book about the ethnic battles for political advantage in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) from…
Is this the ‘Woke’ Generation?
They thought they were doing it their way. The Ontario liberals changed their constitution. They made it just as stupid as the conservative’s constitution. They learned nothing from the other…
Paying for Our Oppression.
It will continue to happen as long as we allow it. We let politicians such as Doug Ford in Ontario oppress us. He would have been called a tyrant in…
Sixty Years, A Liberal.
It was disappointing to not be at the Ontario liberal party’s meeting in Hamilton this past weekend. It promised to be an interesting event. It was also an opportunity for…
A False-Flag Favourite?
Beware the politician trying to fly two flags. Torontonians have put up with the lies about what political party mayoralty candidates belong to, for too long. I can assure you,…
Squandering Alberta’s Future.
When are the voters in Alberta going to learn? Tar sands revenue is from a non-renewable resource. It is called non-renewable because it will eventually be all gone. All those…
Mitzie For Mayor!
Not knowing liberal MPP Mitzie Hunter, she has already earned my support for mayor of Toronto. Mitzie is planning to be in Hamilton for the liberal party annual convention on…
Barrie Needs Bradford Bypass.
It was disappointing the other day to read a letter to the editor of Barrie Today from the executive director of the Simcoe County Greenbelt Coalition. It is very hard…
A Healthy Healthcare?
The other day prime minister Trudeau said at a Toronto event that the federal government was not the boss of the provinces. This is despite the very healthy amounts that…
Measuring Mediocrity.
Have you noticed how, at every new opportunity for voting, there is a fresh flurry of letters-to-the-editor about different ways to elect. For the upcoming by-election of a new mayor…
And Another ISP Bites the Dust.
Noting in the news that another internet service provider (ISP) has been purchased by one of the large telecom services was just another annoyance in life. There always seems to…
Poilievre’s Path.
Where are the Brown Shirts? Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre is picking a path that has been trampled before. In the 1920s, in Bavaria, there was another weaselly little man with…
