SEPTEMBER 30, 2020 – If Politics truly are a blood sport, veteran journalist and Fox broadcaster Chris Wallace proves it after a brutal Presidential debate. This writer rarely writes about US politics. I went to school in the US and lived there in the 90’s. I have friends and familyContinue Reading

SEPTEMBER 18, 2020 – I am a hyper non partisan voter. I go one election at a time because I’ve seen the damage that partisan politics cause. In politics sometimes you see some amazing potential in politicians. They usually let us down. Mr. Trudeau let down a lot of hisContinue Reading
SEPTEMBER 18, 2020 – It’s great to be able to use tax money to promote your causes. It’s one of the perks of getting elected. However in 2020 we’re in the midst of a second wave of COVID-19. While Cornwall has either been really lucky with low case numbers, orContinue Reading
SEPTEMBER 13, 2020 – Politicians and media have a strange way of explaining the ways that Oranges can fly. They really do. One of the positive things about COVID was CERB. The Trudeau government made a choice that put cash in the hands of many that truly needed it inContinue Reading
SEPTEMBER 8, 2020 – There is a tree outside my window which has already a bunch of orangey yellow leaves on a couple of branches only, among all the green leaves. Is Fall far away? I guess those days of camping are just about over for the summer. It hasContinue Reading
SEPTEMBER 2, 2020 – Covid-19 is showing us a lot of truths. Some people are not going to like them and some will. The Ontario Teachers Union is one of the most powerful and successful in Canada. There’s no doubt to that. Through mostly its relationship with the former LiberalContinue Reading

AUGUST 1, 2020 – Well the halls of Parliament or at least the video airways reverberated with great sound bites as Trudeau testified on WE or shall we call it the WE scandal. Now let us be clear, Trudeau did not save himself- he just managed to survive. The realContinue Reading
Remember that wonderful song by Nat King Cole, “Those Lazy Hazy Crazy Days of Summer”? Sodas, pretzels and beer. Well, not exactly – no beer. When I was growing up you had to be 21 to be served alcohol. Any social circles I was involved in, whether dances, parties orContinue Reading
JULY 24, 2020 – As I write this, Bill Morneau still has a job. While it is hard to imagine that anyone feels this finance minister should still be a cabinet minister, his arrogance is keeping him in the job. Do not count on Trudeau who suffers similar ethical lapsesContinue Reading
There is appropriate anger in the US over the killing of George Floyd in May, caused by a choke hold and compression on his neck by former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin.

JULY 14, 2020 – As I sit here I fear for my community. I fear that our leadership is failing again by not clearly mandating the wearing of masks and not enforcing what laws and rules are in place. That’s not a mix for success and it doesn’t make senseContinue Reading

What first looked like a case of bad judgement has turned into claims of cronyism, ethics violations, an ethics investigation and now demands for a criminal investigation.
