Trust but verify, was a line from former U.S. President Ronald Reagan. I have heard it being used more now as there seems to be an erosion of trust in global affairs. It is a line I believe our news media needs to follow in a world where deciding between what is fact and fiction is only going to …
Protests in support of Palestine are growing here at home and across the world. This is not surprising when seeing images of war and brutality coming out of Gaza. There has also been a call for a ceasefire in the region getting louder as well. I would support this call, if I thought it meant the …
Many of my posts focus on American politics, so today I want to give some attention to Canadian politics. I want to lay a non- partisan, serious pathway forward for each of the three main federal parties. 2025 is still a long way out to sit around in self induced political paralysis. All three le…

The Greenbelt currently dominates Ontario news - that I felt the need to add something to defend the pro build stance the government has taken. Found in speaking with too many Green Belt defenders that the environment was being used as a smokescreen. Some don't understand the economic need f…
Watched the first 2024 Republican Debate last night. It was another Blue Jays snooze fest so I found myself in search of something more entertaining. I am guessing the debate was ignored by many with former President Trump skipping the proceeding. He is so far out in the lead for the 2024 Republic…
