Canadians get downright cranky when they must fill up at a gas station and pay the exorbitant price of $1.35 for a liter of gasoline. Our Ontario gasoline comes from the U.S. after being refined from Canadian sourced oil. Why this is so is difficult to understand other than our political leaders oversaw the privatization …

Global Warming Imperatives
Global warming and climate change are real, and our media should be doing far more to create awareness. Governments must with the highest priority show leadership and develop policies to stave off the pending disaster that will surely occur if we fail to reduce CO2 emissions and curtail environmentally damaging practices. Oceans rising over our …
Befriending the White Helmets
I am aghast that the Canadian government which with full knowledge of the true actions of the White Helmets rescue units in Syria, would support them in any way, but that is just what we are doing according to yesterday’s headline story. It was reported that some 400 White Helmets were saved from being either …

As usual corporate media …

Had a couple of drinks and a couple of puffss last night after which I went outside to sit on my beach and overlook my lake. Actually, I was sitting on my little deck overlooking my little pool, but I am a dreamer. I spot a moth or some such bug struggling to save itself …
Constitutional Blockage
The Ford campaign stated that an Andrea Horwath government could not renationalize Ontario Hydro because of some legislation disallowing it. If there is such legislation I would say it is legislation that does not serve the public good, we will get rid of it post haste. Now I ask, how is it that we cannot …
Doug Ford – Yesterday’s Man
I never would have thought that Doug Ford; to me a Trump sound-a-like, could be elected premier of Ontario, but he was. Ford, to my mind, would have been better elected in the sixteenth century when there was no concern and no need to spend on global warming as the Europe was still emerging from …
