One Week To Go
The US presidential election is one week from today. Though, given the closeness, it may be a while before we find out the winner. That’s what happens in a close race. The winner of this year’s British Columbia provincial election was not immediately apparent on election night. in fact, it was more than a week […]
Thoughts on Leadership
On this Flashback Friday we go back nine years and my thoughts in the aftermath of the 2015 Canadian federal election. While the event that spurred them is in the past, I think the concepts remain valid, especialy given the rumbling these days that Justin Trudeau has overstayed his welcome with his party and with […]
Ten Years Later
In Ottawa today people are remember the terrorist attack on Parliament Hill decade ago. There are reflections from people who were at both shooting sites.

His humor tended to be cruder than I like, but there was the occasional gem.
One Year Later
It was on October 7, 2023, that Hamas launched its sneak attack on Israel, killing more than a thousand people and starting a war that not only has has no end in sight, but has now expanded into Lebanon. Where do we go from here? Last month I thought we might dive into the topic […]
No Longer Flying
Welcome to Flashback Friday and a post from October 4, 2014. I looked to see if Elbonia was still an option, but alas the airline ceased operations in 2022 I didn’t have the guts to check the box. Discretion in this case was the better part of valor, as you will see as you read […]
