The Traitor
I bought some sugar the other day. I felt so conflicted about my purchase.It wasn’t that refined white sugar is bad for my health (and everyone else’s). As with many things, the stuff is okay in moderation. It was the brand that caused my consternation. I bought the cheaper sugar, as my Scottish heritage dictates, […]
Wednesday’s Smile
I don’t know about you, but I am sick and tired of Biden, Trump and Trudeau in this space. I thought we all needed a break, because I am sure there is still much more to come before the year is out. I laughed when this one arrived in my email, so hopefully you will […]
It’s Time To Go
Dear Joe, I hate that I feel I have to write you this letter, but you need to hear the truth, and it seems you need to hear it from multiple sources. I want to thank you for your years of dedication and public service. In 2020 you were probably the only Democrat who could […]
Who Needs Trump?
As Canada celebrates it’s 157th birthday today, thoughts are still turning to the American presidential election and its potential influence on our political future. The missing word from the June 27 US presidential debate was Canada. Neither candidate mentioned America’s neighbor to the north. We Canadians are used to being ignored by American politicians. Most […]
7 More Debate Takeaways
Joe Biden and Donald Trump faced off against each other Thursday night in the first US Presidential debate of 2024. Did you watch? Did anything said change your mind about the men and their candidacies? Yesterday I mentioned a few tings that struck me. Today a few more. Tomorrow and the day after that I […]
7 takeaways from the Presidential Debate
Donald Trump and Joe Biden (or should that be Joe Biden and Donald Trump?) squared off in the first presidential debate of the 2024 election cycle. So much has been said since Thursday, but I wanted to let the dust settle a little to see what I thought of the notes I took while the […]
No Clinton This Time
On this Flashback Friday we return to a post from June 28, 2016. Remember Brexit? It seems like so long ago. In the USA Donald Trump was challenging Hillary Clinton for the presidency, and all the experts said Clinton would win. She should have, but her team and party got complacent. Can you see that […]
Will It End Tonight?
They aren’t even officially nominated by their parties as presidential candidates, but you could argue that tonight’s U.S. presidential debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump is make or break time for both men. For Trump, it is an opportunity for a reset. His recent publicity has been mostly bad. Felony convictions really don’t help […]
She Wouldn’t Listen To Me
I received a phone call, supposedly from my internet provider. The young lady was very concerned. Apparently they have noticed unauthorized access to my IP address, and I needed to shut that down. My system was compromised. Hackers could have access to my information. I said I was okay with that. She didn’t listen, just […]
The Dream Lives On
If you are a Canadian you’ve been there before, though possibly only in your dreams. The Stanley Cup finals. Game seven. One game to prove who is the best in the hockey universe. For most of us that is a memory from our childhood. When we played road hockey, as pretty much every Canadian kid […]
