Nanny Car for Nanny State

I have lived in a cold climate pretty much all my life. I know what it means to be Canadian. So I was somewhat offended when I turned the ignition on my car on the first cold morning of the Fall. As the system came to life a warning message was displayed on the dashboard: […]

Monday Morning Trump

Three weeks until the US presidential election, and it would be so easy to devote this space solely to that topic until November 8, but I will show restraint and spare you that. Just a couple of quick thoughts for today. Two months ago I thought Donald Trump had the White House locked up. Today […]

American Religion

As a student of religion I am unsurprised at polls showing Donald Trump has overwhelming support among American evangelicals. I know the importance of religions in American politics. There really is no separation of church and state, that is a polite fiction. As a Christian, I am appalled that apparently many American Christians do not […]

Is It Monday Already?

I couldn’t help myself. I watched the American presidential debate last night. That after a day of family activities to celebrate Thanksgiving (which is today here). I figured I would finish the post I had planned for today once the debate was over. But the baseball game between the Texas Rangers and Toronto Blue Jays […]

The Debate Goes On

The second of three American Presidential debates is tonight. To say this has been the strangest election season on record is probably an understatement. I noticed in the news yesterday that Donald Trump’s running mate issued a statement denouncing him. Somehow I don’t think that has been done before; usually the presidential and vice-presidential candidates […]

The Day After

No political commentary today. If you are interested in politics or world affairs, you probably watched last night’s first presidential debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. If you are a supporter of ether candidate, you probably need something to brighten your day. If you don’t care about politics, and weren’t among the record television […]

Debate Night

The first presidential debates of the 2016 American election is tonight. By midnight we should have a pretty good idea as to who is going to top the ballot on November 8. Usually my opinion on these things is that debates don’t really matter as long as you play a good defence. A politician doesn’t […]

The Publishing Sensation of 2016

The beasty is called an American Trump It’s skin is bright orange, its figure is plump;   My daughter the Kindergarten teacher brought home a new children’s book from the public library. She won’t be sharing it with her students though. A Child’s First Book of Trump is written at a level that a five-year-old […]

Dinner With “The Donald”

The man sends me emails pretty much every day. I usually don’t bother to read them. But this one was different. I’d love to meet you for dinner, Friend. You and a friend could win a trip to have dinner with me at one of our fundraisers as honorary guests. All I’m asking is that […]

The Bumper Sticker

I was driving, so I couldn’t just whip out a camera and take a picture, no matter how much I wanted to. But driving through New Hampshire, or maybe it was Vermont, I saw Hillary Clinton’s worst nightmare. Clinton should win the American presidential election by a landslide. That’s not only conventional political wisdom, it’s […]
