Tell the story of what is happening to people of the Nuba Mountains
Dear Editor ; Monday, February 13, 2012
I have the opportunity to talk to people in the Nuba Mountains about once per week. Here is just a small portion of what they tell me.
More...Tunnel Vision
Dear Editor ; Monday, February 13, 2012
So, Toronto Council opts for light-rail lines over Mayor Ford’s subways. This is the first time I’ve heard of politicians being accused of not having tunnel vision.

VALENTINE: SAINT OF HEARTS
St. Patrick drove the snakes away
St. Francis loved the birds
St. Christopher guided travelers
St.Paul had all the words
St. George slew the dragon
but St. Valentine stands apart
while his fellow saints were all
for souls
St. Val. was for the heart.
Just GRAND!
Dear Editor ; Saturday, February 11, 2012
My new granddaughter - not yet a week old – definitely has smartphone thumbs.
Of course, a few years from now - I am convinced – babies will be BORN clutching a smartphone or similar device in their little hands. Then a grandparent’s question will no longer be “what’s his/her name,” but “what model i-something is it?”
Also, I believe, there will be a new, mandatory, infant-dexterity-test coming soon, such as “does he/she have adequate thumb dexterity” or something of that kind.

Attn. GOP supporters:
Ol’ Newt is a hoot and a bit of a
loon
he wants to be president and go to the

Imams lie to Canadians about Islam
Dear Editor ; Tuesday, February 7, 2012
In response to the murder in Kingston, Ontario, of four female members of an Islamic family by the families patriarch, his second wife and his eldest son, thirty-four Imams from Canada and the United States issued a fatwa in Mississauga, Ontario, last Saturday condemning honour killings, domestic violence and misogyny as non-Islamic, saying that these things had no place in Islam and Islam couldn’t be blamed when they occurred in Islamic communities.

Dear Editor ; Monday, February 6, 2012
Some bureaucrats in the state capital have consulted giant computers fed by discredited UN climate models to draw up a Grand Plan which will dictate who can live where and do what, all along the Queensland coast.
More...Obama’s Wager
Dear Editor ; Monday, February 6, 2012
Pascal’s Wager says “If you believe in God and turn out to be incorrect, you have lost nothing—but if you don’t believe in God and turn out to be incorrect, you will go to hell. Therefore it is foolish to be an atheist.”

Dear Editor ; Thursday, February 2, 2012
A print-ready copy of this issue of “Carbon Sense”.
The Climate Scare/Green Energy Bubble will be the defining feature of our age. Never before have so many people wasted so much money and time on climate fables, alarmist handouts and energy toys.
More...Foreign aid
Dear Editor ; Wednesday, February 1, 2012
Seeing that Canada is blessed with a super abundance of seals, Canada geese and moose. Why don’t we use some of our foreign aid to process them for export to the Third World. This would create thousands of jobs in Canada and help feed the starving masses in Africa and Asia. A win-win situation all round.
More...A challenge for all MP’s
Dear Editor ; Tuesday, January 31, 2012
Honourable Members,
As a taxpaying Canadian, who is nearing retirement, I am very disturbed by the news of impending changes to our pension plans. Before any Government looks at the plans of the Canadian citizens, I strongly feel there needs be a rewrite of the “Golden/Platinum Plan” that the MP’s have.
More...Obama citizenship
Dear Editor ; Monday, January 30, 2012
You should check U.S. constitution, a President must be either natural born citizen or a citizen. Obama is natural born because of his mother. You don’t need two parents. I do not offer this in support of him.
More...Deep Six Somali Pirates
Dear Editor ; Sunday, January 29, 2012
The recent rescue of hostages in Somalia by a Navy Seal Team brings into focus the ongoing problem we have with the Somali pirates. These pirates continue to wreak havoc on commercial shipping off the coast of Africa, and there are numerous ships and hostages currently being held by the pirates for ransom.

Government does not earn money; Government takes money.
More...Free Trade
Dear Editor ; Sunday, January 29, 2012
Stephen Harper wants free trade with the EU. Japan’s auto chiefs want free trade with Canada. We had best be careful lest we get wedged between a European rock and a Japanese hard place.
