Letters to The Editor
As a proud Canadian, I’m proud of our Canadian Troops in Afganistan.I fully support them and the mission.Unlike some people in this country, our troops have made Canada proud.
Our troops need to stay there until the mission is done.Yes we have some gutless politicians in this country who want our troops out […]

Why Canada is in Afghanistan

Saturday, September 29th, 2007

After reading this link below, I cannot understand why there are Canadians who are against the mission in Afghanistan.People, like the Jack Laytons of this country.Our people are there for a very good reason…..Just ask a soldier who has been there.
Why does Jack Layton and people like him think that we should not be there.Funny […]

Afghanistan and the News Media

Saturday, September 29th, 2007

Oh yes here we go again, the same old media crap.Today as reported a Canadian soldier was killed in Afghanistan.Since the last Canadian death, we Canadians seldom here about the good that our troops are doing.Seems the news media only likes to focus on the death of soldiers.
When will the news media finally pull […]

Bring on the Clowns

Re “Iranians decry host’s rudeness.” (Sept. 26):
The Iranian leader’s image may well have been boosted at home by his host’s rudeness, but rudeness is the last thing that Iranians have to worry about. The rest of the world saw for themselves that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is a charlatan. Those who were opposed to allowing the […]

Traffic Circles

I see where a number of Toronto politicians are in favor of traffic circles.
I guess they’ve been talking in circles for so long they figure driving in them would be just as easy.

SPELLBOUND IN ONTARIO

Friday, September 21st, 2007

Around the cold-bare fields-of-fall
the sumac is aflame in the waning
sun as the stately maples shower their
red and gold on the bracing breeze.
And high in the sky, the southbound
geese
honk farewell as they fly away to
warmer climes
With the green/days gone
and the white/days looming
Mother Nature puts on her
annual spellbinding show
as she splashes her many-
splendored colors
all over Ontario
William […]

FALLTARIO

Friday, September 21st, 2007

All the trees are blazing madly
all the fields are shucked and shorn
all the orchard fruit is gathered
all the cribs are stuffed with corn
steaming cobs and roasting wieners
and a sing-song in the bonfire’s glow
as the fall-queen takes her dazzling
cloak and custom wraps Ontario

I would like to send our condolences to family and friends of Sergeant Jeffers from the United Conservatives of Virginia. I linked to Canada Free Press while blogging from Kuwait and received such a warm email back that my morale soared. Though we did not know the sergeant, his death […]

Runaway Climate Captured

Monday, September 17th, 2007

Granted - Global Warming Man made is a fantasy, but, try this as the next calamity scenario—-
Current observations of Arctic warming seem to hold promise of opening the fabled Northwest Passage from the Pacific to the Atlantic. This would be a boon to shipping during the period during the year in which it occurred. BUT […]

Ontario Electoral System

Sunday, September 16th, 2007

To the editor:
On October 10th, Ontarians will vote for representatives to a new provincial parliament, but also in a referendum on the current “First Past The Post” system (FPTP).
The device currently used for electing members to the legislature is a plurality system with single member constituencies. Winning candidates simply gain more votes than any […]
