April’s showered itself away
and May is flowering all around
The buds are popping in the trees
and life is stirring underground
The snowbirds are winging home
and staking out their spring-domain
while fruit trees blossom in the sun
and lilacs scent the Maytime rain

Dear Editor:
I really don’t see much of a point in making a fuss about official bilingualism anymore… for one, there are far greater priorities to consider; secondly there’s no sense in re-fighting issues that were settled a long time ago. Finally, the Quebec Nationalists are dwindling away and the new intellectual movement in Quebec […]

Dear Editor
I am writing you concerning a subject that affects all Canadians.
On April 8, 2008, the Minister of Health in Canada introduced Bill C-51 into the House of Commons. This Bill proposes significant changes to the current Food and Drugs Act that would allow our government to bypass Parliamentary approval on new laws […]

Re “Next stop on Yonge line… ‘Home Depot?’” (April 24): If the subway
stations are ever named for corporate sponsors, can the renaming of
Toronto’s streets and avenues be far behind? While it’s bad enough to have
so many of our public places named after two-bit politicians and people who never set foot in Toronto, […]

WITH APOLOGIES TO ROBERT FROST
THE STREETS ARE FRIGID
AND THE SNOW IS DEEP
BUT I HAVE NO PROMISES
TO KEEP
THE TRAFFIC INCHES TO-AND-FRO
BUT I’M SERENE BECAUSE I KNOW,
TODAY THERE’S NOWHERE I
MUST GO

THE SNOWS OF HOME
winter’s old familiar call as the snows of home blow over all
Snow: In big soft flakes melting on my tongue
Snow: Dressing the naked trees in glittering lace
Snow: blanketing the sleepingfields
Snow: shining pristine white in the pale sunlight
Snow: Crunching like sugar cubes beneath my feet
Snow: Blowing powdery on the ski slopes
Snow: Soggy and […]

Re:The Specter-NYT-Spygate Super Bowl
As an American Fan of sports I would like to point out that cheating has always been AND ALWAYS WILL BE A BIG DEAL. Shoeless Joe Jackson was banned from baseball for life on just the rumor of it. While steroids might be an easier story for the owners […]

Dear Editor:
The pristine snow glitters
in the pale sunlight
rosy cheeks and happy shrieks
as snowballs fly
Later in the firelight’s glow
hot chocolate, marshmallows,
sleepy heads
Tomorrow, another snowy day.
Hooray!
The trampled snow glistens
in the pale moonlight
Good night. Sleep tight.
Sweet dreams. Sweethearts..

Dear Editor:
Once upon a time, a boy named Tim was rooting around in the attic of his grandparents farmhouse when he came across an old wooden ball which had ten tiny holes drilled in it. The only other marking on the ball was the word “glug ” burned into it. Intrigued, the boy hurried to […]

Re: Black Oriented Schools – How to hurt all Canadians
Just a word of thanks for your excellent article pouring cold water on the idea of black schools. You are absolutely right. Another point: the United States has a large number of “traditionally black colleges.” These are […]
