The right to freedom of conscience and the NDP and Liberals.
Since both the NDP and the Liberals will not allow anti-abortion candidates to run for their respective parties, I suggest we need a new progressive party that will. We need a party that stands for the right of all people … Continue reading
Adventures with tech support: If it’s not broke don’t fix it
Yesterday I had a problem with Driver Detective not loading. I phoned their support desk. The technician said they could fix it and asked for remote access to my machine. I granted it and watched as a technician fixed the … Continue reading

Nora’s Warrior
My younger grand-daughter, Nora while shopping with her maternal grandmother, saw a terracotta warrior replica she thought looked like me. I eventually bought and repaired it (was damaged and being sold “as is”). It now sits in our backyard under … Continue reading
Wanted: Parliamentarians with independent minds
To counter the notion that elected officials should merely be delegates and blindly follow the party line, I think all elected representatives should subscribe to Edmund Burke’s principle of representative government. “.. it ought to be the happiness and glory … Continue reading

Ed Broadbent is NO elder statesman.
I admit to leaning somewhat left politically. When I was younger I was a card carrying member of the NDP. Even worked for Dan Heap and Barbara Beardsley. Since moving to Kitchener, I have voted Liberal more than once; the … Continue reading
