At 67 years of age you might well imagine I spend a little time in pharmacy line-ups. It was my first visit for 2017 after a nasty bout of seasonal congestion sent me there via the doctor’s office. In front of me, an older lady stepped up to the window to receive her medicine. […]

That’s No Bull

It seems to me that the success of the television series Bull rests partly with the fascination the public has for good and accurate advice, especially from psychologists. The character, Dr. Jason Bull, possesses acute observation skills that translate blinking eyes and various gestures into tattletale psychological truths that rarely get challenged. He analyzes […]

In a soft confident voice, he reflected with strong conviction upon his achievements, many of […]

Headline of the Century

After having watched and heard how the leaders of the most powerful country in the world buccaneered publicly like guttersnipes to steal a win from an angry US electorate, it’s little wonder why many children today lack manners and respect. The ordeal cheapened the honour of the Oval Office. It brought out the worst […]

Helicopter Parents

BACKGROUND

When I think of good parenting, the thought of running into a mother bear with her cubs on a forest trail sends hysterical chills to my scream chamber. There’s no question that mother bear will protect her babies from any threat, perceived or real, without hesitation, at all times – morning, noon, afternoon and […]

We Are Currently Experiencing Longer than Normal Wait Times

We are currently experiencing longer than normal wait times to speak with an agent.

Today I took a letter to be mailed to the Mayor of the City of Richmond at a 711 outlet. I walked up to the postal services agent and asked if a letter to a municipal government required postage. The answer, […]

Affordable Housing: The Elusive Dream

For some reason the conversation about affordable housing has left co-operative housing off the list. Instead, new home buyers and young people keep getting hammered over and over by government policy that keeps them out of the real estate market rather than open any doors.

Conservatives and liberals alike seem to agree that tightening up […]

Only in Canada are Comedians under Fire

As I watched a news broadcast last night, I found my eyebrows lifting higher and higher and my jaw opening wider and wider as I listened and watched three experts debate Donald Trump’s appearance on The Tonight Show. One panellist argued vociferously that Jimmy Fallon, a comedian, was too soft on Donald Trump, a […]
