Grabbing the Wrong Guns

​Prime Minister Trudeau has moved quickly to attach his long-planned gun grab to the tragedy that has devastated the people of Nova Scotia. Law-abiding citizens who legally possess and use firearms are his target.

Ban Abuse. Not Therapy.

Across Canada, politicians are debating legislation which they call “Banning Conversion Therapy”. What they are really talking about is banning any kind of therapy or counselling that might help a person wanting to return to a gender identity that matches his or her physical sex at birth. The proposed laws and bylaws would also criminalize parents seeking to protect their minor children from the damaging effects of puberty-blockers and irreversible surgery.

Political Discussion or Racism?

​Two Conservative Leadership contestants recently made statements with a Chinese connection; one was quickly labelled as racist, the other . . . not yet. But what is the truth of the matter?

PPE Supply Chain: Are We Chained to Our Supplier?

​In this New Age of COVID, we are all learning not to take anything for granted. Like freedom, for instance. Like restaurant meals. Like being able to run out and buy N95 masks or disposable rubber gloves. When we see precious supplies of personal protective equipment (PPE) being mismanaged, it rankles us. And it should.

Huawei, Ericsson, or My Rotary Phone?

I was a touch upset when word came out a few months ago that Telus is planning to use Huawei for their 5G network. It meant that I had to do some research to find out what it meant. I knew there was widespread public opposition to Huawei’s involvement. What was that about? As a non-techie person, I was being forced to try to comprehend the “mother-ship” in the sky that talks to my cell phone.

Corruption and Confusion: The COVID-19 Cover-up

​The COVID-19 crisis has focused world attention like nothing in our memory. It’s been called a war, a pandemic, a plague, an economic disaster, and an excuse for power-grabs by governments around the world. There have been deaths, dislocations of economies and disruptions of political processes.

Cognitive Dissonance on Life-Saving Measures

​COVID-19 has killed at least 39 people in Canada so far. If we can assume the same rates as 2018 (PDF), abortion has killed well over 200*. Not just this month, or even this week; over 200 each day. How many deaths are acceptable?

Temporary Crisis, Permanent Power-Grab

Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures—but crises are temporary and so the solutions should also be temporary. Emergencies such as wars and pandemics are times when we must accept some new limits on our liberties, but these limits ought not last any longer than absolutely necessary!

We Interrupt This Program . . .

​COVID-19 has gripped our attention like nothing else in recent years. Hockey games are cancelled, foreign flights reduced to a trickle. Children are riding their bikes or binge-watching videos instead of congregating in classrooms. Some businesses are conducting their business online or have either shut down or reduced public access. Even many churches are temporarily shuttered. Some are streaming their services instead of gathering in their sanctuaries.

A Timely Lesson

As has been amply demonstrated by the extensive impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on workers and families, Canadians need a backup plan to compensate for income interruptions due to illness or job loss. The problem with the current Canada Pension Plan (CPP) arrangement is that a large pool of funds, contributed by working Canadians and their employers, sits out of reach until retirement.

Public Enemy #1

​The mistake is often made of thinking that we are the first and only generation, the holders of all worthwhile knowledge! The wisdom of previous ages is deemed inadequate for the challenges of today. Yet, if we look to political advice given in the 16th century by political strategist Niccolò Machiavelli, we see that political chicaneries have long been practiced by the ruling class…in the past and still today.
