Unelected Mike Duffy’s shameful disrespect for NDP’s elected MP Peter Stoffer

London-area Liberal MP Glen Pearson rightly calls out Mike Duffy in his blog for Duff’s disrespectful and mean-spirited views on NDP Member of Parliament Peter Stoffer. I say shame on you Duff you flabby, blabby embarrassing symbol of everything...

I’m being published, on paper even, in a book!

Rustling the branches of my old family tree

An early political rally

It seemed, in hindsight, to be less of a political rally, such as go on during an election campaign, and more of a small-town welcome to a Prime Minister. It might well have been both. On the lawn in front of a specially-built stage across from...

Whispering “Help!” from the windmills (or silos) of my mind

Those of you who have followed me, be it through my writing, my tweets, or home from the convenience store will have picked up on the fact that I have a fair amount on my plate. I’m a very slow eater. I recently joined a support group for long-term survivors...
