It is a spectacular day here in the GGTA (Great Greater Toronto Area). I am eagerly anticipating the Jays’ 38-5 run in the next two months. Today they have a game against the Bostons, who I believe will not make the playoffs. (You heard it here first, my baseball opinion is respected by many.) We [...]

Storms continue to rage here in the beautiful city of Toronto. It feels like something big is coming. Radovan Karadzic is captured and charged with the siege of Sarajevo, and the Massacre at Srebrencia. His devastation and crimes still echo in the memories and hearts of the Bosnian Muslims and Croats in the former Yugoslavia. He used UN [...]

Twenty Five Degrees. At 6 AM it is already 25 degrees Celsius here in this great city. (For the Americans that’s 109 degrees Fahrenheit!) First, condolences go out to the friends and family of the recently killed in theater Capt. Richard Leary, Canada’s 84th military casualty in the Operation in Afghanistan. Nobody asked me but [...]

It’s a beautiful day here in the city of Toronto, who wouldn’t get up early to enjoy it? Man, beaten to the punch on a Saturday morning! Thanks to all who supported me last week. I’ll keep results short and by the numbers. 42 km +$4,300 for Right To Play $700 for the Colo rectal Cancer [...]

If anyone were looking for an example of just how truly idiotic the man running this country is, look no further than this quote… “If a country wants to be taken seriously in the world, it must have the capacity to act. It’s that simple. Otherwise, you forfeit your right to be a player. You’re the [...]

I’ve been busy with rehearsals and exhausted afterwards, so haven’t been able to update the site at all. In fact, I haven’t even checked my email since Friday. Anyway, a few things… Welcome to the new Canada. Today, in Halifax, the Prime Minister announced the Canada First Defense Policy, which is a major shift in Canadian [...]

Sorry for the delay - but when it’s this spectacular outside in the fantastic city of Toronto, one can’t help but be distracted. The scenery in this city is great, and I mean all the scenery! Now, nobody asked me, but when did math become so handy to our Afghan tub thumpers at the recent NATO summit? I’ll [...]

I will give one thing to the government of Jean Chrétien – on September 13th of 2002 a letter was sent by the Canadian government to the United States government regarding the detention of Omar Khadr, a Canadian citizen captured at the age of fifteen in Afghanistan and charged with killing a US soldier. Despite [...]

With regards to Pat’s entry below this, I must admit that I will be happy to see Hillier go. Of course, Pat has far more direct experience regarding matters to do with the Canadian Armed forces, being that he is a retired Captain, served two tours in Afghanistan, and also served in the Balkans. That [...]

It is a beautiful day here in the fired up city of Toronto. The sun is shining, the temperature is finally climbing and last night 50,000 fans made their way downtown to celebrate the home opener at the SkyDOME for the Jays, who went on to lay the knuckles to last year’s World [...]
