Outlaw Radio 1960

  As I reflect on today’s blog, I must consider a forty-year career dedicated to critically analyzing the complex rhetoric of politics and media spin. These strategies, crafted by both government and corporate entities, often present the public with narratives lacking substantive or rational foundations. Their purpose is not only to distract Canadians, but also individuals worldwide, from pressing challenges and concerns. Many individuals perceive my life primarily through the roles I have held throughout my career. It is not uncommon to hear remarks such as "he is just a retired truck driver; what expertise could he offer?" Unfortunately, this perspective is often used to distance ourselves from the widespread challenges and hardships experienced globally. Such denial of the broader human condition perpetuates the misconception that poverty and stress are irrelevant to certain lives, despite their interconnectedness within our societies. I understand that my comments regard...

The person who quipped that the job isn't finished till the paperwork is done wasn't joking. Karen has just started working through the paperwork, as hers is far more complex than mine, as she has her Ontario Teachers' Pension as well as her LAPP provincial paperwork to complete. As for myself, I took the initiative to begin receiving my Canada Pension Plan (CPP) benefits early due to injuries I have experienced, and I submitted an application for Old Age Security (OAS), anticipating my first payment at the end of January. However, as part of the verification process, they are requesting a copy of my Ontario marriage licence to confirm my identity, as well as, I presume, Karen's. The government can be unpredictable, to say the least. After all, we’ve been filing tax returns together for almost 40 years—shouldn’t that count for something? So, I went to the Ontario Government’s website and sent my last $15 to the Ford Administration for a card they've known about for...

  Unlike today, the 1980s and the large rows of shops, mostly independently  owned, many  of which have been  owned by the sam e families for Generations.  Jasper Ave in Edmonton or  Yonge   Street in Toronto were lined with everything from  clothing  and camera shops to  non-franchised  pubs and restaurants.   In Edmonton, the Silk Hat Restaurant offered patrons the unique experience of having their tea leaves read by an experienced fortune teller at the conclusion of their meal. Alternatively, families could enjoy evenings together at Buffalo Bills Restaurant on Kingsway Avenue. For those seeking something distinctive, dining in settings themed as a jail or  a sheriff's office was also available for special occasions .     Toronto featured notable sports bars such as The All-Star Cafe, which displayed Dave Winfield's apology  after he was arrested   for throwing  a baseball at a seagull during ...

  As Trump continues to place pressure on Canadian Sovereignty, a close examination of as a whole to geo global geo-politics from the 1980s forward, in terms of economics and trade relationships have many clues as to the decline of America and Canada as a whole, leading to not only the economic circumstances facing the lives of both working Americans and Canadians but also the polarization of not only the fascist right but also the radical left. It can be observed that numerous Americans are concerned about the Trump administration's assertive actions in the global economy, particularly regarding its approach toward the sovereignty of NATO-aligned member states. These developments reflect the culmination of policy directions and decisions initiated during the Reagan, Thatcher, and Mulroney eras. The first thing that everyone must do is put the Rhetoric on both sides into a corner. This is, for the most part, posturing. On one hand, you have the extreme right Oligarchy Which has...
