  2025 , without a doubt, has been a year of the most political uncertainty both Canada and the world have ever seen post-war .  Trump 's continual push to destroy the Canadian economy , surrendering it to statehood , has all but backfired. Although there are many other stories in 2025, the story of a small population Country such as Canada being able to trip up the Oligarchy and an insane leader of the USA surely has to top just about everyone's list of astonishing moments. Canada's response to Trump's oppressive tariff regime was swift and working in overdrive, rebuilding the Canadian economy by piggybacking on the ultimate strength of the European Union and the vast populations of Indochina . As Trump's isolationist policies began to crash and burn, he moved to the one thing American administrations are famous for: adopting a military strategy of bombing countries globally. This economic backfiring has created vast amounts of unrest in both the USA and within...

  3:40 PM (13 minutes ago) The time has finally arrived for me to join the ranks of senior citizens as I celebrate my 65th birthday. Surprisingly, this milestone came around much sooner than I expected. I double-checked my calculations with fingers, toes, and even an old Fisher-Price abacus, but it's clear that time flies. Much like unexpected pregnancies, reaching this age wasn't something I ever truly planned for. I remember 65, that was my grandmother, as we would walk into her kitchen, smelling the fresh baking and hearing the wringer washer as it slowly agitated the clothes till they were clean, then squished between two rollers, and then neatly pinned to a huge line to dry in the air. A solitary black rotary dial telephone was mounted on the kitchen wall, serving as the household’s sole communication device. Nearby, older siblings and cousins would wait for their turn to use it; when patience wore thin, they often opted to visit the friend directly rather than wait longer...

  So here it is, another year has virtually come and gone. This year has brought joy ,   memories of times long gone, loss and with the fresh blanket of a n ew  snow  comes a  sadness that perme ates  a season of festive flare and revelry.     Yet, as the days grow shorter and the cold settles in, there is comfort to be found in small gatherings, the glow of candlelight, and the gentle reminder that with each  season  cycle, hope quietly endures.  Amid  reflection, we hold  close to  the cherished moments, drawing warmth from laughter shared and the quiet strength of those who walk beside us through both celebration and sorrow.   Throughout my life, from my formative years to adulthood, I have  encountered  significant challenges. What began as a journey filled with high aspirations evolved into ongoing obstacles and persistent anxiety. These experiences have led to a continual search for stability and ...

  Today, I am reflecting on the challenge of  identifying  credible news sources. Social media platforms are increasingly populated with individuals spreading misinformation and propaganda, engaging in contentious exchanges that obscure reality. Meanwhile, access to reliable news is often limited or heavily restricted.     Facebook , X,  and Instagram increasingly resemble tabloids rather than dependable sources of information.   There appears to be greater public interest in the activities of Justin and Katy Perry, or in updates  regarding  Carney's appearance or Poilievre's grooming choices.   When I started my writing career in the 1980s, news coverage was distinct from lighter human-interest stories, which were typically placed on the back pages or reserved as concluding segments on late night television and radio broadcasts. Television networks and newspapers  allocated  substantial resources to investigative journalism,...

  Rob Ford has now admitted that both he and the Carney Government knew about upcoming layoffs at Algoma Steel. Without verifying the legitimacy of the need or the allocation of bailout funds, the Ontario Government issued a cheque for $100 million, while the Carney Government added another $400 million. The major announcements celebrating the revival of Canadian steel turned out to be mere performances; in reality, they were examples of corporate welfare at its worst.   The public and parliament should be asking Algoma to open its books and find out where the 500million given has been allocated to and how much. This has been a problem for many decades , during which billions of dollars were directed to private corporations, only to be misdirected or diverted into executive compensation.   Years ago, former NDP Leader David Lewis wrote a book entitled The Corporate Welfare Bums, and this money now in private hands looks more like that or the Harper Government and ...
