Buisness bailouts

Seeing that faltering big companies expect to be bailed out by the government, shouldn't successful big companies be willing to bail out Ontario.

Killer Foods

Hardly a day goes by when I don't read that all the foods and drinks I like are likely to kill me. I guess I'll have to quit. Quit reading, that is.

Private schools

I'm not religious but in this case I agree with the Christian School. The public schools are open to everyone, but a private school should be allowed to admit or reject pupils for whatever reason they like.

Injustice

I don't agree with Kim Davis' religious beliefs, I do, however, believe in being fair.

The Boring Campaign

State of the race to 24 Sussex Drive. Trudeau is stuck in neutral Mulcair leads the pack Harper struggles gamely with Duffy on his back May is nowhere to be seen, lost I guess in a sea of green.

Strange Pastor

United Church minister, Gretta Vosper, says she doesn't believe in God.

Cuba

Cuba raises a lot of chickens, so it's only a question of time before there's a KFC outlet in every town in Cuba.

Uncle Sam is a good neighbour

One wonders what Ernst Dick has been smoking.

Earthquaking the Gardiner

San Francisco politicians squabbled endlessly over whether to demolish or keep their elevated Freeway.

Win with Wynne. NOT

Win with Wynne she said with a grin and 'll fix the mess I got us in.

Sexual abuse at the RMC

A military academy is supposed to turn raw recruits into officers and gentlemen. Obviously, a lot of cadets at the Royal Military College in Kingston skipped the gentleman classes.

Canada's Snore Chamber

North Korea's nut-bar dictator Kim Jong-un had his defence minister executed for dozing off during one of his long, boring speeches. Our dozing senators are lucky they don't wake up to Kim in their Red (bed) Chamber.

Red-Chamber Blues

Duff will huff, puff and bluff to keep his Senate seat because a Red Chamber berth is a treat that can't be beat

Spring Break

The sound of crackling Ice echoes from river and lake as the waking waters muscle-up to surge and splash free of their winter straitjackets at long, last.

The U.S. and the Middle East

It made sense for the U.S. to be involved in the Middle-East countries when it needed their oil. But seeing the U.S. will soon have enough oil of its own from shale, why not have nothing to do with the Middle East and let them continue to slaughter each other?

Easter Joy

Church-bells ring and choirs sing O glorious Easter morn holiest of holy days 'twas then that Jesus was reborn.

Murder in Moscow

Vladimir Putin's harshest critic is murdered on a Moscow street. Moscow's police chief, like Casablanca's Captain Renault, will, no doubt, instruct his police to round up the usual suspects.

Vladimir Putin, Charismatic Thug

Vladimir Putin is seen in Russia, and by the far right in Europe, as a strong, charismatic leader, which he is. But beneath the charming facade of the erstwhile KGB chief, who loves to pose for photo-ops on horseback and in fishing gear, there lurks a charismatic thug.

Winter Rage

A howling gale of freezing snow roars amok o'er the hapless land to let the kings and captains know that nature's still in full command.

Russia, Wounded Bear

Why do the media keep referring to the Russian takeover of Crimea and Ukraine as though they were both in the same category?
