From Far And Wide A Canadian Reflection
on February 1st, 2025
‘If I had influence over the minds of the people of Canada, any power over their intellect, I would leave them this legacy: ‘Whatever you do, adhere to the Union. We are a great country, and shall become one of the greatest in the universe if we preserve it; we shall sink into insignificance and adversity if we suffer it to be broken.’- Sir John A. MacDonald
Even with Minimum Wage Hikes, Workers are Falling Behind
on October 21st, 2024
The minimum wage increase in Canada is being outpaced by rising rental costs On Oct. 1, the minimum wage increased in Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Prince Edward Island. All other provinces except Alberta brought in increases earlier this year. That means most minimum-wage workers are doing better, right? Right? Not necessarily. Minimum-wage workers [...]

on June 19th, 2024
More white Canadians live in poverty than all other ethnicities combined It turns out that there are more white Canadians in poverty than all other ethnicities combined.

Canada Must Protect its Drug Supply
on September 18th, 2019
Canada’s drug supply is meant to provide for 37 million Canadians, not 370 million Americans. U.S. cross-border shopping could endanger Canadians Discussions about the U.S. importing cheap drugs from Canada have been around for awhile.

Three Principles for Better Schools
on August 15th, 2016
More than ever, Canada needs an education system based on the powerful principles of freedom, autonomy and accountability The evolution of education is coming full circle, for the betterment of children.

Face to Face With WAYDE COMPTON
on May 1st, 2016
We need to speak out, and to use all venues and channels of distribution. (The Afro News is one excellent example of this.) There is an unfair push to imply that there are few black people in Canada, and in the west in particular. These myths must always be countered. We are here, and we are significant. We must speak that truth, everywhere.
A Woman of Purpose, a Wonderful Documentary!

Canada Won’t fix MAiD until it Restores the Value of Human Life
Blocking MAiD for mental illness is the right decision, but it won’t last unless Canada rebuilds a culture that values every human life A special parliamentary committee has recommended that the federal government “indefinitely exclude” people whose sole underlying condition is mental illness from applying for medical assistance in dying (MAiD). While that recommendation deserves support, legislative changes alone cannot rebuild [...]
