When I see how the tragedy in Paris has some of the bigots in this country crawling out of their holes, to spew ignorance and hatred. Like this ghastly joker. Half maniac, half beast.Or I read the comments from those who are so afraid, they would deny desperate refugees safe haven in

Continue readingPolitics and its Discontents: On Keeping Perspective
With the cacophony of voices calling for Canada to continue to “Bomb, Baby, Bomb.” and Canadian miscreants retaliating against Muslims by setting fires to mosques, it is crucial for voices of reason to be heard above the din of destructive rhetoric and behaviour that is emerging in the wake of

It seems only too tragic that just ten days after being sworn in as Prime Minister after promising to restore our Canadian values, and bring back sunnier days, that Justin Trudeau should be hit by the darkness of the Paris massacre. Only too ironic that the son of Pierre should have

Way back at the beginning of the year, when I first started writing Stuff Happens, the first topic was the attack on the satirical publication Charlie Hebdo. That was an atrocity, but at least it was a predictable atrocity: as terrible and unforgivable as it was, at least there was

Even for a man like Stephen Harper with so many screaming voices in his head, it was an astonishing transformation. Something right out of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.One moment he was telling a a group of young people in BC about how he planned to create gazillions of jobs

It's not going to be easy to write this post, because the anger I felt earlier today, has been replaced by sadness and shock.Sadness for those who were killed, and those who loved them. Shock at the bestiality of those who would murder others for the "crime" of wielding a pencil.For
