A country’s FLAG and NATIONAL ANTHEM are what millions of soldiers have lost their lives defending. To use them as shields to protest, whatever the case may be is humiliating, embarrassing and ignorant. It disrespects all those soldiers who fought for their flag and national anthem having laid their lifeless bodies on the battlefields.

The Minister of Energy confirmed a few days ago (Oct 3/17) that the Energy East and Eastern Mainland Pipelines have hit the wall. They have been rejected and are not going through. Kudos for Montreal Mayor Denis Coderre who stood strong in his efforts to stop these two projects and hopefully this time, PM Trudeau stands firm by his comment…

Absolutely yes, and make no mistake! It is indeed the best thing that can happen to any current and future society, if and only if, people stop simply tolerating each other and start accepting each other with a caring and honest attitude and spirit. We need to accept and integrate into our society with a common goal and identity. That…

Again, in Canada, it appears that the “BIRDS are SHOOTING the HUNTERS”, instead of the other way around. Is Canada going to regret the government’s overly tolerant accommodation policies regarding religious and traditional practices that are being introduced to Canadian society? How will these influences affect the Western and North American cultural and social values? An increasing number of immigrants, asylum…

The news said, “Sikh Politician responds racist attack with “love & courage”. Why differentiate between a Canadian MP versus Sikh Politician? That alone acknowledges the difference in people’s background within our nation and government. This invites racism. The term “Sikh politician” might sound good to the ears of many, but is literally discriminatory and wrong. It is often heard in…

Canada, being a young country of 150 years, still lacks a clear identity to many. A way to achieve that identity is also by acknowledging our own war heroes such as James Campbell Clouston. Mr. Clouston is barely known by only a few Canadians. He grew up in Montreal and graduated from McGill University. During WWII, he was an officer…

Kudos for the NDP government for hiring high powered legal advice to defend British Columbia’s interests regarding its pristine natural mountains, lakes, rivers and overall fauna and flora, against the federally approved pipeline projects.

Annualized rates are just forecasts and now that the CDN $ is getting stronger, the export/import ratio will weaken, but worst of all, we keep relying on the export of crude Oil from the Tar Sands and other regions. In my personal view, the first page of Globe and Mail on Sept 1st/17 misleads the reader about a healthy annualized…

We live in an age when everyone in North America and beyond should fully accept that we are all different and that we need to be tolerant and respectful of others. Tolerance and respect cannot exist, however, without social reciprocity. We cannot prosper in peace without this “rule of reciprocity.”

Last year Canada experienced one of the worst wildfires ever in the city of Fort McMurray, Alberta. This was the largest wildfire evacuation in their history with over 2,400 houses and buildings destroyed, along with 585,000 hectares lost.
