A very Happy Victoria Day to all of you and your families.   I’ll be back tomorrow.   Stay out of the rain and unwind responsibly.   Be well.

So, this was GaryA’s idea. It’s not like I hadn’t thought of it, but I was hoping for more of a varied set of topics. What you might like to see more of, less of, etc. Support, criticisms, love letters, hate mail (careful!) and the like. Gary, bless him, wants to say ‘thanks’. Well, I’ll [...]

I don’t understand why there is so much bellyaching in this town. The Canucks, after winning a repeat President’s Trophy, are on the verge of elimination from the 2012 playoffs. Commentators are apoplectic and the fans are livid. Why??? This isn’t the Canucks fault. You’re doing what they WANT you to do. You’re a bunch [...]

Many of you might not know of the illustrious Ms. Hilary Rosen. She, of the extremist set, is one of the far left wing, lesbian-first, cadre of haters that will surely derail St. Barry of Obama’s re-election bid. Trust me. They can’t help themselves. In the continuing brouhaha south of the border, that was spawned [...]

Easter, by its very definition, is the celebration of Christ’s rebirth. He who gave His life as sacrifice for all of us and returned to prove the marvel of resurrection. I have often found great comfort in this. The older I become, the more I find my faith deepens and I am defined by my [...]

Unbelievable. That’s the only way I can describe what I thought, after viewing a tape of the Trudeau/Brazeau fight. I planned on watching it in the West End with some friends, but instead took my son to the Canucks/Calgary game (sorry Paul!) By the time we were leaving the underground parking, Brazeau had demonstrated that [...]

1) I don’t know where we are as a just society, when a monster like Graham James is meted out a meagre few years for being convicted of molesting young boys. ANYONE convicted of such a heinous, grotesque act as touching a child, should get the gas chamber, but because we’ve gone over this matter, [...]

Whew! Well, that was quite a week. I’m trying to blend in some time with my kids during Spring Break, so no post today. But I’ll do something on Canada’s failing sentencing laws tomorrow and then a piece on the by-elections Monday. I’ll use two examples of ‘criminal justice’ being a painful oxymoron. The Graham [...]

What you are about to read is an eye witness account from a confidential source inside the RCMP’s troubled Special ‘O’ unit.  The source, who recently approached this writer, is a decades-long law enforcement ‘employee’.  All the facts as presented have been verified as true with other officials close to the investigation. They are supported [...]

This is a rather sad post to do. I grew up listening NW. When I once, as a much younger man, remarked to my father that I one day wanted Rafe’s job, he asked me to confirm that I was still registered at UBC and made me sign a contract saying that if I didn’t [...]
