  • Prescription for Disaster: How Hitler’s Drug Dependency Shaped World War II

    I. Introduction: The War Behind the War World War II often conjures images of vast armies clashing, epic battles unfolding, and entire nations mobilizing for total war. However, beneath these grand narratives lies a personal saga that is both astonishing and unsettling: Adolf Hitler’s escalating reliance on prescription drugs. This lesser-known angle of the war…

  • Real Talk on Israel-Palestine

    So where does one begin of a topic such as this, well we bloody well dive right in with some substantive facts and a bit of common sense. We are diving into a drama that’s been playing out longer than any soap opera – the Israel-Palestine conflict. It starts with the Jewish quest for a…

  • The 2024 Fall Economic Statement – Fiction

    Let’s talk about the 2024 Fall Economic Statement (FES), the kind of thing most Canadians skim past because, frankly, it’s packed with charts and numbers that look more like a corporate PowerPoint presentation than a transparent economic roadmap. But here’s the thing—a closer look reveals some serious issues that aren’t immediately obvious. Let’s unpack this…

  • The 2024 Fall Budget – A Hot Mess!

    Let’s start with the obvious: the 2024 Fall Economic Statement should have been a reckoning, a sobering account of failed plans and broken promises, topped off with a bold plan to right the ship.

Because what Halton Hills really needs right now isn’t affordable housing or better infrastructure, but a ‘Save the Windows…

  • Woke Costs Us All!

    Okay, let’s have a little talk about priorities, shall we? Canada, the land of maple syrup and polite small talk, seems to have its head buried so deep in the “woke” agenda that it’s forgotten one very small, insignificant thing—how to keep itself financially afloat! Seriously, look at this chart. Gender issues have over 120…

  • Canada’s Infrastructure Crisis: Waiting for a Catastrophe?

    Let’s face it: Canada’s infrastructure is aging, and instead of proactive investment, we seem to be waiting for disaster to strike before anyone takes it seriously. It’s as if the roads, bridges, and public utilities that we all rely on are screaming, “Fix me!” and Canada is just plugging its ears. The shortfall in investment…
