2022-10-3018 minOur Canadian JourneyEp. 9: Death Of A PromiseRecent reports show that the policy of Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) has become exactly the kind of slippery slope that its opponents were warning about. Instead of offering timely healthcare, our Universal Healthcare system causes interminable wait times, and when the patient's suffering becomes unbearable, cajoles them to accept dying via MAiD as an option.
In a nutshell, the promise of Universal Healthcare has died.

2022-08-1721 minOur Canadian JourneyEp. 8: In The Shadow Of The USEvents happening in the US provide a fulcrum – or a crutch, if you will – for discussing major issues of Canada. At such times, it feels like we haven’t attained the age of maturity as a country, and therefore must depend on examples and ideas from external sources for informing our views on issues that matter to us as a society. It is therefore natural that the posturing by politicians, media and others in the wake of news of events in the US appears juvenile.

2022-06-2822 minOur Canadian JourneyEp. 7 - Perennial OutsidersA small segment of Conservative supporters believes that foreign-born Canadians should not be allowed to hold elected office. This isn't possible legally or practically, but the Left exploits this sentiment to turn many voters against Conservatives. But no party is doing enough to ensure that all their candidates are capable people of demonstrable merit. THAT is what we should be focusing on, rather than the place of birth of the office-holder.

2022-05-2326 minOur Canadian JourneyEp 6: Grassy Narrows - Does It Make Your Blood Boil?The mercury poisoning of land, water & people at Grassy Narrows has the dubious distinction of being the most widely known and the least cared about public concern in Canada. Successive governments (including the current one) in Ontario have failed to remove the mercury. Opposition parties have failed to keep them accountable. It is now up to the voters of Ontario to force action and results. But in this regard, my crucial question for each Ontarian is: Does it make your blood boil?

2022-05-0326 minOur Canadian JourneyEpisode 5: Profiting From a MessCanada's policy on international students creates messes all around and causes grave suffering all over, including suicides and human trafficking. But this mess is not on the radar because the people who caused it are the ones benefiting from the mess.
Here's a look from one of the epicenters of this mess - Brampton, ON.

2022-04-2525 minOur Canadian JourneyEpisode 4: Is Canada Full Of Racism & Hate?If we are to believe the officialdom & much of the media, Canada is teeming with hateful racists waiting to pounce on and victimize non-white people. This is in stark contrast with the messaging OUTSIDE Canada, where our country is presented as the best place on earth to live. Of course, the reality lies in-between, but pretending otherwise serves certain political objectives rather handsomely.
This pretense requires that political gatherings should be judged (and castigated, when necessary) based on the skin colour of the attendees, thereby rendering non-white Canadians as mere tokens to validate & give sanctity to these...
2022-04-2325 minOur Canadian JourneyEpisode 3: Racing AwayIn today's Canada, a person's race shouldn't matter. But many Canadians have made it the center of their focus. Things get trickier when a person guesses another's race incorrectly. This becomes a bigger problem when being white is seen as bad thing generally.
Following a Twitter discussion, I tossed out a test with the photo of a white-looking man. Out of a few dozen replies, only two got it exactly right, and another two came close to guessing the correct answer.
Listen to this episode for the exact answer, and see the photo in my m...
2022-04-1713 minOur Canadian JourneyEpisode 2: Left With OilThe approach of the Canadian Left towards oil is at diametrical variance with that in most other countries. Their ideological fixation on one aspect at the expense of all the benefits of Fossil Fuels projects harms BOTH our present prosperity & the future one. The biggest victims of this folly will be our children and their children.
Listen to my views on the situation in this episode.

2022-04-1220 minOur Canadian JourneyEpisode #1: Is PM Trudeau *really* a dictator?Last week, a debate erupted after a Conservative MP called PM Trudeau a 'dictator' in the House of Commons.
I take a deep dive into what makes a government 'dictatorial', and the grey area between an ideal democracy and an outright dictatorship. I also examine the policy precedents that have already moved us to the darker part of the grey area, as well as the role that complacency on the part of the media & the populace play in our slide away from the democratic ideal.
