Ontario Provincial Election Musings
Regarding the Ontario Election: I will not repeat everything verbatim that I said on Twitter, but I will say this to the Ontario Liberal Party. Get some serious policy rethink going before you pick a leader; specifically 1 member, 1 vote and allow all members to vote. Do away with the delegated conventions. You’ll be…

Welcome to my moved blog!
As you’ll see, its very bare-bones here at the moment. That’s partially due to me still figuring out what I want to do on here and how to do it – themes and customization of features are very limited on the free version of WordPress. It’s also partially due to the fact that my blog…

A Potential Blog Move
Well.. its renewal time for the server that hosts my blog due on April 7, and at this point, with lack of blog activity (except what you see on my Twitter feed that pops up on the sidebar), I’m not particularly inclined to pay the renewal fees for something I’m not using. I note that…

What I’ll be watching for Election night (PPC – Rural ON/AB) #Elxn44
We’ve had a month of campaigning in the Federal Election 2021. I don’t need to recap everything that’s gone on, except to say it APPEARS (with large emphasis on that word) that the Conservatives seem to have stalled momentum with 3 days to go, and that the Liberals appear to have regained small leads or…

The blog awakens for Federal Election 2021
Hello folks: Miss me? (Don’t answer that 😉 ) Seeing as we’re about to head into a Federal Election set for Sept 20, I thought it time to shake off the cobwebs off of this blog and revive it a tad. I won’t promise you posts every day, as I used to do back in…

Renewing the domain for another year
So my renewal for this domain came up. I thought long and hard for whether to bother renewing it… since its obvious to all that my blogposting on this has been much reduced since the advent of other social media platforms – notably for me Twitter, and because of the cost involved (This is also…

RIP Senator
It was always neat to have a sitting Senator show up at our Progressive Bloggers meetings/get-togethers — not just as a politician glad-handing us looking for photo-ops.. but as an actual Progressive blogger herself. For many years, Senator McCoy wrote on her own personal blog called “Hullabaloos”. It was pretty cool the day I got…

5 Days Until The Strangest Christmas Ever
With cases continuing to rise, and the spectre of an apparent Ontario province wide lockdown coming on Christmas Eve, widespread availability of these Covid-19 vaccines can’t get here soon enough.

Sanity has returned to the US (hopefully).
As of this writing, Donald Trump has not conceded the US Presidential race, but that doesn’t matter. Joe Biden is the President-elect and Trump’s court cases that have charged voter fraud have so far all failed. On Jan 20, Joe Biden will be sworn in. He will have many challenges ahead of him, but his…

Trump’s Covid-19 positive test – the ultimate October Surprise.. the ultimate Karma
News that US President Donald Trump, First Lady Melania Trump and other high level Republican officials have tested positive for Covid-19 – and others awaiting test results after potential exposure to the above – has added another dimension of disarray to what was already one of (if not the most) chaotic US Presidential campaigns in…
